fresh new look! new visor plating, better storage for magnifying glass (effective but not as aesthetic as pulling it out from under his jacket), a camera, a golden axe relic with SU/ON's soul sealed inside, and a rad scarf stained red with the blood of SU/ON.
For those of you not into this...Lightning McQueen is the name of the Car. He was the star of the Cars Movie.
The young boys all love it.
Part of the ongoing myopia series:
Glasses and book still life.
Strobist: I lit this shot using a flash in a small softbox camera left, with a small white reflector close to the flower. The yellow light came from camera right, shot through a rectangle cut into a black card.
I blended two images together in photoshop to get focus on the word magnify.
Earlier this week I posted a picture of the plants in our diningroom window and thought I’d show you a cool thing. The screen on that window developed a hole (don’t remember why) and when casting around for solutions to repair, I found this butterfly. It is a clear sticky patch and two magnets (one for inside and one for outside), so it covers the hole and stays in place. Cool- huh? Some creative problem solvers out there!
Woke up at 6am today. I was so fresh that I was just ready to get up...doesn't happen very often these days :)
I thought I would edit another photo from the Regents Park Meet Up.
I instantly loved this photo even looking at the screen on the back of the camera...so I was quite excited to edit it!
And I am very happy how it turned out! (which is also a very rare occasion) :D
btw...it was taken with my kit lens only...
Christine suits these shoots so much :)
An old leaf being reflected and magnified by the raindrops. I just thought it was an unusual shot. Have to run a couple of errands and then to work. Will be visiting as I can!! Thank you all for being so understanding!! Happy Tuesday!

Pour son exposition au Centre d’art contemporain de la Matmut – Daniel Havis, Maia Flore fait se rencontrer deux composantes essentielles à la vie : le rire et le rêve. Ses photographies, créées à partir de souvenirs et d’impressions, nous emmènent dans l’imaginaire de l’artiste. Un imaginaire foisonnant remplit de malice et de poésie.
Maia Flore utilise la photographie comme principal médium, qu’elle souligne par la pratique du dessin et du collage. Comme une conteuse visuelle, l’artiste transforme la réalité et magnifie les choses simples qui nous entourent. Un coucher de soleil, un arbre en fleur ou encore un ciel un soir de pleine lune : découvrir le travail de Maia Flore c’est s’autoriser à rêver…et à rire d’un petit rien ! La photographe s’inspire de ce qui l’entoure pour créer ses compositions, parfois numériquement. Un brin surréaliste, elles sont souvent teintées d’humour. Maia Flore s’empare de situations du quotidien pour en faire des mises en scène cocasses dont elle est la principale actrice. La place du corps est au cœur de ses images : il est toujours en mouvement, en lévitation, gracieux, parfois même en fusion avec son environnement. Toutefois, l’artiste nous cache son visage pour que le spectateur s’identifie mieux au personnage de ses photographies. Le parcours de l’exposition met en avant le travail métaphorique de Maia Flore, qui navigue habilement entre le monde réel et le monde imaginaire laissant place à une intimité visuelle qui unit le corps humain et le paysage. En explorant les galeries du centre d’art, les visiteurs sont transportés dans un rêve onirique captivant et amusant.
La photographe française Maia Flore née en 1988 oscille entre la France et les États-Unis. Juste sortie de l’école des Gobelins, elle devient membre de l’agence Vu en 2010 et reçoit le Prix pour la photographie HSBC en 2015. Les différentes résidences auxquelles elle a participé et les expositions internationales l’on amenées à voyager de Rio à Rome, ou de Moscou à Buenos Aires. Elle a exposé à la galerie Themes+Projects à San Francisco et à la galerie Fremin à New York. Les thèmes du voyage, des paysages, du mouvement et du corps lui sont chers.
For her exhibition at the Matmut – Daniel Havis Contemporary Art Centre, Maia Flore brings together two essential components of life: laughter and dreams. Her photographs, created from memories and impressions, take us into the artist’s imagination. A teeming imagination filled with mischief and poetry. Maia Flore uses photography as her main medium, which she highlights through the practice of drawing and collage. Like a visual storyteller, the artist transforms reality and magnifies the simple things that surround us. A sunset, a tree in bloom or even a sky on a full moon night: discovering Maia Flore’s work is allowing yourself to dream…and laugh at a little nothing! The photographer draws inspiration from what surrounds her to create her compositions, sometimes digitally. A bit surreal, they are often tinged with humor. Maia Flore takes everyday situations and turns them into comical stagings in which she is the main actress. The place of the body is at the heart of her images: it is always in motion, levitating, graceful, sometimes even merging with its environment. However, the artist hides her face so that the viewer can better identify with the character in her photographs. The exhibition itinerary highlights Maia Flore's metaphorical work, which skillfully navigates between the real world and the imaginary world, leaving room for a visual intimacy that unites the human body and the landscape. By exploring the galleries of the art center, visitors are transported into a captivating and amusing dreamlike dream.
French photographer Maia Flore, born in 1988, oscillates between France and the United States. Fresh out of the Gobelins school, she became a member of the Vu agency in 2010 and received the HSBC Photography Prize in 2015. The various residencies in which she participated and international exhibitions have led her to travel from Rio to Rome, or from Moscow to Buenos Aires. She has exhibited at the Themes+Projects gallery in San Francisco and at the Fremin gallery in New York. The themes of travel, landscapes, movement and the body are dear to her.
Artwork at Chelsea College of Art July 2011 consistng of found objects on which the artist has burned patterns using a magnifying glass and the power of the sun thereby creating an artwork that involved no extra waste of energy.
LENS: Kern 50mm Switar AR f/1.4 (old movie camera lens made in Switzerland). Added old Voigtlander Focar close-up attachment made in Germany in 1950s.
CAMERA: Olympus E-PM2.
Don't you wish you had a full Holga outfit with wide and long lenses? I did! So I made a holga with a portrait lens. This is a single-element, plastic, 110mm lens. It is all the things that make Holgas great: Non-anachromatic, non-aspheric, non-astigmatic, and even more pincushioning than the Holga 60mm.
Built using a $2.49 magnifying glass from Walgreens (lovingly extracted from its housing with a 1" wood chisel) and about $15 of plumbing supplies (counting the stuff I bought "just in case" but never used). The Holga shutter had to be replaced since the aperture was much too small. I had purchased a cheapo Metax shutter on ebay a couple of months ago for $20, thinking I'd put it on a pinhole camera. This is a much better use! (The pinhole shutter will remain a strip of electrical tape.)
The image on the lower right shows a wax paper "ground glass" view (rather out-of-focus) of the image through the lens.
Most fun I've had on a camera mod since making my cigar box pinhole camera.
It takes photos like this and a few more in my Holga set.
playing with my son's magnifying glass..meh
just trying to catch up!
still a day behind..back later with something better..i hope! ;>
have a wonderful tuesday!
Per viaggiare bisogna avere una casa da lasciare e dove tornare. Altrimenti sei un fuggiasco, un esiliato, un qivittoq*.
- Peter Hoeg, Il senso di Smilla per la neve
* […] the Qivittoq, people who leave society to live alone in the wild.
“Every once in a while, you might see one while you’re out hunting, but you’ll never be able to catch him. People say Qivittoq gain natural powers such as the ability to fly from mountain to mountain and the ability to run after reindeer,” said Lars-Peter Moerch Heilmann of Paamiut.
