Persistence. Unending. Regardless of the miniscule, nay, seemingly non-existent results. The honey bee, tiny as it is produces honey measured in hundreds of thousands of metric tonnes. But does the individual bee ever think of this when out and about doing what it was created to do? Maybe I should have that mindset. Just focus on what I need to do persistently. Regardless of the outcomes or lack thereof. Lessons from nature.
On our visitor's last full day we went to Gussjön where there is a lovely grassy and sandy swimming place, complete with a jetty to jump off and a raft to swim to.
There were quite a few families there but enough space to spread out. The water was warm and we enjoyed our swim.
Towards the end of our swim a small group of mallard ducks arrived. They seemed totally unafraid and patrolled the whole area.
When we returned they came over to check us out. One was getting ready to give Jan's toe a nibble but she gave it a serious look and it wandered off again. Our neighbours had gone off to cook at a nearby table and the ducks explored their base thoroughly, checking to see if blue plastic bags or blankets are edible - fortunately deciding they weren't.
Grace was a bit freaked out by their persistence and retreated away for a while.
As I watched them I thought they were all female, which I found puzzling, but apparently young males have the same colouring as females so they were probably a female mallard and young.
According to Wikipedia almost all domestic ducks are descended from mallards and judging by the sociability of these ones I can really understand that.
6 LEDs setup like this: flickr.com/photos/randomskk/2158769361/
They flash on and off at high speed, so when waved about produce a message.
This new version has a little switch on the breadboard, when pressed it flashes the message once. This allows me to just have the message go by on the correct swing direction, and also makes it a LOT easier to get a good photograph.
I'm looking at using an accelerometer to do the same, but it would be able to automatically detect direction and speed and hopefully compensate to get a 'perfect' display.
this version dramatically altered from the original, has been printed, approx. 8 x 10, on velvet fine art paper, Epson R3000. no idea who these people were or why they arranged themselves in this order.

A sculpture of Dalí's The Persistence of Memory, in front of the Dalí Universe.
Dalí Universe is a permanent exhibition of art works by the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí which is housed in a 3,000 square metre (32,000 square feet) suite of galleries at County Hall in London, England. It opened in 2000. Over 500 works are on display, including sculptures dating from 1935-1984, drawings, lithographs, gold and glass objects and a Dalí-inspired furniture collection. It does not feature major paintings. The exhibition was originally curated by Beniamino Levi, who worked with Dalí on the development of his sculptures.
Technically Dalí Universe is an exhibit at the County Hall Gallery, which also stages other art exhibitions, but it is much better known under its own name.
Dalí himself created the Teatro Museo in his home town of Figueres in Catalonia. There is also a Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, and a Salvador Dalí Gallery in Pacific Palisades, California, both in the United States. Paris is home to the Espace Dali, another independent gallery devoted to the works of the surrealist artist.
Taking one of my photos from the Volcano in Hawaii I decided to make one of those motivation posters. I was inspired that anything could grow on top of the Volcano with all the gases and desolate terrain. This little guy popped right through the rocks and was growing strong.
Taken in week 62a of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:
The Vivitar PN2011 is a cheap point-and-shoot 35mm camera with a retractable mask to give a panoramic format. I loaded it with a roll of Kodak P3200 Tmax black and white negative film, in order to be able to use it in the rather dull late winter weather. In retrospect this was a bad idea, as the light leaks that often occur in toy cameras were made much more obvious by the very fast film, and also the grain is much more pronounced than I had expected.
The film was developed in Ilfosol 3 at 1:14 dilution and 24 deg C for 14 minutes.

The first year is documented in this book:
While commuting between cities, I'm usually trying to depict the road trip and surrounding elements. Fifty minutes before I reach my destination, some reflections brings me memories of a surrealistic piece.

Sometimes I wonder why there are so many words for something...things, that are one and the same. To me anyways. I come from a long line of stubborn people. They are smarter though. They understand riddles better than me.
And they will probably say Persistence is the act of (being) persevering. As for stubbornness...that's you. And the mule.
Don't you just love family. By the way, I'm a goat. Not the donkey's cousin, thank you.

Taken with a Minolta Dynax 404si camera with a 19-35mm lens. The film is Rollei Retro 400S, developed in Rodinal 1:50 for 22 mins at 20 degrees.
Set on board a deep space scientific vessel called The Persistence in the year 2521, the ship arrives at the site of a collapsing star 17,000 light years from earth. While conducting a major experiment, a horrific incident occurs mutating many of the crew. As The Persistence is pulled into the gravity of the collapsing star, the ship’s computer, ‘IRIS’ wakes remaining members of the crew from cryogenic sleep – one at a time. Can you stay alive long enough to get to the engine room and save The Persistence?

“Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.”
Hal Borland quotes
At one point, this is an appropriate word to describe a persons interest. Like a grass which is being stepped and trampled, but the next morning it is back again...
I paid £1.50 for this Kodak 44a camera in a boot sale last week. I'd picked it up and examined it several weeks previously, and was tempted to buy it, as although I already have one of these, this one had a partly used film in it. I put it down again, but when it was still there later in the season, I decided to rescue it. It takes 12 square format photos on a roll of 127 film, the film in it was on exposure 5. I decided to finish it off and process it, though was not expecting to get anything out of it. I don't know how old the film was, I didn't even know until I removed it whether it was colour or black and white. It turned out to be a colour Agfa film, and I developed it in my Tetenal C41 kit, giving it longer than usual to try to compensate for its age. When I looked at the film it seemed completely blank, but I hung it up to dry anyway, as an old roll of film can come in useful at times. Once it was dry, I could see there were very faint traces of images on it, at least on the portion that I had shot, there was nothing on the first five frames, reflecting the fact that an old latent image is less stable than a recently exposed image.
After scanning and doing some fairly radical adjustments in photoshop, I was able to squeeze some images out of a couple of the shots that I took.

Taken with an Instantload Cartridge camera in week 502 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:
www.flickr.com/photos/tony_kemplen/collections/72157623113584240
The film is Fujicolor HR which expired in 1991, developed in the Tetenal C41 kit. I have several cartridges of this film, and know that it is in very poor condition, with marked loss of sensitivity.
I was really excited about this photo when I took it, but when I got home to load it onto the computer, the image file was nowhere to be found on the memory card. I was heart broken. Months later, I came across a file-rescue program and was able to pull the image off the card. Lucky me.
No HDR. Adjusted exposure and cropped in LR 3

I have 4 children and even though they all end up walking, seeing them walk for the first time inspires me. Persistence in life is essential, no...no...no... mandatory!
Persistence pays off!
I got an e-mail from Rohitas Electronics (the manufacturer, tab 2 is open to that e-mail) stating: "Dear Sir,
We have incorporated the changes
Thank you once again
Warm Regards"

This morning both kids played a song at their first piano recital at school. I have been super impressed by both Kaden and Ayla’s persistence in practicing. Both of them were poised and performed their pieces perfectly. It almost washes away all the “noise” while they are practicing, especially when they aren’t supposed to be at keyboard!
