Fisherman fishing off the wharf
Bedford Channel, Fraser River

Across the channel, a ribbon of campfire smoke escapes through the trees.

In the 18th century, several attempts were made to develop a machine to replace "hand sewing." It wasn't until around 1830 that the first sewing machines appeared in sewing workshops, much to the dismay of manual workers, but the development of this new invention was unstoppable. Initially, these sewing machines used a chain stitch with a single thread, later evolving to a system with a loose bobbin at the bottom and a thread at the top; this is still used in most sewing machines today.

Old school fishing, two silhouettes in a small pleasure craft... equipped with rods and reels.
Did you happen to notice the swell of the ocean approaching the port side of the boat?

Brocante des Allées François Verdier - Flea/Antique Market - Toulouse - from my original photograph.
Got obsessed with:
Juxtaposition of colour
Detail in the thread
The tops of the reels
How the light plays on the overlapping thread
Ended up with a bit of all of the above.
Was never going to be an issue with finding thread in our house as my wife loves leatherwork and our son is off to Uni to study textile design!
When you reelize that all the slips on the fishing boat side of the harbor are being used and you have to park it with the private boats.
Pillar Point Harbor, just north of Half Moon Bay, California.
This is the take up spool on an Ihagee 500 35mm camera. These East German cameras were really rather well built. The spool on this 500 has a rather nice anodised green cap on the bottom end. The whole back of the camera slides off to load a film and there doesn't look to be any particularly suitable slot for the anodised cap to sit in, yet it all works rather nicely. Shot here with a green flash pointing down and away and red flash right onto the spool. There is around 2.25 inches of scene here. HMM
Reel-to-reel machine + Magnetic tape 7 ½ ips, 4-Track Stereo, Double album, K3002, Polydor, 1971.
Below is a quote from Wikipedia:
"...Back to the Roots is a 1971 double album by John Mayall released on Polydor. Recording sessions took place both in California and London where Mayall invited some former members of his band, notably guitarists Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor.
At the end of the 1980s Mayall remixed some tracks and issued them along with some of the older material as Archives to Eighties. An expanded two-CD version of Back to the Roots now includes both the original and later remixed versions of the tracks..."

Fishing Reel
For Macro Monday - Reels
A couple of years ago our state government decided to give every year five student a fishing rod and reel. This was the reel that came with Sarah's rod. We replaced it with a better quality reel.
The external diameter of this reel is 50mm.
A quick post and run as my physio appointment was changed from this morning to this afternoon so I have to 'hit the road' to Footscray shortly.
Happy Macro Monday!
A tape cassette that hasn't been played in decades. There is a box full of tapes like this in the basement and no cassette player within miles. The image covers about 65mm top to bottom . HMM and thanks for any views, faves and comments.
This very early Super Simplex 35mm film movie projector from the early 1930's on display in the Warner Theater, Torrington, CT, and was manufactured by The Precision Machine Co., New York, NY.
Edwin S. Porter, director of “The Great Train Robbery”, left the employ of Edison, bought the Precision Machine Company and produced the Simplex projector in 1909. He had improved the design of the Edison Exhibition Kinetoscope and was responsible for the Super Simplex, which was introduced in the early 1930s. The Simplex line of projectors was one of the most popular American Brands from the silent era until the transition to digital projection. Simplex projectors were originally manufactured by the Precision Machine Company. Over the course of a series of mergers and consolidations, the Simplex line was manufactured by the International Projector Corporation, General Precision, Inc., National Theater Supply. This is a museum-worthy projector is of significant historical importance. The best of early movie history and an amazing survivor.

"Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud." - Maya Angelou
The theme for the week is reels. This is an old wooden spool of thread that I loaded with rainbow colors. My grandma's sewing implements have been great for photographic subjects over the years. HMM!
My favourite genre is Still Life and I'm hoping at some point I will be able to get back into the regular swing of it _ maybe I could get myself some sort of back support to avoid the inevitable aches and pains! I do find heat pads particularly soothing. Ha ha - forgive my ramblings - this is supposed to be about photography !
