Dale and I tried to do a forced perspective shot. Neither of us have done one of these before. I'm not sure about this setting. We might try again sometime with a better set up. Dale's 11 year old son, Isaac was the one looking through the viewfinder, instructing Dale where to place his hand, and telling me where to stand. I think Isaac did a great job lining this up. He also snapped the picture. I think we just needed a better background.................. Or no background at all....
Every time I am a little peeved I go to Dakota. She can always help me gain a little perspective on the situation. To me she is a little slice of dolly heaven.
The fantastic ET dress helped too! :)
As you can see, the visitors are very much interested in taking the pictures which create an illusion of the subjects like monuments being smaller or taller than them. This type of photography is very much popular among them. You can create an amazing picture which force the viewers to stop and see your clicked pictures.
This guy was bedded down waiting for his lady friend to give him a sign. As such, I was able to get pretty close for the shot.
Thanks for looking!

My attempt at creating perspective with blackwork. The Beginning Drawing approach using blocks and spheres. The sphere looks better in the larger size.

PRO 90 - Ruth Bernhard
Emulation 08 (one Month) Due Sunday, December 27, 2009
Mission: To Emulate the work of Ruth Bernhard.
"Each time I make a photograph I celebrate the life I love and the beauty I know and the happiness I have experienced. All my photographs are made like that ~ responding to my intuition... After all these years, I am still motivated by the radiance that light creates when it transforms an object into something magical. What the eye sees is an illusion of what is real. The black-and-white image is yet another transformation. What exactly exists, we may never know." ~Ruth Bernhard
In this world, too often we decline the opportunity to unveil beauty. That's what I'm looking for here; the unveiling of beauty.
This woman was deeply moved by light and it's magic in hiding and revealing details. Shadows were not empty to her; they were boundries to hold the light in place. She died at the age of 101 in 2006, so she had access to color photograhy, but she used black / white photography.
The understanding of her work may rest in comprehending the nature of light. It's not so much about the subject, but what the light can do to that subject.
Most likely the reason she avoided color photography is because the eye can be fooled by the colors instead of searching for the forms of the subject.

I set up an impromptu studio at home with some natural light from the window, our regular overhead lights and a standard lamp to fill in. I used the built-in flash with a $20 Gary Fong diffuser on it. In post I did some cleanup, dodge and burn and used noiseware to remove some noise (and soften the skin).
1. I was inspired by Ruth's view of the beauty of the female form in her nude studies. My model is not a typical nude model and I wanted to try to use light and the lines of her curves to keep the image simple and clean. This particular image that influenced this was Perspective 2
2. what you like and/or don't like about Bernhard's work
I love her nude studies. I don't think I saw an image of hers that I don't like. I love the spirit that she brought to her work.
3. your thoughts and/or thought process behind your assignment submission
I was in two minds about using a nude for the submission, but I really like how the image came out and it seemed appropriate.
4. how your photo reflects Bernhard's work
Ruth was interested in how light can be used to isolate and simplify an image. I believe that this image does that and also offers a homage to her love of the female form.
5. what you gained as a photographer from studying Ruth Bernhard's work
I had not heard of her before. She is an inspiration.

A different perspective on the white elevator at Meeting Creek.
The plaque on the elevator states 1917 and it's been beautifully restored.
Description of Historic Place
The Alberta Pacific Grain Elevator Site Complex is located on Railway Avenue at Main Street, beside an active railway line in the hamlet of Meeting Creek in central Alberta. The site consists of a pre-World War One grain elevator and an attached drive shed, an office/engine house, and a storage/fuel shed, located on one lot of 215 square metres. The adjacent rail line and train station are not included in the designation.
Heritage Value
The heritage value of the Alberta Pacific Grain Elevator Site Complex in Meeting Creek lies in its role in the grain trade which lay at the economic heart of this rural community and its hinterland from before World War One. It also represents a method of grain handling that predates the large cooperatives of the 1920s onward.
The construction of the Calgary and Edmonton and Canadian Northern Railways and the introduction of the sturdy strain of Marquis wheat in 1910 dramatically expanded agricultural settlement and wheat production in central and northern Alberta in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Meeting Creek was one such settlement, established in 1911 in the centre of what would become a rich agricultural hinterland north of Buffalo Lake. The Alberta Pacific Grain Company erected the hamlet's first grain elevator next to the rail line sometime between 1914 and 1917.
Very few elevators of this period have survived in Alberta, and the buildings on the site follow standard plans common throughout the province at the time. The Alberta Pacific Grain Elevator Site Complex is an excellent, rare example of an early grain elevator, and demonstrates the central role of elevators in Alberta's rural communities. It represents an all-wood Prairie Vernacular style of industrial building designed to grade, weigh, store and ship grain, in this case with a 26, 000 bushel capacity and typical crib construction. The site retains original grain handling artifacts that demonstrate the workings of the elevator, and its historic relationship with the Canadian Northern railway station and rail line.

Character-Defining Elements
Key elements that define the heritage character of this site include:
- the form, scale, and massing of the grain elevator and its ancillary structures, the drive shed, office-engine house and fuel shed; and the unaltered spatial relationship between the structures;
- the tall rectangular design expressing its grain handling function, with wooden crib construction, exposed structural members, sloping shoulder design, wood framing, and cupola
- pressed metal (tin) covering of elevator;
- in situ components of the grain handling system, such as the elevator leg and distributor, weigh scale and hopper scale, control wheel and levers, electric motors, bins, hopper, belts and pulleys for the vertical conveyor belt, wood bins and chutes, air pressurized hoist system, man-lift;
- post and beam construction of drive shed;
- fenestration pattern;
-prominent corporate signage;
- the external visual relationship between the site, rail line and railway station.

Context:The community of Meeting Creek developed shortly after the arrival of the railway to the district in 1911. Across the tracks, directly facing the hamlet's main street, the first grain elevator was erected by the Alberta Pacific Grain (APG) Company. The date of construction is listed on the designation application form as 1917-18. A photo of the hamlet dated 1914, however, clearly shows this wood frame elevator as the most prominent structure in the skyline.
Although Meeting Creek never developed into Village status, it was for years the centre of a rich agricultural hinterland north of Buffalo Lake. During the 1920s, the Searle Grain Company and the Alberta Wheat Pool (AWP) also built grain elevators there. In later years, the Alberta Pacific elevator was given a metal veneer and, in 1972, sold to the Alberta Wheat Pool. Today, the structure complements the adjacent railway station, which also dates from the pre-1920 period.
Took this the other night on the patio of a hotel. I was laying down just enjoying the evening and noticed that the building look interesting from that perspective. Took the photo with my phone, and honestly, I love it.
This simulated perspective view shows Occator Crater, measuring 57 miles (92 kilometers) across and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) deep, which contains the brightest area on Ceres. This region has been the subject of intense interest since Dawn's approach to the dwarf planet in early 2015. This view, which faces north, was made using images from Dawn's low-altitude mapping orbit, 240 miles (385 kilometers) above Ceres.
Dawn's close-up view reveals a dome in a smooth-walled pit in the bright center of the crater. Numerous linear features and fractures crisscross the top and flanks of this dome. Prominent fractures also surround the dome and run through smaller, bright regions found within the crater. The central dome area is called Cerealia Facula and the dimmer bright areas are called Vinalia Faculae.
Not sure whether Thomas or I ever see things from the same point of view. I must say that he seems to think it's more fun to be on the opposite side of the fence.
One of the biggest gifts we have, is the gift of perspective. A single object can be viewed by us in so many different ways. It sort of defines who we are. What i saw, was not just a wooden plank. I saw a view so serene, it just had to be captured.
This building was just a warehouse. Recent days, reformed exterior by Kengo Kuma. It became modern Japanese style.
