I took a short drive down to South Buffalo and West Seneca this afternoon to see the progress made on the snow removal. I ended up tripping on the dump truck caravan taking snow from afflicted areas from the storm to Buffalo Central Terminal's southern "wild" terrace green field. Absolutely stunning site to witness - seeing the mountains of snow just dwarfing the surrounding area. Snapped a few with the folks on top, to have some perspective.

Guardami negli occhi, io te lo racconto da li il mio mondo...
Dedicata ad un uomo un po' distratto...
Yesterday, I had chest reconstruction surgery. Today, in an effort to get some fresh air, we went to the mall (weird, I know.) As I was unable to walk for long distances at this point, I experienced the mall from the perspective from a wheelchair for the first time in my life.
...another perspective
after a few years, I recently returned to the scene of the crime where the original was shot.
This shot has an interesting perspective, showing the batter to the left in front of the fence, and the spectator on the right behind the fence. There's some symmetry here, even though the main subject is on the left
I found this old fishing rod washed up on the beach. by the look of it, I'd say the fish won this battle... some time ago. I was taken by the barnacles and the encrustation as well as the play of the morning light . It provided another nice opportunity for me to see what could be done with light, texture and perspective as well as a chance to experiment with Fuji color film. Forgive the self-indulgence!

1st st., Douglas (WY). Being on the ground with the wide angle made proportions between the sign, the photographer and the train interesting.
...aerial perspective refers to the effect the atmosphere has on the appearance of an object as it is viewed from a distance. As the distance between an object and a viewer increases, the contrast between the object and its background decreases, and the contrast of any markings or details within the object also decreases. The colours of the object also become less saturated and shift towards the background color, which is usually blue, but under some conditions may be some other color (for example, at sunrise or sunset distant colors may shift towards red).

The art above has nothing to do with the review of my fanzine, Cryptoc, below. It was a study in perspective in pencil, done in the late 60s or early '70s.
The review:
Crypt of Comics
From Star Trek Nuts and Bolts
#22, February 1978
The price cannot be beat (25 cents + 13 cent stamp). A quarter for any kind of fanzine is hard to find. Cryptoc is printed off set on newsprint, tabloid style. As stated in the editorial, Cryptoc’s policy for future contents “…is dedicated to showcasing the work of amateur artists and writers…ALL creative thought is important. From primitive first steps into communication to the polished work of professionals, all attempts at self-expression hold merit. Despite some who may criticize the wide range of quality in The Crypt, our purpose is to print both the rough-edged and the polished.”
Cryptoc is not a Star Trek zine. Nor is it a comics zine. I really don’t know what to call it—maybe a general interest creative zine with an open format. Practically anything will probably be found in future issues, which could be an asset or hampering quality. Hampering because readers won’t be sure what the next issue will hold for them – art, comics, sf, f, romance, poetry, or who knows?
Issue #1 seems to be a showcase of Duane Hanson’s work. 5 ½ of the 8 pages plus a cover are all from the pen of Duane Hanson. Contents also include a short essay on the radio version of “The Shadow”, the editorial, and a few ads. The 5 ½ pages by Duane Hanson are Chapter One of “Crag”, a continuing story of radiation mutations and its effects on a family. The story is interesting enough, the art good, but the dialog and narration is confusing. “Crag” was written by a couple of different authors [editor’s note: it was not] (though uncredited to them) and is to be written by Hanson in the future {editor’s note: it was not, and was never intended to be written by Hanson].
#2 promises more pages, more artists, more writers, and Chapter Two of “Crag”. #2 is to cost 35 cents and will be ready soon if not already. Why not chance a quarter, it can’t hurt. Rating: 6. Reviewed by George Perkins.
