With an increasing abundance of unemployed shark fodder over the horizon the press gangs are back in business, only this time with a neo-romantic persuasiveness.
They are seen here texting the sailors just to find out what’s on their seasick minds.

Gwen Frostic used these Heidelberg presses to print her work. At the Gwen Frostic studio. ...internationally known noted printmaker and watercolorist Gwen Frostic (1906-2001).Outdoor enthusiasts love Benzie County.... Near Benzonia, visit the studio of Gwen Frostic, where you can watch 15 Heidelberg presses printing......
So glad to be shooting more film. Finally got a few rolls developed and it's like Christmas day! This time I tried out some Fujifilm for the first time. Superia 400 in this case. I like the results but 24 exposures is too few, I perfer 36. Anyways i like the color that this film has but in some cases the images are just stronger in black and white. I may still post the color versions up but not at this time.
Camera: Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta III (531/16)
Lens: Novar Anastigmat f/3.5 75 mm, yellow filter
Film: Kodak TMax 400
Exposure: 1/200 sec and f/11, hand-held
Film developed and scanned by MeinFilmLab

Ever since buying this new garlic press I'd toyed with the idea of shooting it as an abstract. There was simply something in its proportions, lines, textures, and metallic sheen that hinted at the possibilities.
Lit by shooting one studio strobe through a large white diffusion screen in order to generate that broad highlight. Fuji ACROS film simulation provided the very deep blacks.
The one in flight came to rescue the one sitting from me :)
It landed straight on the one sitting and made it fly away...
Great couple protecting each other !

On the boundary. Once again I am drawn to the local cricket club's Saturday afternoon match, just not to extent of shooting any pictures of the action. I should do really, I just need a longer lens and good anticipation of the (occasionally) wayward batting. Oh, and definitely leave the dog at home...

Note: I just started my fall semester (yeah, it seems school never ends) so it's been a little bit hectic. Here is a quick picture from my collection. Enjoy.

The sugar mill at Sugar Mill Gardens is one of the most well preserved in the nation. Though the building has fallen into ruin and decay, much of the machinery used to press the sugar cane is still intact, like this huge roller press. Looking at it makes me not take so for granted the little luxuries we have now. It was once quite an ordeal to produce what people needed.
The Industrial Age brought some of this mechanization into play, but imagine just how difficult it would be to work in a place with no electricity, no air conditioning, and bubbling cauldrons and furnaces to make things work in what can often be well over 95 degree heat in the Summer. Add in the heat index from humidity and the extra heat from those fires, and the people refining the sugar in this mill would have had to endure temperatures in excess of 110 degrees. In our modern society, it is almost incomprehensible.
Of course, the average worker in the old South wanted nothing to do with those conditions, either, so the plantation owner would use slaves, in this case, about 25 of them, to do this miserable work. This gives new understanding of the term, "slave labor". No matter how bad most of us have it anymore, it still isn't like what these people had to endure!
America's past is checkered with both the remarkable advancements brought about by its great inventors, and the cruelty of greedy manufacturers who used people like animals. We've come a long way in 200 years, but places like this are a reminder of a time, not so long ago, when the easy life for some was paid for by the blood, sweat and tears of others. So, we press on...
An interesting contrast for the hypothesis of 'warm water forms' (see past posts), as here we have remnants of a press of a size that seems adapted for a croft that was known to have been used between the neolithic and the early medieval years: Mas Viel, Aveyron.
The size of the press is big enough to take several litres of fruit at a time (also perhaps berries, acorns and nuts, pigments, roots and so on), and this would seem to be a sensible capacity for a small croft on soils that are varied to thin. Too large a press surface, and much is either lost to the wind, rain or evaporation; the site becomes too attractive for flies, and too difficult to constantly clean. A good rhythm and a modest sized press can convert many items in a relatively short period that is manageable and adapted for rural sites away from ideas of conglomeration or early city.
This is a modest monolith, probably for local use and positioned down a slope - so neither by the river or on the hill top. This specific basin resembles a 'warm water form' in much the same way that today a television can look like a microwave oven. Below the press are two stones. One is probably the impact surface and the other a slideable counterweight. Wood frame and ropes are missing.
Weights for presses are relatively common and when the bedrock is close to the surface it may not have been obliged for all presses to use monolithic basins, with wood and tough basket being viable alternatives. Counter-weight presses would become screw presses in some parts.

After returning to the site I no longer see the two associated stones as being to do with this basin.
