can camera sitting in the window about 2 weeks with Agfa brovira speed RC 2. no effect of drapes like with the fiber based paper.
so in the pinhole cans I'll use just resin coated papers.
from my bedroom looking east
I learned some things:
don't write on the back of the paper
and
watch the tape on the sides. make it smaller maybe?
Dull the envy in me which criticizes and complains life into a thousand ugly bits.
Keep me honest and tender enough to heal, tough enough to be healed of my hypocrisies.
Match my appetite for privilege with the stomach for commitment.
Teach me the great cost of paying attention that, naked to the dazzle of your back as you pass, I may know I am always on holy ground.
Breathe into me the restlessness and courage to make something new, something saving, and something true...
...that I may understand what it is to rejoice.

After enjoying putting the first few rolls through my 35 mm cameras back in 2017, I decided to pick up a medium format beast in the Zenza Bronica GS-1. Of course, the shooting experience was much more deliberate and I got into the habit of taking my tripod with me. This must have been one of the first long exposures I ever shot on film, taken over the valley at nightfall.
Film: Bergger Pancro 400
Camera: Bronica GS-1 and 100 mm lens
Development: Foto Pro
Digitised with a digital camera and contrast adjusted in LR.
Personal projects because they bring you joy, who else has one? Something small? Something large? Anything in particular? For me, it’s photography. There’s always something new to learn. I practice and try new things, regularly. Do you?
For fun I decided to look back at my first film photos from 2017. I remember being pretty chuffed with this abstract shot taken with my first analogue camera, a Rollei xf 35.
Film: Unknown
Camera: Rollei XF 35

I had something different planned for today, but it didn't work out. As plan b, I lit a candles in a bunch of mason jars that I have lying around. I continue to enjoy playing with how to get the right exposure in dim/dark settings. Playing with light these past few days has been fun and challenging.

I've purchased several books using watercolor my preferred medium to learn and practice different techniques hoping I get better one day.
This is from the Trees and Woodlands, Ready to Paint series.
The technique was learning to create a soft blended line and keeping the tops of some of the bushes lit with light using masking fluid. The brand of masking fluid I have is different from the one the artist used so my sunlit tops of the bushes is much harder than what was shown in the book. My masking fluid didn't spread out and diffuse like shown in the book. I loved the way his edges looked so, I'll be looking for that brand of masking fluid to add to my stash. It's a process of trial and errors isn't it. 😀
Am learning to navigate the new Flickr

Have a marvelous day xxx
Thank you for always taking a peek at my images !!
Vladi was shooting with the Hyde Park Photowalk on Sunday.
He was a great guy and I really wanted to pop him close up.
But he'd always react to me gettin' close with the camera.
I must've tried ten times.
It had become the old game of 'cat and mouse.'
Finally I pulled a 'fakie' on him and I laughed about it.
While he was laughing about the 'fakie' I popped him.
Photographers are just as tough as anyone to get close to with a camera.
Sometimes I swear they're tougher...
as if being a photographer gives you 'immunity' from bein' popped.
It was great to meet you Vladi!
OK- how's this one for "normal?" They won't be tomorrow. Apparently, Erin has designs on using these to create edible molecules with the girls and a pile o' cousins. Never too young to learn a little molecular biology, eh? #alwayslearning

Our little town has began to use Triobikes which transports the elderly around the seafront and neighbouring area ~ today, I came across these two triobikes with two learner cyclists ~ the gent in the middle appeared to be teaching the cyclists how they go about cycling and assisting the elderly ~ they were having great fun!!

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all.
Got to spend a few hours on the 241 toll road in California because people think they are driving speed boats in the rain.
Took advantage of the view!
Enhanced from V1.2 with rivers, lakes and roads.
Not that anybody has commented on the others (except Alan - many thanks Alan!), I think its OK to let it slip that its the Lake District (well, part of it). QGis2threejs doesn't seem to like it when I zoom out to the area as a whole. Oh well, I'll just have to learn another way of doing it... #alwayslearning
Have to remember that the data is fairly lo-res, so there may be some errors. The vector data (roads, lakes, rivers) is also from a very small scale map, so won't be perfect either (I see the road between Grasmere and Keswick is actually in Thirlmere... which come to think of it, isn't far from the truth!!!!).
Congratulations Erin!

Congratulations to my wonderful friend and student, Erin, on accomplishing a year of wonderful photographic challenges. Erin came to me in the beginning of 2022 asking to embrace photography. This led to an amazing year of adventures, lessons, laughter, a few tears along the way, and hundreds of amazing images! We spent a lovely celebratory day at Buchart Gardens yesterday - never say never - photographing flowers, gardens, people, dogs, hidden treasures and each other. It was yet another fun day together and I can hardly wait for more. Let’s go!!

Another bathroom mirror self-portrait... taken not long after
the first one (previous photo). And another design project made
out of it!
It's an interesting thing to me as I look back to those very first
days of using the D200. I approached every shot... with the
mindset of a designer. Slowly but surely over these last 4 years,
experience has been teaching me to also take on the mindset
of a photographer. And while there are areas of overlap...
each is also unique, and I've found both to be extremely valuable!
The good experiences... the not-so-good experiences... the
frustrations... the 'Duh!' moments... the happy accidents...
the blahs... and the breakthroughs... all of it cumulatively has
taken me to the point where I am at today. And that journey
continues!
And these days, Photoshop (to whatever degree) is more a choice
I make, rather than the absolute necessity it used to be. I guess
that's progress... right? =)

I ordered the bar-b-cute and the happy campers collage sheets from WildOlive yesterday.
They are perfect for making sign language vocabulary cards. Wahoo!
(Two of my daughters are hearing impaired so our family is always striving to add more sign vocabulary.)
I have plans to make a great game for tomorrow night's game time.
