I am preparing for another Indiegogo campaign to help fund my trip to Europe in June, 2013.
My new Flikr account holds some photos from my 2010 trip to NYC. The series reflects my continuing interest in contrasting the remnants of a previous use for a space that contrasts with the present.
Yes, I am a bit behind in developing and posting . . .
This old sugar factory on the edge of the river in Brooklyn is one of my favourites.
Prints of these images will be one of my Indiegogo prizes.
You can donate directly to help me with my first trip to Europe here.

Martyn Brown: Pipeline polls are for fake news trolls

Former premier Gordon Campbell's long-time chief of staff delves into the details of public opinion research—and how it's being used to flog Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion project.#nopipelines Kinder-Morgan and other pipelines shipping #dilbit are for export only. In British Columbia we have a small refinery that can only process conventional oil. Despite decades of efforts by unions to have oil refined in Canada, the majority is shipped out on pipelines. #jobs are shipped out with this non-renewable resource. Then Canadians buy the #gasoline back at higher prices. Yes, it is a system that only benefits the #fossilfuel companies. "Contrary to what many consumers assume, Canada doesn't produce and refine much of the gasoline consumed in the country, so prices here are heavily dependent on refiners in the U.S. And gasoline demand is rising just about everywhere in the world right now, so Canada has to pay more for its share.
"Prices in Canada aren't established in Canada; they're made in the U.S.," says Roger McKnight, chief petroleum analyst with En-Pro. "So whatever happens to the wholesale price in the U.S. automatically hiccups into Canada."http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/gas-prices-analysis-1.4626692Pipelines, politics and petrodollars: Here's why Canadian gas prices are spiking | CBC News

Doing a double take over how much it costs to fill up a tank of gas is a classic Canadian irritation. But a confluence of factors are teaming up at the moment to make that process even more gobsmacking than usual. Here's a look at five big reasons why gas prices are soaring.#nopipelines

Justin Trudeau wants to hand billions of taxpayer dollars to Texas oil execs – so they can force a pipeline to the B.C. coast. Many government MPs and cabinet ministers are secretly horrified, but they need Canadians backing them up. Send your message.
