These are some photos of Holland, Michigan, taken on a Monday afternoon in July 2010 by Matt Bach of the Michigan Municipal League. Holland has many of the features and assets that the League has identified as making vibrant communities, such as walkability, cultural and economic development, green initiatives (i.e. LED street lighting), and entrepreneurship. The League visited many downtown businesses, including the New Holland Brewing Company, City Flats Hotel (awesome, by the way) Currah Irish Pub and many other spots. Learn more about the eight assets that make for vibrant communities and the League’s Center for 21st Century Communities here: www.mml.org/resources/21c3/about.html

The Michigan Municipal League represents Michigan’s cities and villages and is constantly visiting them. Here are some photos of the League’s recent visits to Petoskey in Northern Michigan. Petoskey is very nice community with a mix of shops, restaurants and stores nestled near Little Traverse Bay off Lake Michigan. It’s also very close to the vacation resort Boyne Highlands known for its zip lines, outdoor recreation and Young Americans troupe. Downtown Petoskey has many of the placemaking assets the League has identified as making up vibrant communities, including green space, walking trails, public benches, outdoor dining and much more. For more about placemaking go to the League’s website mml.org and visit the page about our Center for 21st Century Communities: www.mml.org/resources/21c3/about.html. You can also visit a placemaking blog by League CEO Dan Gilmartin called www.economicsofplace.com/ and our new placemaking page at mml.org/placemaking. In addition, the League’s 2012 Convention taking place in October on Mackinac Island will focus on how Michigan communities of all shapes and sizes can implement placemaking assets. It’s easier than you may think. For details on the 2012 Tools of Placemaking Convention go to convention.mml.org (www.mml.org/events/annual_convention/).

Lafayette, Louisiana 2
Image by Ken Lund
Lafayette is a city in and the parish seat of Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, United States,[1] on the Vermilion River. The population was 110,257 at the 2000 census; a 2007 census estimate put the metropolitan area’s population at 256,494.[2] It is the fourth largest city in the state. It is the larger principal city of the Lafayette-Acadiana, LA Combined Statistical Area, which, in 2007, had an estimated total population of 538,470.[3]
The city was founded as Vermilionville in 1821 by a French-speaking Acadian named Jean Mouton. In 1884, it was renamed for General Lafayette, a French military hero who fought with and significantly aided the American Army during the American Revolutionary War. [4] The city’s economy was primarily based on agriculture until the 1940s, when the petroleum and natural gas industry became dominant.
Lafayette is the center of the Cajun culture in Louisiana and the US. Lafayette has a strong tourism industry because of the Cajun and Creole cultures of the surrounding region. The Cajun cuisine is one of the most distinctive cuisines in the US, and perhaps because of the Cajun reputation for good food, it has one of the highest numbers of restaurants per capita of any U.S. city.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 47.7 square miles (123.5 km²), of which, 47.6 square miles (123.3 km²) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.2 km²) of it (0.19%) is water.
Lafayette is located on the West Gulf Coastal Plain. What is now Lafayette was part of the seabed during the Quaternary Period. During this time, the Mississippi River cut a 325 foot deep valley between what is now Lafayette and Baton Rouge. This valley was filled and is now the Atchafalaya Basin. Lafayette is located on the western rim of this valley. This land, called the southwestern Louisiana Prairie Terrace, is higher up and not made of wetland like much of the surrounding areas to the south and west of Lafayette. Because of this, Lafayette does not suffer significant flooding problems.
The Vermilion River runs through the center of Lafayette. Other significant waterways in the city are Isaac Verot Coulee, Coulee Mine, Coulee des Poches and Coulee Ile des Cannes, which are natural drainage canals that lead to the Vermilion River.
Lafayette’s climate is described as humid subtropical using Köppen climate classification. Lafayette is typical of areas along the Gulf of Mexico in that it has hot, humid summers and mild winters. (See table below for average temperatures for Lafayette.)

Nice What Is Not A Renewable Resource photos
A few nice what is not a renewable resource images I found:
bags, ink pens and status anxiety [a short discourse]
Image by the|G|™
.
luis vuitton, mont blanc and status anxiety [a short discourse].
.
when we talk about such things as louis vuitton luggage and mont blanc pens we are talking primarily [and almost entirely] about status symbols.
in a utilitarian sense, [and arguably an aesthetic sense] a louis vuitton bag or mont blanc pen is no more useful or beautiful than a similar product costing 10 or 20 times less.
given this fact, what is the purpose of such products as louis vuitton luggage and mont blanc ink pens?
the real purpose behind products such as these is not necessarily to please the owner, their social utility resides in what they communicate to everybody else who looks at these products and thence whoever owns them.
and if the viewer is aware of the language, the message that the status symbol ‘should’ send to the culturally initiated, then they may read the story.
.
stories through product.
every single thing we own, every single thing we wear, every single thing in our homes tells a story about us.
owned objects tell stories about those who own them.
though some objects have developed into ‘personal advertisements’ which behave in a very particular way.
many [usually expensive] objects are bought primarily not as useful or even beautiful things, they are bought simply as objects to be seen by other people.
to be clear again, these objects are called status symbols.
with respect to a piece of louis vuitton luggage, or a mont blanc pen, there are no good utilitarian, qualitative or aesthetic reasons whatsoever for buying these products.
they are not even necessarily ‘the best’ of that particular product a consumer can possibly buy.
there are products that serve exactly the same purpose, and work equally as well as those products which are status symbols, but cost considerably less.
but these products do not function successfully as status symbols.
this is because they do not communicate those things which the buyer of a status symbol wants their purchased status symbol to communicate.
a mont blanc pen or louis vuitton bag exists primarily as a signal; it exists as a recognisable physical manifestation and personal advertisement of the perceived status of the consumer that owns it.
again, the status symbol product very often functions no better in any utile sense than their non-status-symbol equivalents, but costs ten, twenty or thirty times more.
odd.
.
a strange thing regarding status symbols.
of course, the strange thing about status symbols is that the people looking at them need to know exactly what the object is worth to receive the signal the owner wishes to send.
they need to know exactly what the status symbol is meant to mean.
what that status symbol is meant to say.
if a person owns an £800 mont blanc pen, and the person looking at the pen is entirely unaware of the brand or the ludicrously high price, then the pen simply becomes the same as every other pen.
when the viewer is unaware of what the status symbol ‘should’ be saying, the status symbol ceases entirely to be effective in terms of communicating the correct social and status signal to the viewer.
it is reduced to the status of base product, and as such communicates nothing other than the fact it is yet another product. yet another purchased object amongst countless other purchased objects.
this is why advertising and fashion media outlets make sure as many people as is possible know the correct signal any given status symbol should communicate.
.
product – the lingua franca of the socially anxious.
in effect what we have are groups of peers signalling to each other their social status using purchased products.
in order to understand french people i need to be able to speak french.
in order to understand what a person’s status symbols are saying about that person, i need to understand the language of their status symbols.
so it is not any notion of quality or craftsmanship that makes a status symbol expensive, it is its power to tell those who understand the status symbol something [often entirely false] about the owner.
alain de botton proposes the theory of status anxiety in his exceptional book of the same name.
i think the behaviour patterns that come about as a result of status anxiety have existed for a very long time indeed.
that said, i think we now live in an age where status anxiety and conspicuous consumption can be said to be amongst the primary driving forces of almost every human being in any given developed nation.
as i mentioned, much more often than not, the function of a status symbol has little or nothing to do with its utilitarian, or indeed, aesthetic value.
it exists to tell other people exactly how much you spent in buying it.
this seems pitiful to me.
are the vast majority of people so personally and socially insecure that they need to commit themselves to purchase ever more products to ensure their position and status in their given peer group.
once again, i assert that these people are displaying the symptoms of mental illness.
.
we buy to be who we are not.
as we can see with the preposterous rise of the ‘designer label’.
anything can be called a designer product.
a pen; a car, a table, a pair of sunglasses, an item of clothing, a camera, running shoes, a handbag, and item of crockery, and item of cutlery.
anything can be called a designer product.
anything can be a status symbol.
you simply have to convince people of the correct ‘story’ it tells with regard to the owner.
once you can do this successfully, you can sell any monkey buyer ‘shit with a ribbon on’ [as my father used to call products of this nature].
.
a distant acquaintance twice removed has a daughter.
a few years ago the daughter found herself in a position of owning a great deal of money in terms of personal debt. thousands and thousands of pounds.
she asked her parents if they would buy her a mont blanc pen as a birthday present for her.
once again, i have a say that this is, to me, mental illness.
i can see no other sensible name to give these patterns of behaviour.
my apologies to natalia 
.

NB one very important thing i will add.
if you change your circle of friends, you can change your life.

PS – the question has been asked of me ‘why che’?
i think i will leave it to a flickr contact to explain the reason:

Chapel – Royal Naval College – Greenwich London
Image by nick.garrod
Artizen HDR Schlick
Built for charitable public purpose rather than to glorify personal status, the Old Royal Naval College has been a place much enjoyed and admired since it was established by Royal Charter in 1694 for the relief and support of seamen and their dependents.
Sir Christopher Wren planned the site and during the first half of the eighteenth century various illustrious architects, such as Hawksmoor, Vanbrugh and James ‘Athenian’ Stuart completed the design. As the nineteenth century wore on, with peace established, numbers of Pensioners declined and the Hospital finally closed in 1869. Soon after this the Royal Naval College moved in heralding a new beginning for the site as a naval training centre for officers from around the world. In 1998 the Royal Navy departed for its new base at Shrivenham and responsibility for the College passed to the newly established Greenwich Foundation.
There is a rich history to the site even before Wren’s Hospital. In Tudor times Greenwich Palace, reputedly Henry VIII’s favourite palace and the birthplace of Elizabeth I, lay on the site.
In 1873 the Royal Naval College (RNC) – later known as the ‘Navy’s university’ – moved in, heralding a new era of scientific training. The RNC combined the functions and resources of the former Naval College at Portsmouth and the School of Naval Architecture and Marine engineering, which moved from South Kensington. This new approach did not meet with universal approval and it was some time before the College’s contribution was recognised. In 1919 the Naval Staff College was also opened on the site.
During the Second World War the College’s major task was the training of ‘hostilities-only’ officers. Altogether nearly 27,000 of them, including 8,000 members of the WRNS, passed through Greenwich. But the war had a more tangible impact too: the Admiral’s House was badly damaged by a direct hit from a German bomb in 1943, and another hit the front of the King Charles building.
The Navy’s Department of Nuclear Science and Technology opened in 1959, and JASON, the department’s research and training reactor was commissioned in the King William building in 1962. From 1983 the relocated Joint Services Defence College also occupied much of the King Charles building.
The Royal Navy finally left the College in 1998, and formally handed over management to the new custodians, the Greenwich Foundation.

On December 26th, 2005 I was flying from Saigon, Vietnam into Bangkok, Thailand. I had been covering the AIDS epidemic as well as poverty and urban slums for the past two months from both Cambodia and Vietnam and was looking forward to a week of down time with friends. The Asian Tsunami struck only moments before my plane landed in Bangkok and I was on one of the first flights to Phuket the next day. I covered the devastation from both Thailand and Sri Lanka during the following weeks. As an ex disaster specialist I still had many friends working in the filed all over the world at that time and in the year following the Tsunami I kept in close contact with them. Only months after the Tsunami struck, I began to hear stories, as I expected, of how western money coupled with the tourism industry was rebuilding Thailand with record speed while Sri Lanka and Banda Aceh, Indonesia were left with few resources. Slightly ahead of the one year anniversary of the Asian Tsunami, I decided to return to Thailand where I re-shot each image taken the year before from the exact same angle at nearly the same time of day. Unfortunately I was not able to get the funding necessary to do the same comparison project in Sri Lanka. It was another example demand and marketing concerns dictating what news reaches the public, and at the time my resources were limited by what editors and publications would pay me to shoot, as I had not yet discovered independent journalism.
