Today Statement #59:
Today I will change my perspective. I will see things from a different angle because if my camera has taught me anything it's the fact that if I change the way I see things, the things I see will change.
Our laundry is still waiting to be folded. We have spent a ton of time at the hospital supporting friends who have met with tragedy. This pile of clean clothes in my basement is a welcome sight. It reminds me that I have a healthy family, and that's all that really matters.
Sometimes you have to remind yourself that -- in your life of fire alarms, cat barf, phone meetings, 25MB attachments, and traffic -- being frustrated with the world implies the fact that you care about it enough in the first place to be frustrated with it.

It's easy to tangle up ideas, especially when we approach an issue from a narrow perspective.

It's always difficult to judge someones size from a photo so I thought I should post a straight on shot of Ash.
The shapes of the simple rectangles in this photograph illustrate one-point perspective. The diagonals lead the eye inward from the outer edges of the composition, toward the focal point (that tall thin rectangle of yellow sunlight to the right of the window). This picture was shot at the Noguere Museum one afternoon during its reconstruction, when the whole place was quiet and empty and the sunlight coming in through the north-facing glass block windows was golden and liquid-looking.
My photo walk of Saturday, September 14, 2024 in Lyon, France by a clear refreshed weather.
I used my Hasselblad 500 C/M camera loaded with an Ilford FP4+ film. The Carl Zeiss normal lens Planar CF 1:2.8 f=80mm was equipped with a 67mm screw-on filter Dark Yellow x3 B+W 023 adapted to the Hasselblad bayonet filter mount with a specific adaptor. The Zenza Bronica metal shade hood designed for the 75mm Nikkor-P lens was mounted additionally to the filter to its 67mm thread.
The film was exposed for 50 ISO in compensation of the filter light absorptionusing a Minolta Autometer III and its 10° viewer for selective measurement privileging the shadow area's or by measuring the incident light with the opalescent dome.

After the view #12 exposed, the film was fully rolled to the taking spool and was developed in a Paterson tank with a spiral adapted to the 70mm large film. 500 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer were prepared at the dilution 1+50 and the film processed for 15min at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta vertical macro stative device and adapted to a Minolta MD Macro lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel (approx. 4x5') CineStill Cine-lite fitted with film holder "Lobster" to maintain flat the 70mm film.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printed files with frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.
About my Hasselblad 500C/M:
I remember that somewhere around 2002, I considered to buy a Hasselblad camera. I gave up because I had no more access to a darkroom and I found too complicated to recreate one or to delegate the processing to a service lab. Afterward, I started digital photography that distracted me to operate again with films until more recently. It is only when I could manage in 2022 a reliable and quality way to exploit my negatives in a reasonable time, that I really could enjoy again of analog photography.
On July 17, 2024, I decided to buy "my" Hasselblad in a very traditional way, almost as I could in the 90’s, in a local real photographic store, Lyon, France. The store « Carré Couleur » of Jacques Larger, rue Servient, Lyon, France, is a long-time specialist of professional medium-format camera’s including Hasselblad ones. They had on display several revised and 6-month guaranteed camera’s and a large choice of lenses and accessories.`
I choose a 500 C/M year 1978 and a Carl Zeiss lens Planar T* 1:2.8 f=80mm of the CF series year 1986, plus a small set of little Hasselblad goodies. The 500 C/M is totally mechanical without any electrical nor electronic circuitry. The 500 C/M's were produced in Göteborg, Sweden, from year 1970 to 1994. They followed the production of the 500C camera’s (1957-1970). The latest V-series camera (503 CX, CW, CWI etc) ceased in 2006 and Hasselblad then produced only digital camera’s but also digital camera backs that could fit to the V-series includingbthis 500 C/M (www.hasselbladhistorical.eu/HS/HSTable.aspx)
This CF lens series has central shutter Prontor (Synchro-Compur for the earlier Zeiss series). They are more cylindrical than earlier series and equipped of the proprietary bayonet filter mount B60. The delayed shutter realease was also abandoned. The focusing screen is the « Bright » series with the Dodin stigmometer in the screen centrer and the squared cross-ruling lines. Later 501 and 503 were basically equipped with an even more brighter screen called « Acute-mat ». The camera back could dated from year 1977 is an « A-12 » back « A » standing for « Automatic ». The film advance automatically stops at view 1 with view counter on the right camera side.
After a complete demo by Jacques Larger, I studied the camera manipulation at home with the user manual in hand (an original edition of 1980) before doing the decisive « film d’essai » (test film) on a sunny morning of July 20, 2024.
The results show very high-quality, highly-contrasted negative views, perfectly exposed and spaced proving the good technical state of the camera, film magazine, and the lens/shutter.
On sept. 2, 2024, I received from a French specialist of collection camera's, a second film magazine Hasselblad "A12". This back is in a pristine condition and matches the production year 1978 (Hasselblad letter coding "UR") of the 500 C/M body.
The camera back is like a new with almost no signs of use. It arrived in its original Hasselblad box including the original user manual too. The film insert has latest 3 digits matching the film magazine serial number, that is not the case of the other magazine. Unmatched magazines and inserts, are very common and assumed not to be a technical problem, but Hasselblad maintained the pairing of the insert magazine to ensure to the customers of the best attention to the precision of the film plane.
I like the perspective in this shot, with the tower in the background and the head in the foreground, but only the plane in focus.

Perspectives Charter Schools conducted a Chicago Ideas Week Lab introducing the schools’ A Disciplined Life® (ADL) education model to the general public, and teaching them how to apply social emotional learning (SEL) in their own lives.
Students led up to 50 participants in an ADL class on Thursday, October 16 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Perspectives Rodney D. Joslin campus, 1930 S. Archer Ave. Participants engaged in rigorous discussion and self-reflection like Perspectives students do every day.
A Disciplined Life is a toolbox that teaches students how to be their best selves, cultivate healthy relationships, make informed decisions and become ethical, conscientious leaders. The curriculum was developed by Perspectives’ founders Diana Shulla-Cose, president of Perspectives, and Kim Day, the chief education officer.
“People will come away with a better understanding of social emotional learning and what students in inner-city schools are capable of,” said Rhonda Hopps, Perspectives’ chief executive officer. “We will inspire them to practice the 26 principles of A Disciplined Life to raise their level of fulfillment and civic engagement to drive positive social change.”
For one week, October 13-19, Chicago Ideas Week brings together some of the world’s most outstanding thinkers, inventors, leaders and creators to present their ideas and inspire the innovations of tomorrow. It is a platform based on sharing big ideas and making big things happen. Perspectives students make no small plans. Last June, student leaders organized a peace march down State Street on the South Side to express their hopes for a violence-free summer. More than 2,000 Perspectives students were joined by business and civic leaders, and the event was covered by some 30 media outlets.
Chicago Ideas Week Labs give people a chance to explore the best of Chicago, through exclusive access, behind-the-scenes experiences that give them a glimpse of the inner workings of businesses and institutions that are otherwise unavailable to the public.
Hopps, Shulla-Cose and Day will be in attendance during the lab.
Founded in 1997 by two public school teachers, Perspectives Charter Schools is a network of five open-enrollment public schools on the South Side, serving nearly 2,200 students. Perspectives prepares students for college and for life with its A Disciplined Life® education model that combines academic rigor with a focus on character development. Despite coming from some of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods in Chicago, Perspectives students graduate from high school, enroll in college, and persist towards graduation at rates above the national average.
