I was not prepared for the impact the tower would have on me. For somone who studied structural engineering, and who has an avid interest in Art, it is for me a majestic symbol of the optimism of the nineteenth century for the approaching twentieth century.
From Wikipedia:
"Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in Paris. More than 200,000,000 people have visited the tower since its construction in 1889, including 6,719,200 in 2006, making it the most visited paid monument in the world. Including the 24 m (79 ft) antenna, the structure is 325 m (1,063 ft) high (since 2000), which is equivalent to about 81 levels in a conventional building.
When the tower was completed in 1889 it was the world's tallest tower — a title it retained until 1930 when New York City's Chrysler Building (319 m — 1,047 ft tall) was completed. The tower is now the fifth-tallest structure in France and the tallest structure in Paris, with the second-tallest being the Tour Montparnasse (210 m — 689 ft), although that will soon be surpassed by Tour AXA (225.11 m — 738.36 ft).
The metal structure of the Eiffel Tower weighs 7,300 tonnes while the entire structure including non-metal components is approximately 10,000 tonnes. Depending on the ambient temperature, the top of the tower may shift away from the sun by up to 18 cm (7 in) because of thermal expansion of the metal on the side facing the sun. The tower also sways 6–7 cm (2–3 in) in the wind. As demonstration of the economy of design, if the 7300 tonnes of the metal structure were melted down it would fill the 125 meter square base to a depth of only 6 cm (2.36 in), assuming a density of the metal to be 7.8 tonnes per cubic meter. The tower has a mass less than the mass of the air contained in a cylinder of the same dimensions, that is 324 meters high and 88.3 meters in radius. The weight of the tower is 10,100 tonnes compared to 10,265 tonnes of air.
The first and second levels are accessible by stairways and lifts. A ticket booth at the south tower base sells tickets to access the stairs which begin at that location. At the first platform the stairs continue up from the east tower and the third level summit is only accessible by lift. From the first or second platform the stairs are open for anyone to ascend or descend regardless of whether they have purchased a lift ticket or stair ticket. The actual count of stairs includes 9 steps to the ticket booth at the base, 328 steps to the first level, 340 steps to the second level and 18 steps to the lift platform on the second level. When exiting the lift at the third level there are 15 more steps to ascend to the upper observation platform. The step count is printed periodically on the side of the stairs to give an indication of progress of ascent. The majority of the ascent allows for an unhindered view of the area directly beneath and around the tower although some short stretches of the stairway are enclosed.
Maintenance of the tower includes applying 50 to 60 tonnes of paint every seven years to protect it from rust. In order to maintain a uniform appearance to an observer on the ground, three separate colors of paint are used on the tower, with the darkest on the bottom and the lightest at the top. On occasion the colour of the paint is changed; the tower is currently painted a shade of brownish-grey.
The structure was built between 1887 and 1889 as the entrance arch for the Exposition Universelle, a World's Fair marking the centennial celebration of the French Revolution. Eiffel originally planned to build the tower in Barcelona, for the Universal Exposition of 1888, but those responsible at the Barcelona city hall thought it was a strange and expensive construction, which did not fit into the design of the city. After the refusal of the Consistory of Barcelona, Eiffel submitted his draft to those responsible for the Universal Exhibition in Paris, where he would build his tower a year later, in 1889. The tower was inaugurated on 31 March 1889, and opened on 6 May. Three hundred workers joined together 18,038 pieces of puddled iron (a very pure form of structural iron), using two and a half million rivets, in a structural design by Maurice Koechlin. The risk of accident was great, for unlike modern skyscrapers the tower is an open frame without any intermediate floors except the two platforms. However, because Eiffel took safety precautions, including the use of movable stagings, guard-rails and screens, only one man died.
The tower was met with much criticism from the public when it was built, with many calling it an eyesore. Newspapers of the day were filled with angry letters from the arts community of Paris. One is quoted extensively in William Watson's US Government Printing Office publication of 1892 Paris Universal Exposition: Civil Engineering, Public Works, and Architecture. “And during twenty years we shall see, stretching over the entire city, still thrilling with the genius of so many centuries, we shall see stretching out like a black blot the odious shadow of the odious column built up of riveted iron plates.” Signers of this letter included Messonier, Gounod, Garnier, Gerome, Bougeureau, and Dumas.
Novelist Guy de Maupassant — who claimed to hate the tower — supposedly ate lunch in the Tower's restaurant every day. When asked why, he answered that it was the one place in Paris where one could not see the structure. Today, the Tower is widely considered to be a striking piece of structural art.
One of the great Hollywood movie clichés is that the view from a Parisian window always includes the tower. In reality, since zoning restrictions limit the height of most buildings in Paris to 7 stories, only a very few of the taller buildings have a clear view of the tower.
Eiffel had a permit for the tower to stand for 20 years, meaning it would have had to be dismantled in 1909, when its ownership would revert to the City of Paris. The City had planned to tear it down (part of the original contest rules for designing a tower was that it could be easily demolished) but as the tower proved valuable for communication purposes, it was allowed to remain after the expiration of the permit. The military used it to dispatch Parisian taxis to the front line during the First Battle of the Marne, and it therefore became a victory statue of that battle.
Shape of the tower
Looking up at the Eiffel Tower.At the time the tower was built many people were shocked by its daring shape. Eiffel was criticised for the design and accused of trying to create something artistic, or inartistic according to the viewer, without regard to engineering. Eiffel and his engineers, as renowned bridge builders however, understood the importance of wind forces and knew that if they were going to build the tallest structure in the world they had to be certain it would withstand the wind. In an interview reported in the newspaper Le Temps, Eiffel said:
“ Now to what phenomenon did I give primary concern in designing the Tower? It was wind resistance. Well then! I hold that the curvature of the monument's four outer edges, which is as mathematical calculation dictated it should be (...) will give a great impression of strength and beauty, for it will reveal to the eyes of the observer the boldness of the design as a whole. ”
—translated from the French newspaper Le Temps of 14 February 1887.
The shape of the tower was therefore determined by mathematical calculation involving wind resistance. Several theories of this mathematical calculation have been proposed over the years, the most recent is a nonlinear integral differential equation based on counterbalancing the wind pressure on any point on the tower with the tension between the construction elements at that point. That shape is exponential. A careful plot of the tower curvature however, reveals two different exponentials, the lower section having a stronger resistance to wind forces.

The Dog was well past his expiration date and extremely ripe.
I broke out the fish-eye lens because *R* (Doggy Daycare Guy) made a special request. He wants a picture of Moto chewing on a toy bone using this lens for his website.
Once the Dog is dry, we'll begin his photo shoot. I just hope I can get something....as you know, this dog isn't used to being in front of the camera *snort*
Well, I missed posting anything during the month of February (although I did take this pic then).
~ Molly helped me glue the eyes on the eggs. It made her happy enough to do her homework.
My apologies for being so absent. Life's been crazy, I've been busy, the heart medication I'm taking makes me drowsy...so I haven't really felt inspired to pick up the camera.
Until Molly and I found the eggs...
Today was a special day here - for the city of Washington, DC in general, for several newlywed couples and for me.
The district became one of a handful of jurisdictions in which same-sex marriages could be performed and would be legally recognized. The mayor actually signed the law late last year, but District laws don't take effect until the expiration of an arcane waiting period during which Congress has the right to keep the council-approved or VOTER-approved (this one was the former) proposed-law of the books.
That period expired at the beginning of this month. Last week same-sex couples started applying for marriage licenses. Today was the first day those licenses could be picked up. Several couples went immediately from receiving their licenses to standing before officiants (clergy and civil), family and friends and getting married.
Less than two blocks from me, the city's first same-sex marriage performed in a house of worship took place. I took both humble cameras, a notebook and even put on a tie in the hopes of talking my way in as a blogger/freelancer in order to be part of the media witnessing the ceremony along with invited guests and church members. After meeting with the media relations coordinator for the day, I did not get in. She explained, and I understood, that this was a private ceremony where only credentialed media were welcomed. (On a day when no one knew how those against same-sex marriages would demonstrate their opposition, there was no place for an ex-reporter actually having a good day in his life and smelling a story he could either freelance or blog about - once he had a blog set up - to fit in. She didn't say anything like that, of course.)
This was a big day in this city. It is an even BIGGER day for many couples, many in longterm relationships, many with families started. That's how the bottom line for this day - which surprisingly saw NO demonstrations even - reads.
But in a minuscule sidebar on some back page somewhere, there is a story in smaller type about a guy whose instincts are still in place, who dematerialized from most scenes a long time ago, and who therefore isn't a real credentialed person.
But he soon will be.......
So today is a day for HUGE celebrations for those who fought for this for so long. And a small bit of mourning in one corner.
The ex-Barney Oldfield, Eddie Maier 1908 BENZ 75/105HP PRINZ-HEINRICH Raceabout in a pointillist setting. I know this isn't for everyone, but I had fun anyway. Dappled light can be very colorful.
Karl Benz is credited with the creation of the first practical (and salable) car in 1886 and it had....
........drum roll........a 2/3 hp engine! He also designed the first practical bus, and also the first truck. Not bad and Benz continued through the war, until, under the pressure of the post war depression in Germany, joined with Daimler in 1926 to form Mercedes Benz.
Benz recognized the value of racing and speed records in advertising, and both the 'Blitzen Benz' of 1909 with it's outrageous 200 hp, and this 1908 Raceabout ended up in the US with Barney Oldfield's barnstorming team showing them off all over the US.
Hans Nibel and Georg Diehl at Benz in Germany conceived the idea of a sports car a little before the idea for the T-head Mercer Raceabout came into the fertile mind of Finlay Robertson Porter and the Roebling family in New Jersey. Its impetus was the Prince Heinrich Tour, a multi-day reliability trial through Germany, Hungary and Austria first staged by Hubert von Herkomer in 1907. Crown Prince Heinrich himself participated in the first Herkomer Tour in a Benz and in 1908 contributed its winning trophy (a 13.5kg silver automobile) and his name to the event.
Racing was in decline in Europe with the Gordon Bennett Cup retired by the French and the stamina and resources of automobile manufacturers were strained by the expense of building racing specials, retaining drivers and funding teams of cars, mechanicians and spares to contest only two or three events a year. The idea of a reliability trial that demonstrated the automobile's reliability and practicality, along with a few timed events to highlight performance was attractive.This very Benz was featured, and then sent to New York, where it was sold to Oldfield and his team.
Berna Eli "Barney" Oldfield was "The Speed King of the World" through much of the last century's first decades. A successful bicycle racer, he quickly transitioned to automobile racing. With his trademark cigar between clenched teeth, he took command of Henry Ford's "999" racer, the Winton "Bullet" and the Peerless "Green Dragon". A showman of consummate flamboyance, he nevertheless was also a driver of skill, daring and calculated strategy. Backed by his manager Bill Pickens, Oldfield barnstormed across America drawing crowds for whom any automobile was exotic, let alone one clocked at over 100 mph, a speed that many thought would result in the expiration of the human spirit – except for a superhuman like Barney Oldfield.
Oldfield would drive it between events and it was fully equipped with road equipment including fenders and lighting which were removed before the hippodromes. It is pictured in several period photos on track and in promotional appearances with sponsors.
Paris, França
A Torre Eiffel (em francês Tour Eiffel) é uma torre de ferro construída no Campo de Marte ao lado do Rio Sena em Paris. A torre tornou-se um ícone mundial da França é uma das mais conhecidas estruturas do mundo.
Inaugurada em 31 de Março de 1889, a Torre Eiffel foi construída para honrar o centenário da Revolução Francesa. O Governo da França planejou uma Exposição mundial e anunciou uma competição de design arquitetônico para um monumento que seria construído no Champ-de Mars, no centro de Paris. Mais de cem designs foram submetidos ao concurso. O comitê do Centenário escolheu o plano de Gustave Eiffel de uma torre com uma estrutura metálica que se tornaria, então, a estrutura mais alta do mundo construída pelo homem. Com seus 317 metros de altura, possuía 7300 toneladas quando foi construída, sendo que atualmente deva passar das 10000, já que são abrigados restaurantes, museus, lojas, entre muitas outras estruturas que não possuía na época de sua construção. Eiffel, um notável construtor de pontes era um mestre nas construções de metais e tinha sido o desenhista da armação da Estátua da Liberdade, que tinha sido erguida recentemente no porto de Nova Iorque. Quando o contrato de vinte anos do terreno da Exposição mundial (de 1889) expirou, em 1909, a Torre Eiffel quase que foi demolida, mas o seu valor como uma antena de transmissão de Rádio a salvou. Os últimos vinte metros desta magnífica torre correspondem a antena de rádio que foi adicionada posteriormente. Recebe o nome de seu projetista, o engenheiro Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923).
A torre é visitada anualmente por 6,9 milhões de pessoas.

Recent fisticuffs over someone plonking their tripod in the water right in front of everyone else apparently have led the local Council to look at ways of maintaining order at Llyn Padarn's not so lonely "Lone Tree". Growing numbers of togs are increasingly marking out their 'plot' earlier and earlier, like fans putting up tents to sleep outside Apple stores to get the lastest iPhone. Togs are resorting to sleeping as close as possible to this location in camper vans, in order to be first in line. Unfortunately there was trouble in the early hours one night recently when someone travelling from Germany found a Southerner already bedded down on the bench at the waterside by the tree. Regulars will note that the lower left branch has been broken.
The Council have discussed a permit scheme whereby togs book a slot (£ 8.00 admin fee) at a marked position. I believe only five 'pitches' marked by numbered plates set in the ground, will be available at any one time. Pitch No.3. directly in front of the tree is priced at £ 16.00 per time slot.
Unfortunately slots will be enforced rigorously to prevent rufty tufty behaviour, and if the light comes good just on the expiration of your booked period you will politely be asked to pack up and move on without hanging on a bit longer. There are plenty more people who would like to get a shot once you have moved out of the way.
The Council proposes to take funds from permits sold to invest in significant pruning of the tree and the installation of seasonal lights and baubles.
My shot, to follow soon. Still working on cloning six togs out of it.

Stefania Iurilli, here during a break while deciding with me the evaluations for the students after an examination. Stefania actually is attending the Ph.D. in our Faculty, for me she has been a student, an assistent, a collegue, a friend. She is capable to work as much as me, maybe even more the only problem is that sometimes people in the Faculty don't understand she is a professor and not a student...
Original shots taken with a Polaroid Vision (Captiva) on an expired filmpack 500 (use before september 2005).
The Faculty at work. A little portraits collection of people trying to give their real contribution to studends, some of them with little precious efforts, other with their whole day, small or big their work may be successful or not, but they will keep on trying, often with no other rewards then their own pride.
This is only the first part of the series, other people portrait next...
You could draw a circle around the elements of the past in this scene; an old barn, silo and car. All are past their expiration dates. As age catches up with us after a busy, productive life, it can be difficult to let go and turn the responsibilities of life over to young ones.
Expired film, no Lightroom processing, except to crop and add watermark: just an image that needs no tweaking...in my opinion.
I've said it before, I love the quality of film and its unpredictability, in a good way.
Still, not bad for film that's nearly 20 years past its expiration date. A pure gamble on my part but I like taking chances on film.
Enjoy!

I freaked out when I went to the B&H and Adorama websites to order some Neopan400 120 film to find out that it was out of stock for the USA version and discontinued for the foreign version. I left several panic messages in several film groups. So I ordered 100 rolls. This is the most I've ordered at one time. Expiration is 1/2011. I think I should be covered... what do you think? Did I over react?
Film: KODAK 200 COLOR PLUS (36) [expired on 01/2006]
Scanner: FUJI PHOTO FILM FRONTIER355/375-2.0-0E-343
Thanks FOTO-PLUS d.o.o. for being patient with the new-fangled film photo enthusiast.
Did not write down the aperture data which I regret.
Nor the date taken is fully correct (+/- 1 day).
Photo was taken while on the 'spiritual exercises' at the beautiful sanctuary of the Saint Maria Crocifissa di Rosa in Kamen, Split.
Due to the expiration date of the film, it was exciting to see the green tint on all of the photos. Nevertheless, color balance had been done to counter the green tint, but not way to much so that original mood is preserved.
Edit: However, in this photo, the great alteration of colors was done, especially with the color of the non-red team jerseys. They were in some blue-ish color but I thought this looks way cooler and cleaner. It maybe helped to get closer to what I wanted from that photo. And that is to isolate all but the red jersey guy. With only one shot available with analog camera, I am very satisfied. One of the photos that I like most from this series.
If you find years-old pills in a drawer somewhere, don't take them. Check the expiration date to make sure it's not yours.
Beaten and breathless,
Therein, expiration has been acquired,
Ugly and obtrusive,
Therein, i've lived and loved these liars,
Blistered and unforgiving,
Therein, a broken intrusion.
Here's a shot from the Fuji G617 last weekend in the Columbia River Gorge. It had been over two years since I'd run a roll of film through the Fuji and it felt good to get it back out after so long. The film I used had also been sitting in my freezer for a couple years past the expiration date, so I'm glad it came out well.
This is one instance where I really wish I had a wider lens on that thing. While I like this shot, I really wanted to move closer to the waterfall and still get more of the stream in the foreground, but since it's a fixed 105mm lens, I couldn't move any closer and still get the whole waterfall in. I did, however, move a bit closer and get a digital pano that came out really well and was just what I envisioned.
Big thanks to Justin, Terence, Aaron, and Lance for showing me around.

Film: Agfa XRG 100, expired 1993
Developed by flash foto, München
Das ist wieder ein Versuch mit einem abgelaufenen Film, den man mir geschenkt hat. Ein XRG 100, der sich 27 Jahre nach seinem Verfallsdatum erstaunlich gut schlägt. Ich habe ihn allerding zwei Blenden überbelichtet, was ihm sehr gut getan hat. Ich musste ihn in Lightroom kaum nachbearbeiten
Another test with an expired film somebody gave me. This time an Agfa XRG 100, performing pretty well 27 years after its expiration date. I overexposed it two stops and did not have to do a lot of post production work in Lightroom. Amazing!
