The week's challenge is a redo of last week's. Take something previously posted and present it in a new way.
Positively no parking day or night, citizen. Seen while wandering around behind some buildings in Ithaca.
The "positively no" construction always seems so self-contradictory. I almost only ever see it on signs forbidding parking or trespassing.
Google Ngram shows the first usage in the 1870s, a huge spike in usage and an equally precipitous decline in the early- to mid-1960s, and almost no usage since 1991.
It is where the world ends at one of its edges at the Kanyakumari that you'll find the two giants of knowledge and wisdom. Vivekanand Rock Memorial and Thiruvalluvar Statue seen from a distance surrounded by nothing but the the vastness of ocean and limitless sky.
Got some nice tones in this cylinder pinhole.

Experimental
trying out a new arrangement for digitalizing Kodacolor print film from 1974, Big Bend National Park save but one of these images. These negatives were never printed and are being viewed in positive form for the first time.
Preliminary image conversion using original Konica bellows and slide duplicator mounted on a tripod per earlier upload. Color balance may be too old to correct to proper hue. Slide copied from one taken on Tenerife, Canary Islands for comparison. Now have better technique for cleaning negative and slide before duplication plus fine tuning equipment will be imperative to achieve greater resolution including focus. Meanwhile, it's an interesting experiment using the Sony a7Riii to digitalize film. Perhaps the images will work better as straight up B&W shots.

Still pursuing SLOW PHOTOGRAPHY with my 4x5 cameras whenever I can... This is a test shot of Leciel, a wonderful model I had the pleasure to work with last week. Shot on Fuji 100c instant film with an 80 years old camera and lens, I intentionally slightly underexposed the POSITIVE (on the left) in order to get my intended grungy look in the NEGATIVE by hand washing it in bleach and other secret and highly poisonous concoctions....
a series I did for my Problem Solving Final that deals with my daily effort to stay positive about my body.
Accidental Direct Positive from Kodak 2383. I shot some 2383 and tried to push it to ISO 12 (from 1.5). Shot it as 12 and developed it as B&W hoping that might do the trick. I push processed in H&W Control 1:14, since that is a very active developer. 16 minutes development (instead of 12) 100 degrees F instead of 68 F and continuous agitation. stopped and fixed at 100F as well. Fixed with Ilford hypam 1:4. Strangely some of the frames developed completely positive, and some were positive foreground with negative whites and lights. You can see here some of the mix. Not a lot of depth or contrast which could just be the underexposure (3 stops). Took me a few minutes to realize what was going on,. Definitely worth experimenting some more. Again these are direct positive, there was no reversal here and no partial editing. You can see here where I flipped / inverted entire pictures which was cool and weird no matter how you did it. I think what happened is a combination of active developer, the very thin emulsion which is not very light sensitive - relatively, and then the underexposure. Anyway have fun with these and try it yourself. I want to do this with 16mm movie and see what comes of it.

I love shooting new, unusual film stocks. One of the more unusual stocks that I hand-roll for our Film Photography Project on-line store is a scientific lab film by Svema. We call this low contrast, low ISO film "BW Super Positive" because the film produces a black and white positive when processed using normal BW chemistry.

A few days ago, I decided to give in to my curiosity about the lab results my super-awesome1 rheumatologist ordered when I went in for my sweat hiatus.2 The checkout slip had my login details for that office’s EMR on it, so I went to check it out.
Aside from finding out how truly abysmal the office’s record keeping skills are—my medicine, surgery, & allergy lists were inaccurate, he claimed he prescribed my Effexor, he was consulting with a doctor I haven’t seen in 6-7 years about my case, he had 4 visits total listed, even though there have been at least 12-16 visits, old lab reports were missing, old prescription data from drugs he’d prescribed was missing—I found out that he had a “plan of care” that revolved around telling me how fat I am3 and how I need to start exercising.4 I also found out that he thinks I’ve been on my Flexeril too long. I’m fairly certain that I pointed that little issue out about two or three years ago when I asked him to try something else because the Flexeril had become ineffective. But hey, it’s just my body, what do I know? I would claim that I felt incredulous,5 but I can’t fake my disbelief over his ridiculous & somewhat terrifying antics. Seven years of this same old bullshit just wears a girl out.6
But this isn’t supposed to be about his incompetence. This is supposed to be about lab results. Tell me what your first reaction would be to these results.
Notice anything odd about them?
There are no units of measure listed on the ANA test. And the way the “normal range” section is phrased sounds like anything above 120 or below 100 is bad. Think again.
I had to search for an explanation of these results harder than a Disney prince has to search a magical forest for a barely legal future wife to take home to his dysfunctional family.
And I found one.
Sort of.
Apparently, the range should read like this:
Negative: Below 100
Equivocal: 100-120
Positive: Above 120
So I tested positive for the ANA Qualitative Test, the SSA (Ro) antibodies test, and the Scl-70 test. That could indicate: Lupus, Sjögren’s, Scleroderma, MCTD, UCTD, etc. It could also be a fluke because truly healthy people can have positive readings on these tests, and people diagnosed with them can have negative ones. So I’m not worrying too much about that.
I’m a bit more concerned with my CBC because my platelet volume was almost too low, while my platelet count was close to the upper limit. Combine that with an increase in red blood cells and you’ve got a warning that the anemia isn’t far from striking. I guess that explains why I’ve felt more down & out, and why my body has gone into the “I’m dying” feeling that accompanies the anemia. I’m going to get the rheumatologist to forward that part of the labs to my hematologist, to make sure waiting to the end of the year for my tests + infusions is still safe.
I really dread the infusions, but they’re part of my life now. I will just have to deal.
at forgetting ↩
The thing that’s potentially fatal, but that my rheumatologist is all blasé about. Who needs sweaty pits and tits in 90-100°F humid, summertime-in-Alabama weather? Oh, right, everyone. ↩
16 points of a 23 point list ↩
Because telling a doctor that you’re concerned that a 45-minute, 1.8 mile walk in 85°F+ didn’t cause you to sweat and that the overheating was limiting your exercise choices doesn’t get the message across that you’re actually exercising. ↩
Not a Disney movie title adjective, though it could be. ↩
A girl has no name. ↩

We can see this picture from two angles..
First one is Negative angle.. which says :
The most difficult thing in human life is to have a burning candle in the depths of his hearts.
Second one is Positive angle.. which says :
What a wonderful to have a Candle That lights our hearts
The question here is which one do you choose ?

Using a cameraphone to view negatives ...
I've been meaning to write this trick up as a mini tutorial, but for now this little example will have to do.
Occassionally I'll be looking at a negative and want to get a quick feel for what it looks like. In the case of the image here, it was brought in by a visitor to the Who Do You Think You Are? Live show where I was working dating old photographs.
The trick is simple: on your cameraphone (or on most 'point and shoot' digital cameras) put the camera in 'negative' mode. This is often found in the 'options' or 'effects' menu. You'll see that the hand and all background objects (including the white sheet of paper it is being viewed against) now look odd, but the image itself is good enough for viewing.

I went for a walk along the seafront yesterday in search of one of one of the 30 yellow benches that have been placed across Kuwait by the Alnowair foundation, which aims to encourage people to come up with constructive solutions to environmental challenges Kuwait faces, rather than just complaining. The benches are place all around the country, mostly in the city of Kuwait, and I'm going to try to find and photograph at least 10 of them over the weeks leading up to the holy month of Ramadan (which is around when it gets uncomfortably hot here).
PS That's the Arabian Gulf in the background - had to point that out as I still find it so exotic to think that this is where I'm living!
ODC - Lost/Found (it took a lot of wondering up and down to find this as it wasn't where I'd expected it to be and I suspect that's going to be true of the next 9 benches too).

Apologies to all my wonderful contacts for lack on comments and visits on my part, but real life is constantly intruding and posting and running is all I'm able to manage these past few months. I do try to visit your photostreams regularly, but I'm afraid that a "fave" is all I'm managing of late - so sorry!
