A vintage Sharp PC-1210 pocket computer on my desk. This is claimed to be the first pocket computers ever developed. Made in 1980 it caused quite a stir as a computer that could fit in your pocket. I of course wanted one when it was released, but being a child it was only a distant dream back then.

 

I have a collection of these fabulous machines now and this was the most recent one I added. I took this photo sometime early last year using a camera that was older than the device, with a film that expired in 2005. It then took me more than a year to finish and process the film. How's that for a time twisting plot?

A Revenant agent of death charged with hunting down his own murderer, the serial killer known as the Specter.

 

After going on a year of no actual content I'm happy to say I'm back. Started back with something relatively simple, also known as my Self-MOC. He comes with a few bonus features this time, like a scarf, peacock tail, and oversized bat ears.

 

Special thanks to EMMsixteenA4, Ventum, and Zach for helping me pull the final touches together. Check them out if you haven't.

Slow Business Day: Banco, Madison County, Virginia

Updating my take on a location I last visited a year ago, this is the west atrium inside the 35-storey CityPoint Building on Ropemaker Street. I would have used any excuse to revisit the location because it's such a beautiful example of geometric urban architecture, but my aim when reshooting this look-up was to capture a wider, sharper, brighter and slightly more balanced finish.

 

The image is a blend of seven exposures, allowing for a very clean finish in the shadows while controlling the highlights at the top of the atrium. Using luminosity masks combined with dodging and burning, I was also able to emphasise the structure of the building and the reflections in its glass. Finally, I desaturated the warmer colours within the windows (where, even at dusk on a quiet Sunday, there were people working), and created a gradient map to add a slightly cooler tone within the shadows.

The second law of thermodynamics states, "Heat cannot spontaneously flow from a colder location to a hotter location." In other words, there is a constant decay and disorganization that happens in nature from order to disorder in attempt to equalize energy across the system. Entropy is the measure of this disorganization as observed here with this fence. Originally a part of the 1952 movie Shane, it has since been moving from a state of orgization to a state of dissaray.

Built for SHIPtember 2022.

 

This one was a bit of a speed run, with building and photography all taking place within the span of 4 hours (including lunch!) on the last day of September.

 

It was an interesting experience, especially for my first SHIPtember. I'll probably actually allocate more time to it next year. That, or speedrunning SHIPtember might just become my thing. We'll see.

Thank you for Exploring!

Another day, another alley. I continue to be amazed at the amount of interesting photographic opportunities I've found in alleys. Lately, I've been having a couch smorgasbord. This one was so perfectly positioned in front of the fence which echoed the stripes and color of the fabric. Then the foliage adds a great counterpoint. And finally, the bit of exposed innards on the arm rest really adds an element of surprise in both color and entropy.

Giraffes are generally found in groups. The associations of members of these groups tends to be rather loose and ever changing. Mothers and their young tend to be the most stable members of any particular group, however, other members may change as hours go by. Like many animals of the Serengeti, giraffes also follow the adage that there is safety in numbers. They simply don't form many of the same strong social bonds as many other animals in Africa, like elephants or lions. So life as a giraffe may be one big social party and breeding is fairly polygamous. ‪#‎iLoveNature‬ ‪#‎iLoveWildlfie‬ ‪#‎WildlifePhotography‬ in ‪#‎Tanzania‬ ‪#‎Nature‬ in ‪#‎Africa‬ ‪#‎Seregeti‬ ‪#‎Giraffes‬ ‪#‎MassaiGiraffes‬ ‪#‎DrDADBooks‬ ‪#‎Canon‬ ‪#‎WildlifeConservation‬

Thank you all so much for your nice comments and faves! It means a lot to me.

An image of existential expression, showing life's brief inherent isolation and its inevitable evaporation into its component parts. Islands of individuality, clinging insubstantially to a surface reality that is tenuous at best before falling both metaphorically and in reality, to nothingness.

 

Or a picture of raindrops beading on a car bonnet. The choice is yours.
