me likey.

I thought I'd post a "before and after". This is Kodak Ektachrome Tungsten 160, expired in 1978, cross processed. I've used a couple of rolls of this in various cameras and under different lighting conditions. I like these results best so far. In daylight it skewed purple: www.flickr.com/photos/graustark/2499607920/

If you look at the just-scanned version, you can see it started out very red.

I have replaced the image with a brighter one. The first image looked ok on my screen but was way too dark on all other screens...

I wouldn't do this for their book, but I was playing with making the background less central. Voila, my artificial snoot. Eh.

I wanted to upload something too to thank my friend Zoe for writing me such a wonderful testimonial. I haven't been able to really produced much of what I've wanted lately, and it's really meant a lot to have everyone's kind words lately, I still don't feel like they're merited, especially from such esteemed photographers...seriously, each of the people who've taken the time to write on my behalf have skills I look up to. So, thank you Zoe! Seriously people, check out her masks, they're awesome.

in the process of making this coat. this is a 'pinned' trial run to learn how to make it, using a cotton/polyester sheet bought from a local charity shop £3. i downloaded the pattern. however when i started to make it yesterday i had no instructions. i was sure i had read them when i first downloaded the pattern but i searched and nothing :(

i worked on it yesterday, took it apart this morning, had another go and this is as far as i've got ...

my mantra is 'front to front', but i've ended up with a 'back' facing section at the front!

i'll take it apart again tonight, with each attempt something falls into place but this coat could take some time !

irst attempt flic.kr/p/2p5pjSx couldn't find the instructions

second attempt flic.kr/p/2p5Lj5m a very bad day! no idea :(

third attempt flic.kr/p/2p5UQ9W an improvement

fourth and final attempt flic.kr/p/2pfCoFU assembled and machined

the coat flic.kr/p/2pgnJRW

i've yet to buy the fabric for the finished coat. i'll be making sure it doesn't have a pattern and an added bonus would be if front and back of the fabric were the same:)

UPDATE!

i've just found the pattern instructions www.sewmag.co.uk/free-sewing-patterns/serena-wool-coat#lo...

Three shades of change spotted in a field in the English countryside.

Myosotis (from the Greek: "mouse's ear") is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae that are commonly called Forget-me-nots. Its common name was calqued from the French, "ne m'oubliez pas" and first used in English in c.1532.

There are approximately fifty species in the genus, with much variation. A considerable number of the species have small (1 cm diameter or less) rather flat, 5-petalled blue flowers growing profusely on straggly stems, flowering in spring. Color variation is somewhat frequent within species, and white or pink forms are common. They are popular in gardens, and cultivated forms often show a mixture of colours. Forget-me-nots prefer shade.

This is the same photo as the previous post but processed in Topaz's Black & White Effects. After that, I added a texture from ifdezelle. Having seen others use textures such as this, I thought I'd give it a try. I think it works, at least to some degree, as I like it better than the original, below. What are your thoughts?
