Earth Day, 2022

The following, circa 1989, is a photo-montage, with photograms and small objects, by artist Jenny Lynn, a longtime friend.  It is titled "Planet Earth." 

(Here is the definition of photogram, via Wikipedia:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogram)  

As Ms. Lynn noted today on Instagram, the montage was inspired by Paul Gaugin’s 1898 painting “Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?”

Ken Burns's "Benjamin Franklin," on PBS

Am eager to watch, tonight, the second (and concluding) two hours of Ken Burns's new PBS documentary, "Benjamin Franklin."

The program's first two hours, last night, were outstanding.
