After digging for 40 minutes I found the trash. After literally removing an entire dumpster of trash.
In Barcelona, Spain, 2010, Parc de Joan Miró
Original shots taken with a Fujifilm Finepix A500 5Mp compact digital camera, various post processing.
Story: After I put up the video of my retouching on the Jonnie Walker shot I got a meeting with a company that makes cosmetics. Since I didn't really have any cosmetics in my book I spent some quality time shooting specifically for that meeting. This was actually the shot that I started with. I knew I wanted a shot of a compact and this was basically the most difficult compact to shoot I could find. The entire thing is mirrored.
Lighting: The compact is sitting on a white seamless and there are two lights. There is a bare dynalite 2040 head from camera left providing the hard shadow. Then there is another bare head from camera right pointed to the seamless and that is what is providing the light fall off for the top. If the seamless is one color then the chrome doesn't look chrome so you have to get some light fall off. In addition to the two lights there is also a reflector right in front and a reflector overhead. The camera is just able to get between the two reflectors which is why the compact is small on the sensor in the before shot. I really needed that bit of light on the edge around the actual makeup.
Ich habe des öfteren darüber nachgedacht, warum Hunde ein derart kurzes Leben haben, und bin zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass dies aus Mitleid mit der menschlichen Rasse geschieht; denn da wir bereits derart leiden, wenn wir einen Hund nach zehn oder zwölf Jahren verlieren, wie groß wäre der Schmerz, wenn sie doppelt so lange lebten?

Compact shelving holds the science and engineering books at the Hesburgh Library at the University of Notre Dame. This is my second attempt at trychromatic photography, this time an inside shot under fluorescent lighting. I used Tri-X 320 4x5 film in the Graflex Speed Graphic with the 127mm Ektar lens. Three successive photos were taken using a red Wratren 25 filter, a green
Wratten 58 filter and a blue Wratten 47B filter. The exposure time was 4 seconds at f/5.6 based on metering through the green lens using a Sekonic L-758DR. The film was developed in HC110 B. The scans were aligned in Photoshop CS5 and then channel merged to RGB. Some color correction was necessary.
Architect: James Herbert Brownell (1962)
Developer: Pearce & Co.
Builder: Fergin-Griffin Co.
Location: San Diego (Pacific Beach), CA
Brownell was an architect based in Corona Del Mar, just up the road in Orange County. These sixteen homes demonstrate an ingenious solution to a series of narrow, sloping lots with views on one side. The solution was to build them as row homes, and push them as far up the hill as possible to maximize the views.
This is from an ad that appeared in the local newspaper at the time.
Working on this, know it doesn't show really a lot of detail and generic. The plan is to develop it out into a full family with a thin to this being the heavy. We will see how it goes. I have all the uppercase sketched out but need to do lowercase which will be hell.
My recently acquired Walther PPK .32 ACP pistol.
Just for the curious, PPK stands for Polizei Pistole Kriminal Modell or Police Pistol Detective Model. It was first issued in 1931 in 7.65mm (.32 ACP) and made to be used for undercover police work. They were also issued to German military police, Luftwaffe and Nazi Party members during WWII. Hitler committed suicide with his PPK. Also famous for being James Bond's sidearm.
Most PPKs in the US were made under license by INTERARMS or Smith & Wesson (which is who made this PPK) due to laws on importing firearms this small.
(Note: This is a PPK and not a PPK/S, which uses a larger frame to hold an extra round of ammo)
One of the advantages of being a regular rental customer appears to be that sometimes one gets a rather large compact car.
I don't usually rent compacts, as they are not quite comfortable enough for the seven plus hours driving to and from the diocesan office in Kansas City (around 340 miles return trip).
I'm only going to Carthage and on to Joplin this weekend so I thought a $9 per day compact would suit the bill and be good stewardship too. This is what they gave me :)

A pair of GX85s with the 12-35 and 35-100 Vario collapsing zooms along with the Oly 12/2, Panny 20/1.7, and Panny 8mm fisheye. Still weighs close to four pounds though!
The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
Las Ruinas de Tulum. Tulum Ruins. Mexico. Oct/2016
Tulum archaeological site is relatively compact compared with many other Maya sites in the vicinity, and is one of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites. Its proximity to the modern tourism developments along the Mexican Caribbean coastline and its short distance from Cancún and the surrounding "Riviera Maya" has made it a popular Maya tourist site in the Yucatan.
It was the site of a Mayan port which was supported by up to 1000 residents before the arrival of the Spanish. The ruin's tropical beach backdrop is the main attraction of this picturesque, much-visited small ruin on the shore of the Caribbean Sea
Each Mayan city had a specific purpose, and Tulum was no exception. It was a seaport, trading mainly in turquoise and jade.
As well as being the only Mayan city built on a coast, Tulum was one of the few protected by a wall.
Made of limestone, the 784-metre wall encloses the site on three sides, is seven metres thick, and varies between three and five metres in height. No doubt this fortification helped preserve the seaport.
Like the questions which surround the decline of the Mayan world, there are several theories as to why a wall surrounds Tulum. One has a Mayan population of 600 on the inside, protected from invaders. Another suggests only priests and nobility were housed within the walls, while peasants were kept on the outside.
After entering the ruins through one of five doorways in the wall, visitors are greeted by a field of gently-rolling hills. Black and grey stone outcroppings, which were once buildings, dot the sun-baked landscape.

A península mexicana de Yucatan, onde ficam as cidades de Cancun e Playa del Carmen, é uma região que foi habitada séculos atrás pela civilização maia. As antigas cidades ocupadas por este povo agora são ruínas preservadas e tornaram-se atrações turísticas muito visitadas. Um dos sítios arqueológicos mais importantes é o de Tulum, a cidade murada que se encontra de frente para o mar do caribe mexicano.
Esta cidade era designada pelos maias pelo nome de Zamá, que significa cidade da aurora. Tulum é também uma palavra maia para barreira ou parede, o que se entende facilmente pois a cidade encontra-se rodeada de espessa muralha protectora.
O primeiro a identificar a cidade foi Juan Díaz, que em 1518 fazia parte da expedição de Juan de Grijalva. A sua descrição de Tulum é a de uma cidade rica e magnífica, à imagem de Sevilha na Espanha. No entanto, o primeiro estudo detalhado do sítio deveu-se aos famosos exploradores John Lloyd Stephens e Frederick Catherwood, que publicaram em 1843 o livro Incidents of Travel in Yucatan.
Actualmente, milhares de turistas visitam as ruínas de Tulum diariamente, sobretudo em excursões organizadas. Tulum é o terceiro sítio arqueológico do México mais visitado atrás de Teotihuacan e Chichén Itzá e à frente de Monte Albán.
