Shot for Active Assignment Weekly, theme "Dreams"
WIT
No idea where it comes from, but every month I have a dream about taking exams in high school or university and failing miserably. Those times are long gone, so is the slide rule, replaced by digital calculators.
A friend of mine started a new group called Simply Creative and this shot is for the first assignment: Find something un-interesting around the house (or wherever) and shoot it to make it more interesting. This is an artsy little ceramic grasshopper I bought in North Carolina a few years ago. I experimented with light and shadow and this is how it came out. (if you like to be a little crazy with your camera, come join us!)
Practice Day #7: Third object of the food day: kue lapis. I gotta tell you, tacking these foods on camera is not that easy, even though it looks simple.

I went to the beach tonight with my tripod and took numerous photos of people in motion. I liked this one the best. Black and white conversion with blue filter.

Lydie's assignment 29. Movie poster. Rather plain, not as cool as I pictured it. May redo the whole thing with a new concept if I find the time. Then again, I always say that.
And yes. Again, just some simple simple frankensteining, then the mask and some shading. I'm a horrible slacker...
Title: Assignment To Disaster.
Author: Edward S. Aarons.

Assignment 52: Represent your own brand of holiday madness during this busy & festive season.
So here is Po, no more pleased to be posing with Christmas tree lights than she was the first time around, despite the caption I chose for the cards. Call it irony if you wish -- can't every holiday use some? Po actually is quite a joyful dog, & always well-rewarded for posing! (And I'm joyful that I managed to get cards printed this year! Now to start mailing---)

Depth of Field/Focus Assignment
I'm playing catch up on flickr tonight so I hope this works for the dof assignment for Studio 26, it's been a crazy 2 weeks and I sincerely apologize for not participating in the discussions this assignment.
Æ’/2.8 145.0mm 1/125 ISO 400
For the final assignment for my film photography class.
Concept:
This is the antithesis of the Ansel Adams type, quintessential landscape photo.
Instead of being perfect and crisp and accurate... instead of using extremely precise exposure with well-defined accuracy using the zone system and other techniques... this photo is everything that those things are not.
This photograph was shot on 35mm in a 120N Holga. However, while that type of photography yields imperfections and "happy accidents", there is still an amount of precision and technique that goes into shooting this way. Because, of course, while you're playing a sort of guessing game, you certainly can't just go into it blindly - it won't work that way. You have to make extremely educated decisions on exposure, perhaps moreso than you do with the zone system and such techniques, because you are, in essence, shooting in the dark.
This is something that I have been working on a lot during the past month or so - and I feel it is developing into somewhat of a personal language. This lo-fi, imperfect, accidental experimentation with photography is wonderful - I have fallen very much in love with it. I gave up my other idea - to revisit the self-portrait - for this. Alternative landscape, at its best. :o)
Process (thought I would add this in case anyone was curious):
35mm Kodak 125PX black and white film in a 120N Holga. It's really easy, and doesn't really require any extra manipulation to the Holga.... you just have to tape up the window really well, using a few pieces of cardboard and loads of tape. Tape alone will not work - you'll get light leaks.
You should wind about 28-30 clicks between frames - you can do less or more depending. It will yield you about 16 shots. Once you're done with the roll, you have to leave it in the Holga and take it out in a darkroom. In the darkroom, you can unwind it from the spool that was in the Holga and wind it back into the cannister, and then process it yourself, or take it somewhere.
To print this, you need a glass plate in the enlarger, in place of a negative carrier. Using a negative carrier won't show the sprocket holes. When you print it, it will always be just a little shorter than your paper, if you print for the entire length.
For these images, I printed on glossy fiber paper, and then sepia toned them. You need bleach and sepia toner to do this. This also brings out the numbers, I found. In black and white, it was somewhat difficult to see the numbers.

Today, I was given the greatest treasure. My mother gave me my grandmother's Bible. I always remembered my grandmother being a spiritual person. I didn't realize how much until I saw her Bible. I have never seen a Bible so worn and studied in my life. She made the cross bookmark. This Bible is filled with her thoughts and verses that were important to her. Plus all kinds of poems and newspaper clippings she used as bookmarks. Not to mention the family history she recorded in it. I have a great start to researching my family tree. This book is so fagile and delicate. It means the world to me.

Assignment 52: Create a mood with color
Po, sitting under a tree on the training grounds
(I'm out of town with intermittent internet access & quirky website blocks, & will try to catch up with commenting when I can----)
Active Assignment Weekly: April 15-22, 2024, Simplicity. To me, simplicity means no distractions. I decided to use two of the many different techniques available to achieve this - fill the frame ("After the Rain") and negative space ("Beach Time"). Both photos were taken at Point Pelee National Park, Ontario. You'll be seeing a lot of pictures from this park, as I am here for two months (it is a bird migration hotspot).
Paulette Goddard (1910-1990) was an American actress, a child fashion model and a performer in several Broadway productions as a Ziegfeld Girl; she became a major star of Paramount Pictures in the 1940s.
While on assignment for Look Magazine in Mexico, Goddard met the famed muralist Diego Rivera. Diego painted a few paintings for Paulette and she is represented in two of his paintings including this one called the "Pan-American Unity Mural". This fresco mural (done in ten sections) was painted from June to November 1940 for the San Francisco Golden Gate international exhibition. It is now situated in the City College of San Francisco Diego Rivera Theatre.

Assignment 52 - Silhouettes
I'm fortunate to be in Georgia this week for this assignment, with fabulous light & horizons for silhouette shots. Since this is a trip to visit Po's son, Hibou, at the field trial pro's where he's in training, I'm indulging in a bunch of dog silhouettes. Here's yet another:
In this photo I used rule of thirds to make the horizon line toward the bottom of the photo. The colors of the sunset also have a peaceful effect
