Roy Blakey pic of #holidayonice #star Stephanie An Roy Blakey pic of #holidayonice #star Stephanie Andros from Roy’s archive. #uncleroy #royblakey #royblakeyphotography is known for his iconic 1973 book HE and his book Roy Blakey’s 70s Male Nudes, featuring his #1970s #malenude #photography. Roy is #oldschool yet he did a website many years ago but when he saw so many people putting his pictures on their sites he pulled his site. Roy concentrates his time and attention on icestagearchive.com. I would like to pay more attention to his photography archive yet I have a lot of film sitting in my darkroom which needs processing. A few years back I started a film about Roy’s personal story and male nude photography since he was rock in’ #nyc as a #photographer for the dance world helping many actors with his classic #headshots. I have put the doc film on him on hold right now. Frustrating cause I want to lift up his past work but right now my focus is on Line 3 resistance. Since this page is my journal I will share that being a historian is a multifaceted task as I need to have a plan for Roy’s archive and my own frankly. Where will the #analoguephotography live in a world crowded by #digital pictures. #archive #love #family #history
Roy Blakey is not only my #uncle he is my dear fri Roy Blakey is not only my #uncle he is my dear friend with a positive influence on my life path. His photography career showed my mom that I could make a living with my camera. Roy’s IceStagearchive.com collection along with his 1960s rolls of 8mm film helped turn me into a filmmaker with my first feature documentary The Fabulous Ice Age. When he decided to leave #nyc and move to Minnesota he and I got a building to share for our studio and he lives there and I keep my archive there, still have my darkroom and workspace. I am grateful to have a partner like Roy in my life. At 90 his eyes are going and the last few nights I have been over helping him with his #directtv remote. He is the only one in the family who laughs at all my jokes. On this Valentine’s Day I am affirming my #love for #uncleroy. #elders and #kids bring meaning to life. #royblakey #royblakeyphotography #pickettpictures #keripickett #family #minneapolis #minnesota

New Book Launched!
To Be A Water Protector: The Rise of the Wiindigoo Slayers By Winona LaDuke.

"This book is written in the spirit of acknowledging that Water is Life. This book is a testimony of the resistance and defeat of the Wiindigoo. The term, “Water Protector,” became mainstream under a hail of rubber bullets at Standing Rock. This book is about that spirit, and that spirit is forever. It is the time of the Water Protectors. It has always been. It's also the time of the Wiindigoo. I am writing and editing this book at a time when the world stands still, quarantined with COVID-19, a virus. It is amazing time. I’m grateful to be here and to share these stories of Water Protectors." - Winona LaDuke, To Be A Water Protector: The Rise of the Wiindigoo Slayers

Fifteen below zero and a huge crowd came for a soc Fifteen below zero and a huge crowd came for a social gathering around a “just transition” away from fossil fuels. When the town of Palisade wouldn’t give a permit for the event we gathered elsewhere but still walked to the #mississippiriver to pray for the water. The town population is 100 and more than fifty attended the sunny event. LaDuke says solar panels work better in the cold. #wecandobetter #stopline3 #justtransition #fossilfueladdiction @welcomewaterprotectors @honortheearth @stopline3pipeline for more info on how to be a part of things are to help however you feel please go to stopline3.org welcomewaterprotectors.com #palisade #minnesota

Even though the city of Palisade wouldn’t give a permit for the event the group walked to the forbidden banks of the Mississippi River and prayed for the water. The town population is 100 and over half that came for 15 below temps. #stopline3 #justtransition #mississippiriver #fossilfueladdiction @welcomewaterprotectors @honortheearth @stopline3pipeline

Today there was a caravan of almost 50 cars and ma Today there was a caravan of almost 50 cars and many around #line3 territory to have people see what is happening and to show the locals the #StopLine3 support in northern #minnesota. It doesn’t make a good picture but everyone was in their cars and on a collective #zoom call and so we were together for the three hour drive by. This was a multi group event with @honortheearth @sierraclub @mn350.climatemovement  and the law enforcement was everywhere!
