For Macro Monday's "Wrapping" Theme
This is one of those spangly ribbon/bows you simply stick on top of a present. They are life savers! Let me explain why.
I believe there are two types of people in this world; those who are wrapping-gifted (not rapping gifted necessarily), the category A wrappers, and then there are those like me, severely wrapping-challenged would be the PC term. Wrapping is like some impossible dark mysterious art to me. It starts with the paper….
Possibly my 30 year old scissors are blunt, or maybe it’s the $1 rolls of wrapping paper I buy from The Reject Shop. (Yes, there is actually a shop here called that. I’m not sure if the name is aimed at the products or the customers like me 😉) Don’t see the point of spending money on paper that will be thrown out in a few days’ time when it could be better spent on something to benefit humanity, like camera equipment 😊 Anyway, I see the Cat A’s cut paper with perfectly straight edges, seemingly easy. Mine looks like I have hacked at it with a wood saw while drunk & blindfolded! And that’s if it doesn’t rip, which it inevitably does. Then there is “the wrap”, horrifying ordeal. How do people make origami swans when I find it next to impossible to fold a piece of paper around a perfectly symmetrical rectangle box? (My family only get rectangular presents, they are hard enough to wrap, any other shaped present is out sorry) This results in one of two outcomes generally. The first being the paper doesn’t quite reach around the present somewhere. In this case you have to stick a “band-aid patch” of paper over the gap. I generally try and use the same paper so it’s not so obvious. You are welcome for that tip 😊 The other outcome is you misjudge the amount of paper needed and you need to wrap it around the present about 4 times. The present is generally looking like a mutant pinata at this stage, On to the next battle, the dreaded Sticky Tape.
I’m sure they pay scientists money to make sticky tape rolls with no discernible edges. They should call it Salvador Dali tape! After spending an hour on average trying to find the edge of the tape I generally give up & try to find someone fingernail-gifted who magically always seem to find the edge in seconds. It's usually at this the fingernail-gifted one will say something like "for goodness sakes give it here & I'll do it; a 5 year can wrap better than you" If that doesn't work and you have to do it yourself, like for example if it's the fingernail-gifted one's present, then handy hint - stick half a dozen pieces of tape on your arm for ease of access,
Then, the Final Wrap. Unless you were born double-jointed, or are a contortionist this is tricky. It’s like that old of game of Twister. Right hand – yellow, or edge of the wrapping, left leg - top of present to hold it still. Nose on top of present holding paper in place. Whatever appendage you have left to get a bit of tape off your arm. Even smarmy Cat A, fingernail-gifted contortionists must struggle here. You pull the tape off your arm, ignoring the pain as it rips your arm hairs out (your arm may be numb anyway from the unnatural positions it it’s been in from Wrapping Twister) If you actually manage to get a piece of tape onto the paper before it sticks to itself and is completely useless, you start feeling like you might be starting to see the finish line in sight. The hairs from your arm stuck to the sticky tape give the present an authentic, artistic look I reckon, a personal touch. The game continues, left hand green, right foot present, now using mouth to get tape off the arm.
Then suddenly, with much amazement, you realise you are done! Your body starts to slowly bend back into its normal shape. And the wrapped present is there in all its glory! Looking like a FedEx package that has spent the last 10 years on a desert island with Tom Hanks. You proudly put it under the Christmas tree amongst all the other Cat-A wrapped presents. I always feel quite attached to them by now after all we have been through together. Your special enemy-become-friend present, now called Wilson. And the beauty is no one will guess it’s your present! Although the hairy rectangle bandaided looking pinata may give the more astute ones a clue 😉
Happy macro Monday, and happy wrapping out there !

Ever watch the alpen glow fade and dissapear before it was going to get good, well that's happened but it came back through a hole in the clouds. No wonder it's a favorite time of year for so many photographers.
Normally I stay away from iconic scenes but I was scouting for a workshop and hanging out with friends Eric Good and Chris Chamberlain so there was no doubt I'd end up at this heavily over shot lake more then once. I never complain about the crowd and just shoot around them since it's just the nature of iconic places. I knew the color there would be a lot better there then previous years because of all the extra water in the El Nino year so it would be worth working around the crowds. I spent about 2 weeks out there and can still head back in a week and shoot plenty more fall color in the lower parts of the canyons.
With all of the great fall color out there students wanted be out taking advantage of all the fall color. Tough when the best time shoot fall color is during the brighter parts of the day and in overcast lighting and a short classroom gets squeezed in before or after dinnertime. I'd heard there were 60 photographers along the creek outlet here at North Lake the first Saturday this October. Hope to share a few other images from this morning but my choosing of what to process is very sporadic.

I wanted to do something a bit different for this week's Crazy Tuesday challenge: Geometry. While looking in the pantry I realized that groceries come in a plethora of geometric shapes, so here are some for your amusement.
Happy Crazy Tuesday!
Committed to Ilford HP5+ using a Leica M3 and 50 mm Summilux ASPH lens. Developed using Ars-Imago FD as per the Massive Dev chart and scanned with an Epson V850 using Silverfast. Positive conversion and contrast done with Negative Lab Pro.
This lead-free soldered rectangle box pendant is filled bright fuzzy pink fabric. A contrasting turquoise blue button is also suspended behind the glass.
Philip Shen's partitioned box is interesting because if you fold it from a rectangle instead of a square, no matter which direction you fold the box, the final model is the same size simply divided lengthwise or widthwise. A 4×3 rectangle yields a 1×2 box. I thought it would be fun to integrate multiple layers together into one organizer.
Outer box from 8½" square, second layer from 8"×6" rectangles, third layer from 2¾"×3⅝" rectangles.
Box equation:
x = short side of final model
y = long side of final model
Shorter side of paper = 3x
Long side of paper = 2x+y
This is some of my tool, just some, because I have artist tools by the thousand or millions
1. My easel (not really an easel from the start, I think it was a small pen house or something, anyway it can be opened any longer since it is covered by paint and have bumps from me by mistake treading on the poor thing from time...
2. Watercolor of a gouache kind of sort or quality it rests in a spatter box that really is the lover plastic part from a deck of cards

3 cents per 1/2 oz. + 5 cents registry to the USA = 8 cents - with 5 cents registered letter stamp (RLS)
The registered letter stamps of Canada were introduced in 1875 to make it easier to notice registered letter among the mail when it was sorted. In 1876 it became mandatory to use these stamps on registered mail, and that was the case until 1893 when the use of registered letter stamps was discontinued. - Link to everything you want to know about Registered Letter Stamps - www.novastamps.com/RLSExhibit.pdf

Addressed to: The University Chemical Preparation / Works / P.O. 249 South Sixth St / Philadelphia / Pennsylvania
A registered letter sent to order a preparation for women to have superfluous hair removed from their face etc...A correspondent in Ohio asks our opinion of the circular of a Philadelphia "University Chemical Preparation" for removing hair from the face, arms, etc. It is claimed that the preparation is not poisonous and " is based upon the unerring natural laws of matter, and can never fail." As we have not seen this preparation we can only judge of it on general principles. It has no right to call itself a "University Chemical Preparation," as no "university" has anything to do with it. Being false in its title, we have a right to suspect that its claims are equally false. But why remove the hair? Removal will only stimulate future growth. Some of the most estimable ladies of our acquaintance are thus annoyed, but they have the good sense to know that the regard in which they are held by their friends is not affected by a few hairs upon the face.

Good morning everyone. Welcome to the second installment of the "The Sweet Life" featuring Milk Duds. A chewy caramel candy covered in chocolate. I once read somewhere that Milk Duds was the candy of choice at concession stands by movie goers. Far exceeding sales of any other brand of candy when sold in movie theaters.
When gathering up different boxed candies for this series I found a few were sold in these "milk carton" type containers along with the familiar rectangular boxes. Which was a new one on me, as I never noticed before candy being sold in this type of packaging. Being a traditionalist I also included a pic with the more common rectangle box in the comment section.
I hope you enjoy this series and find the provided text informative on this highly popular American candy.
Thank you for stopping by...and wishing you a most pleasant Sunday.

Yahk is an unincorporated hamlet in southeastern British Columbia, Canada, just north of the Canada-U.S. border. Yahk Provincial Park borders the village to the south. Yahk is located on the Moyie River.
Thanks to the CPR Railway pushing westwards, the community of Yahk came to be in 1899 when the railroad arrived. By 1905 the King family had settled in the area and set up the King Lumber Company with milling operations located in nearby Ryan. The Yahk Hotel, post office and general store quickly followed as other families moved here and logging continued to expand and flourish. A one-room school was opened in 1918 and by 1920 a second school opened. In 1928 CPR-sponsored families from Europe arrived and the town of Yahk was thriving. By 1931 a grass runway had been built designed as a stopping point for the Trans Canada Airway between Lethbridge in Alberta and Vancouver in British Columbia. Eventually the airstrip was used for emergency service only and it shut down in 1988. By the late 1930s the road was being paved.
During the prohibition era which began in 1917, inhabitants of Yahk had a very profitable side industry distilling and selling illicit alcohol, driving it to and from the US under cover of darkness – at least, so the story goes!
Today, the train no longer runs through Yahk and the artifacts from the bygone era are housed in the Creston Museum. This quiet hamlet is home to some 130 families and many more in the summer who come here to camp or stop enroute north or south to enjoy the scenic Moyie River or savour an ice cream. Link to the complete article - www.travel-british-columbia.com/kootenay-rockies/canadian...
- from 1908 "Lovell's Gazetteer of the Dominion of Canada" - YAHK, a post office in Kootenay District, B.C., and a station on the C.P.R., 41 miles from Cranbrook and 42 miles from Kootenay Landing.
(from - Wrigley's 1918 British Columbia directory) - YAHK, a post office and station on the C. P. Railway, Crow's Nest line, at junction of C. P. Railway line south to Spokane. It is 26 miles east of Creston. and 41 southwest of Cranbrook, in Cranbrook Provincial Electoral District. Is on the Moyie River. Has East Kootenay and Government telephone lines; also C. P. R. telegraph. Water tank rand two section crews. The population in 1918 was 59. Local resources: Lumbering.
The population of Yahk, B.C. in 1932 was 150.
The Yahk Post Office opened - 1 September 1905, S.A. Speers was the Postmaster. "Yahk" is the Kootenay Indian name of the river (variously spelled Yaak, Yak and Yaht), meaning "arrow", referring to its arrow-like position at the bow or bend of the Kootenay River. From the Indian word "yaak" meaning "bow", a name which the Kootenay Indians applied to the Kootenay River which first flows south then west, then north. By extension the word would be applied to the country contained within the "bow" of the Kootenay River. Some derive the name from "a'k" meaning "arrow".

The Canadian Bank of Commerce building and Wentworth Hotel. The Canadian Bank of Commerce came to Cranbrook August 8, 1898, within a month of the arrival of the railway. Built at a cost of $15,000 it was one of Cranbrook's first imposing commercial structures. By 1967 the building no longer adequately accommodated bank business. The new (and present) Royal Bank building opened August 17th, 1968. The Wentworth Hotel can be seen behind the bank building. Link to photo - basininstitute.org/home/image.html?zn=7&id=d560405491...

(from - Wrigley's 1918 British Columbia directory) - Cranbrook - a city of about 3,000 population, has a gravity water system, owned by the city, sewerage, and electric light and power day and night. The electric light and power plant is owned by a private company, the Cranbrook Electric Light Co. Limited. It is a divisional point of the C. P. R., being situated on the main line of the Crow's Nest branch. From Cranbrook a branch line of the C. P. R. runs to Kimberley, 19 miles north, a mining town whose output of silver-lead ore is the greatest on the continent and possibly is, at the present time, the greatest in the world. This branch also touches Wycliffe, 9 miles from Cranbrook, where are situated the sawmills of the Otistaples Lumber Co. Ltd. Another branch of the C. P. R. runs from Cranbrook to Golden, making connection between the Crow branch and the main line, and tapping the rich valley of the Columbia River. This line passes through the old mining town of Fort Steele, 11 miles from Cranbrook, which in earlier days added millions in coarse gold to the wealth of the country and is still augmenting it by a considerable output of fine gold from the washings of the rich tailings of former days. Wardner and Bull River, both mill towns, are served by this branch, and are within convenient distance of Cranbrook to insure that city getting the largest share of their business. To the west of Cranbrook, on the main Crow line, is the town of Wattsburg, 7 miles distant, where the mills of the Wattsburg Lumber Co. are located. Between Wattsburg and Cranbrook, 4 miles from the latter, is one of the mills of the East Kootenay Lumber Co.

Perched on a leafy hill with a picture postcard view across the Rippowam Valley, the house consists of a roof, a floor and four glass walls supported by eight steel piers.
Williams Tower (for those of us Houstonians that still remember - Transco Tower) is one of the most photographed buildings in Houston. One of the reasons is that it stands by itself in the Galleria without neighboring skyscrapers which makes it look taller than it's competitors. The only aggrevation in this building is the rectangle - box like, lower floors which interupts the straight up angle.
An excellent photographer asked what my take on this building would be. Taaaddaah! Here it is!
This is Houston's 3rd tallest building.
Library Station on the outskirts of Bethel Park, Pa. Mt grandparents lived over here, and I remember visiting, noticing all the weird looking buildings in the area. Like rectangle boxes w/ a giant golf ball on top. All those former bases are now gone. This Nike Missile has been here as long as I remember.
If you wanted to know what was in that black rectangle box in the TA-N80ES and N77ES. here it is! 2 22,000uf capacitors in a hard resin for vibration control. Mated to the Gibraltar chassis and it was a very solid amp!

The Great Wave Off Kanagawa Originally by Katsushika Hokusai. This was an appropriation for a drawing assignment in my drawing II class.
This is done in colored pencil with lots of blending. The only other medium used was graphite for the grey in the sky. 18 x 24 sketch paper.
I changed the words and used an online translator so the Japanese grammar might be off. I used Japanese katakana characters to convey "The invitation cat meets the great wave" within the rectangle box, outside the rectangle is my first name.
This Brooch started out by creating a super skinny rectangle box that I thought I was going to run Perpendicular. I changed to Horizontal when I decided I wanted to cage in some Fresh Water Pearl and let them run free in the Brooch. This Brooch is made from Sterling Silver, oxidized with Fresh Water Pearls. It measures just over 3 1/2 inches long.
Rite Aid #11918 (14,556 square feet)
4501 News Road, Monticello Marketplace, Williamsburg, VA
Opened in fall 2007; originally 2006-built Eckerd
Here we have a Rite Aid that existed for a little over a year as an Eckerd; whether or not Rite Aid had kept Eckerd's relatively new and original look intact or instead put in their own Customer World renovation package is unbeknownst to me, as the store has had the Wellness look since about 2012-2013. It's kind of an unusual setup for an Eckerd of that era, though, as the building was built more horizontally and rectangular and the ceiling lights are continuous fluorescent tubes instead of rectangle boxes. Definitely would've been more interesting to see the store as it was initially built but it's still a curiosity nowadays.
According to a 1913 newspaper advertisement, Dr. R. A. Patterson, a physician of Richmond, Virginia discovered a process called the "Tuxedo process" that removed the bite and sting from old Barley tobacco, thus making a better pipe tobacco. Patterson sold the tobacco under the name "Tuxedo Tobacco." The faded yellow rectangle box to the left side of the wall appears to be a tin that the tobacco was sold in.

I found this tiling on a box this morning.
The holes are probably practical constraints required by the boxed products or transport container.
This constraint has to be satisfied along with another one: "Fit as many boxes in a truck as possible" and truck manufacturers go to great extents to ensure that the wheel wells do not spoil a nice regular rectangular flat surface on which nice regular flat rectangle boxes can be packed.
So, most probably, someone had to be appointed to solve this problem....I can't imagine the job description in that job advert though :-)
Who said the cover should fit perfectly on the box?
90 degrees rotated top, gives new options to the tradional box design.

It is one of those story posts. I had an idea to make a foot rest under my computer desk after struggling with temporary solutions like cardboard boxes. I had an idea to make a box out of some pallets I broke down and thus started my journey. I figured about 12 inches high was the best height for me and my chair situation. Measured the distance from the desk and cut my pallet wood. I made a half rectangle box and put some wedges for feet on it and put it on my desk. It was exactly the right height, but it was hard and uncomfortable. The edges were digging into my feet and also it was wobbly without any base to the legs.. so I took it back to my shop, routed around the edges, so it was rounded and put a cross beam support for the legs. I then got an ingenious idea. I had an excellent memory foam mattress topping that was exiled downstairs after its lifetime. I brought that to my detached garage shop and cut a portion of it that I needed making sure to wrap the entire box all the way around and stapled it. I went to a fabric store and bought $5 worth of fabric and wrapped and stapled. It is amazing! I am sitting here writing this thing, and I am comfy and relaxed.
HAPPY PALLET WOOD CREATING!
This little rectangle box is filled with 29 lucky stars! The stars are folded from the cutest black paper covered in little white and yellow chicks! HAPPY TOGETHER is printed on the paper, and these guys do look so happy to be in there together! Plastic box is wrapped in bright yellow ribbon and would be perfect in an Easter basket! Convo me if you need more than 1!

I'm going to take a guess that LaSalle Neon made this great old sign.
The neon sign is long gone, replaced by a backlit plastic rectangle box sign.

For this Image I free floating image of Hillary Swank and Gerald Butler and behind them I put one of the letters he wrote to her. On this letter I changed the text font, free transformed it by rotating and put a rectangle box around it to make it look like the back round of the letter. To the backround I went to layer styles and used colored pencil. Then for the title I used layer blending options with drop shadow and outter glow.
