Luke Gitchel and Jim Hurst chatting with each other and a bunch of other guitarists during yesterday's workshop at the Charlotte Bluegrass Festival, This morning will feature similar workshops featuring banjo and mandolin.
Luke's band, the Journeymen, will kick off today's festival session at noon and the music will continue far into the evening with five bands doing two sets apiece, including Little Roy & Lizzy and Volume Five. Festival seating's under the pavilion at the Eaton County Fairgrounds in Charlotte, so we can (mostly) hide from the weather.
this is just a little part of a work that is originally about 6meters long and 17cm high.
i did it for a course, where we had the lection to do a self-portrayal just showing our articles of daily use.

An After Study of Lens Compression
This may sound a little strange, but when I’m out shooting with my family, I’m a shoot first, think about it later kind of photographer. What I mean by that is, I don’t always have the time to take into account my composition and all the other technical aspects of photography when I’m setting up my shots, due to bored and tired children (and wife). This is true with an image that I posted a few days ago. We were in the Cades Cove area of the Smoky Mountains a few weeks ago and I noticed a single dogwood that seemed to pop out from the rest of the background. So I took a shot of it using my zoom lens with a focal length of 175mm.
When I got home and started processing my shots from that trip, I noticed how this one particular shot seemed to be a little “flat”, in that everything seemed to have been smooshed together. But, seeing the one dogwood against the “flat” full background of green trees, really made the shot stand out. It was then that I realized that the lens had created a compression effect.
What is Lens Compression?
In the past I had heard of “lens compression” but it was never really explained to me.
Lens Compression is what happens when you take a picture with a longer lens. It is the perceived phenomenon that a lens with a longer focal length appears to decrease the depth perspective. The longer lens compresses the foreground and the background making things appear closer than they really are.
Experiment Time
Today I asked my kids to help me out with a little demonstration. I asked them to stand about 20 feet apart with my daughter in the foreground and my son in the background. Using my zoom lens I took two images. One at 200mm and the other at 55mm. Because of the lens compression, the first image at 200mm makes the children look like they are very close together. The second image at 55mm shows them spread apart. My son looks further away and smaller in the second shot compared to the first. For all there shots of my children in this post, they are standing at the same distance apart. I had to take each image at a different distance from my daughter.
200mm
Shot taken with a focal length of 200mm. In this shot, my two kids look relatively close together.
55mm
This image was taken at 55mm. I had to move closer to my foreground subject, but you can see there is more distance between my two kids.
This shot was taken very close to my daughter with a focal length of 12mm. This created the effect of separation between my two kids. My daughter was done at this point.
Added Bonus – 12mm
To add to this demo, I decided to use my wide-angle lens to show how they would look with the same distance apart, but at a focal length of 12mm. At this point my daughter was ready to move on and go play, but you can clearly see that the wide-angle lens really highlights the foreground and creates further distance between the foreground and the background.

From the onset the questions about the nature of humanity has always been a thing that comes from the mind of human beings as a group.
Talking about the traits of human characters; humane qualities and the aspect of our life.
What long-standing aspiration do you have? What Vision, ideas, or dreams do you today? What do you constantly imagine yourself doing? Meaning that is your motivation for doing it for positive or selfish interest?
What do you imagine yourself becoming? What do you likely or really desire to do that you may not have told anybody about it. That is, it may be something you think about a lot while you’re awake or at your work place and may be wishing to do something else for humanity instead of your current job.

Articles regarding the closure and redevelopment of the school. The campus was originally envisioned as becoming an Research & Development Park. Valley Christian also wanted to buy part of the campus, leaving only 14 acres of the almost 34 Acre site for something else. Apparently from what my barber told me, a large shopping center was also considered for the site.
Either way, most of the school was torn down and replaced, today a shopping center (on the site where the school building were) housing (on the school's athletic fields and a community center (using the school's gym and one of the old wing buildings)
The sixth page of a series of articles and advertisements on the grand opening of the Vallco Fashion Park shopping mall in Cupertino, CA, taken from the September 1, 1976 issue of the San Jose Mercury News.
The mall opened to the public on September 1, 1976 at 6:00 PM, featuring a 75-minute performance by the San Jose Symphony Orchestra, a 900-pound cake replica of the mall capable of feeding 4,000 attendees, meet-and-greet event for children with Winnie the Pooh, and the presentation of an American flag flown over the Capitol building in Washington, DC, to the mall's general manager.
The mall was expanded in 1988 to include lower-level shops following increased competition from nearby Valley Fair, though its tenancy declined throughout the '90s. By 2015, only a small fraction of businesses remained despite revitalization efforts in the 2000s, including the addition of a moderately-successful AMC movie theater. Sand Hill Properties purchased the mall in 2014 with plans to demolish it and build a mixed-use "downtown-style" shopping and living area. Vallco's three anchor tenants - Sears, Macy's, and JCPenney - closed in 2015 and 2016, leaving only the theater, bowling alley, ice rink, and a seafood restaurant in place. The mall is expected to be closed later in 2016 as demolition and renovations begin, 40 years after it first opened.
Priority Modes
On most modern DSLR you will find a dial with a bunch of pictures and letters that represent several different things. That is the Mode dial, and contains the priority modes. Looking at that dial, you may find something similar to “P”, “A”, “S”, “M” along with little pictures for some of the more used “Scene Modes“. Those letter stand for:
Image by andrewXu
P — Program Mode
A — Aperture Priority Mode
S — Shutter Priority Mode
M — Manual Mode
Besides Manual Mode, all the other modes are sometimes called semi-manual (or semi-automatic) modes. They are also known as Priority Modes and give you some control over your settings, but also ensure you have a properly exposed image, by letting the camera make some of the decisions.
Program Mode
I’m not going to touch much on Program Mode, but since it’s on the dial, I feel that I need to at least mention it. Program mode gives you the least amount of creative control. In this mode, the camera calculates both the shutter speed and aperture, based on an already select ISO value.
Aperture Priority Mode
Starting with Aperture Mode, you will start to see that you have more creative control over your exposures. With Aperture Priority Mode, you will have manual control over the Aperture value, and shutter speed will be calculated by your camera. As with all the modes, these settings are based on the value you set for your ISO, or you may have ISO also set to Auto.
I have written an article on Aperture before, but as a quick summary, aperture controls the amount of light that hits the sensor at any given shutter speed. Adjusting the Aperture gives you the ability to control the depth of field of your image. One use of depth of field allows you the ability to have an out of focus foreground and background, with the middle of your image in focus, usually seen in portrait shots. The lower the aperture value, the more open (more light enters) your lens will be. The higher the number, the smaller (less light) the opening in your lens will be.
Shutter Priority Mode
As with Aperture Priority Mode, Shutter Priority Mode allows you more creative control over your images. Shutter Priority Mode gives you the control over the amount of time that the shutter is actually open. While in this mode, your aperture will be calculated by your camera. With this use of this mode, you will lose control over the depth of field in your images, but you will have the ability to create motion within your image.
Shutter speed is a topic that I have touched on before during my series on the Exposure Triangle, but in summary, it controls the amount of time the shutter is open. That value can range from between 1/4000 of a second up to 30 seconds. Most cameras have a “Bulb” mode that will allow you to have complete manual control over shutter speed and is typically used if the shutter needs to stay open for more than 30 seconds. Shutter speed can freeze the frame of a rushing waterfall or create a gentle flowing effect of the same waterfall.
Manual Mode
Manual Mode gives you the greatest creative control of your exposures. I’m not going to go into much detail of this mode since, it relies on all the components of basic camera settings. In order to create a properly exposed image, you will need to take into account the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO settings, these are the three parts of the Exposure Triangle, something that I have written about before.

DR JOHN W. BRAKE
Another one of the old-fashioned country doctors, now almost a vanished profession in an area that has passed, is gone., He is Dr. John W. Brake of nearby Dickson County.
The 93-year-old retired doctor died Tuesday in retirement. He had practiced medicine for half a century.
For many years Dr. Brake was a beloved and familiar figure on horseback with his saddle bags, responding to the call of the sick. He delivered thousands of babies, representing two generations.
It is said that he never mailed a bill for his services. He kept his records in a small book and when a patient paid he marked it paid. Needless to say his services were free in innumerable cases.
In this age of specialization general practioners are becoming fewer. But the so-called country doctor who maintains his office in some community and responds to the calls of neighboors is almost gone, even as the horse and saddlebags of another era have vanished.
DR JOHN W. BRAKE DIES IN CLARKSVILLE
Dr. John W.. Brake, 92, Dickson County’s oldest physician, died Tuesday afternoon in a Clarksville nursing home, having been in failing health for sometime.
Funeral services were set today at 2:30 pm at the Woods Valley Methodist Church and burial will be in the Stayden family cemetery in the Woods Valley community. Dickson Funeral Home in charge.
Dr Brake was born in Davidson county, a son of the late George and Mary Stokes [sic? Stark?] Brake. He came to Dickson county when a young man and practiced medicine in the Woods Valley community until he retired a few years ago. He was a member of the Methodist Church.
Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Ray Abernathy and Mrs. S.F. Wade, both of Clarksville, Mrs Gilbert Freeman, Dickson; three sons, Barney and Glen Brake, both of Cumberland Furnance, John Brake, Dickson; 16 grandchildren, a number of great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.
==========
Dr. Brake Reviews Interesting Events As Rural Doctor
With national magazine writers predicting the "passing of the country doctor," in several leading publications of the nation and with a great amount of interest having been attached to the colorful career of the average "practitioner," who administered to the sick of the community in the past, the Leaf-Chronicle presents the article below which tells of a part of the activities of one of the CIarksville Area's most outstanding country doctors. He has carried on a continuous practice of medicine for more than a half a century. This man is Dr. J. W. Brake, who resides in the Woodvalley Community of Dickson County, and who needs no introduction to hundreds of people within a 75 radius of his home.
Born in Davidson County in August, 1865, Dr. Brake received his education mostly in the schools of that county. Receiving his medical diploma from Vanderbilt in the spring of 1885, he moved Dickson County, where he started out in 1888 on his career in medicine, possessed with a horse and "saddle bags." inside the saddle bags were medicines, instruments, and other paraphernalia which could be used to relieve the sick people of the community as prescriptions and drug stores were almost unknown to the rural people in those days. He was to become one of the most prominent physicians of the area, and enjoy the respect and admiration of hundreds of people in four counties. Since doctors were few and far apart in the latter part of the 19th century, the "practice area" often reached out for 40 to 50 miles from his home.
Rode For 30 Years
"For 30 years," Dr. Brake says, he carried on his practice "in the saddle," purchasing his first automobile in 1917. However, due to conditions of rural roads, the automobile was not used but very little for calling on patients, many of whom resided far from the main roads, their home been accessible only on horseback or by buggy. The doctor says he never used a buggy much in going to see patients, for it always seemed "bundlesome," and then in case of dark nights or times when creeks had to be crossed, he could make it better on horseback, as the horse could swim the creek, and "keep the medicine dry."
He owned several fine horses during the 30 years of "horseback practice," but he says there was one in particular which left a memory which time could not erase. This horse was known far and wide as "Henry," and the doctor declared that, "that horse had more sense than some people." Illustrating what he meant by the remark, Dr. Brake said that Henry had a very peculiar characteristic in that he couldn't "stand hitched." The doctor always left the reins unsnapped from the bits. henry would just "make himself at home" while his master attended the sick, and if there was food on the place, "Henry would find it," and be ready to speed away to the next call when the physician came out of the house and called "H-e-n-r-y." Seldom did he have to call more than one time before Henry was right there ready to go. However, on one occasion, the doctor explained, when he had ridden over to the county seat to pay his taxes, and turned the horse loose as usual, several farmers were in town for the same purpose and seeing the horse "running loose," hitched him to a tree or hitching post. No sooner had they left him, Henry reared back and broke the reins, then another fellow happened along and "hitched that loose horse" again. This kept up for some time. Well, when the doctor got through with business and looked for Henry, he was minus a set of reins, had helped himself to hay and other feedstuffs left in wagons, but was ready to bring his master home at his call. Needless to say, the horse was attached to the doctor, and the affection was mutual, for Henry lived to a ripe old age of 32 years and six months, and was buried in a grave "like somebody, " when his career ended.
None Like Henry
Although the doctor owned several horses, he said he never learned to trust the others in the dark dangerous places as much as he trusted "Henry." One night when he was out in the "ore banks" near Cumberland Furnace, and it was so dark he could not see his hand held up in front of him, he got off a horse and was walking in front leading the animal, when he slipped into an ore hole. Not knowing how close he had come to some deep ore banks, when traveling would be extremely dangerous, the doctor spent the remainder of the night there.
After purchasing a large farm in Dickson County and having started on his career, Dr. Brake married Miss Beatrice Geurin, in April, 1889, and a large family was reared, the couple having celebrated their "golden wedding anniversary" some two years ago. Mrs. Brake, who was a true companion to her husband for more than 50 years of his life, passed away in June, 1939. Their first child, a daughter, died when nine years of age, and a son, Duncan Brake, is also deceased. The family now consists of four daughters, Mrs. Zolty Edwards of Cumberland Gap; Mrs. A.B.Harvey of Cumberland Furnace; Mrs. Gilbert Freeman, and Mrs Scott Wade of Clarksvllle; and three sons, Barney and Glen of Cumberland Furnace, and John Brake of Dickson; several grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
Many Experiences
Dr Brake says he had had many varied experiences during his 52 years of medicine, but probably the one he remembers as being the most sensational happed "way back in the pre-war days" during a serious epidemic of typhoid fever. As this was before the day of modern inoculations which have served to almost stamp out the disease, each season, the country experienced many cases of the fever, known then by most people as "slow fever" which carried a high mortality rate. One particular family, the doctor says, sent word to him to come and see them, and when he arrived he found that the entire family of seven were afflicted with the "slow fever" and were in bad condition. "For several days, the doctor declared, "I just didn't know which way one of them was going to die first," and meditating a moment, he smiled and added, "but they all got well."
It was about this time the doctor said, while many people in the community were taking the fever, that he came home late one night, feeling "pretty rotten." After retiring, the terrible thought dawned on him that he must have "taken it." Carefully taking out his thermometer he took his own temperature and found he had more than three degrees of fever. and lay for some time trying to ponder what course he would follow in treating himself, and preventing members of the family from taking the fever. After probably two hours serious thought on the matter, he again reached for his thermometer, and this time he remembered to "jar the mercury down," which revealed that this little item had been forgotten when he took his temperature before, and instead of having a temperature, he was just tired.
One of Dr. Brake's hobbies and a sport which he enjoyed probably more than any other is hunting deer. He has made several trips to Arkansas to indulge in the favorite pastime. A fine set of antlers which used to hang in the hall, bore mute testimony of the doctor's marksmanship. He was a member of the old Clarksville Hunting Club. He has also traveled considerably, having visited Florida, and the Rio Grande valley, as well as making many trips to various parts of the state, and adjoining states.
In addition to carrying on an extensive medical practice, maintaining his own stock of medicines, and successfully operating one of the finest farms in Dickson County, the doctor has also been active in community activities. He joined and took an active part in building the Methodist Church near his home, and has been active in the church affairs, leading a consecrated Christian life in the community. He has also been a member of the Masonic Lodge at Cumberland Furnace for 50 years and will be honored with a 50-year membership dinner in the near future.
Although he is now approaching his 75th birthday, and has rounded out over half a century in rural medicine, the doctor continues to carry on his practice, and with the exception of the usual winter colds, enjoys good health.

Following the articles on todays news regarding our potholed roads, I thought this would be of interest. Beside the site of Atherton Depot, the road is falling into amazing disrepair and is covered in granite chips presumably dislodged by passing traffic. How does the driver of First 69524 avoid this lot and look after his neck and back? A few minutes at this location witnessed flying granite chips, hazardous to bystanders and other road users too, and several drivers swerve or alter course to avoid the hazardous yet not uncommon road surface.

These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external hard drive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.
Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... Thanks in advance!
