A little self-awareness goes a really long way.
It’s totally different than self-absorption. I remember times where I directed way too much energy towards trying to craft some sort of image, to come across as a certain way, or to impress the right groups of people. It’s amazing how much time you can spend thinking about yourself without self-awareness.
Self-awareness takes honesty. Knowing your natural strengths, weaknesses, motivations, and tendencies can be such a difference-maker. The more I’ve understood these things about myself, the more I’ve understood the best ways for me to help people, things I should commit to that challenge me, and why the same event might trigger different reactions from me than other people I’m close to.
I’ve learned to embrace my adventurous side, while realizing that the things that grow me more are long term, patience-testing commitments. I’ve learned to appreciate the fact that I’m an inevitable optimist without expecting the same amount of belief from other people.
Everyone has their own path to growth, but it’s so much easier to commit to growth when you know your starting points.

Vitamin D refers to a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for enhancing intestinal absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate and zinc. In humans, the most important compounds in this group are vitamin D3 (also known as cholecalciferol) and vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) Cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol can be ingested from the diet and from supplements. Very few foods contain vitamin D, synthesis of vitamin D (specifically cholecalciferol) in the skin is the major natural sources of the vitamin. Dermal synthesis of vitamin D from cholesterol is dependent on sun exposure (specifically UV-B radiation).

A Fomapan Action 400 black-and-white film to test the effect a the special Foca filter "Dyma" produced in France in the 50's.
The filter is called "Dyma" due to the presence of neodymium in the glass giving an unusual absorption by bands in the visible spectrum. In particulier blue and yellow color ans more absorbed than the rest of the spectrum. The filter existed in two different versions with the coefficient x2.5 or 3.5. Here the 42mm push-on Foca Dyma filter used is a x 3.5.
As a consequence, I exposed the Foma 400 for 80 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. I used my FOCA camera PF2B year 1956 and its normal Oplar lens1:2.8 f=5cm equipped for all the views with the Dyma filter and a Genaco metal shade hood.
Typical settings during the session : 1/100s f/8 to f/11.

After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 6 min.
The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body adapted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III and a Minolta Slide Duplicator using a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at a reproduction ratio of 1:1. The reproduced RAW files obtained were processed in LR prior the the final JPEG editions.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg.
About the camera and the lens:
The Foca type PF2B (PF for "Petit Format") was constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) starting from 1947. It was manufactured in the Chateaudun OPL factory, route de Jallans, France, in 1956 among a late series of the PF2B. The factory, constructed in 1938, is still at the same place under the name of SAFRAN now producing precision devices for aerospace appliances.
The camera is equipped with the collapsible OPLAR lens (a Tessar formula) 1:2.8 f=5cm. The focal shutter of the PF2B has timing of 1/1000, 1/500, 1/200, 1/100, 1/50 and 1/25s plus the B pose. A slow exposure device below 1/25s could be installed by the aftermarket service and was installed basically for the FOCA PF3 and Foca Universel.

My photo walk of July 13, 2023, Lyon, France with my FOCA Universel "R", a French range-finder 35mm camera of the 50's fitted here with the Oplar wide-angle lens 1:3.5 f=3.5cm.
My leading idea was to test the black-and-white Adox film CHS 100 II. Adox is one of the oldest photographic products brand in Germany since 1860. Adox CHS 100 II is a very technical film composed of a mix of two emulsions, one ortho and another panchromatic. The resulting sensitivity profile is then bit particular with a drop around 500 nm between blue and green colors. The emulsion is coated on a clear 100 micron polyester teraphtalate (PET) base with two different anti-halation layer, a black one on the film back and a violet one between the PET base and the emulsion mix. This anti-halation are removed par two pre-soaking water bathes of 2min at the temperature of the processing (20°C).
For the whole film the Oplar lens was equipped with a 42mm push-on Foca DYMA filter which was an exclusive filter produced by the French company Optique & Précision de Levallois. Its amber color is in fact resulting of a complex absorption spectrum with several minima in the visible domain due to the use of neodymium in the filter glass. The blue sky is attenuated and yellow tone are nicely separated.
It exposed the 100 ISO film for 32 ISO to compensate the recommended DYMA filter absorption (coefficient. x3.5) using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The Oplar 35mm lens was equipped with Minolta D42KA cylindrical shade hood.
Since the Foca Universel R has a finder covering the field only of a normal 50mm lens, framing was achieved using the external Foca multi-focal finder that includes miniature lenses on a rotating touret corresponding the 35, 50, 90 and 135 mm fields.
Focusing was done using the body coupled range-finder that is the characteristic of the "Universel" Foca camera's that couple the range finder to any available OPL Foca lenses with the bayonet mount.
Shutter speeds from 1/100s to 1/40s and f/4 to f/8 were used along the session between 2pm and 4PM and a very bright sunlight.

After exposure, the film was revealed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+50 and 20°C for 13 min. The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.

About the camera :
The Foca Universel "R" is the late series (circa 1956-1962) of the Foca Universel 35mm range-finder camera appeared in 1950 and produced until 1956. The Universel model of FOCa was fitted with a bayonet mount instead of the 36mm screw mount of other Foca PF (PF standing for "Petit Format"). Foca camera's were constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) in the OPL factory of Chateaudun (Eure) starting from 1947. This factory still exists under the name of SAFRAN a French company producing aerospace devices and systems. This exemplary of Foca Universel R was likely manufactured in 1959 or 1960.
The camera is normally equipped with the collapsible OPLAREX lens 1:1.9 f=5cm with the OPL bayonet mount and here with an OPLAR 1:3.5 f=3.5cm wide-angle lens.

For this gentle and relaxing photowalk in my district, Lyon, France, I brought along my French TLR SEMFLEX Standard 3.5 camera (see below for details) loaded with a never-tried yet film Svema FOTO 100 made in Ukraine. The backing paper is black with white numbering and signaling symbols are easy to read across the small red window of my SEMFLEX.
For all the frames, my SEMFLEX was equipped with the original SEMFLEX squared shade hood a SEMFLEX yellow filter x2. The film was exposed for 50 ISO to compensate the light absorption of the yellow filter. Metering was done using a Minolta Autometer III equipped with a 10° finder for selective measures privileging the shadow areas or an opale dome for incident light integration.

Parc de la Cerisaie - Villa Gillet ***, May 10, 2025

France
___________
*** ** PARC DE LA CERISAIE, WHOSE NAME COMES FROM THE PRESENCE, OLD, OF A CHERRY ORCHARD ALREADY BELONGS TO THE CITY OF LYON: SINCE 1976.
Previously owned by the Gillet family, precursors of silk dyeing at the beginning of the 20th century, the park and the Villa built in 1911 by the architect Joseph Folléa communicated at the time directly with their factory installed on the banks of the Saône. In the 60s, their vast industrial empire merged with the Rhône-Poulenc group of which Renaud Gillet was president from 1973 to 1979.
Very quickly, the City of Lyon chose to open this park to the people of Lyon and to direct its vocation towards the Arts. Thus, during the 2nd and 3rd sculpture symposiums of 1980 and 1982 the park hosted many works. Some of them are still there.
The villa, renovated in 1986, also became a place dedicated to the Arts. Initially, it was the headquarters of the Fonds Régional d'Art Contemporain (FRAC), the organization supporting creation, before it was transferred to the Institut d'Art Contemporain de Villeurbanne.
Today, the villa houses three cultural institutions: La Villa Gillet, which defines itself as a Contemporary Research Unit and is interested in all forms of culture (literature, human, political and social sciences, history, or contemporary arts), the Agence Rhône-Alpes pour le Livre et la Documentation (ARALD) whose objective is to promote the culture of writing and activities related to books, and the Groupe Musiques Vivantes de Lyon which works for the creation and diffusion of acoustic music.

After the view #12 exposed, the film was fully rolled to the taking spool and was developed in a Paterson tank with a spiral adapted to the 120-format film. 500 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer were prepared at the dilution 1+25 and the film processed for 7 min at 20°C. The first view was shifted by about two frames leading to only 10 views on the film. This is clearly due to a quality problem. The backing paper was improperly positioned during the spooling of the film.
Digitizing of the remaining 10 frames, was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta vertical macro stative device and adapted to a Minolta MD Macro lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel (approx. 4x5') CineStill Cine-lite fitted with film holder "Lobster" to maintain flat the 70mm films.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printed files with frame or the full size JPEG together with some documentary smartphone pictures..
About the camera and lenses :
My French Semflex TLR year 1959-1960 is equipped with triplet 1/3.5 f=75mm SOM Berthiot lenses as descripted bellow.
The SEM company ("Société des Etablissements Modernes de Mécanique") was founded in France by Paul Royet in 1946, in the small city of Aurec near Saint-Etienne (Loire). The SEM camera's was known essentially for the TLR Semflex that were a great commercial success in France until the 70's. The camera's are constructed around an injected aluminum alloy chassis, very resistant and rigid permitting precise optical alignments. The focusing mechanism is made of a cam system like the Rolleiflex giving an accurate and smooth focusing. SEM constructed their own shutters called Orec with 5 leaves capable of the 1/400s to 1s with B.
Semflex received in majority French optics Berthiot with 3 or 4 lenses (Tessar type). Some camera's were also mounted with Angénieux lenses.
Semflex were trusted TLR camera's used by amateurs and for professional purposes. From 1949 to 1976, 171.000 Semflex were produced in many different types and versions.
My Semflex in a middle grade version Standard 3.5 type-10 (1959-1960). It was the last version mounted with the 3-lens SOM Berthiot 1:3.5 f=75mm. I got the camera with set of accessories and several documents including the user manual of the Semflex Standard 4.5 versions. The accessories include a leather SEM ever-ready bag, a Semflex push-on shade hood, a Semflex push-on yellow filter x2 in its original box, and close-focusing lenses. The 1D one is constructed with a prism for the finder lens that compensates the parallax in the zone 1m to 0.5m.
The decorative ring around each lenses can also receive push-on accessories in 36mm diameter as the FOCA or Leitz 36mm filter series. I adapted two protective lens caps from Kodak film canister snapped covers.

Suspended time and absorption are central in our performative work. We perform „engrossed in an activity as if in denial of an audience“. We keep still. We move according to a choreographed path. We keep close to each other, we touch each other, we lie on the floor. From one tableau to the next. Holding the image for few minutes. One of us lies on a wooden plank. The whole leg, buttocks and lower back rest on the plank. Only shoulders and head touch the floor. The second figure is already doing a shoulderstand, bending the left knee and simultaneously stretching and leaning the right leg slightly over the head. The stretched leg remains leaning… The piece is inspired by the long scene in the sculpture garden at the Museum of Modern Art in New York from the film „Shadows“ by John Casavettes; Stills from Bob Fosse’s „All that Jazz“; photos of works by Yvonne Rainer and Rudolph von Laban and Kinesiology, physical therapy exercises.

The absorption of light and colour in search of tone and texture is the pursuit of photography where painting with light often leads us into darkness. These pictures were created as I tested a new camera. When I first got my Canon 550D I thought that it was so light and well fitting in the hand that I could capture any lighting conditions. True there are some leaps and bounds for technology yet to perform to allow my unsteady hands to capture the lowest light conditions in sparkling clarity. I am sure that some of these technological leaps and bounds are occurring even as I type. It makes my hands tremble with anticipation to think of testing the next stable releases of stabilizing cameras with even lower light sensitive sensors.
