Our guide took us to the Jungshi Handmade Paper Factory, where oddly enough we walked right in as if we owned the place. The workers thought nothing of it, so we could only assume this to be a popular Thimpu tourist destination. Here they hand make traditional Bhutanese paper for use in making religious scrolls, as well as a wide variety of artistic pieces.
The big piles must have hundreds of sheets of paper all stuck together. They place them on the stack while still wet, and then peel off the mold as pictured. I don't quite understand how the paper dries properly!

This is the second one of these (with a paper airplane) that I've made recently, and I think I need to make a third one...this time for me!
Paper Dome[1] is a temporary church building constructed using paper tubes as structural elements. It was designed on a pro-bono basis by Shigeru Ban, internationally known Japanese architect who is renowned for his paper tube structures and buildings. This temporary structure was built on September 17, 1995 to serve as a temporary church for Takatori Catholic Church after the Great Hanshin Earthquake. Nonetheless, the venue was not only limited for use to religious worship but also used as a place for communal gatherings. However, when the church community planned to build a permanent building, the structure was donated to Taomi Village[2] in Puli Township, Nantou County,Taiwan which had suffered the 921 Earthquake in 1999. The deconstructed structure was shipped in 2006 to Taiwan, reconstructed there and is now one of the top tourist attractions in that area.

Considering B&W image processing in digital, I've learned a lot by reading Mike Johnson's The Online Photographer. I wrote about what I learned here.
The process is basically two steps.
1) Expose for the highlights and process for the shadows. This is the exact opposite of how I used to shoot film.
2) Open the shadows and smooth the highlights by taking the center of the Curve and raising it. It is essential.
Back in the film days we never stopped at negative processing. We printed to paper. This step, by the nature of the paper, opened the shadows and revealed the highlights when done properly. To get a similar effect in digital conversions to B&W I raise the mid-tones, which behaves like printing a B&W film negative.
Failure to do raise the mid-tones often leads to a muddy gray mess of an image. We often don't realize this until we compare the muddy mess against a Curves corrected image.
The Pentax 85mm f/2.2 Soft has been a very difficult lens to wrap a decent image making process around. The lens behaves in ways few do. I wrote a whole series on my explorations of this lens starting here.
Here's the setup I used - Sony NEX7 + Sigma 1.4x teleconverter + Pentax 85mm f/2.2 Soft shot very specifically at f/4.8.
I wrote about this combination and why I feel it "works" for landscape... except... I hadn't accounted for the way highlights glow and spill into the surrounding scene in high contrast situations. Perhaps some viewers might find this effect too strong for their liking.
Paper mache witch, haunted house. Crackled and aged. Hand painted Halloween scene at the base.
Will be posted on Etsy this coming week.
my living room window, they cast some really nice shadows, i'll have to get a shot of that...
next is the bedroom window :)
life is like a box of chocolates. a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. so you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. sure, once in a while there's a Peanut Butter Cup or an English Toffee. but they're gone too fast and the taste is... fleeting. so you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box... filled with useless brown paper wrappers.
I bought doughnut holes and they came in this bag that may by used for "it's many alternate uses in the home." Um, sorry, I'm not sure I'll be reusing the greasy, sugary bag for anything else.
I guess I get to "DISCOVER THE PAPER ADVANTAGE."

Tree created by Durand Memorial Branch Library. They used pages from books to create ornaments for the tree.
Every year the Durand Union Station displays themed Christmas trees created by local groups. The Station was built in 1903 by the Detroit firm of Spier and Rohns at the junction of two major rail lines. The station was almost destroyed by fire in 1905, but was quickly rebuilt. When it was built, the station is at the junction of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad and the Ann Arbor Railroad. Today, the station is a stop for the Amtrak train that connects Chicago, Illinois and Port Huron, Michigan.

My new cardigan made from Habu paper linen yarn and some thrifted cotton slub yarn. It is crackly but softish. Fun. Shame the light is so poor that the seams and details are not visible.
Task #54 (December 15th - 21st): Gift paper
I love wrapping gifts!
I have a whole set with my packages!
Most of my own are reusable (by the receiver). I also try to reuse the packages I receive, either for packaging or as material for my handcrafts.
