expired Kodak Portra 160, pushed two stops

Inspired by the movie 'Wings of desire' and its remake 'City of angels', I wanted to do this project for a long time. I even started it some time ago as self-portraits wearing long, leather, black jacket:

But this time, I thought I would do something different. I think the use of the traditional, red, Chinese dress was more for the visual reasons in the beginning. Then I started to think what I wanted to show in this project. And the word 'nostalgia' came to my mind in a natural way - the use of an old camera, expired films, dress from another era, showing longing for the past. But when I developed the films, I was disappointed with the results. I was hoping they would look like old photographs. The colours came out more vivid than when using normal kodak portra 160 (perhaps because mine was expired and pushed two stops when developed). I felt that this is not what I wanted and also that it is not really my style. I guess I had some expectations about the whole thing.

And then I thought that I did the best I could, given the tools I have at the moment (I had to sell all my equipment for personal reasons and only kept my grandfather's camera for sentimental reasons and was left with few boxes of kodak portra 160 that I didn't sell) and that the final results were actually not up to me. I felt that this was a great lesson of humility, letting go, diminishing my ego and expectations, trying to deal with my 'control freak' and perfectionist side. So my new idea for the name of this project is 'humility', for the reasons above but also because of the small figure in the vastness of the landscapes (universe) as I am trying to show how small and insignificant we all are.

The other thing I thought about is what does the model feel/experience. What is her perspective? I feel not many people think about that. So I asked her. She said that in the beginning, the posing didn't feel natural to her, she felt awkward standing there looking at all these landscapes in front of her. But in later shots, she started to relax, closed her eyes and meditated.

Changed the name of the project to 'h&n' (for humility&nostalgia but also here&now).

There is one more film I shot for this project and that's it. It will not continue in its current form.

Line by Clint Cline

I am thankful for adversity. Likewise, I am thankful for the humility and utter reliance on God it points me to.

Now, before you think I'm all some kind of noble, let me also say that adversity hurts. And the conflict and outright hostility from some in my life hurts especially hard... dismissive ridicule masquerading as high-minded tolerance; mocking sneers written into shaded words; assumptions and presumptions born of enmity and estrangement.

I have lost to that estrangement close family and friend alike. Job would understand. So would Paul, and Luther, and Wilberforce, and Schneider. Each drew a line that defined an arc of adversity against which they leaned continually throughout their days. Mine, like theirs, has become an anchor.

God, it is said, draws straight lines with crooked sticks. And mine was particularly misshapen. But as an invited resident in my life, the line Christ has drawn for me has become a dividing line with those who bear adversity in their bosoms as if it their very breath. And for that I am thankful. No, not that we are divided. But thankful that by that line I am forever tethered to a hope and peace and assurance I would not have otherwise discovered.

As adversity isolates it also frees. And I am free, indeed.

The Palazzo dei Priori, Perugia (Umbria) by Andrea Guagni 9,2 Million

48 4

The Palazzo dei Priori or comunale is one of the best examples in Italy of a public palace from the communal era (11th century). It is located in the central Piazza IV Novembre in Perugia, Umbria. It extends along Corso Vannucci up to Via Boncambi. It still houses part of the municipality, and, on the third floor, the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria. It takes its name from the Priori, the highest political authority governing the city in the medieval era.

It was built in Gothic style between 1293 and 1443, in several phases. The irregularity of the facade is explained by the long construction, due to constant additions and the incorporation of earlier buildings.

The oldest part is the one that houses the Sala dei Notari, that is, the corner part between Piazza IV Novembre and Corso Vannucci. It displays three trifora windows with a trefoil portal on the side facing the square and ten triforas and four-light windows facing the Corso.

It was the first building site, between 1293 and 1297, by the architects Jacopo di Servadio and Giovannello di Benvenuto, both from Perugia.

In the early 1300s, the entire Palazzo Capitano del Popolo, formerly the tower house of Madonna Dialdiana, was incorporated into the west side, that is, the hidden side of the palace.

The subsequent expansion was managed, between 1317 and 1326, by the architect Ambrogio Maitani from Siena who, with his brother Lorenzo, was hired to refurbish the Montepacciano aqueduct, which carried the water to the fountain in the square. During this same period, lodgings were built for the new Magistracy of Priori (founded in 1303, consisting of ten representatives of each one of the main guilds of the arts, among the 44 that existed; they held office for only two months, in which they were housed in the palace). Their living quarters consisted of the dormitories and council rooms on the first floor, the kitchen and the dining hall on the second floor and the main hall on the third. Those locations were used starting in 1325, the same period in which the Portale Maggiore was built, which became the palace's main entrance.

Between 1326 and 1331 the comune purchased from Benvenuto di Cola dei Servitori a tower house, which was connected to the palace by an overpass, above the present-day Via dei Priori. On the old tower was built a bell tower. In 1331, the ancient Priori Chapel (Cappella dei Priori) was built here, consecrated to Saint Louis of Toulouse, brother of Robert of Anjou, belonging to the House of Anjou allied with the comune; for this reason, the carved lily emblem appears on the lunette of the portal and the side of the palace, along Via dei Priori at the intersection with Via della Gabbia.

In 1335, the facade was further extended, breaking the initial symmetry with the portico and San Severo hall on the ground floor and of the other halls on the upper floors. In the expansion, the church of San Severo di Piazza, of which only one wall remains inside, was incorporated into the palace (the title of the Church of San Severo was added to the nearby church of Sant'Agata, in Via dei Priori, which still retains the dual appellation).

Between 1429 and 1443 the palace was again enlarged southward, incorporating the church of San Giovanni al foro o di piazza, now the chapel of San Giovanni, part of Collegio del Cambio, i.e., the guild of the money changers, which took over the palace from 1452. For stylistic homogeneity the Gothic style has been retained, even though it was no longer used in the 15th century.

From 1534 the palace housed the apostolic legate (an emissary of the Pope) and there were changes made to the most recent wing of the palace. The architect Galeazzo Alessi designed the internal and external arcade in the 1580s. Later the architect and sculptor Vincenzo Danti completed the work by enlarging the interior staircase.

In the following years of papal rule, the palace underwent a period of decay and was greatly altered both inside and out (the crenellation disappeared, new windows were opened and the triforas disappeared). It was restored to its old form and restored after 1860.

The facade facing the square has a fan-shaped stairway built in 1902 to replace the two-flight staircase dating from the 17th century. The original one is presumed to have been fan-shaped. The trefoil Gothic portal is flanked by two triforas, the same as the five above, which have a pinnacle on top. The two on the right were added during the subsequent extension. On the ground floor, there are three asymmetrical arches; between the first two is a pulpit used for the reading of the edicts. Two large corbels above the Gothic portal support copies of bronze statues of the griffin, symbol of the city, and the Guelph lion; the originals (now in the entrance hall of the palace) were made in 1274, probably for a vanished fountain by Arnolfo di Cambio. The chains hanging from the statue and the iron bar are those taken from the gates of Torrita di Siena by Perugian soldiers during the Battle of Torrita in 1358.

The facade toward the Corso, with a bulging progression, allows a glimpse of the various extensions that have taken place over time. The walls on the first floor are decorated, as well as the facade on the square, by triforas and two examples of quatrefoil windows, while on the upper floor are 19 triforas with a pinnacle combining the colour of the white and pink stone. The Guelph cornice and crenellations crown the end of both sides. On the ground floor, shops replace the fondachi (warehouses) and artisan workshops. To the right of the portal is still the entrance of Collegio della Mercanzia [it], occupying part of the palace from 1390, while the Collegio del Cambio took over the southern extension, where it has been since 1452.

The Portale Maggiore or Portale delle arti, the dominant element of the building, attributed to local workers, was built in 1346. Rich in sculptural decoration, it is flanked by square pillars resting on two lions, the one on the left representing magnanimity, fertility and pride, and the one on the right representing of avarice, abundance and humility. On top of the pillars are two griffins, overlooking calves, the symbol of Corporazione dei Macellai (the guild of butchers), which commissioned the work. On the framing of the portal and the archway are bas-reliefs representing scenes of city life. In the lunette are copies of the statues of saints Lawrence, Herculanus of Perugia, and Constantius of Perugia (or Saint Louis of Toulouse), patron saints of the city. The style and the size of the portal are in contrast with those of the palace; for this reason, it is thought to have been constructed for an ecclesiastical building, but was later used for Palazzo dei Priori. On the left side of the portal is a figure with a title that reads: Entra Puro, move securo ('Come thither, be safe').

"O Father, give us the humility which realizes its ignorance, admits its mistakes, recognizes its need, welcomes advice, accepts rebuke. Help us always to praise rather than to criticize, to sympathize rather than to discourage, to build rather than to destroy, and to think of people at their best rather than at their worst. This we ask for thy name's sake." (Prayer of William Barclay, 20th century)

A Place of Great Humility by Bert CR

The National War Memorial has for me always been a place of great humility. This is especially true with the more recent murder of Private Nathan Cirillo on these very steps. Last weekend, when I took this photo, it was brutally cold and snowing. No one else was around but I could sense the history of so many people represented here.

expired Kodak Portra 160, pushed two stops

But this time, I thought I would do something different. I think the use of the traditional, red, Chinese dress was more for the visual reasons in the beginning.

And the word 'nostalgia' came to my mind in a natural way - the use of an old camera, expired films, dress from another era, showing longing for the past. But when I developed the films, I was disappointed with the results. I was hoping they would look like old photographs. The colours came out more vivid than when using normal kodak portra 160 (perhaps because mine was expired and pushed two stops when developed). I felt that this is not what I wanted and also that it is not really my style. I guess I had some expectations about the whole thing.

And then I thought that I did the best I could, given the tools I have at the moment (I had to sell all my equipment for personal reasons and only kept my grandfather's camera for sentimental reasons and was left with few boxes of kodak portra 160 that I didn't sell) and that the final results were actually not up to me. I felt that this was a great lesson of humility, letting go, diminishing my ego and expectations, trying to deal with my 'control freak' and perfectionist side. So my new idea for the name of this project is 'humility', for the reasons above but also because of the small figure in the vastness of the landscapes (universe) as I am trying to show how small and insignificant we all are.

The other thing I thought about is what does the model feel/experience. What is her perspective? I feel not many people think about that. So I asked her. She said that in the beginning, the posing didn't feel natural to her, she felt akward standing there looking at all these landscapes in front of her. But in later shots, she started to relax, closed her eyes and meditated.

Changed the name of the project to 'h&n' (for humility&nostalgia but also here&now).

I wonder what you think.

Golden Buddha: Symbol of Humility by Greatest Paka Photography

11

To understand the significance of a small golden Buddha statue beneath a large Buddha, consider these points: It is a symbol of humility....the small statue represents humility and the importance of inner peace over size or grandeur; It is a symbol of spiritual growth.... It signifies the journey of spiritual growth, where the smaller golden Buddha embodies the potential for enlightenment; It is a symbol of the balance of power...the juxtaposition highlights the balance between power (large Buddha) and wisdom (small Buddha).

The small Buddha suggests that the teachings of Buddhism are accessible to all, regardless of stature; It focuses on inner qualities and emphasizes that true value lies in inner qualities.

Humility is a very useful quality that allows us to balance the often powerful influence of our ego. The key word here being ‘balance’.

As C S Lewis once said, ‘humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less’.

Humility provides a means of seeing beyond our periphery and thereby not obsessing about our own concerns, or being blinded by desire. It is a more grounded, down to earth view that looks outward at the world rather than always inward.

This is not to suggest we should ignore the inner workings of our hearts or minds but simply, like all things, we need to balance between our inner and outer worlds.

In the age of the selfie stick, we risk being drawn into narcissistic habits where our lack of a balanced perspective exposes us to seemingly greater shock – when in truth it is simply our bubble bursting at the slightest touch.

Humility is this balanced perspective.
