Double Negative is a piece of land art located in the Moapa Valley on Mormon Mesa (or Virgin River Mesa) near Overton, Nevada, which was completed in 1969. The work consists of a long trench in the earth, 30 feet (9.1 m) wide, 50 feet (15 m) deep, and 1,500 feet (460 m) long, created by the displacement of 240,000 tons of earth. Two trenches straddle either side of a natural canyon (into which the excavated material was dumped). The "negative" in the title thus refers in part to both the natural and man-made negative space that constitutes the work. The work essentially consists of what is not there, what has been displaced. The work is currently owned by The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) and is accessible by four-wheel drive vehicle or motorcycle.

I didn't add anything, except contrast in Lightroom. No vignette added too...

The Finnish band Negative performing in Tampere July 16th, 2005. They were part of the Tammerfest festival that always features lots of great bands and singers. I can highly recommend the festival if you happen to be in Tampere on July. :)

If Portlandia was really good, they'd do a whole episode about our street signs.

I knew this was going to happen. I had a bad experience with a seller. I wanted to leave negative feedback. But I knew very well that since the seller did not leave feedback for me yet, that they would retaliate and leave negative feedback for me. And they did. No surprise. 100% positive is overrated anyhow. In fact, I am now highly skeptical of people with >100 transactions and 100% positive feedback. There are too many idiots out in the world that if you haven't dealt with at least 1 of them out of 100 transactions, then you're somehow manipulating your score (more on this below).

This is a real problem with the way the feedback system works and ebay refuses to do anything. They explicitly state, "a belief that a comment is untrue, undeserved, or left in retaliation, is not one of the criteria for removal." There were a couple of other times that I wanted to leave a negative for a seller but got scared off because I noticed they hadn't left feedback for me yet. I believe that ebay sellers intentionally do that to discourage negative feedback. That's the equivalent of your waiter not serving your food until you tip them- so they can decide based on the tip amount whether or not they're going to spit in your food.

So now that I've gotten my first negative, I think I'm much more inclined to give more negatives out when they're actually deserved rather than holding back because I'm afraid of retaliation. The world needs more negative feedback.

Really, what I need to do is stop using ebay. The negative retalitory feedback issue has been blogged to death and they just refuse to address it. The problem is, for certain types of items, ebay is the only game in town...

Attempted to make a negative painting of trees; messed it up; so I cut and pasted a picture of a fish on it; and called it a day.

recovered negative from Impossible Project film. Inverted in PSE 9.0. I tried soft scrub with bleach and used my fingers to spread the paste around the negative. Original shot was processed for 15 minutes then separated for the negative recovery.

It scanned from the negative film from peelings test #2.

My first attempt at shooting anything in the Eastman 2-D. I figured I'd start with a paper negative using Ilford Multigrade RC. Pretty standard stuff. This was taken with a lens taken off of a 5x7 camera I had to scrap; I think it's about 7.5 inches.

I knew the paper was orthochromatic, but I wasn't expecting quite so much blowout in the sky. I think I rated it at ISO 6. Exposure was 2 seconds, give or take.

The image on the left is a straight scan of the paper, which is a bit torn up from improper handling and wrestling with the film holder. The image on the right is inverted, reversed, and curve-corrected to bring out detail in the blown out areas.

I tried to draw in the artistic style of an artist I admire, Hawaiian: hawaiian.deviantart.com/

I'm not sure that I succeeded, but it was a lot of fun!

Some very old negatives I got from a friend colector to scan.

So interessting I had to share.
