My favorite image.
A deliberate photo planned out and executed with meticulous intent towards an specific goal....
camera; Franka Werke 1948 Rolfix 6x9

There is a haziness to the images I took with this good old camera. The glass elements are all clear of fungus and dirt.
Perhaps the glue holding the elements together has separated, but it all looks crips and clear..... ????
Any ideas from my fellow analog photographers is appreciated.

Because of their banal uninflective style New Topographic images are challenging to appreciate.
Being both boring and interesting they are not easy to hang up on the wall, but difficult to look away from.

Lens 6 elements- 32mm

Well today I must confess to be as much in the dark about the rocks I will present to you, as most people. I am hoping that people with geological experience can assist us in making some identifications. So the information I give you about these beach rocks at Little Musselroe Bay is very general.
My title here relates to the appearance. It is not in any way geological nomenclature. Topographical comes from two Classical Greek words, "topos" meaning place, and "graphe" meaning writing. So a topographical map for instance provides us with a view of the contours of the land it is mapping. And that's exactly what I think this looks like, especially in black and white.
I believe that this is an igneous rock of volcanic origin. Originally molten lava, at least two different types of mineral compounds were mixed together to create this appearance as it solidified.
New Topographics: "Primarily concerned with relationships of land to culture and the particularities of social existence."

In composing I tried to place each element in it's own frame area.
if only I could have managed to include that door behind the tree
But one step to the left and everything was squeezed into the center.
