The Darkroom Cross-Processed
I've been waiting to post these! They're a series of four cross-processed cherry blossom photos with light-leaks. Honestly the cross-process didn't seem to change the images vey much but each one turned out really nice. I can't wait to take pictures of the trees every year and this is the first spring that I've had film! I'm so happy with the results and I hope you guys enjoy the photos.
This is the first of four
Close shot with Nikkor 35mm at f/1.8. Depth-of-Field is unexpected minimal - about 1 to 1.5cm. Contrast not as expected.

Qantas House, No. 1 Chifley Square, Sydney, designed in 1950 by Felix Tavener of Rudder Littlemore & Rudder, Architects and completed in 1957 represents the highest standard of architectural response to its urban setting and client needs through its form, composition and construction.
A variant of the Post-War International style of architecture, Qantas House represents transitional aspects of 'moderate' 1930s European modernism, combined with the latest in post-war curtain wall technologies and materials and is the best design response to its setting in Australia from this period.
Although altered internally, its external facade remains largely intact. The graceful double-curved facade is coherently ordered and its shape reflects and visually reinforces the implementation of a long-planned extension to Elizabeth Street. It became the inspiration for the eventual completion of the ironically named, but no less significant, Chifley Square, modelled on a town planned scheme of of some eighty years before. Qantas House is a key defining element in this important, planned, urban space; it provides an appropriate visual termination to important vistas and it visually links to adjoining important buildings and streets.
Historically significant as the first planned world headquarters for Qantas Empire Airways, at the time Australia's only, and Government-owned, international airline, the building, and in particular the aerofoil-shaped aluminium mullions of its curtain wall, gives form to Qantas' forward looking and expansive image at a time when air travel was taking off. Qantas Airways remained as its sole occupant for twenty-five years and remains associated with the building through its lease of the ground floor. The building is highly regarded by the people of Sydney for its inherent aesthetic qualities and its association with Qantas, an Australian corporate icon.
Qantas House is a fine example in the Australian context of intact, post-war, multi-storeyed office buildings from the first phase in the 1950s, and is from the small group in Sydney of this group designed prior to the amendments to the Heights of Buildings Act in 1957 that heralded the subsequent 'high-rise' phase. It has particular rarity within Australia for its unique shape, the outstanding quality of its curtain wall facade and its contribution to its urban setting. As such, it is considered to have heritage significance at a national level.
A well known and much loved city landmark, Qantas House is an icon of its time; a quintessential Sydney building that represents a brave future and a strong sense of history and of place.

đẹp trai đẹp gái mà bị kiu là chó ghẽ hơi buồn tình á nha mấy tình yêu =))
My husband, Ray, and I were returning from a walk in the park with our Cairn terrier, Jinks, when Ray suddenly said, 'There's a good portrait for you.'
I looked and there he was, coming across the road, oh so smart and resplendent wearing all his medals, a WW2 veteran with poppies and a collection box, on his way to a spot to collect for the Poppy Appeal.
I tried not to rush straight across as he neared our side of the road but I think he had already spotted me with my camera indiscreetly visible. After saying hello, I introduced myself and found that this was Joe. I explained my strangers' project and he was only too willing to let me take a portrait and told me that lots of people had taken shots of him.
Luckily Joe was very patient and I took several shots as the background was a bit tricky: straight across the road, a rubbish bin and a large white notice strung across the front of the church; in the road, vehicles passing constantly and a traffic-light controlled pedestrian crossing; and on our side of the road, all the forecourt paraphernalia of Tesco Express.
In addition, I wanted to include not only the bright red knitted poppy atop Joe's cap but also the French Légion d'Honneur (in the centre of all his medals and on his jumper). Joe told me this was awarded to him by Francois Hollande last year and presented at a ceremony at the D-Day Museum in Portsmouth.
I had no pen or paper with me as I hadn't expected to take any strangers' photos but Joe produced a pen from his inside jacket pocket and resourcefully used the reverse of a small strip of stick-on poppies to write me his email address so I could send him a photo.
Although Joe had an eventful time in the war, luckily he was not wounded. He was in the D-Day forces who landed on Gold Beach. He directed me to his Facebook page for further information which was good as Ray and Jinks were patiently waiting to go home. (Ray is always patient and Jinks does not like the 'pack' to split up.)
In 2014, Joe was, by chance, reunited with his wartime comrade Denys for the first time in 70 years when they took the ferry to France for the D-Day 70th anniversary celebrations.
They were both in the 86th Hertfordshire Yeomanry Field Regiment, which was part of the British advance through Europe and which helped free Eindhoven from Nazi occupation, and had not seen each other since then.
I read online that the battle of the Reichswald Forest, Feb 1945, was one of the Second World War’s lesser-known battles and also one of its toughest. Joe was an ammunition truck driver
I asked Joe if he minded me enquiring about his age and found that is 93.
One headline in an article I found in the Daily Telegraph referred to Joe as:
'the face of the D-Day commemorations'
I had no idea that Joe was living in the same neighbourhood as us and was really happy to meet him.
Having omitted to ask Joe what he did on his return from the war, I emailed him to ask and received this reply, ' I returned to my local council job to finish my apprenticeship as an electrician.' I think that it must have been strange after the horrors of war to return to 'normal' life.
I realised after taking Joe's portrait that a wider aperture would have blurred the background, also in my determination to include his Légion d'Honneur in the portrait I cut off a portion of the splendid knitted red poppy he was wearing on his cap.
At the time of taking this portrait (around Remembrance Day) Joe told me that his beard was rather bushy because he was growing it at the request of a family member for a special role nearer Christmas.
I have been pursuing a strangers' portrait project elsewhere and I hope, by joining this group, to gain inspiration from other members to improve my own skills.

A very late first submission to the 12 Months Of Dogs group.
But here we are!
After 4 years of doing the 52 Weeks project, and especially after some major changes in our lives, Liz's group became the best fit for this year.
For those of you not familiar with Ouzo, he's a 7 year old Border Collie who lives in Denver, Colorado and loves every second of life.
Here he is this afternoon, enjoying the fresh powder before it melts under the mighty Colorado sun.
We just welcomed our first child into our lives on New Years Eve, a baby boy named Vlad, and our lives have changed forever. So has Ouzo's. He is so good around the baby, gentle, not jealous, despite realizing he's no longer the center of our attention.
This is the reason why I've waited so long till I found time to take a picture for the group - not lack of interest but honestly, lack of any available time :)
Liz - I hope I hit all the convoluted requirements of your group :P

A friend of my father sent me an email with several pictures to "make you smile". Some were adorable, but one was very relevant to Re-ment. I thought I'd share, since even though I know what the item is, I've never seen it in action. :)
Not my photo, I just want to share knowledge.

Okay Soooo I started a 365 last year and i failed haha. I have made another goal to do it again. I hope I can do it! My Birthday was yesterday, it was a great new years eve and 19th birthday! This is my old camera thats hanging around my neck, im excited to start this new project with my new camera! and by the way my underwear has cameras on it :]
I really want to be a photographer for Teen Vogue! My dream is to be one of the youngest photographers for Teen Vogue.. its about teenagers right?? Well im one!! haha
check out all the pics here : facebook
Ever since i broke my lens, and kinda screwed up my camera's body I've been going through old pictures. This one made me think a lot. The 'pala' did. What does it mean? At first I thought of it as some sort of symbol for the connection between the two souls. How you become one with Guru sahib's blessings. But how can u be one yet not be attached? So i pondered... a whole LOT! Then i came across something recommended to me by a friend and it all made sense. So again, i wanted to share... cause sharing is caring rite? And because I know a LOT of ppl getting married these months. PS, PS, AS, AS, AS (no repeats). This is just my way of wishing you all TONS of happiness. So, give it a read. It's Khalil Gibran's description of a marriage.
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
=) yep!

Guru sahib has been repeating the same lines to this pondering mind forever! It JUST hit me though.

A Lost European Culture, Pulled From Obscurity
By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD
Before the glory that was Greece and Rome, even before the first cities of Mesopotamia or temples along the Nile, there lived in the Lower Danube Valley and the Balkan foothills people who were ahead of their time in art, technology and long-distance trade.
For 1,500 years, starting earlier than 5000 B.C., they farmed and built sizable towns, a few with as many as 2,000 dwellings. They mastered large-scale copper smelting, the new technology of the age. Their graves held an impressive array of exquisite headdresses and necklaces and, in one cemetery, the earliest major assemblage of gold artifacts to be found anywhere in the world.
The striking designs of their pottery speak of the refinement of the culture’s visual language. Until recent discoveries, the most intriguing artifacts were the ubiquitous terracotta “goddess” figurines, originally interpreted as evidence of the spiritual and political power of women in society.
New research, archaeologists and historians say, has broadened understanding of this long overlooked culture, which seemed to have approached the threshold of “civilization” status. Writing had yet to be invented, and so no one knows what the people called themselves. To some scholars, the people and the region are simply Old Europe.
The little-known culture is being rescued from obscurity in an exhibition, “The Lost World of Old Europe: the Danube Valley, 5000-3500 B.C.,” which opened last month at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University. More than 250 artifacts from museums in Bulgaria, Moldova and Romania are on display for the first time in the United States. The show will run through April 25.
At its peak, around 4500 B.C., said David W. Anthony, the exhibition’s guest curator, “Old Europe was among the most sophisticated and technologically advanced places in the world” and was developing “many of the political, technological and ideological signs of civilization.”
Dr. Anthony is a professor of anthropology at Hartwick College in Oneonta, N.Y., and author of “The Horse, the Wheel, and Language: How Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World.” Historians suggest that the arrival in southeastern Europe of people from the steppes may have contributed to the collapse of the Old Europe culture by 3500 B.C.
At the exhibition preview, Roger S. Bagnall, director of the institute, confessed that until now “a great many archaeologists had not heard of these Old Europe cultures.” Admiring the colorful ceramics, Dr. Bagnall, a specialist in Egyptian archaeology, remarked that at the time “Egyptians were certainly not making pottery like this.”
A show catalog, published by Princeton University Press, is the first compendium in English of research on Old Europe discoveries. The book, edited by Dr. Anthony, with Jennifer Y. Chi, the institute’s associate director for exhibitions, includes essays by experts from Britain, France, Germany, the United States and the countries where the culture existed.
Dr. Chi said the exhibition reflected the institute’s interest in studying the relationships of well-known cultures and the “underappreciated ones.”
Although excavations over the last century uncovered traces of ancient settlements and the goddess figurines, it was not until local archaeologists in 1972 discovered a large fifth-millennium B.C. cemetery at Varna, Bulgaria, that they began to suspect these were not poor people living in unstructured egalitarian societies. Even then, confined in cold war isolation behind the Iron Curtain, Bulgarians and Romanians were unable to spread their knowledge to the West.
The story now emerging is of pioneer farmers after about 6200 B.C. moving north into Old Europe from Greece and Macedonia, bringing wheat and barley seeds and domesticated cattle and sheep. They established colonies along the Black Sea and in the river plains and hills, and these evolved into related but somewhat distinct cultures, archaeologists have learned. The settlements maintained close contact through networks of trade in copper and gold and also shared patterns of ceramics.
The Spondylus shell from the Aegean Sea was a special item of trade. Perhaps the shells, used in pendants and bracelets, were symbols of their Aegean ancestors. Other scholars view such long-distance acquisitions as being motivated in part by ideology in which goods are not commodities in the modern sense but rather “valuables,” symbols of status and recognition.
Noting the diffusion of these shells at this time, Michel Louis Seferiades, an anthropologist at the National Center for Scientific Research in France, suspects “the objects were part of a halo of mysteries, an ensemble of beliefs and myths.”
In any event, Dr. Seferiades wrote in the exhibition catalog that the prevalence of the shells suggested the culture had links to “a network of access routes and a social framework of elaborate exchange systems — including bartering, gift exchange and reciprocity.”
Over a wide area of what is now Bulgaria and Romania, the people settled into villages of single- and multiroom houses crowded inside palisades. The houses, some with two stories, were framed in wood with clay-plaster walls and beaten-earth floors. For some reason, the people liked making fired clay models of multilevel dwellings, examples of which are exhibited.
A few towns of the Cucuteni people, a later and apparently robust culture in the north of Old Europe, grew to more than 800 acres, which archaeologists consider larger than any other known human settlements at the time. But excavations have yet to turn up definitive evidence of palaces, temples or large civic buildings. Archaeologists concluded that rituals of belief seemed to be practiced in the homes, where cultic artifacts have been found.
The household pottery decorated in diverse, complex styles suggested the practice of elaborate at-home dining rituals. Huge serving bowls on stands were typical of the culture’s “socializing of food presentation,” Dr. Chi said.
At first, the absence of elite architecture led scholars to assume that Old Europe had little or no hierarchical power structure. This was dispelled by the graves in the Varna cemetery. For two decades after 1972, archaeologists found 310 graves dated to about 4500 B.C. Dr. Anthony said this was “the best evidence for the existence of a clearly distinct upper social and political rank.”
Vladimir Slavchev, a curator at the Varna Regional Museum of History, said the “richness and variety of the Varna grave gifts was a surprise,” even to the Bulgarian archaeologist Ivan Ivanov, who directed the discoveries. “Varna is the oldest cemetery yet found where humans were buried with golden ornaments,” Dr. Slavchev said.
More than 3,000 pieces of gold were found in 62 of the graves, along with copper weapons and tools, and ornaments, necklaces and bracelets of the prized Aegean shells. “The concentration of imported prestige objects in a distinct minority of graves suggest that institutionalized higher ranks did exist,” exhibition curators noted in a text panel accompanying the Varna gold.
Yet it is puzzling that the elite seemed not to indulge in private lives of excess. “The people who donned gold costumes for public events while they were alive,” Dr. Anthony wrote, “went home to fairly ordinary houses.”
Copper, not gold, may have been the main source of Old Europe’s economic success, Dr. Anthony said. As copper smelting developed about 5400 B.C., the Old Europe cultures tapped abundant ores in Bulgaria and what is now Serbia and learned the high-heat technique of extracting pure metallic copper.
Smelted copper, cast as axes, hammered into knife blades and coiled in bracelets, became valuable exports. Old Europe copper pieces have been found in graves along the Volga River, 1,200 miles east of Bulgaria. Archaeologists have recovered more than five tons of pieces from Old Europe sites.
An entire gallery is devoted to the figurines, the more familiar and provocative of the culture’s treasures. They have been found in virtually every Old Europe culture and in several contexts: in graves, house shrines and other possibly “religious spaces.”
One of the best known is the fired clay figure of a seated man, his shoulders bent and hands to his face in apparent contemplation. Called the “Thinker,” the piece and a comparable female figurine were found in a cemetery of the Hamangia culture, in Romania. Were they thinking, or mourning?
Many of the figurines represent women in stylized abstraction, with truncated or elongated bodies and heaping breasts and expansive hips. The explicit sexuality of these figurines invites interpretations relating to earthly and human fertility.
An arresting set of 21 small female figurines, seated in a circle, was found at a pre-Cucuteni village site in northeastern Romania. “It is not difficult to imagine,” said Douglass W. Bailey of San Francisco State University, the Old Europe people “arranging sets of seated figurines into one or several groups of miniature activities, perhaps with the smaller figurines at the feet or even on the laps of the larger, seated ones.”
Others imagined the figurines as the “Council of Goddesses.” In her influential books three decades ago, Marija Gimbutas, an anthropologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, offered these and other so-called Venus figurines as representatives of divinities in cults to a Mother Goddess that reigned in prehistoric Europe.
Although the late Dr. Gimbutas still has an ardent following, many scholars hew to more conservative, nondivine explanations. The power of the objects, Dr. Bailey said, was not in any specific reference to the divine, but in “a shared understanding of group identity.”
As Dr. Bailey wrote in the exhibition catalog, the figurines should perhaps be defined only in terms of their actual appearance: miniature, representational depictions of the human form. He thus “assumed (as is justified by our knowledge of human evolution) that the ability to make, use and understand symbolic objects such as figurines is an ability that is shared by all modern humans and thus is a capability that connects you, me, Neolithic men, women and children, and the Paleolithic painters in caves.”
Or else the “Thinker,” for instance, is the image of you, me, the archaeologists and historians confronted and perplexed by a “lost” culture in southeastern Europe that had quite a go with life back before a single word was written or a wheel turned.
December was a rough month. I'm glad it's over. The day after our cat died, my daughter's mouse died. So we have rats now. :) This is Bebow. Bebow and her friend Teco are both terrified of my camera. I told them they better get used to it! ;0) This photo is decieving as Bebow is the brave one. She just doesn't like cameras... yet. She's also crazy fast, and I'm very nervous about her getting loose before she fully trusts us. I would never be able to catch her! I had rats as a kid, and in recent days I've watched plenty of rats on YouTube. I'm pretty sure Bebow is the fastest rat alive. ;-)
A cute picture my daughter took of Sneakers and Reepicheep the mouse is in the comments. :)

I am pleased to present to you a special project from Randall Craig RTW in collaboration with Robsdolls.
1 Carnaby Street is a prototype fashion that I created for the Randall Craig RTW line. The fabric sold out before I was able to purchase enough for the production run and thus this fashion had to be dropped from the line. Only one of these dresses was ever created. This simple yet fabulously mod fashion was one of my favorites in the collection so I hated for it to go unseen. Fortunately, I was able to team up with Rob Thompson.
This beautiful Kyori was customized by Rob Thompson especially to wear this fashion. She has been rerooted with a blend of platinum and tickled pink saran hair. Her hair is worn in a high ponytail with thick bangs. Kyori’s makeup has also been enhanced with frosty pearl lipstick and eyeshadow.
The name 1 Carnaby Street is taken from the address of a plaque on Carnaby Street honoring fashion entrepreneur John Stephen, who was credited with beginning the mod fashion revolution in London.
Kyori in1 Carnaby Street will be available in the IFDC Live Auction benefitting the Children Affected by Aids Foundation.
