"angel's share"

The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker,

and all of them going to the fair.

The Dicken's Christmas Fair to be exact. It's a Victorian visual feast between now and Christmas at the Cow Palace in Daly City. It's well worth a visit if you're local.

This lady is technically a candle maker and not a candlestick maker, I guess.

This is the manufactures mark, cast into the surface of a cast iron cooking pot. It is 2 and half inches across, hence the tight crop.

Originally, the logo would have been pressed into the surface of a sand mould into which molten iron was cast.

This pot turned un in the back of a building I was clearing and after an hour with a wire brush and a tin of graphite based Grate Black it now looks splendid.

Archibald Kendrick & Sons set up as Iron Founders in 1791 and are still in operation in West Bromwich.

Men at Work !

They make the dreams that people dream about !

No one ever remembers the dream makers....

Sadly they make it and move further on

To build another Dream, for another ungrateful dreamer.

Thanks Oracle Lady for reminding me to post this one.

A little way down in the comments you can see a shot with the skyline.

Photo of this bread maker was taken on the West Bank of the Nile in Luxor during one of my trips to Egypt during the 1990s. Again, is a scanned image.

Long exposure taken from a great spot at the Narrow Neck Peninsula in Blue Mountains. I loved the strange rock pattern in the foreground and loved the motion of the trees and clouds. To me the trees looked like a dream maker, weaving the fabric of the clouds and creating their motion towards me.

My first test of Impossible I-1's manual mode was this illuminated inflatable forest made by Astro Botanicals at the Maker Faire. A 1.5 second exposure.

I walk around the garden and find these two mischief makers silently up to something. Not too sure if they were trying to cultivate or dig for worms.

In Cairo, Egypt there is a whole road designated for the tent makers. These people are highly skilled and very artistic. We were amazed at the level of detail in these pieces as they are hand made. We ended up buying the brown reddish one in the middle of the image.. It now hangs in our house as a reminder of this trip.

Le créateur d’étoiles.

J’aime pousser les portes, jeter un œil dans des endroits insoupçonnés, prendre l’inattendu, capter un bref instant, aussi bref qu’un éclair... le serrurier-tollier à quelques pas de mon local est un endroit fabuleux. Des silhouettes s’affairent et se détachent entre ombre et lumière. Je me glisse silencieusement à côté de l’un d’entre eux et dans le crépitement d’un arc, je fige l’imperceptible à l’œil nu : la naissance d’une nébuleuse d’où s’éjecte des milliers d’étoiles.

Mon soudeur, ce façonneur... de galaxies !

clouds maker

For awhile now I've had a mask maker version of Makuta built, but never got around to taking photos of him out of a lack of motivation. However finally got around to it.

I know this is likely a build seen many, many times before.

I will say this, the hammer does function, and I tried to make it a mix between the JTO version and 2015 animations version, which I think I accomplished well. I would one day like to replace the grey bits on the hammer with black, but don't have the spare cash right now to do so.

*Shrugs*

Also yes, that is Tahu's Chest plate, partially rubbed off. Thought the bit of red looked nice and reflected Makuta's Corruption.

Notes: Stieglitz made a number of images of fisher folk at a coastal town in the Netherlands and claimed that this one was his favorite because of how it typified their very existence. It expresses the life of a young Dutch woman; every stitch in the mending of the fishing net, the very rudiment of her existence, brings forth a torrent of poetic thoughts in those who watch her sit there on the vast and seemingly endless dunes, toiling with that seriousness and peacefulness which is so characteristic of these sturdy people. All her hopes are concentrated in this occupation – it is her life. (source: Stieglitz, Alfred, Richard Whelan, and Sarah Greenough. Stieglitz on Photography: His Selected Essays and Notes)

Through his activities as a photographer, critic, dealer, and theorist, Alfred Stieglitz had a decisive influence on the development of modern art in America during the early twentieth century. Born in 1864 in New Jersey, Stieglitz moved with his family to Manhattan in 1871 and to Germany in 1881. Enrolled in 1882 as a student of mechanical engineering in the Technische Hochschule (technical high school) in Berlin, he was first exposed to photography when he took a photochemistry course in 1883. From then on he was involved with photography, first as a technical and scientific challenge, later as an artistic one. Returning with his family to America in 1890, he became a member of and advocate for the school of pictorial photography in which photography was considered to be a legitimate form of artistic expression. In 1896 he joined the Camera Club in New York and managed and edited Camera Notes, its quarterly journal. Leaving the club six years later, Stieglitz established the Photo-Secession group in 1902 and the influential periodical Camera Work in 1903. In 1905, to provide exhibition space for the group, he founded the first of his three New York galleries, The Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession, which came to be known as Gallery 291. In 1907 he began to exhibit the work of other artists, both European and American, making the gallery a fulcrum of modernism. As a gallery director, Stieglitz provided emotional and intellectual sustenance to young modernists, both photographers and artists. His Gallery 291 became a locus for the exchange of critical opinions and theoretical and philosophical views in the arts, while his periodical Camera Work became a forum for the introduction of new aesthetic theories by American and European artists, critics, and writers. After Stieglitz closed Gallery 291 in 1917, he photographed extensively, and in 1922 he began his series of cloud photographs, which represented the culmination of his theories on modernism and photography. In 1924 Stieglitz married Georgia O'Keeffe, with whom he had shared spiritual and intellectual companionship since 1916. In December of 1925 he opened the Intimate Gallery and in 1929 opened a gallery called An American Place, which he was to operate until his death. During the thirties, Stieglitz photographed less, stopping altogether in 1937 due to failing health. He died in 1946, in New York. (source: The Phillips Collection)

WONDERFUL MAKER ~ Jeremy Camp

You spread out the skies over empty space

Said, "let there be light"

To a dark and formless world

Your light was born

what a wonderful God

I've always imagined meeting one's maker meant lots of warmth and bright lights. I never thought the moments before death meant your life would be flashed before you with TV screens.

But that's just what happens when Neo meets the architect of The Matrix.

For Take a Class with Dave & Dave.

"2. The Matrix - Photos inspired, in some way, by the movie The Matrix. Yep, it's my favorite movie. So there. If you've never seen it, the first part of your assignment is to rent it! If you are really, really opposed to doing so for some reason, and you don't know anything about the movie, poke around on the internet a little and you should be able to get some basic ideas. "

*Thanks to Organizer Fairy, who gave me the idea, and Serena, who told me where, in Matrix Reloaded, to find the scene.

In this week’s art maker class with Natalina, we started with a bit of qi gong, then had a conversation in french about objects around us in our home and garden. We then switched to Arduino programming and learned how to make a servo motor move. She assembled the hardware, reviewed the servo code and updated it to try different speeds for the motor. She keeps getting more fluent in both French and Arduino — two languages she wasn’t very comfortable with before. I think these weekly lessons are helping, and I am really happy with her progress.

We also discussed our next steps for Violet’s Journey, the fairy tale video that we are creating with her art ducks — which we have turned into poetic robots. We reviewed our options for the backgrounds that the ducks will glide in front of, and decided to start by printing one of our photo backgrounds onto a large vinyl banner, then shooting some test scenes against that backdrop, to see if this type of physical compositing with printed scenes will work. We also talked about the need for ’skirts’ to cover the robot bases, and looked at different ways to give Violet rainbow-colored feathers, using illuminated fiber optic strands that just came in from China.

Here’s our Arduino Guide for these classes: bit.ly/arduino-workshop-guide
