Some leaks start slowly with each rain, tapping tentatively with single drops before becoming steady as the sky continues to encourage them. But not the leak in my rental house! The torrential rains this evening in Atlanta resulted, for ten or twenty minutes, in not the slightest reminder that there is a leak in its roof; then, suddenly, its composure gave way and twenty minutes' worth of water poured on to the hallway floor.
Persephone came to investigate the music and the bright dance of the splashing water, and when leaning in to look into the puddle was surprised by the inconvenience of having the back of her head suddenly wet! Her expression in this photograph completes the story.
A frozen collection of drips from the boiler output guard formed this icicle just over 25cm long this afternoon.

First attempt at capturing water dripping from the tap. Took me three shots to get it. The first shot i missed the drop completely, the second shot the drip was just forming on the tap. Third time lucky.
Dropped various different things into milk in different containers including coins, pebbles, drips from a spoon and malk lid, pasta and blackcurrant squash.

Farmers use drip irrigation as a means of water conservation and cost savings.
I chose this photo for my first free choice because of the somber mood of the photo and its overall editing quality in photoshop. I used techniques such as simple framing in front of a white background and Double exposure between two photos. First I had taken the original photo in front of a contrasting background so that it would be easy to edit myself out of it in photoshop. Then I had separated myself from the original image and applied another photo of a pool of water on top of it. The overall effect of the image was accomplished by changing the exposures and contrasts to make the image work.
You know what would be really useful?

Shooting blind with the camera at ground level so I never got the focus right, but it's still kinda fun.
The Postcard
A Comic Series postcard published in the mid-1960's by Bamforth & Co. Ltd. of Holmfirth Yorkshire.
The artwork was by Fitzpatrick and the card, which has a divided back, was printed in England.
Bamforth & Co. (1870-1990)
James Bamforth began his career as a manufacturer of lantern slides. In 1890 he started production of illustrated song lyric slides that audiences could sing along to at shows. This quickly became his most popular selling item. In the years following, the Company became the largest producer of life model slides.
From this vast photo inventory Bamforth began to publish a variety of postcard types including comics, greetings, propaganda, real photos and views, but especially song sets, many of which were reproduced from lantern slide images.
Today they are best remembered for their series of saucy seaside postcards, which may have numbered close to a 100,000 different titles. While this series was begun in 1902, they did not become very popular until the 1930’s.
In 1906 Bamforth opened a New York Office at 35 West 21st. Street. By 1910 they had become a Limited company. The Company was sold to E. T. W. Dennis, but in 2000 the rights to their images were purchased by Ian Walker.
