♫ This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating
in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today♫

X-Men photo shoot at Dragon Con 2016
Have you ever lost files? I've done it once or twice, it always sucks. this was one of about 35 images that I thought I lost. My friend Scott and I stumbled on this place before one of our Packard expeditions., had a lot of rusted out beauties.
Me as Cyclops from the X-Men
My latest obsession is my Cyclops frame. It uses Medium Azure as the main accent color.

Artículo LA BIODIVERSIDAD OCULTA
Los copépodos son crustáceos cíclopes y aunque su gran ojo frontal no es capaz de formar imágenes, con él pueden percibir el halo luminoso de la luz del sol y dirigirse hacia él para encontrar su alimento.
La mayor parte de los copépodos son animales marinos y tan solo unas 130 especies habitan en el agua dulce como formas de vida libre donde viven en extensiones reducidas y poco profundas. Es frecuente en estos pequeños animales encontrar vivas coloraciones rojizas, anaranjadas o incluso azuladas, se trata de gotas de grasa que ayudan a los copépodos a flotar.
El cuerpo de los copépodos está dividido en tres porciones y suelen llamar la atención sus grandes antenas extendidas que además de órganos sensoriales son también un importante aparato locomotor.
Los copépodos presentan una amplia variedad de piezas bucales adaptadas a su régimen de alimentación que va desde formas parásitas succionadoras a herbívoras masticadoras. En el tórax se sitúan las patas, cinco pares con función locomotora y en los machos el último par especializado en la cópula.
En muchos copépodos falta el corazón y esta función es realizada por el intestino mediante movimientos peristálticos que ponen en circulación a todo el líquido sanguíneo.
Los huevos que ponen las hembras cuando pasan desde el oviducto al agua se endurecen con una secreción que los mantiene unidos formando unos sacos muy característicos y son fecundados en la puesta pues los espermatozoides son guardados por las hembras en un receptáculo seminal hasta este momento
El ciclo vital de los copépodos es complicado, de cada huevo sale una larva Nauplius que se desarrolla en seis fases para dejar paso a otros seis periodos de desarrollo en forma de copepodito (un copépodo en miniatura como el que está presente en la parte inferior de la imagen ).
El copépodo de hoy, posiblemente Cyclops, se ha colocado de perfil, vemos así sus patas con las que se abanica absorbiendo el oxígeno que contiene y su ojo de rubí destacando en ese fondo negro de la oscuridad
El copépoodo de hoy, como el ciliado de ayer, procede de un pequeño remanso de agua del precioso hayedo riojano de Tobía.
La fotografía mostrada hoy, se ha realizado en las muestras de agua traídas de un pequeño arroyo que discurre entre hayas y avellanos y ha sido tomada a 100 aumentos empleando la técnica de campo oscuro.

☁ la nube negra de una justicia pervertida en nuestro país, movida por la envidia y la venganza, permanecerá aquí, hasta que soplen los vientos limpios que todos necesitamos. La Justicia es uno de los cimientos necesarios para la Paz. Desde aquí todo nuestro apoyo al Juez Baltasar Garzón -el buen Juez de Saramago- y a las personas de buena voluntad como él que trabajan por la Justicia.
"The Cyclops" is from the show "Bestiarum Vocabulum" with Rick Kitagawa. The show has over 20 different mythical beasts, all with their own story...check it out this month at Big Umbrella Studios.

We took a series of shot way back in the spring involving this large magnifying glass!
There were some really funny ones of The boys and their Dad.....
....but this one made me a little un-easy, at first I couldn't put my finger on it, then as I was going through my archives the other day I spotted this one again.
It made me think of the cyclops, you know the mythical, man eating one of Greek mythology. We'll I wondered where all these myths originate from, was the cyclops once upon a time, a normal, albeit very tall, one eye man. Did he lose this eye through an accident, or was he born with this deformity. If it was the latter, you can imagine he would have been hounded and persecuted for looking different.
I'm rambling here, to get back on track, this shot made me think about deformities, and how people react to them. We all look and stare, when we see some one who is different, some people may do this discreetly, some may do it openly, some laugh or point, make jokes or shout out obscenities.
What ever we look like, we are all human, and like to be treated with respect and compassion. It makes me so sad to see people staring at someone who is different, or ushering their children away, because they think this person may do them harm.
I got very angry one day when speaking to a person who had a fourteen year old daughter, who was a little intimidated by someone with learning difficulties in a shop (they were just talking a little louder than usual & gesticulating wildly), This person in question, gave the opinion that anyone with learning difficulties, or deformities shouldn't be let out in public, as it was too worrying for the general public, and her children shouldn't have to see these things! I went ballistic, it made me hopping mad, I couldn't believe that, she held these opinions, let alone voiced them, and thought them acceptable.
I think in this day and age, what with the media bombardment we have daily through the medium of advertising & TV. We are engulfed with images of the perfect face, the perfect body, all attainable at a price, we are in danger of becoming clones because it is becoming unacceptable to be different.
Why should we be identical, the human race, is unique, we are unique, each and everyone of us, and we should celebrate that fact.........
I built this a few months ago and never posted a pic of it. Made to be a lightweight quick to use, carry around with the possibility of hand holding.
Built from 3mm ply. No view finder or ground glass but both can be added if needed.
I use what I call “predictive composition” The brass pin heads show me the centre of the image and the rest is imagination, it is really fast and surprisingly accurate.
Focusing is by screw thread, which drives a couple of levers to pull or push the lens box. The 90mm Angulon only needs to move about 5mm from infinity to 2 metres so a printed scale (on the other side) is easily good enough.
There is a level bubble and a small clock set into the top. The clock is for three things; it tells me the time, I use it to time long exposures especially with paper negs and if I am developing while out “in the field” I know I always have timer with me.
Now I have seen how much fun it is to use I fancy a folding bellows version but that is a lot of work that I am not sure I have time for.
