When the sunbeams come here;
Wandering harpers, harping on
Waters stringed for such,---
Drawing colours, for a tune,
With a vibrant touch.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
A little walk to Woodman Marsh today to try and capture some foliage , but not much was out yet . Just a couple random leaves as seen here
Took family to catch moon rise at the beach. Almost missed it.
We were on the wrong side of the pier.
So, it's come to my attention that I have not worked on photos since school started earlier this week. I had a small window of time to shoot something between class and running errands, and then my damn camera would not work! I must have flashed my neighbor half a dozen times running over to the camera to see what the hell was going on. I changed lenses and got my photo, but I am saddened by this development. I sense a costly upgrade sometime in my future...
Thanks Lee for the link that inspired this photo!
Touch down.Going through some shots from January,just posted this too Facebook a medium i haven't used for a while.Thought it might cheer someone up now we are having to stay home during the covid-19 pandemic.
One of those photos that wasn't ever really supposed to be anything. I was shooting through a test roll at work. It was a roll of Kodak VPL that had expired in the early 1980s and I had it in a consignment Mamiya C220. The goal was the exposed film, not to test the camera. Our darkroom at work has separate, special chemical lines geared toward developing old color film, both C-41 and C-22. Color film from the early 80s though has proven some of the tougher C-41 film to get consistent results from, so we are always doing test rolls to tweak the chemistry and see if we can refine it. Truth be told, it has gotten pretty good. It won't rewind time and undo letting the film cook for 30 years in a hot attic, but it definitely can help.
Anyway, I didn't have too much invested in this roll, I was just making exposures. Whenever I do test rolls I try to keep it somewhat interesting, to find that balance between making the same exposure across that whole roll and making an art project out of it that doesn't get done nearly quick enough.
So I got to the last two exposure and I was tempted just to wind through and unload the roll, how important were those last two exposures after all? But the photographer in me loathed wasting the film, even if it was 40 year old expired color film. So I spotted my co-worker Young David (not his given, legal name) and had him lean down to bring his face closer to my view through the waist level finder. And then I fired off the last two frames, this being one of them.
VPL is a tungsten balanced film, so it naturally has a blue cast. I was not really thinking about that when I made this image, but the film's color palette lent itself well to David's shirt and eyes.
Anyway, not a photo that was really meant to be anything but one that turned into something I quite liked.

Triunfo Canyon, after the Woolsey Fire
The leaves of this plant were frozen by the fire. They’re hard to the touch, very stiff and almost impossible to break.

touch the sun
touch the moment
touch your dreams
but what you can hold
of the sun
of the moment
of your dreams
you should not keep
strew them back
set them free
give them wings
let them reach
the hearts of many
they will be blind
who will fail
to see the gold
in the sun
in the moment
in the dreams

A feeder stream at Silverlake in Brighton, Utah, USA. Not much to be seen early evening on this relaxed stroll around the lake, but I take the camera along just in case something catches my eye. I was hoping to see a moose, they show up here regularly, but not this day.

It's believe that if you are thinking your wish... and touch the brass portion door at the Forbidden City, your wish will come true. A long queue of people was in line to touch it, and it was difficult to resist taking a shot :)
