For Obscura Day, it was a trip to Fermilab, the geek Mecca in Batavia, Illinois.
Broken Symmetry, on the Pine Street Entrance. It's a three-span arch, painted black on one side and orange on the other.
Fermilab has decided to ban photography groups from taking tours. To quote Katie Yurkewicz, the Fermi PR person
"Our tour program is not designed to accommodate groups whose primary interest is photography. We are not resourced to be able to regularly guide such tours safely."

Dropped my camera while being searched on the way in to a concert (the fellow didn't mind the camera, he just didn't give me enough time to put it away and it fell before making it into my pocket)...battery door is busted..@#$@$%!!
Oddly it "works" if you let the lone remaining clip back by the hinge secure it and can see the batteries. Holding it shut firmly seems to be more hit or miss power wise...
Update: Dropped it off to be shipped out for repair. Estimate is $65 dollars and may take 6-12 weeks...
Along with Brian Burton, The Shins' James Mercer makes up the other half of Broken Bells.

The light on this window was pretty cool. I don't know if the glass was broken during the fire of after, but it's pretty cool to see it still mostly together with the crackled look.
More from this location.

BEHIND THE SCENES:
Once again I decided to keep this one simple. No props, just me and the light... although I had no idea what I wanted to do exactly. So without a preconceived notion I flipped my hair forward. Then as the shutter fired I arose, lifting my hair back I raised my arms, shielding myself from the light. And as I look at the end result I'm a bit baffled that such a simple movement can produce such a thought provoking image. One that could have so many meanings. I love that my sleeves look like a representation of wings, as if this character is about to take flight. There's a yearning about her, a wanting. Also a curiosity or some kind of discovery. I titled it 'Broken Wings' because there's something heavenly about the tone of this image. I don't know, maybe it's the Rapture?
SET-UP / PROCESS:
I used one continuous soft light, a black back-drop, and stood a large suitcase on its end to prop my iPhone in the handle bracket. Kneeling down, I used a timer (Slow Shutter Cam) to give myself 5-seconds to get into position, dragging the shutter for 8-seconds.
In post processing I used a DistressedFX filter that took just seconds to apply on my iPhone :)
APPS USED:
Slow Shutter Cam, DistressedFX

A broken window to a factory. Inside there were some kind of printing machines and a lot of paper, clearly still used but a little neglected to say the least.
I think I posted another part of this mural earlier, but I really like this section of it too. Click the 'Broken City' tag to see them both.
