Berlin....2014 February 16th
C/O Berlin presents in cooperation with the Berlinale - Berlin International Film Festival the project Close Up!
Thirteen young photographers are given the assignment of presenting their personal view of the Berlinale in all its diversity - the red carpet, glamorous film stars, hectic staff, or behind-the-scenes secrets. Each participant will decide on a theme, embark on a search for motifs, select images, and put together a series of works for exhibition. The photographs will be shown at C/O Berlin in front of the Amerika Haus at the conclusion of the Berlinale and the best series will receive an award.
This years participants are: Simon Becker, Xiomara Bender, Susanne Erler, Carina Feneis, Dominik Fleischmann, Sveta Goldstein, Sabine Kelka, Przemyslaw Nieciecki, Christin Raubuch, Christian Sarges, Jasmin Scherer, Milena von Bruchhausen and Karol Wysmyk.
For a few years, whenever I would see a helm that captures the imagination, I'd find something to write with and sketch out the details.

CP 9840 is coming off the east end of the Sicamous swing bridge with the third in a row of empty coal wagons.
Another close up of the completed top -- some of my favorite blocks (and one of the most troublesome) in this shot.
On May 23, 2014, numerous campaign groups, led by the US-based Witness Against Torture, and including the "Close Guantanamo" campaign (of which I am a co-founder), held a global day of action calling for President Obama to immediately release from Guantanamo 77 prisoners (out of the 154 men still held) who have been cleared for release, either by the Guantanamo Review Task Force the president established in 2009, or, in recent months, by Periodic Review Boards, and to revisit his failed promise to close the prison. The London event - a silent protest in Trafalgar Square - was organised by the London Guantanamo Campaign. These are the protestors in front of the National Gallery, and behind them is giant-sized inflatable figure of Shaker Aamer, the last British resident in the prison, who is still held despite being cleared for release under President Bush in 2007 and President Obama in 2009.
The worldwide protests, under the rallying cry, "Not Another Broken Promise! Not Another Day in Guantanamo!" were called to mark the first anniversary of President Obama's promise to resume releasing prisoners from the prison, which he made in a major speech on national security issues on May 23, 2013. He was obliged to address the plight of the prisoners last year after the men had embarked on a prison-wide hunger strike, in despair about ever being released or being given anything resembling justice. Since his promise last May, President Obama has released just 12 prisoners.

Photographer Nick Whitman has been photographing this 140- to 175-year-old sugar maple tree in the Science Quad for a number of years. This winter, the tree was deemed unsafe and had to be removed. Students in Whitman's Winter Study course on landscape photography took these photos and created this tribute to the tree.
The course, "Landscape Photography," broadens students' appreciation for the appearance and history of the landscape and teaches the skills of making a successful photograph.
I happened to find my Novoflex Auto Bellows over the weekend. And like my macro lens and 400 mm I thought these wouldn't work with the digital camera either. I was surprised when I hooked everything up and it worked.
This was taken with the 18-55 mm lens at 55 with bellows extended to full and f32.
I gave the glass on the pocket watch a good clean, but at these magnifications no scratch is left untouched. Used this to my advantage with a over sharpen and slight glass filter texture to come up with this effect.
Can't wait till the weekend with some good natural light to experiment some more.
as i end this semester and look forward to a new one, i realize that i will probably never have a more positive critique than the one monday night. the critics had no critiques, so i was instructed to muck up a bit, to get dirty. i was told to forget about technique, get a cheap-ass camera. damned right. i see a whole new worlds unfolding.
