By chance, I rediscovered images taken during a first RedBubble Meetup (with members of the "Welcome Pennsylvania" group).
Figure why not reprocess these HDRs with my current software and post-processing workflow.
This is where I first met Lori Deiter. And just by chance,
Tim Devine was there shooting the falls!

This is a rediscovered print from and a trip I took to Spain to photograph the class 37’s & 58’s that had been hired out and repainted in the blue livery of GIF, Continental rail and sent out there to assist in the building of a new high speed route between Madrid & Barcelona.
A total of 14 heavyweight class 37/7’s and 8 class 58’s were repainted and shipped out there between 2001 and 2005.
Our first morning saw us at the depot at Calatayud which was one of 2 locations the locos were serviced and stabled between duties.
Sadly we couldn’t get round the depot and had to be happy with this view of the line of newly painted and delivered class 37’s..
What I can recall is taking this photo and as I wound on the winder of my trusty Pentax ME Super snapped!
With only 2 shots in the bag on the first day the rest of my trip was not that enjoyable as I became the driver of our little group and had to suffer watching the many freights with class 37’s on them pass me by at the locations we found between Calatayud and Zaragoza.
I cannot even be certain of the date of this image!
We did visit Zaragoza and tried to find a camera dealership that could repair or replace the winder but we were out of luck.

It's funny the shots you initially snub or skip over in favour of other shots within the set. Boredom sinks in and you revisit older material and decide to have a go at something that was initially skipped, and then.... wow...
I find alcohol can help with rediscovering old flicks.
I just rediscovered this pic, taken at the same time one year ago. So I tought I could share it with you now, it is quite. seasonnal :)
I really like the warmth and hope that are in it (in my eyes at least).
Recently the Malayalikkoottam gathered n Cochin to honor the presence of Koshy , who visited his home state after a long break!! The monsoon reluctant to pour in for couple of weeks.... as if, joined with Us to greet him.... his talents, experiences and funny anecdote was not at all a hindrance to the rain...
we joined together for a cruise along the backwaters of Cochin and of course to de Fort Cochin, was a memorable day for the members of Koottam!!
Earlier this year, I visited 10 cities in North America, took a ton of photos, and gave a ton of art talks about creativity, love, and consciousness. Thanks for everyone that came out! Also thanks to Marriott for hosting me and the art talks at their venues. It was great to see so many awesome people come out. As much as I enjoy sharing photos and stories, I think the post-talk bit with the group + personal Q&A is my favorite! Anyway, here is a collection of my 101 favorite photos from the trip... most of these I have not shared before. There's a combination of architecture, landscape, and street photography. I hope you see something you like at stuckincustoms.smugmug.com/Misc/101-Rediscovering-The-Ame...
i had processed these two images of regina spektor from her appearance at the 2007 Austin City Limits Music Festival but never did post them here...silly me! so thought i would share them with you all! :-)

A few days ago, I started using my Leica M8 again, one of the first digital rangefinder cameras launched in 2006. I attached a UV/IR cut filter to an Elmarit 28mm f/2.8 lens and wandered around downtown Ghent to test the camera. The CCD sensor, made by Kodak, gives images a look very similar to the iconic Kodachrome film, which has been discontinued since 2010.
By the way, do you know who shot the last roll of Kodachrome film? None other than Steve McCurry. There's an interesting documentary by National Geographic about him shooting that last roll.
Here are some sample pictures I took near the Krook, the Ghent Library. They may not compete with Steve's work, but I think they capture some nice postcard-like shots with vibrant colors reminiscent of Kodachrome film.

The marble tomb containing the rediscovered remains of Katherine Parr is just left of the alter.
During the Civil War both the Parliamentarians and Royalist troops used and variously shelled the castle at different times, leaving it and this small perpendicular church, built around 1460, a roofless ruin. The burial place of Katherine Parr, Queen of England was lost.
By the 18th century the ruins were already attracting sightseers and in 1782 a group of lady visitors noticed an alabaster panel and asked the tenant farmer to excavate it.
A lead coffin was found with an inscription. The body of the Queen within it was in a perfect state of preservation, perhaps due to the many layers of linen that wrapped it and had protected it from the air.
It became famous, and ghoulish interest led to the coffin being repeatedly opened over the following decades, but the damage had been done and the remains quickly began to decay.
The chapel was restored in the 1860s by George Gilbert Scott for the Dent family and rededicated to St Mary. The coffin was finally laid to rest for the last time and a fine marble tomb constructed to the left of the alter.
Sudeley remains the only private home where a Queen of England lies buried.
Yesterday I rediscovered this amazing Blue Mountains canyon. I'd not been through it for a couple of years and the sheer beauty was mesmerising.
Even the best photographs cannot capture the true nature of this place and the bombardment of your senses as you travel through the canyon - the changes from peaceful silence to what sounds like a raging torrent created by the sound of the smallest waterfall reverberating off the canyon walls, the transition from bright open sections to dark tunnels with only the light from glow worms piercing the darkness, the swirls of moisture as you breathe out into rays of sunlight piercing through the canopy above, the slowly rising steam off your warming wetsuit and the beads of water dripping off the canyon walls. All of this is exacerbated ten-fold when you’re hyper-sensitive due to the potential for snakes hiding in the rocks beneath your feet. The slightest scurry or movement in the corner of your eye stops you in your tracks until you realise it’s just a goanna or yabby.
I can only imagine the range of emotions the first explorers must have experienced passing through this canyon in the 1960s. The canyon would have been very similar to today but they would not have known whether there were impenetrable obstructions or sudden drops with no natural boulders or logs to fix their ropes to. Once you have started going down these canyons, often the only way is down until the canyon opens out.
This is a four-exposure photo to accurately capture the huge dynamic range (difference between the lightest and darkest areas of the scene) and to ensure foreground to background focus. Shot with a Sony A7R with Sony-Zeiss 16-35mm f4 lens @ 16mm and f/8, 1/3 - 1/25s, ISO100-200
Ever since rediscovering my Sith Infiltrator moc I wanted to tweak her a bit more as she looked in a bit of a sorry state.
The changes aren't drastic, just a few improvements here and there for a more accurate look.
It's a nice little display piece on my shelf.
Another rediscovered and reprocessed image from an old low-resolution slide scan of a pre-2000 date original of the amazing standing stones.
Chesterton Windmill is a Grade I Listed 17th century building designed by Inigo Jones and built in 1632. It has been the subject of restoration at various times, the latest major one being finished in 1971.

Rediscovering Photography-1983
I was in a period of inactivity for train photography in 1983. In truth, it was a funk. I recall being bummed out that the L&N, plus the Clinchfield and other “Family Lines” affiliates, were gone—replaced by Seaboard System. And now, the Southern and N&W were being erased as well by the cursed NS thoroughbred. I wondered if continuing my railroad photography was worth it, or just a waste of money and time.
I’m not sure what changed my mind, but initially it was the realization that enough of the “fallen flag” company paint schemes would be around for a couple of years. I could possibly go out in a blaze of silver bromide color transparency film. My first move was to upgrade my camera equipment. I remember getting on the phone with someone at B&H in NYC. He was not pushing me to consider the most expensive options but was quite helpful as I asked questions about various options of Nikon cameras and lenses. This was before the internet (at least for me) so I had to fall back on my general understanding of camera specs to think through the options. Money was also a factor, so I wasn’t interested in buying any top-of-the-line product that had more bells and whistles I would never need or use. Ultimately, I opted for a Nikon FG, a Vivitar 70-150 f3.8 zoom, and Nikon primes for 28mm and 50mm. I would later add a used fixed Nikon tele 300mm from a camera store in Kingsport, and a very solid tripod and cable release. I stashed away most of my “old” stuff in the closet and went about getting familiar—again—with photography.
From that day forward, I threw myself into rediscovering the joys of railroad photography. I made my peace with Seaboard System and the dreaded NS “horse” and went to work. I revisited favorite spots from earlier years but expanded my domain and fanned out to record trains in places I had overlooked much of the previous decade. Sure, the “good stuff” was gone, but the replacements weren’t too bad. Simultaneously, I began to consider lighting and composition far more than I had before. This epiphany confirmed there were literally no limits to the possibilities of great photography. I had encountered the great reawakening.
I think this was a day or two after my new equipment arrived. I had the Nikon FG loaded with color negative film, and it was November 17, 1983. On the way home from work, I passed an eastbound “C” train on Southern’s Appalachia Division (well…NS technically) topping the hill at Oreton. I backtracked to the US 23 overhead bridge at Harvey, Va. and used the Vivitar lens to get the headend, and the mid-trains remotes. Eureka! Everything was still painted in the Southern paint scheme. That older Nikon film model (and particularly the Vivitar lens, which proved to be one of the best I ever owned) produced incredible results (with some help from me, of course).

Having recently rediscovered all the old things I used to love as a child (from the Nineties), I recently had an overwhelming urge to build one of my favourite video game characters ever. Spyro the Dragon. This MOC is based on the appearance of classic Nineties Playstation 1 Spyro (not Skylanders Spyro, I wish classic Spyro would come back! Then I'd have a reason to buy a Playstation 4 :oP ). Built in LDD (was going to be a real-life model until I realised the lack of purple Technic and CCBS meant the end result would look nothing like Spyro) and rendered using Bluerender. The model took about 8 hours to build. And as a little extra, I've also built his faithful companion Sparx the Dragonfly, in his full health colours.

j } rediscovered some vellum envelopes. they were too see-thru to surprise anyone with what's inside. i haven't adhered the tissue liner to the envelope yet. the pattern is more predominant once i do
It is time to go home. But before I leave I will show you this next photo in the Floral texture series. Also shot in the Botanical gardens in Leiden during a weekend with Belgian flickrian Blubox. See you all tomorrow.
This was taken a while back near the beginning of the year. I rediscovered it today and thought it was nice enough to upload.
It is a shame that the bottom right corner is so empty, because I feel like this shot had a lot of promise. As it is, I really like the perspective of the train coming out from behind the hill.
And of course the big ugly tower in the middle of the frame is not ideal either...
The rediscovered Buffalo Bayou Cistern, first underground drinking water reservoir in Houston, Texas USA. Fun shoot trying to get the lighting, lines, water and reflections....fun exercise.

They rediscovered these Waterfalls when the had to clear the area of fallen trees after a particularly bad storm 2 years ago.
With my rediscovered interest in succulents and, in particular, photographing them, it was an obvious choice for me to pay the well-known Sukkulenten Sammlung (succulent collection) in Zurich a visit. It was actually high time for just that - I'd been hearing about it off and on for a few years already, but never managed to make it there. So on one fine Summer's day I packed up my 500C, extension rings and a handful of Fomapan 200 and set out to see what I could find.
Committed to Fomapan 200 using a Hasselblad 500C and 100 mm lens with a 56 mm extension ring. Developed using Ars-Imago R9 (rodinal) 1:25 as per the Massive Dev chart (though I think the listed times are too short and will be adding at least a minute to them in the future) and scanned with an Epson V850 using Silverfast. Positive conversion and contrast done with Negative Lab Pro. Dust cleaning, sharpening and final contrast in Photoshop.

Ah, the joy of spending a wet and windy morning clearing memory cards and discovering a tiny beauty of a flower. I'm looking forward to seeing these again soon :)

The mosaics in the collection come from a dig orginized by Princeton in the late 30's. They were purchased by the museum in the 1960's.
One of the mosaics was installed in the members courtyard as part of a fountain, the others were buried in the front garden (yrs I typed that correctly). No explanation is given about why they were buried for forty plus years.
All of the mosaics in the collection have recently been conserved and attached to lighter modern backings.

In the south of Laos, in Champasak Province near the Cambodian border, some 200 km from Angkor Wat and about a one hour drive from Pakse on a good road, is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Vat Phou. It is an exceptional archeological site originating in the 6th century and thriving until the 15th Century. Its influences come from Khmer, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions that blend elegantly in its architectural, ritualistic, and artistic designs. Construction on what we see today as Vat Phou started around 1000AD, and bears clear visions of Hinduism. Taking advantage of a natural axis from Phou Kao Mountain - from which flows a natural spring that is still considered sacred nowadays - to the Mekong River, the ancient khmers designed a geometric pattern of temples, shrines, and man-made waterways. The deliberately chosen location of Vat Phou along an east – west axis, is coupled with the fact that the peak of Phou Kao Mountain is shaped like a lingam. Such a phallic shape is usually associated with the Hindu God Shiva, as is the worship of the rising sun, hence the east – west alignment of the temple. After centuries of lying in ruin, hidden within the jungle, a French explorer, Henri Pamentier, rediscovered Vat Phou in 1914. After photographing the site, it once again disappeared form the world’s consciousness. Interest resurrected itself again in the mid 1980’s when UNESCO initiated an archaeological survey of the site. This survey led to heritage legislation being implemented, with the conferring of protected status being given to the site in 2001.
Photo of the facade of Vat Phou sanctuary in Champasak - Laos. The sanctuary is in two parts. The front section, of sandstone, is now occupied by four Buddha images, while the brick rear part, which formerly contained the central linga, is now occupied by a large Buddha image and altar. The light and colors of the Buddha altar are perfect since the entire roof is missing, although a makeshift covering has been added to the front. Here you don't feel like a tourist but more like an explorer. Water from the spring which emerges from the cliff about 60 m southwest of the sanctuary was channeled along stone aqueducts into the rear chamber, continuously bathing the linga. The sanctuary is later than the north and south palaces, belonging to the Baphuon period of the later 11th century.
Het Wat Phou tempelcomplex ligt op een uurtje fietsen vanaf Champasak. Een fiets kun je voor 0,50 per dag huren via je guesthouse. Je kunt Wat Phou ook met een gecharterde tuk-tuk bereiken. Wat Phou betekent in het Laotiaans bergklooster. De Wat Phou, de meest interessante Khmer-ruine buiten, ligt op 8 kilometer ten zuidwesten van Champasak. Het is in feite een verzameling tempels en heiligdommen aan de voet van de Lingaparvata berg. Het Khmertempelcomplex werd in de 9de eeuw door koning Jayavarman IV als Shiva-heiligdom gebouwd. In vroegere tijden verbond een 200 km lange weg deze tempel met Angkor Wat in Cambodja. Hoewel de plek nu verbonden is met het Theravada Boeddhisme, wijzen zandstenen reliefs erop dat de ruines ooit aan de Hindoe-goden gewijd waren. Met de ondergang van het Angkor rijk werd Wat Phou overwoekerd door de jungle. In 2001 is Wat Phou door UNESCO uitgeroepen tot een World Heritage Site. Met steun van de UNESCO zijn restauratiewerkzaamheden in volle gang. UNESCO heeft inmiddels wel geleerd van eerdere restauratiewerkzaamheden aan Angkor Wat. De inmiddels gestarte herstelwerkzaamheden stuitten daar op opmerkelijk verzet van deze bezoekers. Ze waren ontstemd over de pogingen het overwoekerende oerwoud terug te dringen. Voor hen werden een paar gebouwen ongemoeid gelaten, zodat het beeld gelijk bleef aan de op foto's vastgelegde dromen die ze, eerder thuis hadden gezien. Gelukkig krijg je hier als je door de gedeeltelijk overgroeide ruïnes dwaalt een goede indruk hoe groot het complex geweest moet zijn. Boven op de heuvel staat een verborgen tempel in het oerwoud. Je voelt je even geen toerist maar ontdekkings-reiziger! Vanaf de boven op een heuvel gelegen centrale tempel kijk je uit over een groot deel van het complex en de in de verte gelegen Mekong.
A very apt quote. I rediscovered a whole swathe of these alium from, lessee, May (May!) in LightRoom and started to play with them again using some of the newer presets. I would now have significant difficulty if anyone ever told me I'd have to choose a single flower to photomograph for the rest of my days. Alium? Daisy? Bluebell? Echinacea? Crocosmia? Woe, woe, woe would be harold. Which makes this a good candidate for sad bokeh friday, where the Maxeran roams free, grazing in organic migraine-less pastures.
I promised a preset yesterday, time permitting. It did not. So it's a good job I used the same preset on this one which allows me to offer it now. Or it will in a few mins when I add it. Come back soon. No flipping!
Download the "When the hurly-burly's done" preset for free for Lightroom or ACR / Photoshop from the blog or from the group (which ends up pointing to the blog anyway).
