Assignment 52 -- Home Town Tourist Attractions -- Ernest Hemingway Birthplace, 339 N. Oak Park Ave., Oak Park, IL
Oak Parkers are very proud of their native son, Ernest Hemingway. They're even proud of his famously derisive description of the village as "a neighborhood of wide lawns and narrow minds." I suppose that's because they think they've changed.
The Hemingway Foundation provides tours of the birthplace house, lovingly restored to Victorian splendor, with amazing attention to the accuracy of details gleaned from such hints as scraps of wallpaper and descriptions by Hemingway's sister Marcelline. The Foundation also maintains a museum a block away, with photos and artifacts. I do have to wonder what Hemingway might have to say about the fervency of his local admirers. He certainly said many irreverent, puncturing things, though he also said things that feed right into the Mythologizing of the Great Macho Writer (who did not care for his first name, by the way, because of the Oscar Wilde title).
Here are a few Hemingway quotes that resonate with me, while wandering the leafy, wide-lawned streets, on my brief ad hoc literary appreciation & walking tour:
--All stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is not a true-story teller who would keep that from you.
-- There isn't any symbolism. The sea is the sea. the old man is an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The shark is all sharks, no better and no worse. All the symbolism that people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond when you know.
-- The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.

If it's fall then there is not one girl that isn't wearing UGG boots. They're warm and fuzzy and very fashionable for fall.

The brief for PwDP Assignment Five is, apparently, oriented towards photojournalism - photograph an event and market the results to relevant publications. This series is my own response. The background is in my blog, here - stansocapwdp.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Assignment Five.
It relates to a major sporting 'event' of the summer - The Ashes Test Series of cricket matches between England & Australia - but also to my research of contemporary still life photography for Assignment Four; questions around the way photographers might respond to image-saturation in the digital/internet world; and maybe questions around the 'truth' of photographic images. The intended outcome is a series of large prints but, hopefully, these digital versions provide some sense of what is intended.
Assignment 52: "Fine Art" -- Think about what would you might hang on your wall
This was a very interesting question to think about, particularly since I'm likely to be consolidating the art that now hangs in two houses into one house -- the house that's mostly windows. I didn't really come up with any useful answers, but enjoyed trying to define what aspects make me want to keep looking at an image, even on a daily basis, & what I prefer, as far as effect on my mood & outlook from the things that surround me.
The light in this one is so serene -- I'm sure it would make me happy if it hung on my wall. Though I think I do prefer a little more edginess for things I'd keep on the wall.
Assignment 52: From a chosen place, take photographs only of subjects that happen to be within a 5 meter (15ft) radius. This exercise forces you to really look at things and work to compose interesting images
I tried this from several different places. A link to my others:
Active Assignment Weekly - Surrealism.
Wow - this is a tough assignment as I can't do double exposure with my camera, and I don't have Photoshop or any such fancy thing. So, I have played about with what I have.
WIT:
I took some shots of my hand in front of the TV screen during whatever happened to be on - it was a movie of some sort. I had to go with what came up. Then, in PP I used the Polar Co-ordinates application.
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:
I downloaded a new app to my ipad called Assignment. It has wonderful ideas to get me back to and motivated to shooting more often.
Today's Daily Shoot prompt (ds261) is "How does your garden grow? Make a photo of something growing in your or someone else's garden today."
So I took a few shots this morning in our veggie garden which is totally dominated by a huge sunflower (that I don't even think I planted). This is a rather cliched shot of said sunflower, but I like it. That's a bee zooming off to the right of the bloom.
For a strobist assignment, pretty boring but you've got to start somewhere. Besides, I like knives . . . did I just say that out loud??
Details: 430EX lighting a large white card almost directly behind the knife to get top reflection, SB-22s with 2 CTO gels into umbrella at camera left. It is sitting on a gray textured tile that looks much more interesting with the gels. Both strobes on very temperamental gadget infinity V2 triggers.

Active Assignment Weekly: 21-28 May 2018: In One Place
Spec: PIck a spot, and shoot 25 pictures (not in burst mode). You cannot move your feet once you've chosen your spot, but you can crouch, stretch, or move your body on any way to get the shot. It's a photographer's version of the game Twister, so I guess yoga experts may have an advantage here, haha! Try to shoot different subjects, or use different angles or lenses to shoot. Once you have your 25 shots, pick the best 2 and upload for the assignment. Restrictions: None, except as noted in the assignment. Dare: Pick a place indoors to take your pictures.
WIT: There is a nice Poinsettia tree in the grounds of our office base. Cropped and a small contrast tweak. One view up and one view of the ground with dead Poinsettia leaves.

When we disconnect from the source of the conveniences in our lives, whether they are as simple as switching on a light or as complex as bringing food to table, we lose a little bit of our appreciation for the amazing complexity of the world.
Nothing special about this one; I was playing with the 50 mm lens and depth of field.
Assignment - Light : This is the second in a series of assignments that I am working on with my friend Colorblindpicasso. We started a monthly photographic assignment to challenge ourselves to become better photographers, both technically and artistically. In this case, he's got me beat. Not only are his photos for the assignment awesome, he also got them in on time :)

You don't have to comment on this photo, because I deleted the last one (that worm thing scared me after a while). But on a deeper level, I post things here sometimes for the wrong reason. This time I'm submitting it because I believe in it and don't care if anyone else wishes to validate it.
Right now I'm very stressed. I just became incorporated as a photography business and I'm applying for project grants to show in galleries. The gallery owners are all about money and product, and so I've been really trapped in this. My mission is to provoke storytelling in my community with the photos I create. Storytelling that provokes thought and opens minds to new ideas.
Then I saw this star flower on the ground. Lately I've been finding a lot of things on the ground, and think these things are sometimes very important. This flower is in a glass by my computer to remind me of what's important. I love all the submissions this week and always look forward to seeing what you all produce, and I'm also so amazed at how confident most of you are.
This is SOOC, except for a crop and a slight alteration in white balance.

This girl was sitting on the pavement outside our office all day. Sometimes she took a photo and sometimes she made notes.
Eventually I gave in and asked what was going on. Apparently she is a student at the media studies centre (or whatever the old printers' college at Elephant & Castle is called now) and was on an assignment.
Everyone in the class was given a different location where they had to go and stay for 5 hours "soaking up the atmosphere" and observing. I could not work out exactly what the end result of all this was to be, except possibly lung disease from 5 hours of soaking up exhaust fumes.
So... if anyone else in Lambeth/Southwark spotted a lonely figure hanging around the same spot all day today, it could well have been another media studies student.
This wind chime was a present from my 4 year old niece a few years ago. She chose it all by herself "because Aunty Shellie likes cats" You'll see it does have a cat above the sign in the next shot. the poor thing is faded & the spiders have taken over but it hangs in the bottom garden and now my g/daughter loves to ring it everytime we pass by.
This is my #1 choice at the moment....
