As seen at the Guggenhein, New York City.

 

A composite of two images, one is the descriptive text as seen in the Lobby of the Picasso exhibit and the other is a shot of the ceiling, both images were converted to B&W. The text was layered over an inverse shot of the text and then masked along the diagonal, a bit of erasing yielded the split text layer. This was then layered over the the ceiling shot and blended. I then flipped the ceiling shot and pasted the text image composite back in. I was pleased with the graphic look. (Of course.) But then, I could always do more. :)

Du lundi 19 mai au dimanche 1er juin,de 14h à 19h, la SPR expose ses photos "Sur la route" à l'Orangerie du Thabor à Rennes. (l'entrée est gratuite)

 

Venez nombreux.

any unusual visual expereiences recently.

  

A hallucination, in the broadest sense, is a perception in the absence of a stimulus. In a stricter sense, hallucinations are defined as perceptions in a conscious and awake state in the absence of external stimuli which have qualities of real perception, in that they are vivid, substantial, and located in external objective space. The latter definition distinguishes hallucinations from the related phenomena of dreaming, which does not involve wakefulness; illusion, which involves distorted or misinterpreted real perception; imagery, which does not mimic real perception and is under voluntary control; and pseudohallucination, which does not mimic real perception, but is not under voluntary control. Hallucinations also differ from "delusional perceptions", in which a correctly sensed and interpreted genuine perception is given some additional (and typically bizarre) significance.

 

Hallucinations can occur in any sensory modality — visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, tactile, proprioceptive, equilibrioceptive, nociceptive, thermoceptive and chronoceptive.

 

A mild form of hallucination is known as a disturbance, and can occur in any of the senses above. These may be things like seeing movement in peripheral vision, or hearing faint noises and/or voices. Auditory hallucinations are very common in schizophrenia of the paranoid type. They may be benevolent (telling the patient good things about himself) or malicious, cursing the patient etc. Auditory hallucinations of the malicious type are frequently heard like people talking about the patient behind his back. Like auditory hallucinations, the source of their visual counterpart can also be behind the patient's back. Their visual counterpart is the feeling of being looked-stared at, usually with malicious intent. Not infrequently, auditory hallucinations and their visual counterpart are experienced by the patient together.

This is a very English design camera to be used specifically during the 2 "magic hours" of the day.

 

You may be surprised that this camera isn't about noise reduction or some other enhanced performance ability to maximize the two golden hours of the day although I do offer some token features to the mammon of technology junkies. However, this camera will slightly outperform during those highly sought after times. Specifically, a reminder-timer function filter and a filter to enhance the cloudy, diffused light of the magic hour are included.

 

But the main function of this camera to enhance the photographer's magic hour experience is that it is a specific kind of bar cabinet.

 

Drinking Sherry at 5pm extends the aura of the magic hour by replicating the special glow afterwards (or before depending on the season and location) through alcohol, which will also soften the blow of an unfruitful shooting session as well as the photographer's angst about the subpar quality of his or her equipment. After a Sherry (or three) the lack of razor sharp lines, resolution, lack of contrast and other digital imperfections will soften and fade into insignificance.

 

This is maybe the first camera in the world which is a double camera, built for two to use, and which provides drinks afterwards. I wanted to use the enclosure of the antique English Aptus to commemorate the fact that sherry at five p.m. which is mainly an English tradition. But I opted to use the very modern Leica D-Lux 4 instead, which is a much better fit, is slightly culty, and has a much shorter shutter lag. Leica has a special soft-blur function in this camera that allows a quasi-SLR look, with the focus on the main subject and some lovely Summicron-esque striations (if hip-shot) for its otherwise pleasing bokeh.

 

The design notes on the left side show an Art Deco red mahogany finish enclosure that pulls apart revealing a mirrored service tray which holds bottles of port, sherry, a gasogene, and a pair of drinking glasses. The two D-Lux4's are located on the extreme ends in separate compartments.

 

In my next upload I will publish

the sketch notes on the right (design no. 2) showing another two designs, derived from an antique 18th-century English Knife box that has been modified (as has been done for decades into stationery boxes) but to be a pinhole camera with a removable dark slide/cartridge. As the sketch shows, turning the tasseled key opens the lens cover for exposure. I have named this design to be "three cameras in two". This English knife box-cum-pinhole camera is meant to be displayed elegantly on top of a wooden sideboard in an office or dining room accompanied by service tray and other accessories. This suite of three cameras in two designs allows the very well appointed street photographer to do his outside street work with the Leica(s) and then to retire to a drawing room afterwards for a sherry with friends and some portrait shooting indoors.

 

The 16th century English name for Sherry was Sack.

 

This design is dedicated in camaraderie to the Flickr member Sam Dickey aka 'The Poetics of Sleep' for his very generous comments and inspirational ideas to me regarding the eternal conflict of high and low tech photography. I'll christen the camera and pour him a first virtual sherry at 5 p.m. EST three days from today.

Hakusai's famous wave rising from the first page of Benoit Mandelbrot's revolutionary text The Fractal Geometry of Nature. This image fascinated Mandelbrot and I thought this was a better tribute than a straightforward portrait. The most beautiful things in the world are ideas like those contained in this book.
