This meticulously executed preparatory drawing documents the initial conception of a dramatic and monumental composition, now at the Louvre, that would become a seminal work in the artist’s oeuvre. Although Girodet would go on to produce numerous figurative studies, the Gallery’s recently rediscovered sheet is one of three compositional sketches for this painting and, as far as we know, the only preparatory work for A Deluge Scene outside of France.

The sun’s golden rays cascaded upon the men as they meticulously positioned the gleaming treasure upon the table. Each glint and sparkle of the riches seemed to dance in harmony with the radiant light, creating an enchanting spectacle that captivated the eye.
This is the ‘daytime’ photo of my build for Summer Joust 2023’s Light and Shadows category.
There's an immense gulf between my persona as a photographer and that of a photo processor. I liken it to the Victorian tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Jekyll in me is the image processor. A meticulous man, he concerns himself with histograms and pixels, clarity and contrast. The Hyde in me (the photographer) cares little about such things. He wanders about with his camera, acting something like a cross between a psychic medium and someone witching for underground water wells with a divining rod. My Jekyll is a meticulous man who spends untold hours in front of his computer, trying to manipulate and extract meaning from the tons of raw material that Hyde dumps on him. Meanwhile time means nothing to Mr. Hyde; he can complete his work in three hours or three minutes. While Dr. Jekyll sees only the pixels on his monitor, Mr. Hyde seems to see everything but the pixels; in many cases he's responding to things he can neither hear nor see, let alone capture with his camera. Yet as divergent as these two are, they are co-dependent. One cannot complete his work without the other. I've thought about bringing Dr. Jekyll with me on location by means of connecting the camera to a tablet and being able to study compositions as they are being captured. While that might work in some situations, it sounds to me like a good way to kill off the spontaneity on which Hyde thrives. One way I've discovered to appease Jekyll without placing undue restraint on Hyde is to shoot multiple angles and bracket heavily. Nothing pisses off Jekyll more than having limited choices when selecting images to process. Even minute changes of camera angle and exposure can make or break an image. This small figurine is a case in point. Jekyll recognized the potential for a good image, but could not comprehend in the moment how to compose it, or critically in this case, determine the most effective camera height and angle. So he tried multiple angles and brackets, and is so often the case, didn't even bother to review them. He just walked off leaving the final decisions to Dr. Jekyll. Quite a pair these two.

Black and white photography is a meticulous exploration of light, contrast, tone, and shadow. In this monochromatic realm, devoid of color distractions, photographers delve into the raw essence of visual elements. Light functions as a sculptor, shaping subjects and orchestrating a dance of highlights and shadows. Contrast takes a leading role, defining the boundaries between light and dark, amplifying the inherent drama in each frame. Tone, with its subtle gradations, adds depth and texture, transforming a simple image into a captivating narrative. Shadow, a silent partner to light, contributes to the composition's complexity, lending a mysterious quality to the overall visual experience. In the world of black and white photography, the artist's discerning eye transforms a snapshot into art, where each nuance communicates a profound story.

Designed for the 1917 Vanderbilt Cup Race, and constructed at their plants in San Francisco and Oakland, it has been meticulously restored/recreated as perfectly to original drawings as possible by the magician, Dick De Luna, and as Google will sadly tell you, the 1917 race, was cancelled by a small European skirmish, known as the War to End All Wars. I was lucky enough to see it up close and very personal at Laguna Seca Historics. I can't imagine keeping the entire car polished like a mirror, but it is flat out gorgeous.

The portrait for the evening: A dutifully kept ledger. Full to bursting with dull, but meticulously kept accounts. And the ledger’s newest keeper, hunched over a desk, dull flickering light bathing the sallow flesh and squinting eyes.
The script filling the thick, worn tome was elegant but spindly. Each character far too long and narrow. An alphabet made entirely of small insectoids, ready to crawl off the surface of the yellowing parchment. Fingers that laid atop the page not actively being filled were as elongated as the lettering. Unsettlingly bony, nearing skeletal, the pallor of their flesh was even more stark when compared to the antique nature of the pages they rested upon. A single new line reflected the flickering candlelight in the still wet ink, as the woman who penned it leaned back against the hard wooden back of her seat.
A brief, but intimate glimpse into a quiet life.
Rikugien Gardens, one of Tokyo's most exquisite Japanese gardens, is a living testament to the Edo period's artistic grandeur. Established in 1702 by Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, a trusted confidant of Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the garden was meticulously designed to replicate famous scenes from classical Japanese waka poetry. "Rikugien," which translates to "Six Poems Garden," embodies the aesthetic principles of traditional Japanese landscape architecture, combining the beauty of nature with symbolic literary references.
As you wander through Rikugien’s winding paths, you’re transported to an era where tranquility and contemplation reigned. The central pond, pictured here, reflects the lush greenery and artful arrangement of rocks and trees, inviting you to lose yourself in its serene beauty. This pond, along with its surrounding landscapes, represents various poetic scenes and is masterfully integrated with man-made structures like stone lanterns and teahouses. Each feature harmonizes with nature, embodying the Japanese concept of "shakkei" or "borrowed scenery," where the garden’s design draws upon the surrounding environment to create a seamless visual experience.
During autumn, the garden is especially enchanting as the vibrant red and gold hues of maple trees illuminate the landscape. Rikugien is a must-visit during this season, with evening illuminations that highlight the elegance of the changing foliage. For visitors seeking a peaceful retreat from Tokyo's bustling city life, Rikugien Gardens offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, making it a cherished destination for locals and tourists alike. This garden isn't just a scenic spot; it’s a journey through Japan's rich artistic and literary heritage.

The Great Orion Nebula (Messier 42). We all know it. It’s one of the first targets we point our telescope or camera at before stumbling down the ridiculous rabbit hole that is astrophotography.
One of my main goals in astsophtoogrpahy has been to meticulously create the most detailed and deep image of the Orion Nebula I could manage. A perfect challenging in astrophotography, in my opinion, as Orion is both a delightful and easy target for beginners, and as advanced a target as we might like for revisiting in years to come. Over the past three years or so I’ve accumulated some 150 hours of data on Orion, scattered amidst assorted experiments and attempts in editing (which, up until now, I’ve never finished). Over the past four months I’ve collected the images for this rendition, and spent an embarrassing amount of time learning and experimenting with new (to me) post-processing approaches to arrive at this result. I’m sincerely delighted to share this labor of love with everyone.
Constrictive feedback and discussion are absolutely welcome.

Post-Processing
Source data includes two nights of long and short exposures captured with my Celestron RASA-8 and ZWO ASI2600MC Pro, and numerous nights captured with my Takahashi FSQ-106EDX4 and ZWO ASI2600MM Pro with Astronomik UV/IR L2 and Deep Sky RGB filters. With the Takahashi I captured short and long exposures in luminance and color, along with a separate 4-panel mosaic in LRGB (binned color) which I used for stars and fine detail in highlights. I discarded sub-par data from sessions liberally. A master luminance image was created with data combined from both telescopes (blended into RASA data for the larger field of view, which was a point of challenge). A master color image was created with the RASA data, which contributed color for nebulae and background. And the four-panel mosaic was prepared and processed separately, ultimately contributing detail in highlights and the stars in the final rendition. And just because, why not—I’ve gone this far—I used my best subset of 5s exposures captured in Hα, last year, for luminance on the Trapezium. (The original is more than 16000 pixels across, and I went out of my way to present fine detail so a large print could end up on my wall, allowing me to appreciate details up close, returning me to these fun and stupidly cold nights whenever I like.) Starless versions were sent out to Adobe Photoshop for final combination and blending. Some normal PixInsight steps, like HDR combination, also ended up being handled, in part, in Adobe Photoshop. PixInsight was used during this process for features such as Local Histogram Equalization.
It’s challenging to outline post-processing details on this one because the workflow ended up looking like the stereotypical insane person’s wall cataloging a crime scene investigation, but I’m delighted to answer any questions someone may have.

I was recently gifted a clock from Shiraz, Iran, which incorporates some of the historic Persian craft-art work. Here's a detail.
Radials:
The craft of Khatamkari has existed for more than 700 years and is still practiced in Shiraz.
Delicate and meticulous marquetry has been produced since the Safavid period. Khatam was so popular in the court that princes learned this technique alongside music and painting. Khatam means incrustation and Khatamkari refers to incrustation work. This craft consists in the production of patterns (generally star shaped) with thin sticks of wood (ebony, teak, orange, rose), brass (for golden parts) and camel bones (white parts). Sticks are assembled in triangular beams, themselves assembled and glued in a strict order to create a cylinder 70 cm in diameter, whose cross-section is the main motif: a six-branch star included in a hexagon. These cylinders are cut into shorter cylinders, and then compressed and dried between two wooden plates, before being sliced for the last time, in 1 mm wide trenches. Now sections are ready to be glued on the object to be decorated, before lacquer finishing. The trench can also be softened through heating in order to wrap around objects. Many objects can be decorated in this fashion, such as jewelry/decorative boxes, desks, frames or some musical instruments. Khatam can also be used in Persian miniatures.
Central blue:
Minakari. The art of "Minakari" or "Enamelling" is called "miniature of fire" as well as the decoration of metal and tile. Minakari or Enamelling is the Persian art of painting, colouring and ornamenting the surface of metals by fusing over it brilliant natural colours that are decorated in an intricate design. Mina is the feminine form of Minoo in Persian, meaning heaven. Mina refers to the Azure blue colour of heaven. The Iranian craftsmen of Sasanid era invented this art.
Nightingales:
Another feature is the alternating nightingales (bolbols). These have an association with Shiraz roses.

It seem that The Beatles were having a go at us after all. After careful research and meticulous documentation I have discovered that the first letter of 18 of these songs creates a mysterious, nay secret, message. But I will let you decide for yourself if there is validity to my discovery or I am merely a conspiracy theorist.

It was cold, foggy, and pouring rain. To my right, Nathan Wirth had the sly grin of a mad scientist, having orchestrated an overwhelmingly inspiring weekend of photography. To my left, the incomparable Grant Murray was ever so meticulously composing his next shot, while huddling under a strange umbrella the size of a dinner plate. Behind me, Lydia was barefoot, jacketless, and hatless, bouncing around the jagged rocks along the beach like a ninja on a sugar high. The four of us clicked like long lost siblings, and I was afraid that beyond all the deep conversation and hilarious jokes, I wouldn't make it home with many photos. Actually, I wound up with dozens that I'm happy with. I'm looking forward to revisiting this and a few other locations around San Francisco later this year. An unforgettable experience. Thanks again, dudes.

Met Mom at the mall early this afternoon for some window shopping and a tea; not mt favourite place to be on a Saturday (it was crazy busy) but it was good to meet up with Mom and catch up.
Afterwards I ventured down to the river to see if I could get a photo or two. I'd pretty much given up as the landscape was drab and the wind was cold when I came across a kid throwing sticks at something in the woods.
He was trying to hit this little Downy, so I chased him off because his adults apparently thought this was adorable (I upset them by telling them a common trait in serial killers and psychopaths is harming animals for entertainment) and was able to get a photo or two of the Downy before he ventured further into the bushes. I like to think he stayed and posed as a thank you.
And then it was time to get out of the wind! Thankfully!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Vilhelm Hammershoi ranks among the pre-eminent Scandinavian artists from the turn of the twentieth century. At once traditional and avant-garde - maintaining a self-conscious dialogue with the artistic traditions of his homeland while being thoroughly conversant with contemporary European trends
- Hammershoi helped redefine modernism, both in terms of its aesthetic quality and geographic range.
He was first and foremost a painter of interiors - of hushed, near-deserted spaces populated by a solitary, seemingly spellbound figure. Contemplative and hauntingly still, these scenes comprise the majority of his oeuvre and are the works for which the artist is best known.
Landscapes, however, also played a central role in Hammershoi's art. This sheet is a magnificent example of the artist's unique approach to the genre, where strangeness and silence prevail, and space and line defy all expectations. The work is a precise preparatory study for the central
portion of a large-scale painting. . . .Hammershoi worked meticulously on
each individual tree, deftly defining the structure of the trunk and crown, establishing its precise position in relation to the road and imbuing it with a particular personality.
While "Group of Trees" depicts a deserted-looking thoroughfare flanked by trees, the Royal Road was in actual fact one of Copenhagen's busiest arterial roads. Unlike his Nordic contemporaries Hammershoi eschewed Romantic notions of pure nature untouched by civilization and instead transformed populated areas into desolate, barren landscapes seemingly abandoned by humanity. A sense of alienation and disquiet pervades his work.
Despite the low horizon and resulting high sky in this drawing, there seems to be a total absence of air or atmosphere - an emptiness all around. The grouping of trees, suspended in time, is a microcosm of the world, their seriality suggesting infinite expansion. And yet there is a claustrophobic quality to the scene.
Equally unconventional in "Group of Trees" is the distance between the scene and the beholder: no one has ever perceived and painted a Danish landscape that way before. The road is no longer as it traditionally was: a route into the internal space of the picture, a powerful source of connection. Here it runs parallel to the sheet - there is no way in. For Hammershoi, the work of art no longer served to mediate between humans and nature, but rather emphasized the distance between them.
-- notes from the catalogue "Gathered Leaves" --
Building sandcastles is not just a playful pastime; it's a metaphor for life's endeavors. As
we meticulously construct towers and moats with grains of sand, we learn patience, creativity, and resilience. Each crumbling tower represents setbacks, but also opportunities to rebuild and improve. The process teaches adaptability, as the tide may wash away hours of work in an instant, mirroring life's unexpected challenges. Yet, the joy found in the act of creation transcends the transient nature of sandcastles, reminding us to cherish moments of beauty and accomplishment amidst the impermanence of life. Just as with sandcastles, life's experiences shape us, and it's in the act of building and rebuilding that we discover our strength and resilience.

Hélas fermée le jour de notre passage.
Elle est un joyau de l’architecture gothique flamboyante. Au cœur du quartier des Antiquaires de Rouen, l’église Saint-Maclou allie éclat et élégance. Elle est célèbre pour ses façades de dentelles de pierre qui témoignent d’un travail minutieux alliant finesse et tempérament. Son porche à cinq pans disposés en arc de cercle est une autre particularité. Les trois arcades centrales abritent trois portails ornés de portes en bois sculptées, œuvres des huchiers, les ébénistes de la Renaissance. Le tympan du portail principal présente de manière somptueuse la résurrection des morts et le Jugement dernier.
C’est sur les marais du Robec, ancien ruisseau du quartier de Martainville, que cette paroisse de drapiers et teinturiers, dédiée au saint breton, est édifiée entre 1436 et 1517. Sa construction témoigne du style « flamboyant », expression tardive du gothique avec ses décors et ornementations détaillés, jusqu’à ce qu’il soit remplacé par l’architecture de la Renaissance.
Comme le veut la tradition normande, l’église Saint-Maclou possède une tour lanterne, mais celle-ci a la particularité de servir de clocher. Sa flèche de 83m de haut est l’œuvre de Jacques-Eugène Barthélémy et est édifiée de 1868 à 1872.
Unfortunately closed on the day of our visit.
It is a jewel of flamboyant Gothic architecture. In the heart of the Antiques district of Rouen, the Saint-Maclou church combines brilliance and elegance. It is famous for its stone lace facades that bear witness to meticulous work combining finesse and temperament. Its five-sided porch arranged in an arc is another particularity. The three central arcades shelter three portals decorated with carved wooden doors, the work of the huchiers, the cabinetmakers of the Renaissance. The tympanum of the main portal sumptuously presents the resurrection of the dead and the Last Judgement.
It is on the marshes of Robec, a former stream in the Martainville district, that this parish of drapers and dyers, dedicated to the Breton saint, was built between 1436 and 1517. Its construction bears witness to the "flamboyant" style, a late expression of Gothic with its detailed decorations and ornamentation, until it was replaced by Renaissance architecture. As is the Norman tradition, the Saint-Maclou church has a lantern tower, but this one has the particularity of serving as a bell tower. Its 83m high spire is the work of Jacques-Eugène Barthélémy and was built from 1868 to 1872.
