IBA - Institute of Business Administration, City Campus, Karachi, Pakistan.
At the time I was at IBA - Institute of Business Administration, Karachi, Pakistan, it was afternoon, the light being very harsh but at the same time creating interesting shadows and patterns. This attracted me to first time turn on the “Noir” effect on my cellphone and shoot these.
I found it quite easy as I could view it in monochrome. I always say doing black and white on film is very difficult.

Came across this remarkably structured pattern in the creek flowing out of Beaver Lake. Bubbles forming as the water cascaded over a ledge were caught in a pool and as they were compressed the wind shifting the water a little one way then the other they formed concentric ribbons of wavey curves. A semi submerged grass bisected and organized the lines of bobble into defined perpendicular strips.
Such a strong pattern formed out of the chaos.
fter the third dip in the wax I believe the temperature got too hot and began to foam. Hence the flake-y skin on this bracelet. Also the wax couldn't reach all the way to the base so I was forced to swirl the structure instead of dipping it. What I learned was the structure should of been smaller or broken into various pieces to combine later. Also need to buy a bigger container for wax dipping and get a thermometer.
Originally constructed as a Queen Anne-style house circa 1885, this building was expanded and converted into a Streamline Moderne or Art Moderne-style structure by architect Lawrence Monberg in 1945-1946 to house the medical practice of the Quisling Brothers, whom were doctors. The building is one of three notable Art Moderne-style buildings designed by Monberg for the Quisling family, whom were prominent physicians of Norwegian descent in Madison during the mid-20th Century. The building has been expanded several times with additions that match the original materials and forms of the building, but lack much of the same ornament and details found on the original section of the building. The clinic opened at the location in 1935 in the former house, and enclosed the house’s front porch and modified the interior to house offices. The style of the building evokes the “ocean liner” ships and “stream liner” trains of the era.
The building features buff brick cladding, long ribbons of windows with orange brick panels between them, stone fins that accentuate the building’s horizontality, with the second-floor windows on the front facade being narrower than those on the first floor. The building’s corners are rounded, softening the appearance of the structure, which is echoed in the “porthole” circular window next to the entrance door, decorative oversized aluminum handles at the original front entrance, which sits below a curved concrete canopy with circular openings, a curved corner, and aluminum lettering spelling “Quisling Terrace” atop the canopy, with a quarter-circle stoop and steps below. The front of the building includes light wells for the basement and brick planters, which echo the appearance of the rest of the building. The main massing of the original building is two stories in height with a smaller and deeply setback third floor with curved corners and few windows, with the entire building capped with a low parapet and low-slope roof. An addition built in 1964 to the southeast of the building is taller than the original structure, standing five stories tall, and matching the buff brick cladding and curved corners of the original building on the front, but with simpler details, with less complex canopies, less variety of trim, and a boxier overall form, which seems to mimic the nearby Edgewater Hotel and Quisling Towers. The addition has been heavily modified with window openings enlarged and metal railings added to create balconies for the apartment units that now occupy the building. The interior of the building has been fully modernized and renovated, leaving very few historic character-defining features, but has allowed for full preservation of the exterior of the building.
The building is a contributing structure in the Mansion Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. In 1998, after the Quisling Clinic had closed, the building was threatened by demolition for a new building, but was saved by a local developer, whom converted the clinic in a historic preservation adaptive reuse project into affordable housing for people making below area median income. The renovation fully reconfigured and altered the interior, which had been renovated multiple times since the 1940s, and enlarged window openings on the rear and side facades to add small balconies outside many of the apartment units. The building today remains in use as an apartment building, known as Quisling Terrace, after the family that built the building.
It was feared that the Japanese would land on this coast during WW2. There are still relics scattered here and there.

Further to the west on the spit are the buildings of the second phase. The most distinctive structures built during this phase were the two Vibration Test Buildings, now commonly referred to as ‘The Pagodas’ (National Trust buildings E2 and E3). The specification for the Vibration Test Buildings included the ability to withstand the accidental detonation of 400lbs (181.4kg) of high explosives; they were designed by G W Dixon ARIBA for the UK Atomic Energy Authority and are identical. Both Vibration Test Buildings, their control room and centrifuge were constructed in 1960.
They comprise a large reinforced concrete central cell 16.47m (54ft) by 7.30m (24ft) covered by a massive reinforced concrete roof supported on sixteen reinforced concrete columns. To the south and east of the main chambers are self-contained plant rooms. The main access to the building is from the south through an entrance passage which was originally sealed by a pair of outward opening metal covered wooden doors. On its western side, adjacent to the main entrance passage is a blocked doorway that led to a small staff room and toilet. Inside the buildings on the eastern side of the passageway one set of stairs gives access down to the main test cell and another to a walkway around the top of the chamber. At the end of the passageway is a lift pit, which allowed test pieces to be lowered on to the floor of the main test cell. To assist in manoeuvring heavy objects there are a number of substantial steel eyelets screwed into the underside of the roof. A travelling crane also ran on rails mounted on a ledge beneath the windows, a loose plate on the floor recorded ‘Becker twin Lift Maximum Working Load 40 tons serial A-2647-2’.
The floor of the main cell is formed of parallel and narrowly spaced steel ‘I’ section beams for test rigs to be firmly secured to the structure. To either side are cable ducts. At the same time as being vibrated objects might also be placed in jackets to simulate extremes of heat and cold, or in a portable altitude chamber to mimic the effects of altitudinal changes. Set into the north wall are seven steel plates with vertical cruciform slots that were also used for securing tests rigs or monitoring equipment. Below these are eight pipes opening from the service passageway to the north. In the south wall are three steel plates with horizontal slots, above the plate is stencilled 1-27ft and below it 1-7.5m. The walkway around three sides of the cell was originally protected by a handrail and there is another handrail fixed to the main wall. Running around the wall is a cable conduit and attached to the wall are various pipes for carrying electrical wires, switches, junction boxes and pressure gauges. Signs on the wall above the lift pit record ‘Telephone Instrument Room’, ‘Vac Pump Running, Vac Pump Stopped’ with associated light fittings. At the north east corner of the cell is a doorway to the rear service passage running east to west along the north side of the building. To the east a flight of stairs gives access to the eastern plant room. To the west another set of stairs provides access to the northern side of the lift pit, the upper walkway and to an emergency escape passage through the north side of the traverse. To the south of the main cell are free-standing Burwell brick-built plant rooms. The main plant room is entered through two sets of double doors on its south side, internally are four machinery mounting plinths. Attached to its west wall is a metal cabinet that probably housed equipment to operate the hydraulic compressor for the internal lift. At the eastern end of the building is a store room with a blocked doorway to the south.
shooting data :
Panasonic DMC-LX1
lens : 28-112 mm ( 16:9 ) : 28 mm
program auto exposure : - 1.33 EV
manual focussing : 3-6 feet zone setting, 6-15 feet zone setting
shooting mode : continuously
ISO : 80
date : Wed. 23 Aug. 2006
place : the upper deck of my junction station, JR Higashi-Kanagawa station south-east area, Yokohama canal, on the road of Route 15
JR --- Japan Railroad or something
higashi --- east
note :
I used my LX1 on 28 mm with 3-6 feet zone setting and 6-15 feet zone setting.
I used 3-6 feet zone setting for the person.
and I used 6-15 feet zone setting for the canal mainly.
and naturally,
LX1's battery was dead in 2 hours usually.
That was the place just near the main road to my Dai-koku Pier.
...
my frivolities
I went shooting with LX1 and W5.
W5 was using for the evening and night.
my W5 has f 2.8 and f 5.6.
and my W5 still had made stains on f 5.6 at that night.
but in the night, it is very hard to get f 5.6 naturally.
so I could use my W5 in my Dai-koku Pier with manual exposure for the evening and with auto exposure for the night.
I had to use my W5 by manual focussing with f 2.8.
but I did the normal mistake naturally again.
at first,
I had been shooting my W5 by manual focussing with f 2.8.
and soon I had been shooting my W5 by manual focussing with f 5.6.
and soon later I had been shooting my W5 with auto exposure entirely.
I found it on my Dai-koku Oo-hashi ( big bridge ) in the night.
I had already been shooting over 200 jpgs until then.
My memory stick pro could accept only around 250 jpgs plainly.
I couldn't do my shooting from the evening again.
It had already all been passing.
All the causes had been hidden in my W5's tiny little pushing buttons.
It comes from my frivolities.
...
Leica M8
my W5 had already come back from SONY for repairing with no cost.
so,
I don't have a need to use my frivolities any more.
the manual exposure setting was not my shooting style naturally.
I had been shooting by manual exposure in my film lording type camera days.
The film lording type camera days could not be coming any more for me probably.
That has two simply reasons,
One is from my monetary reason.
and the other,
Leica had released Leica M8 already.
The most of all someone had been saying like this.
" I only shoot film ! "
The monetary reason person had been using the plastic digital cameras.
With no monetary reason person would be soon using Leica M8 naturally.
I have been simply loved Leica since 1978.
M8 is my too much more more far away dreaming still now.

This 1911 building replaced a wooden structure that stood here for many years. The stone plaque contains the opening text of the Concessions.
According to a plaque on the building, "Founded at London in 1675 by William Penn and Quaker Trustees, the Proprietors of West Jersey sold shares in land that resulted in rapid development of Burlington, starting in 1677.
"The Council was formed in 1688 to manage the growing demand for land in West Jersey and has met annually in May since that time.
"This 1911 brick structure a nearby old wooden building....
"In 1676, William Penn and the Quaker trustees published the Concessions and Agreements that guaranteed freedom and rights to West Jersey emigrants and became an inspiration to our Founding Fathers a century later."
