I decided to have a go at playing with displacement maps in Photoshop for today's Daily Shoot assignment:
Craft a photo using strong contrast between very light and very dark areas.
The picture I saw in my head had my face and hands standing out against the brick, but it wasn't working so I went with black and white to contrast the brick against the mortar.
Three shot composite (empty wall, me against the wall, walking figure) primarily processed in Photoshop.

Sophia Al-Maria: Taraxos
“ * - Every asterisk a star. Every star a clock. Every clock a chime. Every chime a warning. Waking a cell, then a seed, then the germ of a weed getting ready to flower. – Sophia Al-Maria
Sophia Al-Maria considers the dandelion an emblem of freedom and resistance, as each seed has the potential to become an agent of resilience and change. Inspired by the life cycle and geometry of the dandelion (taraxacum officinale), the sculpture taraxos is a model for understanding and listening to the world.
Taraxos is a meditative place for anyone to slow down time for themselves. Visitors can sit beneath and stand amongst a constellation of 12 metal achenes, which take the form of futuristic dandelion ‘seeds’, and listen to the sculpture. Activated by the wind, the sculpture can also be played by touching the stems which are covered in copper, a material selected for its antimicrobial qualities.
At the top of each achene the asterisk* appears as shorthand symbolising a dandelion seed’s bracts, below it is inscribed into the ground in reference to the navigational tool of a meteorological wind rose. The punctuation mark of the asterisk* is a motif in Al-Maria’s work which emerged from her screenwriting practice in which the asterisk indicates rewriting and revision. The central node of taraxos is a piece of reclaimed titanium from an airplane. This durable yet light material, ideal for air and space travel mirrors that of the seemingly fragile airborne dandelion seed.
The Serpentine x Modern Forms Sculpture Commission focuses on Serpentine’s immediate environment as a space for artists to engage with the landscape of the park.
Sophia Al-Maria was selected for this new public sculpture commission by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, Melissa Blanchflower, Curator, Exhibitions and Public Art, Serpentine and Nick Hackworth, Director, Modern Forms.”

After gathering information, I started the renovation of the actual hen house...... , spiderwebs, dust and dirt and chickenpoo... lots and lots of broken glass pieces... old rotten buildingmaterial, like wood pieces!! and old broken glass windows, had to be removed. The top of the laying nest could not be opened anymore due to the tree, which has grown bigger over the past years. Doors could not be opened or if open could not be closed anymore, missing or rotten parts everywhere in the henhouse. This morning I didn't know where to start ....... now it looks like this ......
It will be a "safe" hen house again!! And I am longing for that day....... to just sit and watch my hens .... I would love to own some "Sussex" hens ....don't know where to buy them yet .......
When I started the transition of the garden in february 2011 I had no idea I would be doing the renovation of the hen house already in april....... the original "sort of" plan was renovation of the hen house next year .......

Taken from a particularly narrow stretch of Via Vacchereccia. Facing east-southeastward toward the front of the Palazzo Vecchio. The copy of Michelangelo's David in the Piazza della Signoria is partially visible at lower right.
It goes without saying that it took years of photographic experimentation and intense self-evaluation to craft this masterpiece of color, form, and composition. And if you believe that one . . .
Actually, this photo was probably one of those touristic "I think it will look really great from this angle!" shots that one later regrets wasting film on. But now, so many years later, no matter. Every image conveys some information.
Having already shown the Palazzo Vecchio as it's seen from the Santa Maria del Fiore lantern, I here offer a modest and murky slice of its facade as well as its famous bell tower. The exterior is rock-faced ashlar of the Pietraforte Sandstone.
While you can't discern it on this grainy transfer of an aged slide, the lower portions of the mixed-use buildings in the foreground are fronted with the Pietraforte, too. That fact does become apparent, however, if you take a look on Google Earth Street View.
I wish I had acquired a hand specimen of this ruggedly beautiful and tremendously historic rock type when I was in Tuscany. On the Palazzo exterior it presents a irregular-checkerboard pattern of buff and medium-brown blocks. That fact is dimly perceptible here.
Whatever its coloration, all of the Pietraforte originated as turbidites—submarine-avalanche sand deposits laid down late in the Cretaceous period, about 150 Ma ago.
You'll find the other photos and descriptions of this series in my Architectural Geology of Florence album.
A ceiling tile. I shot this from the dentist chair today. Under anesthesia, it was very interesting.
