Hubo un momento en mi experiencia con la pintura, con el tratamiento de la luz y el color, que me quedé maravillado ante el descubrimiento de Turner. Cuadros como “el barco de guerra Temeraire…” consiguieron que me atreviera a jugar con los colores directamente sobre el lienzo, sin modelo, contando sólo con mi imaginación y la técnica que iba asimilando. Así llegué a colgar en las paredes de casa unas cuantas obras a las que iba titulando “homenaje a Turner 1, 2,…” Ayer, cuando me topé con el libro que resume su obra tardía, que habla sobre el mundo de la luz y del color, aproveché para componer este trabajo sobre el “bookface”, apoyándome en una de mis obras y publicar así algo sobre el interesante tema propuesto en el reto fotográfico de este mes.
“No lo pinté para que fuera entendido, sino porque quería mostrar cómo luce semejante espectáculo”

Our beautiful Galaxy rises behind Almer Hut, way up above Franz Josef Glacier.
We'll be heading back here next week (fingers crossed) with another 7 nights checking out the sights the West Coast has to offer, can't wait!

Many people would look at a dreary rainy day like this and see no reason to even get up and go shoot.
I AM one of those people!
Make no mistake about it! The ONLY reason I was up and out was because I had a client shoot in Bowie scheduled for 9am anyway and though I know better than to pay attention to weather forecasts, the report said rains weren't really going to start up until 7 or 8am. And at 4:45am, the clouds in my area didn't look like the worst thing in the world. I was wrong.
So yes, photogs, when the weather is like this, stay home because there's nothing to shoot, hence the file names. No point in making something like this a b/w when really... it's b/w already.
Funny thing is, Betty Horne Fowler posted a shot from the same spot to Maryland Beauty on bookface. I don't know her but we must have just missed each other. I took about 3 shots and left because I had to get back to Bowie.
Check her shot out:

Its a great event when such a man as Paul dies; when a man sagacious to plan, wise to impart counsel, vigorous to execute great designs, is withdrawn from the earth; when lips, once eloquent in the cause of truth, become silent; when he who guided the young, warned the wicked, strengthened the feeble, comforted the sorrowful, animated the desponding, is seen no more; when he who brought the richness of his experience, and the maturity of his judgment, to aid the great interests of truth and humanity, has passed away.
Albert Barnes on the death of the Apostle Paul

after i made this photograph we started talking and then I knew why i wanted to make this photograph.. this man had lived.. it was a whole story to listen what he's been trough..
Very amazing!
Something straight from the prop-box today, and inspired by the fact I've been doing a lot of reading on my Kindle (one of the lock images is quite similar).
This is a typeball - colloquially known as a golfball - for an IBM Selectric typewriter.
The IBM Selectric typewriter was a highly successful model line of electric typewriters introduced by IBM on 31 July 1961.
Instead of the"basket" of individual typebars that swung up to strike the ribbon and page in a traditional typewriter, the Selectric had a type element (frequently called a "typeball", or more informally, a "golf ball") that rotated and pivoted to the correct position before striking. The type element could be easily changed so as to print different fonts in the same document, resurrecting a capacity that had been pioneered by the Blickensderfer typewriter 60 years before. The Selectric also replaced the traditional typewriter's moving carriage with a paper roller ("platen") that stayed in position while the typeball and ribbon mechanism moved from side to side.
The Selectric mechanism was notable for using internal mechanical binary coding and two mechanical binary-digital-to-analog converters, called whiffletree linkages, to select the character to be typed.
Selectrics and their descendants eventually captured 75 percent of the United States market for electric typewriters used in business. IBM replaced the Selectric line with the IBM Wheelwriter in 1984 and transferred its typewriter business to the newly formed Lexmark in 1991
The Selectric typewriter was introduced on 23 July 1961. Its industrial design is credited to influential American designer Eliot Noyes. Noyes had worked on a number of design projects for IBM; prior to his work on the Selectric, he had been commissioned in 1956 by Thomas J. Watson, Jr. to create IBM's first house style: these influential efforts, in which Noyes collaborated with Paul Rand, Marcel Breuer, and Charles Eames, have been referred to as the first "house style" program in American business.
The Selectric remained unchanged until 1971 when the Selectric II was introduced. The original design was thereafter referred to as the Selectric I. These machines used the same 88-character typing elements. However they differed from each other in many respects:
The Selectric II was available with a Dual Pitch option to allow it to be switched (with a lever at the top left of the "carriage") between 10 and 12 characters per inch, whereas the Selectric I had one fixed "pitch".
The Selectric II had a lever (at the top left of the "carriage") that allowed characters to be shifted up to a half space to the left (for centring text, or for inserting a word one character longer or shorter in place of a deleted mistake), whereas the Selectric I did not. This option was available only on dual pitch models.
Stylistically, the Selectric II was squarer at the corners, whereas the Selectric I was rounder.
The Selectric I, Selectric II, and all of the "Magnetic Card" and "Magnetic Tape" variations except for the Composers, used the same typing elements. These were available in many fonts, including symbols for science and mathematics, OCR faces for scanning by computers, cursive script, "Old English" (fraktur), and more than a dozen ordinary alphabets. The Israeli typographer Henri Friedlaender designed the Hebrew fonts Hadar, Shalom & Aviv for the Selectric. The Selectric III and "Electronic Typewriters" used a new 96-character element.
IBM also produced computer terminals based on the Selectric mechanism, some of which (all models of the IBM 1050 series, and IBM 2741 models using "PTTC/BCD" code) used a different encoding. Though the elements were physically interchangeable, the characters were differently arranged, so that standard Selectric elements could not be used in them, and their elements could not be used in standard Selectrics. On the other hand, IBM 2741s using "correspondence coding" used standard office Selectric elements. The IBM 1130 computer used a Selectric mechanism as the console printer.
There were two visibly different styles of mechanical design for the elements. The original models had a metal spring clip with two wire wings that were squeezed together to release the element from the typewriter. Later models had a plastic lever on a metal moulded around a metal axle which pried apart the now-internal spring clip. This had a tendency to break where the lever joined the axle. The Selectric element was later redesigned to have an all-plastic lever.
The font size was measured not in points but in pitches that is the number of letters per one inch of the typed line. As a result 12-pitch fonts (12 letters per inch) were actually smaller than 10-pitch fonts (10 letters per inch), and roughly corresponded to the 10pt and 12pt traditional typographic font sizes
