Active Assignment Weekly Feb. 11 - 18: The Colour of Beauty
WIT: This is my jewelry tree, upon which hangs only a small fraction of my earrings. In order to hang all my earrings up, I would need a jewelry forest, I'm afraid! I set it on one of my favourite scarves, as I was going for an "antique" colour palette. The light came from the window, which reflected well on the white branches of the tree, since there wasn't that much light coming in, as you can see by the darker background. In post, adjusted the colours just a little, and cropped to 8 by 10.
Assignment 52 -- Home Town Tourist Attractions -- World War I Memorial, in Scoville Park, Oak Park, IL, a few blocks south of the Hemingway Birthplace
When this monument was dedicated, in 1925, Hemingway was already in Paris, living the cafe expatriate life, married to his first wife Hadley Richardson, and working on his first novel, The Sun Also Rises, published the following year.
But his war experiences shaped much of his fiction and also his world view. He was hardly out of high school, when he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front in World War I. After he was severely wounded, he returned to Oak Park to recuperate. And decades later, during the Spanish Civil War and World War II, he worked as a journalist in combat zones.
Here are a few of the things he had to say about war:
--World War I was the most colossal, murderous, mismanaged butchery that had ever taken place on earth. Any writer who said otherwise lied. So the writers either wrote propaganda, or shut up, or fought.
--Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.
--No catalogue of horrors ever kept man from war. Before the war, you always think that it's not you who will die... In modern war, there is nothing sweet or fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.

Active Assignment Weekly
For this week's assignment you need to"Frame" your subject with something natural or staged...But..Not with Photoshop or one of those other funky programs.
Restriction: No imported frame.
Dare:Take the assignment literally.
Well I headed out to work on this assignment but my dogs were not cooperating. So I figured I'd make the pups model for me another day and try to combine the weekly and monthly assignments together.
I wanted it to look as though it was a picture hanging up and the glass being broken and liquefying.
WIT: I rotated it 90 degrees in Picasa and adjusted the lighting.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Active Assignment Weekly Challenge - From the Hip
The challenge involved taking photos with your camera at your hip instead of in front of your face. I took this on my way to work as I was walking through a pedestrian crossing. It's not a photo that I would have normally taken, and I would never have considered creating the tilt - I suppose that's part of the value of this kind of challenge.
The first assignment I've received this year in my industrial location class was the architecture assignment.
Basically, we had to go out and find a building that had a majority of the windows lit and photograph it.
Interesting mini story:
Right after I finished photographing this, I fell knee deep into a sewer in downtown Toronto.
All in all, this was a good experience.

I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 to edit my photos for this assignment. I do have some simple editing techniques with editing, but this assignment I went with what I could do best for the photo and just did simple editing to enhance the photos life with color. I just came back from Kauai about 3 days ago, and this was a beautiful water fall that I took a picture of. I felt the photo was too bright, didn't show enough of the blue sky and green that flourished in the plants. I messed and adjusted with the exposure, brightness, temperature, highlights, sharpness, and shadows. I feel bringing the highlights up more made the blue sky pop. The saturation made the color brighter with the sky and greenery. The sharpness helped show the formation of the trees better. The meaning of the photo is to sit back and relax and take in the green atmosphere.

For today's DailyShoot assignment: Make a photograph today that features the use of low contrast to create a mood or feeling.
One gull was chasing the other all around the lake on this day. Playful? I don't think so. The first gull has some food in its beek that the second one wants for its own.
This photo wasn't taken today, but my camera is still in for repairs, so I am relying on some earlier shots.
Diocese of Phoenix ordains first auxiliary bishop
By Andrew Junker | July 20, 2010 | The Catholic Sun
AVONDALE — Eduardo Alanís Nevares was ordained a bishop July 19 during a three-hour long Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas Parish. He will assist Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted and serve the Diocese of Phoenix as its first auxiliary bishop.
“I come with great faith and great trust,” Bishop Nevares said after the Mass. “I’m going to go around preaching the Gospel to everyone.”
The day was historic for the diocese not only because Bishop Nevares is its first auxiliary bishop, but also because he is its first Hispanic bishop. In light of the recent immigration law SB 1070, many have seen the bishop’s appointment as heaven-sent — a fact he alluded to after Mass.
Describing himself as a “bridge person” who can draw people together, Bishop Nevares said the timing of his new assignment is something “providential.”
“I will help Bishop Olmsted,”Bishop Nevares said. “He has asked especially that I animate the Hispanic community and raise up men and women to the priesthood and religious life.”
At the same time, the newly ordained bishop stressed that he will not just be a bishop for Hispanic Catholics.
“He’s here to serve everybody,” said Jose Robles, director of Hispanic Ministry for the diocese.
During the Mass, Bishop Nevares was greeted by a number of different local ethnic groups, including Chinese, Korean, Sudanese, Tongan, Native American and more.
“I must admit that now I know I am not in Tyler,” the bishop joked about his previous diocese in east Texas after the procession ended. “I’ve never been greeted by so many beautiful ethnic groups.”
During his homily, Bishop Olmsted encouraged his new auxiliary to view his office as one of service, not of prestige.
“It is our privilege and our duty to serve and not to be served, to put others’ needs ahead of our own, and to resist all temptations to lord it over anyone,” Bishop Olmsted said.
“This is the example that the Lord Jesus left for us, when he washed the feet of the Apostles, and then said to them, ‘What I just did was to give you an example: as I have done, so you must do,’” he said.
Bishop Olmsted also emphasized the need for a bishop to live without fear, and quoted the famous Polish Cardinal Wyszynski who said, “Lack of courage in a bishop is the beginning of a disaster.”
“It is our honor and privilege, as well as our first obligation, to make known the Gospel of Christ in all its purity and integrity,” he said.
After the homily, Bishop Nevares knelt before Bishop Olmsted while two deacons held the Book of Gospels over his head. Bishop Olmsted then anointed Bishop Nevares’ forehead with oil. Finally, more than 20 visiting bishops — including Cardinal Roger Mahoney of Los Angeles — laid their hands on the new bishop’s head and prayed for him.
At one part during the Mass, the soon to be ordained bishop lay prostrate in front of the altar while the congregation chanted the Litany of Saints, an emotional and profound moment for him.
“God, here’s my life. It’s for you,” Bishop Nevares described his thoughts during the liturgy.
A number of priests, friends and family from Texas attended the ordination. Bishop Olmsted credited the Nevares family a number of times during Mass for supporting Bishop Nevares’ vocation. He said he looked forward to their future visits to the Valley.
“Nuestra casa es su casa,” the bishop said.
Bishop Nevares’ parents were Mexican immigrants who came to the United States while he was in the womb. Born and raised in Houston, the 11-year-old future bishop was inspired by a visiting missionary who talked of his work in Madagascar.
As a teenager, he attended a junior seminary for the Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette, into whose order he was ordained a priest in 1981. In 2007, he was incardinated into the Diocese of Tyler, where he had been serving for years.
Known for his outreach to Hispanics, Bishop Nevares formed the area’s first Spanish-speaking program to train men to be permanent deacons.
It’s this reputation that has excited so many local Hispanics since learning of his appointment in Phoenix.
“We have someone like ourselves in this position. We can identify with him,” said Manuel Torres Caballero, a parishioner at St. Martin de Porres. “We feel that also with our Bishop Olmsted, because he speaks Spanish, but with Bishop Nevares, we get something else. I don’t know how to describe it.”
Caballero said it’s a difficult and fraught time for Hispanics locally and Bishop Nevares’ ordination provides some joy and hope.
“We feel hope in a difficult time, joy and happiness,” he said. “We feel supported."

For my next Photoshop project, we have to create a narrative/theme in a series of 4-6 images. I wanted to use this assignment as an excuse to expand my levitation series. Typically, I make the person floating very apparent through a wide depth of field. With this project, I wanted to go in the polar opposite direction and make the floating person appear part of daily life -- make it ordinary. I wanted to cram the images with people/things in order for you to be overwhelmed by what you were processing and just haphazardly find someone whose feet weren't touching the ground. True, some images are more successful than others, but I feel like this project has made me exercise other options for my levitating theme.

Today I took the camera into Sleaford and visited the National Centre for Craft & Design, formerly known as The Hub.
There is a sign in the entrance which says:'This building was formerly a seed warehouse. It still is'.
They have a wide range of exhibitions that change regularly throughout the year as well as a shop and coffee shop.
They were setting up a new exhibition, in the main gallery - a 2-storey space - which I must go to see when it's finished. It's called Plexus No 10: Materialising the structure of light by Gabriel Dawe.

There is a B&W version here:

and several other shots of the building in my Assignment 2 set here:
Strobist: desk lamp camera left, sb-28, snooted and gelled with a 1/2 CTO - camera right, above and behind subject.
IMO, it's not quite controlled enough for the assignment, but what the hey...
Didn't realize I was shooting at ISO 640 until I had taken down the setup, which accounts for the noise.
Assignment 52 -- Home Town Tourist Attractions -- The Write Inn & Hemmingway's Bistro, Oak Park, IL
Hemingway wrote: "Never go on trips with anyone you do not love," which seems like good advice, if traveling to Oak Park, or anywhere else.
I don't know what he thought about puns, or intentional misspellings, or if he would have wanted to try a flirtini martini. But I know what he wrote about oysters and about wine, so I'm sure he'd at least appreciate Hemmingway's wine list and oyster bar:
-- As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture...I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.
--Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.
And I think he must have had an appreciation of comfortable hotels also, as shown in this lovely passage:
--That night at the hotel, in our room with the long empty hall outside and our shoes outside the door, a thick carpet on the floor of the room, outside the windows the rain falling and in the room light and pleasant and cheerful, then the light out and it exciting with smooth sheets and the bed comfortable, feeling that we had come home, feeling no longer alone,waking in the night to find the other one there, and not gone away, all other things were unreal.

Summertime E.P. by The Drums
Photo shoot we had for our advertising assignment.
The advertisement is to promote Marc Jacob's perfume, Lola.
The ropes were cutting my wrists like so many knives, but all I could think about was that damn bat, coming down on me relentlessly like the rain that had been pounding the city for what seemed like years. I had to find a way out...
Strobist info: 530EXII on-camera, pointed at ceiling at 1/4ish to illuminate the doorframe a bit, 430EX at 1/8ish on a boom with a lamp cord inside the room.
