Everyone needs some variety. Some of my first shots were of food so I decided to go back to basics tonight.
Schematic
There’s room in the plan for Schematic, a high-performance contract upholstery available in 5 masculine colors. 100% solution-dyed nylon, Schematic combines a large-scale yet refined architectural pattern with a heathered ground for a soft look. Perfect for offices looking for a graphic pattern while requiring durability, Schematic is finished with GreenShield, which increases moisture resistance and prevents stains while using less energy and fewer fluorocarbons than other treatments. It exceeds 250,000 double rubs and is bleach cleanable.

Anita took this of me earlier today, using my favourite box camera. First of all though, I had to roll a 120 film onto a 620 spindle, and load it i the camera. After using up the film, I had to develop and fix the film, rinse it, dry it, then scan it. All since this afternoon with a slight disability to the right hand. Just hope my doc doesn't read this!

Pilsbury, the logger, was a tough survivor. He wasn't book-learned, but he had an innate knowledge of his surroundings, & an instinct for survival. He knew he would be driving loggin' trucks all his life. He didn't know anything else. He was part of a tight-knit fraternity of like-minded individuals. Headstrong. Predictable. Serious. But his story was different than most...Pilsbury was cut from loggin' stock. His whole family, & extended family, had all been loggers--back to when mules hauled-out the logs. His brother-in-law ran the mill in Noti{NO-tie}, Ore-gin. Pilsbury had been driving logging trucks since he was 16. Hauling logs was the only life he knew. The furthest he'd gone from his birthplace, in Walton, was Eugene. & of course, to the coast, by Waldport. That's all the distance he had ever yearned to go-except once-when he had wanted to go to Portland, to see Elvis. "The Elvis"! Elvis Presley! But he missed that chance. His sister, Zona, did get to go with his brother-in-law, Harry. Pilsbury had to babysit Zona's 8 kids--that night, Harry & Zona were livin' it up @ "The Elvis Concert"--probably painting-the-town, in Portland! That pissed him off for years afterwards, but Pilsbury kept it to himself! Pilsbury was that type of guy!
Apologies for the weird colours, as it was a bit dark in here and I just can't get them to look right, but it gives you an idea. A fairly clean and basic plate here, though bacon was decent, and the egg rather overcooked. At Back to Basics 2Go, Foley Street.
Made the lifetime decision today :)
I did a review of Outliers for a publication & this was the cover. I tossed & turned, wondering how to best 'pose' & frame it... In the end, I just decided to go back to basics & shot it as it is.
We often overcomplicate things, don't we? HBW!

Achieved using only a primitive orbing kit per the link above.
It has been an age since I cracked out some orbs and the lack of
practice soon caught up on me when my hand cramped up on only the 5th
shot. Very lame bearing in mind I've done an hour straight in the
past.
All 5 shots I attempted tonight used a 2-colour combo which meant I
had to find a best method of stopping the swing without really
screwing up the form of the orb. Both strings had a knot in them to
act as a grip, and the knots were made the same distance away from the
weight clips in order to keep size consistency. Upon completion of
each colour spin I pulled the string up sharply in order to stifle the
decreasing rotations and hide the smaller lines of light within the
bigger form. Think it worked ok. Both orbs were on uneven surfaces
with slight slopes so they were never going to be spot on.
I might persist with these from time to time as I like the simplicity
of the set up. No soldering, wiring prep, etc etc.
SOOC
My friends and I went to the Christina Aguilera "Back to Basics" concert. We met up with John Groo and Ronnie for dinner at a Mexican restaurant and Carl, Anthony and I went to the Hartford Civic Center for the show :P
Here's who performed:

Inspired by this group I got a 27 exposure disposable camera and had some fun.
I loved looking through its viewfinder. There is something liberating about the fact that you can control little beyond composition.
This was the very first shot on the roll.
No editing involved.
Love the blue distorted edges and how the shadows of the tree branches came out exactly like they felt, cool and steel blue.
Yellow letterbox was more yellow in real life...or maybe that was me.

The birds chirping in the early light of dawn, the babble of a stream as it rushes towards the ocean. Sometimes even the colors the morning bring out has it's own music. To hear this one must listen quietly for this music is that of the Earth. There is nothing as beautiful as the dawn of a new day.
ODC "Back to Basics"
Back to real food and away from the processed as much as possible. I have to admit that I don't know if these are edible and will not be experimenting here, but it was a good chance to illustrate the direction we have chosen to go with our diet. They are most likely Armillaria mellea - Honey Mushrooms which I believe are edible,
I took a small bowl of the leftover vegs/chicken from one of the stocks that wouldn't fit in my mom's Tupperware and the dregs of the condensed, strained stock that (again) wouldn't fit into a Tupperware and pureed it with a bit of water to make a chicken noodle-less soup for my dad... he's having a Hell of a week so why not spread the comfort, I ask? If I could find our ice cube trays I'd be a whole lot happier, stock cubes in a baggie are easier to store than containers!

I've been doing a lot of experimenting with new subject matter and new techniques in my photography lately. I thought it might be time to go back to basics and post something reminiscent of the photos that garnered me most of you wonderful contact in the first place - flowers and bokeh. ;)
So, this one's for you, all my loyal Flickr friends, the inspiration you offer through your art and the joy you provide in letting me know that my work has been seen and appreciated is beyond measure. Thank you!

It was hard work taking my huge Canon 70-200 lens into the club cos it weighs so much but got a few good shots...and this is straight outta the lens, with no post processing!
By the way the night was a little disappointing, cos the club was so fucking cold! Most people had left by 4am including 3 of my friends due to the door to the smoking area outside being open all the time! People who run Godskitchen please take note!

It also offers strong lightfastness and has both Teflon and antibacterial finishes.

Plein Air
The counterpart to Al Fresco, outdoor upholstery Plein Air is woven from polyethylene and polyester with a double-beam construction to suggest the appearance of rattan, while providing increased wearability and affordability. Available in 7 colorways*, its classic twill pattern looks refined in the neutral shades Snow, Granite, and Sand, but also looks fresh in the blue shades of Morning Sky and Lagoon. 54” Plein Air is remarkably durable, passing 200,000 double rubs (Wyzenbeek). It also has a polyester backing and antibacterial finish, making it the perfect pattern for any outdoor setting.
