Photographers, I've seen these simple flash cap diffusers used for years. I never wanted one. Not until I saw this "green" one that I figured I could use to match my daylight flash to the ambient fluorescent in an office.
However, this particular one is way too green and blue, and that yellow one doesn't match the flash to ambient tungsten light very well, either.
I may be better off just taping Rosco gel scraps onto my flash and bouncing off the ceiling.
What has your experience been?

In answer to a question about this book. Sometimes wordy, but often humorous.
"Brier-Patch Philosophy" by "Peter Rabbit." As interpreted by William J. Long and illustrated by Charles Copeland. William Long copyrighted in 1905, Ginn and Company printed in 1906.
Melancolies questions the possibility of resistance against mythologies of the body which build our identities today.
These self-portraits have been (re)created with the help of digital manipulation. By substituting my features for those of top models in women’s magazines, I (re)create figures with transient identities, inscribed in a hesitant reality.
Taking such action is a product of pure instinct, of immediate, unthinking admiration for those perfect faces, irresistibly western, fashioned and modelled by successive norms orchestrated by the media. I project indications of those prefabricated genders to on my own face, thus fulfilling the fantasy of any advertising executive and finally completing the infinite power of the brand.
This series is composed of two parts which permit me to explore the mechanics of sexual differentiation operated by these standardised images. Firstly, the impeccably made-up lips and eyes, accessory smiles (and other pre-set expressions) reveal the image of a subdued and available woman, reified into a seductive icon.
Secondly, there is the manly geometry of faces, the dark looks and the affirmed head-on confrontation of bodies which define myths of an exaggerated masculinity and put the man back in his patriarchal role of protector.

Interview
Sanan Aleskerov, the “biophile” photographer
One of the features that make photography particularly interesting is that it is halfway between informative documentary and artistic creation. It is this bivalency that makes it so enriching, in particular when the photographs in question reflect the life of a country such as Azerbaijan.
Sanan Aleskerov is one of the towering figures of Azerbaijani photography. Here he tells us of his career up until now and gives us his point of view on photographic creation in Azerbaijan and the rest of the world. For Aleskerov, only truth must be predominant in art…
The learning years
Sanan Aleskerov was born in Baku in 1956. With a smile, he adds that he has always lived here and always will. After graduation from the school of journalism, he joined the TASS news agency as a photographer. After a year and a half, he decided to leave this job and give up documentary photography in order to turn to artistic photography. During his brief experience as a photographer-journalist, Aleskerov had been, like all his colleagues, subject to orders from the State. In Soviet society, there were very clear dividing lines between what was “good” and what was “evil”. This made the ever-present censorship oppressive and therefore unbearable for the young photographer.
The famous Azerbaijani photographer says that he has never benefited from any real training, despite his university education. He was given his first camera at the age of 12: it was a birthday gift from his mother. For a long time, the camera was barely every used. He was bitten by the photography bug during his military service. Like many other young conscripts, Sanan Aleskerov read pornographic magazines. The photos of naked women fascinated him because of the aesthetics of the lines, the curves, the colors and the interplay of light and shadow. The young man then chose to pursue his interest in photographic art by reading specialist reviews, many of which came from abroad (Czechoslovakia, United States, etc.). It is for this reason that Aleskerov regards himself as self-taught. Moreover, artistic photography as a discipline was not taught at university and was indeed almost banned in the Soviet Union.
Teacher-photographer
Today, Sanan Aleskerov’s renown is international. He has traveled widely and presented exhibitions all over the world. Having said that, over the last ten years or so, he has been participating steadily less in this kind of international event. He explains that his photos are somewhat out of place when compared to what is currently fashionable. He has taken to getting his pleasure from transmitting his know-how to the younger generations, through a workshop he runs and in which he gives private lessons.
His work method is based on a total freedom of action. For him, the photographer must be guided by spontaneity, must be able to make the most of the little things that life throws up. Aleskerov never plans his work, never functions on the basis of a project. The themes are born of themselves. Often photos taken on the spur of the moment remain something of a mystery for the photographer himself. Then, with time, the artist finds the key to interpret the images, these little vignettes of life.
Nowadays, the University of Baku provides real courses in photography, but they are still somewhat basic and are not very popular, because photographic art is still an expensive pleasure… The training provided by Sanan Aleskerov is classical in nature. He believes that the basics are primordial and that solid technical and historical competence is essential for the budding professional. Even the Soviet period should not be set aside. It gave rise to a tradition, whether good or bad, but which is now an integral part of the contemporary reality and one that must not remain hidden. For some time, there was a photography school, linked to the school of journalism, and a great many photographers were trained there. It is these photographers who provided all the material for the photographic reviews and publications. Even though the general tendency was ideological, and therefore more oriented towards documentary and social aspects, some experimentation went on, and technical advances were made. Aleskerov played a huge part in this non-official reflection.
A quest for truth…
When Aleskerov left the TASS news agency, he soon joined up with artists looking out for a new form of artistic expression. Informal circles were created, and saw the creation of a number of projects that were innovative for Azerbaijan. This type of artistic circle is still in existence and Aleskerov is only too happy to continue to play a part. In particular, he has joined the “Labyrinth” artists’ collective, run by Azerbaijani artist Sabina Shikhlinskaya. He committed himself to this adventure because he felt first of all that “Labyrinth” would act as a channel for the creative inspiration of the upcoming generation of artists and secondly that it would look at subjects that were important to him, such as the environment and refugees. Alongside this, by becoming more involved in local artistic activities and pursuing his own work within the same paradigm, he has come to see the “void” that is so integral to major international events. This meeting of personalities suddenly seemed to him to be nothing but a “bourgeois salon” where he was simply out of place…
During the ten years of perestroika, photography ceased to be of much interest to most people. Political upheaval and wars became the maid fodder for television bulletins and the press. Purely documentary photography did not suffer in the same way, but the photography that had kept closer ties with its artistic tradition struggled to make an impact. Gradually, this tendency was reversed. Weary of the horrors of war, many photographers began to search for another form of truth, something with a broader horizon. That is not to say that the representation of death or misery disappeared completely, simply that the means by which these themes were dealt with changed considerably. This was particularly the case for Sanan Aleskerov who, since the beginning of his career, has been on a quest for Truth. The reality of the world we live in must be represented with emotion and sincerity. Aleskerov recounts how he took many photographs of particularly tragic scenes, the burials of war victims for example. Each time, he looked through both lens and tears.
The quest for the True or more precisely the authentic is something that Aleskerov feels is missing in so-called “Western creation”. This is a tradition with a strong interest in the macabre, so much so that it has become a dominant theme of reflection. Aleskerov combats both this taste for “necrophilia” and the system that seeks to standardize art. In his view, the “biophile” approach is the only productive one, because it is a true reflection of life, it transmits the very essence of human existence. The photo may represent a corpse, but this image must give off a pure sense of authenticity by being a part of human reality. Against the standardization, and therefore the globalization of art, Aleskerov proposes a “sideways look” at the world. To do so means being free and aware of one’s choices and desires. This required the development of an inner strength. This artist-photographer has found his by burning towards religion, or more precisely towards God, because he claims not to belong to any church.

U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill listened to ideas and concerns, and answered questions from Missourians today at a public town hall meeting in Hannibal—one of eight public town halls she is holding across the Show-Me state this week.
McCaskill has hosted public town hall meetings in Missouri throughout her time in the U.S. Senate.
“One of the most important parts of my job is listening to Missourians about their ideas and concerns, getting their input, and holding myself accountable face-to-face,” said McCaskill, who grew up in rural Missouri. “I wanted the folks at today’s town hall, and across the state, to know that the people they elected to represent them truly hear them, and stand ready to take their ideas to Washington on how to combat the scourge of sex trafficking, ensure access to affordable health care, and prevent drastic budget cuts—including those that would impact the very building we were in today.”
McCaskill is hosting eight public town halls this week in Buchanan County, Callaway County, Greene County, Jefferson County, Marion County, New Madrid County, Phelps County, and Platte County.
Public town halls with Missourians have been a hallmark of McCaskill’s time in the Senate, including tours across the state. During debate over the Affordable Care Act—at a time of heightened demonstrations against the law—McCaskill held a series of highly publicized town halls, including in traditionally conservative areas of Missouri, to hear directly from Missourians about their concerns and respond to criticisms. In 2014, McCaskill logged more than 1,000 miles around the state on her “McCaskill on Main Street” series of public town halls.
McCaskill has also toured the state with town halls aimed at military veterans and seniors—and has hosted individual town halls, such as one she hosted last year with then-U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack focused on the opioid epidemic.

Virginia National Guard field artillery Soldiers explain the capabilities of the M119A2 howitzer, answer questions about the Guard and take part in a demonstration of 400 years of Virginia artillery during the Military Through the Ages event March 21, 2015, at the Jamestown Settlement in Williamsburg, Va. Hundreds of re-enactors portrayed military organizations from Roman times, the medieval period, Hundred Years’ War, War of the Roses, French and Indian War, American Revolution, War of 1812 and American Civil War as well as World Wars I and II, the Vietnam War and the Falklands War with Soldiers from the Hampton-based Battery B, 1st Battalion, 111th Field Artillery, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team representing the modern military. The event also gave the Soldiers the opportunity to train on crew drills and fire blank ammunition to improve their proficiency to prepare for live-fire training scheduled for their April drill weekend. The Virginia National Guard traces the heritage and traditions of citizen service to the founding of the Jamestown Settlement May 14, 1607, where Capt. John Smith organized a militia to defend the colony. There has not been a day since without a military presence in Virginia to defend freedom at home and overseas.

Had a male Northern Cardinal in the yard today with some interesting coloration. Face, bill and crest were the usual reddish color. Black mask was OK too. But the rest of the bird's body was a combination of gray, peach, light orange, sort-of-bluish, and whitish colors. In other words, the facial area looked fine for a male Cardinal, but the rest of the feathers looked a little "different". Young male not quite transitioned to adult male plumage? Partially leucistic bird? Artifact of late afternoon light?
