Portrait Assignment (5 of 6)

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---)

Submission for Active Assignment Weekly: Nov 30 - Dec 7 "Tension"

I see two forms of "Tension" here: 1) the tension between seasons, and 2) the natural tension of the plant covering itself so tightly. I did some post processing to remove distractions and get closer to the "tense" part of the flower.

These five photographs show my love of travel and adventure. I would take both my memories of Norway, where my husband was born and of Japan where I have dear friends with me on my journey. It is appropriate in a way with my wonderful but different experiences of these two countries echo this assignment. My experience of Norway is of being foreign and coming to feel at home. I have learned to speak the language and identify with this small community-centered culture. I love Norwegian food and customs. Could I ever feel at home like this on my new distant planet? Perhaps that is where Japan comes in. I have visited three times and enjoy the energy of the cities and the beauty of the countryside. I have dear friends here, but I will never feel at home. I come to accept that I will never fully understand what is happening or what the customs are before I do something not quite right. I simple apologize a great deal and enjoy the unexpected nature of every interaction. I sense that perhaps my experience on my new planet might be more like this - - never again at home and always trying to understand but enjoying the challenge.

My favorite two are the "View toward the Vega Archipelago" and "Buddha and Monk, Nara, Japan" Each of these photographs expresses my need for contemplation both in nature and in sacred places. They would be comforting in the journey away from all I know and love.

 

Michael collects watches, thanks to his dad. He always talked about a Skeleton style pocket watch, so for his 26th birthday I found this from Things Remembered and got it engraved with his initials and an inscription on the back that reads: My Love for You Never Runs Out, Love Lexi. He absolute loves it!

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.

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.

Title: Assignment Helene.

Author: Edward S. Aarons.

Publisher: Gold Medal Books.

Date: 1963.

Artist: Barye Phillips.

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).

Assignment 52: Rainbow's End, in tribute to Frederick Rohde VI, brother of Mama Rhodes

 

Recalling that theory about the immutability of molecules, how the form may change, but the energy continues, & the journey. (Also borrowing Ann's idea of combining assignments to make up a previous missed one.)

 

This photo shows something amazing that happened while I was playing with bubbles:

Gallery Coming soon...

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.
