The Trojan Nuclear Power Plant was a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant located near Rainier, Oregon. Here is an imaginative view and rendering of the heart of the controversial reactor core gleaming with its nuclear class rod travel housings and exotic metallurgy. To see it in the flesh was most impressive as it strangely resembled a high tech pipe organ. My vantage point looks up at the reactor core from the floor of the pressurized containment vessel, a rare view indeed. The image was captured before the plant opened in October 1975. It operated for 16 years before it was shut down in 1993. Of note is that the cost of construction and subsequent demolition cost nearly a billion dollars in total. Its history was fraught with technical problems and safety concerns.

The Trojan Decommissioning Alliance, founded by Lloyd Marbet, led the environmental opposition staging protests. Ballot measures calling for the plant's closure were defeated in 1980, 1986, 1990 and 1992 but with PGE plant operators committing to earlier retirement than the estimated 30 years lifespan or in early 2011.

Mow Em Down, The photos underneath the Carney show me with photojournalist, W. Eugene Smith at the 1966 summer workshop held at the University of Oregon  "Mow Em Down"  was captured at the Oregon State Fair and presented to Smith for commentary.  He smiled, and then scratching his forehead quipped, this just proves the old adage, there's a sucker born every minute."  Photos of Eugene Smith Workshop courtesy of photojournalist, Don Getsug--

The Assange Tapestry
"Free Speech, Free Assange"
Large Fine Art Print of Julian Assange, WikiLeaks Founder


16x20 inch archival giclee print
Printed on Epson Satin paper
Signed/Dated and Titled on lower white border

Clear sleeved on foam core
Shipped flat, insured with delivery confirmation


Here is my homage to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange who had won in the reader's poll conducted by Time Magazine as the Person of the Year. My art print incorporates public domain images and text of code from the recent Embassy Cables, in a new creative design that underscores Julian's philosophy and commitment to full internet transparency in this information age.  The image doubles as one of those rare instances where my graphic approach links up with contemporary world views. 

Assange is a symbol for those who yearn to live in a world free from hegemony, secrets, lies, wars and repression. His work is widely supported throughout the world (75% from December 21st Poll by ZDnet) more so than it is domestically at 51%, but the fact is that he has not been charged with breaking any existing laws throughout the world and WikiLeaks release of confidential documents is supported by every major newspaper worldwide as being in the public's best interest. In a recent article appearing in Spiegel International, Thomas Darnstadt comments that, "Since 9/11, press freedom in the West has come under attack as governments argue that national security is more important than transparency. But the hunt for WikiLeaks is a greater danger to democracy than any information that WikiLeaks might reveal."
