Photographed with Pentax K1000 SLR.
Original 35mm negative scanned with a Fujifilm X-T4 and Laowa 65mm f/2.8 macro lens, converted to positive using FilmLab software and edited in Lightroom 9.
Hello everyone! I've gotten a several flickrmails from people asking about what the best kind of film for landscapes might be so I figured I should just go ahead and write a blog post about it here: www.alexburkephoto.com/blog/2013/02/25/color-film-choices...
Also, just so everyone knows, I launched a facebook page a few months ago. You can follow me there to keep updated on blog posts like this one.

Scan from glass negative (9 x 12 cm), minmal image processing.
The picture is not mirrored, even if the label suggest it :-)
Photographed with the plate camera of my grandfather approximately 1925.
My grandfather is sitting right with one of his brothers. None of my living relatives ever saw a positive about …
His camera was stolen by an occupation soldier in the postwar turmoil. Today I still regret that I could not save all glass negatives from him, much was thrown away. Most of all, it hurts me by the fact that I could never get to know him because he died long before I was born ....
Rätsel Weib
Ich lernte sie kennen am Donaustrand,
Wo mancher schon sein Liebchen fand.
Sie lud mich ein zum edlen Schach,
Zu kämpfen um sie im stillen Gemach.
Mit Absicht machte ich mich klein
Und bald stand meine Dame ein.
Sie schlug sie weg, das mußt' ich büßen,
Dann wurde mir die Tür gewiesen.
Man braucht, so sprach sie, einen Mann,
Der seine Dame schützen kann.
Wer dieses aber nicht beachte,
Den sie als Stümper stets erachte!
Das nächstemal kam ich durch Schach
Auf andre Weise nicht zu Fach.
Mich lud dieselbe Dame ein,
Doch diesmal spielte ich sehr fein,
Ich nahm die Dame, die sie setzte,
Als sie den König mir verletzte!
Drauf sprach nun dieses Ungewitter
Der Worte viel und ziemlich bitter:
"Mein Herr, es ist zum Uebelnehmen,
Wie Sie sich heute hier benehmen?!
Nein, solche Männer muß ich hassen,
Die Damen nicht in Frieden lassen.
Hinaus, ich hab es endlich satt!"
Auch diesmal setzte sie mich "matt".

Mystery Woman
I got to know her on the Danube beach,
Where some had already found his darling.
She invited me to a noble chess,
To fight about her in the silent chamber.
I deliberately made myself small
And soon I lost my lady.
She knocked her away, I had to pay,
Then the door was shown to me.
One needs, she said, a man,
Who can protect his lady.
Whoever does not pay attention to this,
Which she always considers a bungler!
The next time I came through chess
In another way, not to compartment.
This same lady invited me,
But this time I played very fine,
I took the lady who she played,
When my king was in check!
This thunderstorm now spoke
The words much and rather bitter:
"Sir, it is the evil,
How do you behave today ?!
Now, I must hate such men,
who not leave the ladies in peace.
Out there, I'm fed up with you! "
This once, too, she put me "mate".
R. Böhmer (Wr. Schachzeitung)

Nail studio. Through the window.
Some places which are really busy during the day are really quiet and mysterious at night.

"I just dont want to have to drop everything and let it go, the third time. Only this time, ill never go back"

Think Positive! The pluses look random but they're not. A new quilt pattern - more info on the blog.
The what is it group was very curious to see unprocessed and a normal photograph of the subject for this series. I processed them the way I did because it was the texture the light source I was interested in.
Being positive is hard work, but it’s the best thing you’ll do to yourself, when things doesn’t go your way or are not as planned or if you had a problem “in school, illness, at home, with a friend” always look at it from the bright side & there is always a bright side to it, nothing happens to you unless it’s for the best, god has it planned for you every step of the way. And you’ll also have a better mood; I mean who you’d rather be friends with, a person who worries too much or someone who is positive all the time?
He guys, I’m sorry I am so not active these days because of the never ending midterms & a bunch of other stuff! I’ll try to catch up with my paused project & your amazing shots enshalla ^_*
This is my "Thank You!" to Dia777 & Jwarlocke. Introducing my newest couple Stephanie & KEE-gan. Thank you both for all the positive feedback and keeping me going in my crazy doll world.

my first account ;b
French cruise line company Compagnie du Ponant presents Le Boreal, seen above docked on Dublin's River Liffey, some nice reflections & night lighting over a very calm evening.
Le vie est belle, especially on Le Boreal, with just 132 cabins and suites for 264 passengers and 140 crew members.
Life's a journey, not a destination.
One of the best things of flickr is how we cheer each other on to improve our photographic skills. It is really rewarding when you get all that positive feedback.
Why don’t we do the same with other aspects of our life? Why don’t we make this the positive feedback week!
Why am I going on about positive feedback you say? Well last week a new client came in to our office because he received a tax notice and wanted to get all his taxes up to date. He came in last Friday and sent me this email over the weekend:
“Thanks for taking care of my "emergency" return so fast. You did in 4 hours what my ex CPA couldn't do in 4 years. Your easy, calm insight, and a commanding knowledge of the system, combined with no drama or theatrics, made my experience there so pleasant. I appreciate that so much. All I was looking for was competence, yet I found expertise. A very pleasant surprise in this uncertain world. How often do you receive more than you were expecting these days? it's rare. You are "the man". Looking forward to all that lies ahead.”
I loved his email so much that I asked permission to share it. Pay it forward with positive feedback!
En 1999, Dani Karavan, sculpteur israélien né en 1930 à Tel Aviv et vivant entre Tel Aviv, Paris et Florence, y termine l’aménagement du Jardin du souvenir, dans la zone du « port intérieur », dans le cadre d’un projet urbain dont l’architecte en chef est Norman Foster. Karavan est connu pour avoir réalisé entre autres le Monument du Negev2 (1963-1968) et l’Axe majeur de Cergy-Pontoise (1980- ). Il a réalisé des sculptures environnementales (site specific) symboliques, dans une démarche et une pensée optimistes quant à leur impact social et politique potentiel.
Certains jardins contemporains sont conçus comme des « jardins philosophiques ». Pour le Jardin du souvenir (1999) à Duisburg, Dani Karavan a ancré son travail sur le thème de la mémoire, comme dans plusieurs de ses projets. Cette signification latente, par les symboles utilisés, s’allie au niveau perceptif, dans le cas de l’une des sculptures, à de multiples cadres sur l’environnement. Le sens de ces cadres peut être rapproché de la philosophie de l’histoire de Walter Benjamin, qui est une référence profonde de Dani Karavan.
Les « ruines » déposées par Karavan recréent un paysage familier de la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, reconstitué « artificiellement », en particulier devant la maison de retraite, dans un geste quelque peu provocateur. Ces restes s’apparentent aux « rebus de l’histoire » dont parle Walter Benjamin. Les ruines sont entreposées dans une des zones cadrées au sol par les chemins et également au fond d’une impasse, celle du Philosophenweg, comme si Karavan avait fait un tri, sur le modèle de la méthode d’historien de Benjamin : « D’un côté se trouve la partie "féconde", "pleine d’avenir", "vivante", "positive", de l’autre la partie inutile, arriérée et morte de cette époque. »
In 1999, Dani Karavan, an Israeli sculptor born in 1930 in Tel Aviv and living between Tel Aviv, Paris and Florence, completed the development of the Garden of Remembrance there, in the "inner port" area, as part of a project urban whose chief architect is Norman Foster. Karavan is known for having produced, among other things, the Negev2 Monument (1963-1968) and the Cergy-Pontoise Major Axis (1980- ). He has produced symbolic environmental sculptures (site specific), with an optimistic approach and thought regarding their potential social and political impact.
Some contemporary gardens are designed as “philosophical gardens”. For the Garden of Remembrance (1999) in Duisburg, Dani Karavan anchored his work on the theme of memory, as in many of his projects. This latent meaning, through the symbols used, is combined at the perceptual level, in the case of one of the sculptures, with multiple frames of the environment. The meaning of these frameworks can be compared to Walter Benjamin's philosophy of history, which is a deep reference of Dani Karavan.
The “ruins” deposited by Karavan recreate a familiar landscape of the end of the Second World War, reconstructed “artificially”, in particular in front of the retirement home, in a somewhat provocative gesture. These remains are similar to the “rebuses of history” of which Walter Benjamin speaks. The ruins are stored in one of the zones framed on the ground by the paths and also at the end of a dead end, that of the Philosophenweg, as if Karavan had made a sorting, on the model of Benjamin's method of historian: "D' one side is the "fruitful", "future", "alive", "positive" part, on the other the useless, backward and dead part of this time. »
Happy Memorial Day everybody. I made this sign earlier in hopes of starting a chain reaction of positive actions from others.
Here's a panorama of the Pink Marri Eucalyptus (Corymbia calophylla) that's currently flowering profusely in the gardens of the Belvidere Manor Hotel. You can easily see this tree from the other side of the Knysna estuary while driving along Lagoon Drive. It sticks out like a sore thumb!
I spent some time sitting on this bench yesterday, absorbing the natural energy of this remarkable tree, while thinking about Life, the Universe and Everything else (in between). How long has this tree been growing here and how many people have sat on this bench before me? Did they also feel a sudden jolt of positive energy as soon as they sat down? Why is it that spending time with trees often feels more rewarding to me than spending my time with (most) other people? Will this photo also be included in my next coffee-table photo-book about the most "Remarkable Trees in Urban Knysna"?
At this stage, I only know the answer to one of those questions.
