The teeth of a man-size Kent's comb, with post-processing aimed to give it a filmic quality
G B Kent & Sons Ltd, manufacturers of brushes since the eighteenth century is one of the oldest established companies in Great Britain. Kent Brushes (as they are now more commonly known) was founded in 1777 by William Kent in the reign of George III. Kent holds a pre-eminent place in the history of brush making, with an unbroken record of excellence in the quality of its production which has been recognised by the granting of Royal Warrants for nine reigns.
The Kent family continued to run the company for six generations until 1932 when the last of the three Kent brothers passed away. This is when Mr Eric L.H Cosby, owner of Cosby Brushes Ltd, entered into an association with G.B Kent & Sons, and since that time the company has been under the creative and dynamic direction of the Cosby family.

Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

Comb jellies are beautiful, oval-shaped animals with eight rows of tiny comb-like plates that they beat to move themselves through the water. As they swim, the comb rows diffract light to produce a shimmering, rainbow effect. Voracious predators on other jellies, some can expand their stomachs to hold prey nearly half their own size.

Did you know? In Japan the Comb-over is called shichi-san or kyu-ichi which means "7-3" or "9-1" respectively, referring to the proportion of scalp coverage.

Ricoh FF-90
Agfaphoto APX 100 (shot @ ASA 80)
(Rodinal 1:50 10 min @ 20C)
Very happy that I got my FF-90 working properly again with a small trick that I found online. It may as well be among the best three P&S cameras I've used optically, as well as ergonomically. Rodinal goes very well with APX 100, great sharpness, contrast and just the right amount of grain, much better than the T-Max I used so far.

The colors are wonky on this, but you can see basically how it came out. I like it. (Done with a big-toothed comb dragged across wet paint.)

Interesting little water birds which spend their entire life on water, even nesting on the lily leaves. Their large toes enable them to spread their weight and walk across the leaves and they also fly for short distances when necessary. There is a large population of them in Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory where this photograph was taken.
This stylist cockily sticks the comb into her own hair, much like a pencil behind the ear, for when she needs to use it.
Out of reach and destined for failure.
About honeybee swarms.
Usually when the parent colony emits a reproductive swarm, the bees will gather together en masse on a nearby tree branch and remain in a cluster for a day or so while the scout bees fly out in search of a new home site. Occasionally, instead of moving on to a more suitable location the colony will commence comb building. Unfortunately these open air nests rarely survive.
