2018 Project 52: Week 20 - Connection/Relationship
I wanted to take a different approach to this week's Project 52 theme. There are so many fairly obvious ways to treat the subject, but I yearned for something different.
My muse came up with this idea as I was walking around a thrift store looking for still life props. I spotted a bin of generic silverware and these two caught my eye... the only two that weren't the standard stainless steel. A connection!
Fifty cents later, they were headed home with me.
Pretty happy with the outcome!
Create a photograph that illustrations connection.
Hands are not yet the same size so holding hands is hard but we're getting there with a speed of 24 hrs/day!
First idea of a "connection" was two connected carts of a freight train. But after trying too long to get a decent photo of that I gave up and focused on the most important connection. The unbroken chain that built this somewhat broken civilisation.
A collaborative work with Sylvie Peraud. All the pieces are independant. Just a clic and you can modify all the jewelry pieces.

The wire, this great enemy of the photographer. In how many photos of landscapes I must to erase those ugly overhead wires that crossed them fromf end to end! And in towns, looking for impossible frames to avoid the wire handfuls that go from a house to another one crossing the square in front of the church. Luck we have of the digital photography, that facilitates the work to us to eliminate the annoying.
And then in the old walls of the old houses, those frightful coupling boxes from which they leave wires in all directions. I say that could disguise them a little more.
But the limit is when they try to put the wire in a house and perforate in the showiest part of the facade, in a voussoir of the arc of the fore door, like in the photo of above. Was no another better place by where to enter the wire? And this one is not the only perforated door arc of this town.
In Spanish, the word that it defines the connection with a network of provision like electricity, water or gas is “acometida”, that are past participle of the verb “acometer”. By chance this verb also means “to attack” or “to assault”. It will have something to do with it?
“Madam, I come to mount the attack of the telephone” would have to say the technical installer. Because mainly the worse attacks are those of the telephone. You prepare with all the care of the world the place by where they will connect you to the telephone network, and soon arrive the installer and make pass the cable where he feel like it, and if you insist on which it pass through where you want, or you pay or he refuse in round. That I say who in the case of the photo, had been easier to perforate the wood of the frame of a window that not a stone of at least 30cm. of thickness.
Anyway, thank heavens that is proliferating the wireless connections. Now lack to see how it feels to the body as much electromagnetic radiation floating in the air...

CASTELLANO
El cable, este gran enemigo del fotógrafo. ¡En cuántas fotos de paisajes he tenido que borrar esos feos cables aéreos que las cruzaban de punta a punta! Y en pueblos, buscando encuadres imposibles para evitar los manojos de cables que van de una casa a otra cruzando la plaza por delante de la iglesia. Suerte tenemos de la fotografía digital, que nos facilita la labor de eliminar lo molesto.
Y luego en las paredes de las casas viejas, esas espantosas cajas de conexión de las que parten cables en todas direcciones. Digo yo que podrían disimularlos un poco más.
Pero el colmo es cuando pretenden meter el cable en una casa y perforan en la parte más vistosa de la fachada, en una dovela del arco de la puerta principal, como en la foto de arriba. ¿No había otro sitio mejor por donde entrar el cable? Y no es éste el único arco de puerta perforado de este pueblo.
En español, la palabra que define la conexión con una red de suministro como electricidad, agua o gas es "acometida", que es participio pasado del verbo "acometer". Casualmente este verbo también significa "atacar" o "agredir". ¿Tendrá algo que ver?
"Señora, que vengo a hacerle el ataque del teléfono" tendría que decir el técnico instalador. Porque mayoritariamente las peores acometidas son las del teléfono. Tú preparas con todo el cuidado del mundo el lugar por donde te conectarán a la red telefónica, y luego llega el instalador y hace pasar el cable donde a él más le conviene, y si te empeñas en que pase por donde tú quieres, o pagas o se niega en redondo. Que digo yo que en el caso de la foto, hubiera sido más fácil perforar la madera del marco de una ventana que no una piedra de al menos 30cm. de grosor.
En fin, menos mal que van proliferando las conexiones inalámbricas. Ahora falta por ver cómo le sienta al cuerpo tanta radiación electromagnética flotando en el aire...
a good friend is a connection to life- a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world. Lois Wyse

Squeaky clean, Amtrak Turboliner 58 sits at the road's Brighton Park facility in Chicago in early 1975. The French built RTG Turbo sets first appeared on the scene in 1973. Amtrak borrowed a pair of trainsets from builder ANF to test. The trains were seen as a breath of fresh air when compared to the aging equipment then in service. Both leased sets were bought along with four others sets in 1975. The sets were in service until 1981 when they were set aside due to rising maintenance costs. Three of the sets were rebuilt and reentered service in 1988, only to be retired again in 1994.

50018 Resolution begins to accelerate away from the Axminster stop on 1st July 1991 with the 16:22 Exeter to Waterloo service, which the Southern National Bristol LH, 3310 (AFJ 730T) in the foreground, working Service 31 to Bridport had been awaiting. Passengers who made the connection would have quite a characterful journey with first the Class 50 and then the Bristol LH, both being quite an audio experience, this bus type also having quite a unique ride. As an additional connection there is also a red phone box, mobiles hadn't quite made it at this date iirc.

I needed a change in scenery this weekend, so took the dogs for a little drive to town for our walk and we parked at the Folsom Powerhouse. As we came up from the trail, I noticed the Powerhouse was actually open, so we strolled over to take a peek inside the building as I had never been in it before. Even though I had my 3 dogs with me, the State Parks volunteer docent told me to come in and bring the dogs. He was the nicest gentleman and gave me a private tour of the Powerhouse and explained how it all worked.
The knobs and connectors you see here are part of the original Powerhouse that provided electricity for the surrounding area from 1895 to the 1950s.
From Wikipedia: A diversion canal took water from the American River to four 8-foot-tall (2.4 m), 750-kilowatt generators that were manufactured by the General Electric Company via four 8-foot-diameter (2.4 m) penstocks. Only two of the four generators were operating on July 13, 1895 when the powerhouse provided the first electricity to Sacramento via 22 miles (35 km) of transmission lines, making it the first place in the United States to transmit long-distance hydroelectric power. On September 9, 1895 the new power provided by the powerhouse resulted in a "Grand Electric Carnival" celebration by decorating the state capital with thousands of light bulbs.

We are all different but yet we are all the same . We are all fragile but yet we are all strong . Our life is a mystery games .

Photograph made the last day this horse, Doc, was alive. The owner knew she had to put him down the next day. Poor horse had cancer in one eye. After surgically removing that eye he was fine for six years and then developed cancer in his remaining eye, so he would be blind.
I hope the print shows just how much she loved her horse.
This 14x14" silver gelatin print will be delivered to the owner on the three year anniversary of Doc's passing.
I had to scan the print in four pieces and stitch them together, so it might look a bit uneven.

My connection is your connection,
The sun that I love, dear, is turning inside.
Falling is under the things that I wonder,
The light that I bring, dear, is bringing its sight.
