uni love by Rona Keller [...]

Sometimes I really like an instagram photo and then it takes me three weeks to actually sit down and overwork it. This is my uni's entrance and I can't get over how pretty the whole surrounding is. :)

tumblr blog entries have been replaces by actual journal entries. i feel so much better by doing that, and yet, i'm still fighting with contentedness. I have not posted to flickr in too long. I feel as if self portraits are not sufficient any more.

At The Alan Institute by alex poulin [...]
--
Montreal, 1025 Ave. Des Pins. This house up on the hill probably gives the chills to many who just pass by... and upon further research the truth is probably more horrifying. Here's what wikipedia says: The Allan Memorial Institute located in what was then the Golden Square Mile in Montreal, Quebec, houses the Psychiatry Department of the Royal Victoria Hospital, part of the McGill University Health Centre. Although currently a respected psychiatric hospital, the institute is known for its role in the Project MKULTRA by the CIA. The Agency's initiative to develop drug-induced "mind control" techniques were implemented in the institute by its then Director Donald Ewen Cameron from 1957 to 1964. The institute occupies the mansion formerly known as Ravenscrag. The disturbing details has since been unvieled on the screen in a Canadian film called The Sleep Room. Unknowing mental patients are subjected to "modern" torture involving massive electroshock therapy, drug injections, and chemically-induced, month-long comas meant to destroy their memories of themselves and their families — a human catastrophe that stripped more than 300 people of their identities. There's the tragedy of Ewen Cameron, a gifted and compassionate psychiatrist who somehow crossed a line and convinced himself that he had the right to destroy ill people's personalities because he, with the godlike powers he attributed to himself, would then endow them with "new" and healthy personalities. It is a story which touches the same primeval fears as the Frankenstein and Jekyll/Hyde myths. It is estimated that 100s to a 1000 of patients were treated under these methods. Patients like Macdonald who was a young mother suffering from postpartum depression when she was admitted to the Allan in 1963. Quickly and wrongly she was diagnosed as a schizophrenic ("Cameron's funding depended on how many schizophrenics he was treating," she recalled bitterly), she underwent brutal electroshock which permanently erased all memory of her life before treatnent — 26 years. "I had six children, and I still can't remember giving birth to any of them." She is now estranged from four of them, and divorced. Here's the film made about the story... www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g_Vzd_l9Gg

The Wizard by Zack Ahern [...]

Now if only I had some magic dust to sprinkle on my essay to make it finish itself. Anyhow, really long day and I'm nursing a cold though you probably can't tell in the picture how awful I feel. It's also ridiculously colder than it looks and the temperature is dropping fast outside so I was happy to get this shot in under 30 tries. I also ran out of sugar one shot after this so a blessing from God that this one turned out. As you can tell, I'm still a wee bit enthralled with all the pretty colors in my new strobist gel kit. Strobist: One strobe with violet gel at full power directly behind me.
