Thanks for viewing.
I spend an afternoon taking pictures downtown Suzhou. As a challenge I limited myself to my Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8 II, even though I hauled the lot along. Especially had to take care about the lack of IS. I guess the other lenses made me a bit lazy in the stability. Liked playing with the DoF and the leg zoom. Let me know your comments, feedback and suggestions for improvements.
The tile along Broadway where Bartell's used to be. Some of it was damaged during new construction but it looks like it was restored.
This is a tile wall made by school kids at a local park in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Taken with an iPhone 4 and processed with a bunch of different apps.
Five tiles from Xiuding Monastery, Anyang. Earthenware, 7th century Tang dynasty.
From the ROM description:
"Most Chinese architecture featured wood construction, but Buddhist pagodas were generally made of brick or stone. They contained relics, but also served to mark a temple, as church towers do in the west.
"These relief tiles are part of the nearly 4000 tiles which covered a pagoda near Anyang. They were shaped in moulds, using 72 different designs. The diamond-shaped tiles are the most numerous and varied."
This tiled wall leads up from the pathway north from Trinity Square to Dundas. I really love the way the texture and gloss of the tiles came out in this.
Three custom decorative tiles by Suzanne Crane placed in a cherry frame with raised external rounded edging. The tiles are grouted with flexible black tile caulk.
The tiles future includes texture and concrete finishes created with new manufacturing techniques never seen before.
A good friend of mine is an extremely talented clay sculptor. She asked me to photograph some of her work for some studios and galleries across the U.S. that want to start carrying her work. I had a great time doing it and I thought I would post a few of her most interesting works. She sells these tiles for under $20 a piece, so let me know if you are interested in any and I'll send you her way.
Glass tile on a storefront in the West Capitol Street Historic District in Jackson, Mississippi. With the recent opening of the King Edward Hotel and the plans for Farish Street, this area is beginning to take off.
A selection of tiles used as part of the paving in London Road, Lowestoft. Some were extremely dull; these caught my eye. They all appear to have local themes: Lowestoft pottery, fishing industry, holiday resort, marshland, boating, etc.
We rented a wet saw from Home Depot for cutting the tiles, and it turned out to be a really smart decision.
This thing is every little boys dream tool. It cuts stuff easily, it makes a ton of noise, and oh yeah, it sprays water everywhere! What more could you ask for!
Seriously this made cutting tiles into a completely trivial task. It was particularly useful for cutting a bunch of tiles exactly the same. For example, in this picture, I'm holding a tile that goes somewhere along the front edge of the counter. With the saw, I can quickly produce 5 of these tiles that are all identical so that everything lines up perfectly.
I should also take this opportunity to continue my rant about Home Depot's rental department.
While renting this thing I was asking for advice, and asked if they had a manual I could borrow. the guy at the counter said that the manuals were an additional $5 to rent (the tool itself was only $38)! This is completely outrageous. If you're going to loan someone a potentially deadly piece of equipment, the instruction manual needs to be included! I gave the guy a hard time, and he eventually let me have one for "free". (Possibly because I pointed out that if I was injured because they didn't include the manual, I was clearly going to turn around and sue the company).
