Ghosts of Feature Film: A Cinematography Project
This project is an experimental collaboration where shots were composed from a cinema standpoint, incorporating actors actually acting out scenes, in-character, instead of modeling or just being photographed. With Joseph Petito acting on-camera as the main star, I lensed different scenes from 7 films. Each sequence is part of that specific film's larger story, each film having it's own style and distinct types of shots & angles. We designed this project to create a cohesive cinematic illusion that these are real movie screenshots, but for movies that don't actually exist... hence Ghosts of Feature Film.

The problem with losing weight is that things that I thought would fit when I go thrift shop cruising turn out to be a little big. as is the case with dress. its fine for walking around but not very good for dancing in as things don't get held in place as they should.
Still my hair held up better than the dress did even if I do have a rather high forehead.
I actually like this look and I am a little disappointed about the dress but all is not lost as my wife is on a diet (hence my getting thinner) and the dress can go her way :-)
Makes a change.
Sucre's obitsu broke again ... So I played with her head and some ribbons again :D She looks like an easter egg haha
Absolute first world problems I know, but I had one, just one, of the purple bricks with curved top, so my poor racer is uneven.
Le sigh, off to bricklink I go.
Hey everyone, so sorry for the lack of new stuff lately. I was having some problems with Photoshop that made it unusable for about two months but it's finally working again :D
Anyway, I've made two new sets of eyebrows for you. The first set, Nova, I actually made a little while ago but never released. I made them when I was wearing my TMP mesh head because I couldn't find any brows that sat right on it so I made some to wear. They come both as tattoo layers as well as TMP installers, and they come in high and lower versions so you can get the right fit depending on which head and skin you're wearing. They come in 8 different colors and the tattoo layer versions are tintable so you can get the perfect shade.
The second set, Nyx, I made tonight, only comes on tattoo layers. I was going to make TMP installers for these as well, but the shape looked really bad onTMP heads so I opted not to. Anyway, these too come in 8 premade colors (including white if you want to tint them to some unnatural color or even leave them white), and are all fully tintable.
Both sets come with a few premade brow shapes for default avatar heads and as previously mentioned both sets are fully tintable (mod/copy/no transfer) except for TMP versions of course. They also require you to wear a skin without eyebrows, as there is no layer included to hide your skins painted brows.
And yes, I will make some for the LeLutka mesh heads once I can get my hands on a skin creator kit. :P
...that I don't have a problem.... but not enough time... :-)
This is Yarow, one of the Dogs from Zbyszek Kunert (PL). I was in Austria last weekend - Sled Dog Race in Sportgastein.
Unfortunately there was a storm on Saturday so only on Sunday the stage was opened for the race.
A lot of dogs of course, a lot of fun with great people.
I will miss this kind of action on the weekend for the next months. It was a great pleasure to be on those events with the mushers and the beautiful dogs
When trying to read on my sunny patio in the evening with a cool, refreshing drink, I too often get distracted by the sunlight and how it moves across my borders. Normally I just sit and stare, and wish I had my camera.
Yesterday, I actually moved and grabbed my camera. Really hoping it doesn't become a habit; i want to keep enjoying my evening reading.
The disposal of several Tridents over the summer has meant that the university day Red Line PVR is largely being single deck operated this year but has resulted in capacity problems requiring duplication. While the coaches provide good duplication in the AM peak there has yet to be a solution to the problems when the students finish in the afternoon.
Renown 62154 heads full for Garthdee as will the next Red Line 1.
Apologies for no commenting today. Problems with Flickr all day. Sometimes I can access my own page - but sometimes not even that. And no success with anyone else's page either. State of play this evening! Having to give up for the night. Maybe things will be working tomorrow - hopeful!

Managed a Blog post - so there's a nice photo out there ;o))
No problem if you're a gull, but after a couple of hours taking photographs, mine began to feel the chill...

A bad vacation start for this guy and his family - didn't pay the parking fee for their Eriba caravan.
The problem with things budding out in the middle of winter is we will get another hard freeze and the fruit trees will loose all their crops. It happened last year and looks very much like happening again this year. I'm missing winter!
Another shot from Marshall's Beach in San Francisco (last Sunday). While A sunset may be great to watch, without some other interesting element in the shot to pull you in a sunset photo usually isn't too interesting. So I was looking around the beach for something to catch my eye. The most interesting feature I spotted was this area right here where water drained from the adjacent hillside and around the beach back into the ocean. To give it a sense of exaggerated scale I got in close with my wide angle lens.
I also used a couple of grad ND filters to tame the sky and let the foreground expose a little more.
A couple problems I encountered (and didn't solve) were that in order to get the camera in close to the foreground I could barely get low enough to look in the viewfinder. I even managed to get crooked photos despite using a bubble level. Normally I wouldn't hesitate to lay down to look in the viewfinder, but with water flowing under the camera I thought it was a bad idea.
The second problem was one of a sinking tripod. Even though this exposure wasn't very long it seems to be long enough for the tripod to visibly sink and leave a nasty bit of vertical blur on this shot. It's a problem I've encountered before and if anyone has any tips on how to work with a tripod in wet sand... I'm all ears.

I am continuing my recent investigation of the old Boulder, Colorado railroad grade cut with aspirations of reaching Lefthand Canyon, Jamestown and Middle Park in the western slope of the Rockies. Realistically, the small problem of the continental divide gets in the way of that goal... but when does honesty ever get in the way of advertising or stock and bond sales. I once saw a wonderful sheet of bonds issued by the Denver Western RR. None were clipped. I've never seen bonds for the B,LH&MP, chuckle. If there are any, I'm sure they are pristine.
Here is my six stage, three layer pano from the abandoned prestressed concrete parking lot north of Boulder, Colorado along Highway #36. I made a stop there a week before but came away with several problems, even exact view point. I returned and found a better vantage spot to set up the podzilla. I used the longer zoom in landscape mode to image the entire territory of visible grade this pano covers with its six steps across the foothills. I had to include the tops of the hills. Atmospherics are starting to show in the distance. I had to abandon further work on the file because I hit the 2gig file size in the Photoshop I am using. My previous postings were made up the North Foothills Trail. I discovered that there were no historic markers up there relating the railroad grade's history. Tim Ostwald of Boulder and I found a reference in the Robert Ormes Colorado Railroads book. It was named Boulder, LeftHand, JamesTown and Middle Park Rail Road and Telegraph company in that source... but I found another error elsewhere in it.
Ah dreams of vast wealth. Realistically, miners opted for mills as close as possible to the mines in order to minimize the costs of (rail) transportation. Processed ore is far less a load than raw ore. I am posting the best captures of the traces I found. It is reasonably visible here on the trail north. This footpath follows the grade, as if trekkers know what are actually following. The path seems to follow the grade all the way to the former Beech Aircraft plant on Google maps. There, they built the Apollo fuel tanks. The B,LH&MP (also seen as B,LH,JT&MP) grade dropped from the northern Boulder bluff behind me where it was slowly gaining altitude from the south. Here, I wandered the footpath north until I found another revealing view. The trail along the route cuts across the foot hills dropping from the hogback and north toward Lefthand Canyon. Early on, Boulder and Longmont graded routes up Lefthand and thence James Canyon to the booming camp of Jamestown. Traces show most of the way into the mouth of the canyon. Longmont was an agricultural community while Boulder had rail access to mountain mining communities and may have had ore mills and smelters. Boulder would have been the more reasonable narrow gauge route to the booming Jamestown mining camp.
The old grade of the Boulder, Left Hand, Jamestown & Middle Park Railroad and Telegraph Company (whew) can be seen much if the way from north Boulder, along #36 on the foothills to the west of the highway north from Boulder, Colorado to where it turns into Lefthand Canyon near the Greenbriar Restaurant. I spotted traces into the canyon for a short stretch. Obviously, they fell far short of their goal of Jamestown let alone Middle Park, Colorado which would have entailed an impossible crossing of the Continental Divide. Cutting tunnels always slows when granite is hit. And it fell short of its goal of Jamestown (and/or Ward), Colorado. The lower canyon pinches tightly below the confluence. It did achieve the Left Hand River Valley and through the very best of fortunes retained, rails were never laid on the grade. The canyons uphill from Jamestown are a choice of bad and a much worse grades. They lost just a fraction of the investment they easily could have.
Not a traditional documentary macro shot...but a bit more dramatic.

From the twilight dimension of unanticipated consequences: It is easy to change the upload date to move a photo around in one's stream. However, I've discovered that if a photo is added, then the date is changed...and subsequently it is changed again, it causes a problem. Yes, all of the information is saved; tags, comments, faves, etc.
BUT...the Camera Lens Compare Award Counter can no longer find the photo. Since counting awards is pretty essential for participation in tiered groups, and sometimes those graphics can cover several pages, the automated counter is more important that being able to send the pics around the stream.
Lesson learned.
Mousehole, on the Penwith peninsula in the far west of Cornwall, is a delightful little fishing village which has become largely reliant on the tourist industry. Although we think that the threat from the Spanish was defeated when the Armada had its famous problems in 1588, the Spanish continued to threaten these shores. Mousehole was one of several villages and small towns razed to the ground by a Spanish raiding party in 1595. The harbour is much older than that, and parts of it date back to before the medieval era although the present buildings surrounding it date from around the 18th century onwards.
Spider problem? Not here, not now.
My nocturnal top predator has hung about. Why wouldn't they? I'm a good host, providing commodious accommodation and an all you can eat buffet. In return this gorgeous little huntsman with their spec-fabulous striped stockings is cleaning up all the messy hairy-legged daddy-long-legs spider, Pholcus phalangioides. They make untidy webs, are foreign, introduced spiders and never, ever volunteer to do good works.
Nope, I don't have a spider problem. I have a spider problem solver!
Rollei SL66E Fomapan200 diafine (3+3)
Pelicula fomapan 200 revelada con diafine y el resultado es este. ¿Alguien le ha pasado esto alguna vez? Las manchas estan en todo el negativo, inlcuso en la parte no expuesta. Otro dato curioso es que carecia de numeros y de marca de pelicula.
Fomapan 200 developed in diafine (3+3) Can anyone tell me what could be the problem? The strange spots are all over the negative even in the unexposed parts.Another curious thing is that the film doesn´t have any numbers or film maarks.
Thanks in advance

My 12 year old SUV went in for a standard service this week. "Leave it with us Sir. Be ready in 2 hours for you".
Only there was a problem. They had to order a part and it wouldn't arrive until the next day.
Major problem for me as I had a journey of 80 miles planned that very evening. "No problem Sir. Let me see what I can do for you".
"We do have a car you can borrow overnight Sir. It's a six speed, racing red, turbo charged sports car. Would that be acceptable to you?".
I swallowed hard and managed to say, "That will do nicely thank you."
I folded myself into the low slung beastie and have never had such a big grin on my face. The car was fantastic and exhilarating to drive. I only had one problem with it. If I owned it, I would lose my licence in a week.
The lightest touch on the accelerator pedal (compared to my ancient, automatic SUV) would send it screaming like a red and black demonic banshee into the dark night. It was fabulous and it was a huge treat.
Strangely, my boringly planned, "there and back" journey of 80 miles suddenly became 120 miles of exhilarating driving pleasure and mysterious detours on twisty, winding roads.
This curvy, little red demon went round corners like she was on rails.
I reluctantly returned the keys the following day (grinning from ear to ear) and put that one down to a red letter day experience to be repeated ad nauseum in the Old Folks Home, when that day finally comes to me.
Like Jenny Joseph, who sadly died this week, I'm going to "wear purple" when that time of my life eventually comes a'calling.
Jenny Joseph's poem - "WARNING".
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
Jenny Joseph wrote this poem when she was 29 years old.
Hi Everyone,
