Playing with the negative version of the photo I uploaded yesterday. ;-))
HSS everyone !!
while hunting for another photo in my vast store of "stuff", I ran into the photo on the left. I don't know how, or when, or why, but I thought I'd to invert and see what was there. It's definitely me, I must have been working on making negatives at the time.
one of life's mysteries.
on the right is the inversion.
I tried searching on my stream, but it was quite a task. dunno whether I've used this photo before or not.
ah, I did find a version here from Sept 2016. I was working on oiled paper negatives.
**tonight I donated to Razom for Ukraine and World Central Kitchen.
please don't forget Ukraine. they still need food, clothing, and medical supplies.
NO MORE WAR! enough....
the strangest thing about a hole is the edge.

Another in my (unintended) series of storm damaged tree photos. This big guy has lost half his limbs, and now stands rather awkwardly, perhaps fearful of the next great storm. (Or am I just reading too much into the image?) Seen in Co. Mayo, Ireland.
The Japanese concept of Ma has been described as “a pause in time”, an interval or emptiness in space. As a music teach once said "Leave space so the high notes can shine".
Ma is not the negative space we photographers utilize in our images, but an emptiness full of potential. It should be deliberate and of value, holding sustenance towards the entirety of the shot.
Western image making seems to suffer from "FTF" : Fill the Frame. where 'empty' zones are frowned upon.

Here's Candor, thoroughly enjoying the fresh north sea air and finding nothing negative about the space to his left ;)
(we got back yesterday; sorry for not commenting all that much during our time at the seaside; I'll try to catch up!)
This device is used to measure various portions of spaghetti. Or I suppose you could use it as a wrench/spanner for round nuts :>. For Macro Mondays theme "negative space".

The negative version of this photo was just a lot more fun. The creative owner of this property loved decorating it in bottles.

Because darkroom paper is orthochromatic, the colour response isn't what you might expect - the petals of this sunflower are actually yellow and the background should be black ...

The eponymous object from the Discovery Cube Science Center in Santa Ana, CA. It looks quite ominous from underneath and in black-and-white.
