#project150
A year-long photography challenge.
From the briefing post on dyxum.com (www.dyxum.com/dforum/photo-150-a-yearlong-photo-challenge...).
It is a combination of three open photo topics of your own choosing. Three sets of 50x things spread through the year. The idea is to create one new photo each week per topic throughout 2021. This is similar to a 365 and is about living photography. Take an adventure down a new photo avenue and/or trawl your archive.
I want to dive into my archive as there are photos from trips in the last few years that I haven't properly reviewed yet.
Recent discussion about the 21:9 (or strictly, 64:27) aspect ratio has interested me, but I don't know if I can sustain it for a year. However, I do like making panoramas, so I might broaden the theme to aspect ratios wider than 16:9.
Finally, I do enjoy using old tech and, as I tend to hang on to cameras when I upgrade, I think I can pursue things a little there. I’ll call this vintage digital, but as Dyxum is for A- and E-mount cameras I’ll be putting photos taken with my NEX-3, NEX-7, A100, A900, or A7 cameras (for the latter mostly the nearly-obsolete Play Memory Camera Apps) into this category, so I’ll be dealing with crop- and full-frame sensors in both formats.
In summary
1. Archive photos from past trips
2. Ultra wide photos, aspect ratio >16:9
3. Vintage digital
The photograph above, my week 0 picture, brings all three themes together in one shot, taken on a NEX-3 with 16mm E F2.8 lens in a market in Lima in April 2012 and cropped to the ultra wide 64:27. aspect ratio.
Project Gemini capsule, this was the first space project I followed (in elementary school). I remember once I persuaded my Mom to let me stay home from school (third grade) so I could watch a launch on TV. I think it was Gemini VI-A (15 December 1965) which was going up to rendezvous with Gemini VII, which was a critical technology to go to the moon. As a kid, I figured in fifty years we would explore the entire solar system. While the world has had some good success with robotic exploration, I still think there is so much more to explore.
After spending much of my working career as an engineer, now I am learning biology, another frontier. Of course, I am excited by the synthesis of space and biology - astrobiology. I hope to live to see another form of life discovered somewhere in our solar system.

The cabin we are staying at has a little gated garden. I was unable to unlatch the gate so I had to take pictures through the fence. I took this picture in the morning before we left.
I shot this with my cellphone and the light of a table lamp, with daylight from the window behind her.

I got this table (today!) from Macy's. It'/s really nice because you can tuck all sorts of things onto the shelving units on each side. It is counter height, so I can work long periods of time without hurting my back. (I'm a stand-up worker). The shelving on each side is on wheels and can be moved away from the table, should I ever decide I want to do that.

The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining omes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
Our heat, hot water and oven have been out since yesterday. It is, shall we say, fucking COLD, in our large, drafty loft apartment.
Today, I am rocking my Grape Suit, mitts by the lovely Gwen, a shawl by the fabulous Ann, shearling slippers, SmartWool socks, two blankets and a giant pot of tea.
And since there's no hot water, no need to shower! There are perks to being unemployed.
Today, I plan to spend most of the day knitting, then meeting up with a buddy at a coffee shop for some job applications. Good day.
In early 2002, in a justified act of revenge, I stole my friend Andrea Zink's bra. You know, that fleshy, beige-coloured bra all girls own for under white or sheer tops.
I began a campaign to photograph as many friends, acquaintances and even family in the bra. Then I sent the photos to people I knew around the globe with as a postcard template which they printed out and mailed back to Andrea, convincing her that her bra was on a walkabout around the world—torturing her from each locale.
Andrea hated it. One day, figuring I must've been the cause of all this, she marched into my office and threw a particular postcard (#002 to be precise) at my head and yelled "Make it stop!"
I did not.
This animations was produced for the Smithsonian Institution's HoloGlobe Exhibit which opened to the public on August 10, 1996 at the Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC. The various data sets show progressive global change mapped onto a rotating globe and projected into space to create a holographic image of the Earth.

I am so excited that i finally got my 1st batch of 366 books in! They came out so great this year and i couldnt be any happier! The Book is 380 pages and is 8X10 Hardcover Image wrapped and has all 366 photos and all write ups and descriptions to each photo in the book as well as i few bonus images at the end! I cant believe what an amazing year it was and that i actually completed this mission. It makes me feel so proud to hold this book and look over what 2012 was to me just all those sleepless nights trying to create these images. I really appreciate all the support over the year to everyone who followed along Project 366 and for all the great comments and fedback. Its little things like those random words that helped give me motivation throughout the year and you all inspired these photos in some way or another. Thanks again everyone.

Previous FB Write up from early last week
In case you were wondering what Project 366 was last year in 2012 leap year where i took one photo everyday for the whole year. It was such a crazy year and i really had so much fun taking all those photos. This 366 book will be super big 8X10 in size and is a hardcover image wrapped book with here we go "380"pages" It gonna be so big and has all 366 photos and each photo has its own full page in the book with all write ups and descriptions on the photos. I really wish i could of found some company to sponsor this book as it will cost me 105 dollars my cost with the shipping.. i have to pay 105 for each book .but its 380 pages so i was gonna try and sell it for at least $125 dollars which only leaves me 20 dollar profit per book--
So i was thinking $140 or $150 per book if people want to pay that -Its so hard to sell art and i wish i could make this book for less but i just cant-It seems expensive at 140 dollars a book but there is 380 pages and that works out to about 36 cents per page per photo. As well i put at least over 1200 hours throughout the year taking all these photos and all the write ups and then making this book -- -Unless some company wants to sponsor me and my 366 book for 10,000 dollars? Ha! --Then i have to sell it for at least 125(or more if you would like to pay the 140 or 150) but if you want a 366 Book and only have 125 thats fine with me :) -Im just happy people actually wanna buy my book.If you wanna pay 140 or 150 thats also fine with me :)
So thats where im at as i write this I really am super proud of this accomplishment and cant wait to show everyone ----So if you would like a 366 copy and would like to order a book that would be great. Just let me know, and i can get that to you soon--Thanks again everyone.
P.S I can also ship anywhere in the world --
Shipping minimum in Canada is about 12 dollars in Ontario and about 22 dollars to out west like BC or Alberta
Shipping to the United States is about 25 dollars for the east and about 30 for the west states like California
Europe is about 40-45 dollars
Its cause the book weighs almost 5 pounds and so big
This is another one of my daughter's hot chocolate mugs, on the other side it says: "Follow your dreams...you never know where they may lead you." We all have dreams inside, things we're passionate about, things we'd love to do, something we'd love to share with others, but it can be so scary to let that dream out into the light and live it. So follow your dreams...live it even if it doesn't always go right, life is about learning, about stepping out and trying something new.
"The ninety and nine are with dreams, content but the hope of the world made new, is the hundredth man who is grimly bent on making those dreams come true."
Edgar Allan Poe
17 / 50 : And now, something completely different...
The problem with "day-by-day" project like this one is that, some days, you just have NO IDEAS.
I always say creativity is a muscle, and I deeply believe so, but I have to accept the idea that on some days is gonna be sore.
Today, was one of those days.
So, instead of going through that vortex of self pity and depression that usually leads to a mediocre self portrait, I decided to play as the good scholar and do homework instead : in this case, trying a new lighting setup that I know for sure i'm gonna use very soon for another photo.
I spent a good half hour trying to position the two strobes exactly the way I wanted for a symmetrical double rim light and then, simply placed a HUGE silver reflector in the hands of my DODGY roommate, a cigarette in his mouth and BAM!
Voilà! Liked it a lot right away!
This is Andrea, or as we call it, "il Nero"

I liked the playmovil big figures on the first story of this shop. After trying to get a good photo of them with my 35mm lense without success I ended up with this shoot.
The next round of Project Spectrum is set and ready to go! I am so excited to introduce the new theme. Based on the compass rose and the cardinal directions, we will explore the colors that are traditionally associated with the points on the compass.
This year, we will base the exploration around FOUR colors - one for each direction - and participants can combine and mix these colors with any other color. Each direction is also traditionally linked to a natural material, and you can choose to work with these materials for your projects, e.g. glass beads, wooden buttons, metal pins, etc. For deeper interpretation, you can also choose to incorporate the related seasons and elements into your creative projects.
NORTH (March/April)
Color: Green
Material: Stones/Gems/Rocks
Season: Winter
