i talked with kevin (stranger #9) for so long that i could write a book about him. kevin is originally from connecticut but has been all over the world. he has lived in new york, baltimore, california, thailand, and germany. he is back in baltimore (fells point) staying in a friend's row house for free.
kevin is a sculptor but has never considered that his career. he sculpts human figures using a variety of materials including animal skulls. he finishes each sculpture with bronze. kevin has sold some of his art work but usually gives them to friends or trades them for things that he needs.
kevin spent most of his adult years working at harbors, and later he worked at a facility for juvenile delinquents. his first wife was a well known artist in california and she was a spokesperson for the national organization for women. he didn't speak of any other relationships but did tell me that he has two sons. his first son is a teacher at an art school in baltimore and his youngest is a hippie in brooklyn.
i developed a closer relationship with kevin than my previous strangers. he invited me in his home to see his sculptures and we sat out on the stoop looking at pictures of his trips to thailand. it was wonderful listening to his stories. i hope to meet him again:)

Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost; a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.
So long ago
Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me
Kobe, Japan.
Nein, hat nichts mit 2001 zu tun.
Die Installation "11 Scheiben" von Gerhard Richter aus dem Jahr 2003 steht im Eingangsbereich der Ausstellung "Neue Bilder" im Kölner Museum Ludwig. Auf diesem Foto sind aber nur 9 der 11 Scheiben zu sehen.
Just for the hell of it, I picked up yet another Jupiter 9 from an Ebay seller in the Ukraine. These Soviet-era lenses can be dated by their serial number. This was was manufactured before I was born (serial # 58xxxxxx) and there is something special about shooting with a lens from that pre-JFK era.
It was accompanied by its standard "bakelite" case. This baby will join my existing black Jupiter 9 from 1977-era.
The Jupiter 9 is a challenging lens to use ... at f/2 (the only place to use it), depth of field is very narrow, and contract is reduced as compared to a modern lens. But the sharpness is there.
A click in Photoshop and the contrast returns, but that is not what you really want for portraits (which is what this lens was designed for). My muse suggested that I do a shoot of Russian models in Thailand with this Soviet lens, so that is my project for November.
Today is dress-like-a-librarian day!

Rachel and i just wanted to go for a shoot before our sydney workshop and well - these are some results
This is in my opinion the best car shot I have ever taken. Thanks for my friend Mido for taking the time to let me take photos of his beautiful Mazda CX-9.
I used a polarizer filter to control how I wanted the shine and reflections on the car to look, in Car Photography, a polarizer filter is a must. I use a B+W polarizer filter and it's great.
I wanted this to be really special as an HDR project, so after the usual HDR work in Photomatix, this was pushed to the limits (or at least my limits) in Photoshop CS2.
I separated the CX-9 from the background by using the magnetic lasso tool and copying the selection into a new layer, I did the same for the license plate, front low bumper, tires and wheels. You could easily lose track unless you make sure to rename each and every new layer you create.
Cutting out the car from the background makes editing the car levels, colors, shadows and highlights a whole lot easier, since you will only be affecting the car and not the background, the same also goes for the background when it's turn to work on it and edit it. Since this is already an HDR I didn't really want to hold back in Photoshop. I do believe the car ads and car photos you see in catalogs or magazines are worked on in a similar (but of course much better) way.
I'm still new at Photoshop editing and some of the drawbacks can be seen on this photo. But I'm pretty satisfied with the result for my current level. Improvements are sure to come. =)
