Kaiping, China 開平 農家菜

So... posting some stuff that's been sitting around my hard drive that I never got around to posting...

 

Strobist details: Bare 622 to the right with red gel, bare 285 HV with blue gel, the 50mm lens wide open and the shutter dragged, and then glo-wire wrapped around her in lieu of lightpainting.

found this cool garage full of stuff out at the farm and had a little fun with photoshop and an anaglyph tutorial (you need a pair of those funny red and blue glasses to see the photo right)

Stuffed to the gills!

Whitman 1954 Big Big Paint Book

Hello everyone! Since some of you may have children staying at home, I thought this was a good time to share scans of one of my vintage coloring books, in this case paint book. The book is large and has a lot of pages so it will take me several days to post over 300 pages. I love the art work in these old books.

Except for the title page, I tried to whiten the others so they did have a tan hue.

This art box is about 8.5" tall. It's an old wooden pencil box which I filled with school related stuff.

"Do stuff. Be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It’s all about paying attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager."

Susan Sontag

The third and final time today. Totally loved this place and had to get as much done as possible as there doesn't seem to be many UK explores with this much atmosphere, old history, relics and beauty.

 

A real time capsule but nature is taking back a lot of the rooms with full on decay and collapsed floors. Not to mention a shotgun wielding farmer and a bull roaming the enclosure to make matters worse.

So I thought I’d have some fun with the topic - ‘Words’

 

It was such a great topic as I had so many ideas and it really got my creative juices flowing. It started with the ‘mightier than the sword’ phrase, then I moved onto the building blocks of words, the Alphabet. This was inevitable as my son is in the early stages of reading and phonics at the moment.

 

Then I thought of words in various print form: books; magazines; newspapers etc. And finally the sad thought of how our libraries are closing down and the inevitable move, after 244 years, of the Encyclopaedia Britannica from print to digital.

 

Eventually, I had to give in to my dark, wicked and humorous side and go with the picture you see before you. Yes, I decided to use a quote from a modern cult movie - The Big Lebowski.

 

For those of you who know and love the film, these words will probably resonate with you, as Lebowski finds himself reading the ransom note and the last three words read ‘no funny stuff’. Later in the film the nihilists who wrote the ransom note are adamant that there be ‘no funny stuff’ in the handover of the money - their use of these words makes me laugh whenever I think of them.

 

In deciding to quote this phrase I thought a mock note would be fitting, plus I had a lot of fun making it (is that weird?). For the actual picture, I just held the note in one hand whilst taking a picture with the other - the randomness adds to the overall picture I think.

 

Hope you like it, and let me know your favourite movie quotes also!
