My beautiful Houghton Victo camera has not been seeing enough action, so I gave it an outing yesterday, all the way to the front of the building. I've never used this camera in public before, and it seems that it's a bit of a traffic stopper. I'm still using paper negatives in there (have you seen the price of whole plate film?!) but they are grade 2, so less loopy on the contrast than multigrade and pinhole combined.

I was playing around with paper loops this afternoon and liked the effect I got with construction paper against the window. I needed some colour today. (Note - this looks much better on black.)

These are inspired by Polka Dot Cookies. She arranged hearts on a plate that reminded me of a heart shaped flower.

Thanks for the inspiration Libby!
Loopy, and this banner, were obtained from a defunct sideshow. He appears, in fact, to be a long missing specimen from the Neville Colmore Collection . We believe he is a nearly complete natural bog mummy of the goblin species Colmore dubbed, Goblopithecus lupus. Similar to some of the bog mummy fairies previously reported. The provenance is not clear but his stage name, "Loopy"; the reference to his Scottish origins, along with some other photographic and documentary evidence are quite compelling.
There were several specimens reportedly in the collection, mostly bone fragments, skulls, and one other partially mummified head. This one is the most complete. His connection to the chupacabra legend is carnival ballyhoo. The cranium is rather canine but the rest of the skeletal structure is not. Perhaps goblin incursions are the source of the modern chupacabra sightings.
He will be on display to the public in the Craw and Loupe Bros. All Hallows E'en Odditorium this weekend. I will post pictures when I am able and provide some more data on the osteology of the specimen.
Digital collage painting assembled on an iPad Air with PhotoWizard, Procreate, Aquarella HD, and Brushstroke. Many of the shapes used in this mixture, which relied on cycles of masking, were taken from small digital reproductions of paintings by Robert Delaunay. Most of the colors and their combinations are my own.

The loopies and braid down her back are artificial hair, but the color matches Livi's hair perfectly! It took half a can of hairspray to keep her own hair in place but it lasted all day, even through trick-or-treating.
Looks like he's found a bus that's even lower than his much vaunted VR. Back in my childhood there was a wonderful word regularly used in Comics and the such like but which seems to have latterly disappeared from present day vocabulary. That said, its one worthy of resurrection here ... chump!
Ah, we love him really!
Southern Pacific was throwing everything at Tehachapi to find out what would stick - SD-9s, SD-35s, SD-39s, SD-40s, U30Cs, U-33Cs and more. Here five headend units (3 U-30Cs, an SD-39 and an SD-9) cross over their train just as a helper set of two SD-40s emerge from Tunnel 9. Units are 7929-5312-7915-7922-3957 + 8430-8434.
