On December 19, 2024, I paid a visit to the two museums hosted in Gadagne, an imposing Renaissance ensemble in Lyon St-Jean, France. The first museum in devoted to the Puppetry and the second is the Lyon's History Museum (www.gadagne-lyon.fr/en).
I loaded my Nikon F4 (year 1989, see the details about the camera bellow) with a Rollei RPX 400 which is the former formula of the Agfa APX 400. The film cartridge is DX-coded and I did not modified the nominal DX-coded 400 ISO sensitivity.
I choose the AF Nikkor lens 1:1.8 f=85mm with a protective Hoya HMC UV 62mm screw-on filter plus its dedicated Nikon HN-23 metal shade hood. I brought along too the Nikon SB-26 flashlight in my bag in case of necessity.

After at view 30, the last seven views were completed the day after with a series a views of my Hasselblad 500 C/M camera at home. The film was then rewound (manually) and processed the film developed using 350 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer prepared at the dilution 1+25 for 12min30 at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta Auto Bellows with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.1.1) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.

About the camera :
Maybe it would have been better not to ask for this question: « what’s new do you have at the moment?» to my local photo store, because Christine grab underneath the counter, stating « I have that … » . What a beast ! A Nikon F4 in the exact state of the Nikon brochure year 1990, presented with the standard AF Nikkor 1:1.4 f=50mm. I was already hooked by the machine. After two days, I decided to buy it even with some little common issues found on early Nikon F4 (see below), fortunately not affecting the whole, numberous functions of this incredibly complex professional SLR of the year 1990’s.
Nikon F4 came to the market on September 1988 starting with the serial number 2.000.000. Fully manufactured in Japan (modules came from 3 different Nikon factories) the F4's were assembled in Mito, Ibaraki (North to Tokyo) Nikon plant (no more in the mother factory of Tokyo Oi like the Nikon’s F). When I lived in Tokyo in 1990-1991, Nikon F4 was the top-of-the-line of Nikon SLR camera’s. I saw it in particular in Shinjuku Bic Camera store when I bought there, in December 1990 my Nikonos V.
Nikon F4 incorporates many astonishing engineering features as the double vertical-travel curtain shutter capable of the 1/8000s. Compared to the Nikon F3, the F4 was an AF SLR operated by a CCD sensor (200 photo sites). The film is automatically loaded, advanced with to top speed of 5,7 frame/s !! With the MB-21 power grip (F4s version). The F4 is a very heavy camera (1.7kg with the AF Nikkor 1.4/50mm), incredibly tough and well constructed. This exemplary is devoid of any scratches or marks, and in a condition proving that it was not used for hard professional appliances, for those it was however intended. The camera has still it original Nikon neck strap, the original user manual in French. The lens is protected by a Cokin (Franc) Skylight 1A 52mm filter and the original Nikon front cap. The two small LCD displays (one on the F4 body, one in the DP-20 finder) are both affected by the classical syndrome of « bleeding ». Fortunately, all information could still be read. One says that 70% of the early Nikon F4 suffer from this problem but also found on other models.
According its serial number and the production rate of about 5000 units/month, this Nikon F4s was probably manufactured in Mito, Ibaraki, Japan in May 1989.
The camera was exported abroad thereafter attested by the presence of the golden oval little sticker("Passed" on the DP-20 viewfinder. In order to certify the quality production, two Japanese organizations, the Japan Camera Industry Institute (JCII) and the Japan Machinery Design Center (JMDC), joined forces to verify and mark the conformity of products for the foreign market. This is how, between the 1950s and 1980s, this famous little gold sticker was affixed, with the legendary "Passed", meaning that the device had been checked. Finally, when we say that the device had been checked, the production line had been checked because each device could not be checked individually.

About the flash :
I received from a German seller for 50€ this Nikon Speedlight electronic flash SB-26 that was, at the time of Nikon F4, the most powerful dedicated Nikon flash (Guide Number 36 at full power and 100 ISO).
The SB-26 communicates with the Nikon F4 body (and many other Nikon camera's) and can be operated in many different modes including TTL real-time metering with automatic equilibration of the ambient light using the 5-zone matrix metering done by the DP-20 photometric viewer as well in the center-weighted mode. Other possibilities include the normal TTL mode, an Auto mode using the own sensor of the flash and a manual mode with 7 power levels.
The flash head can cover the optical field from super-wide angle lenses 18-20mm, wide-angle lenses 28mm and 35mm, normal lenses 50mm, and long-focal lenses at 70mm and 85mm. The head can be rotated according two axis for indirect lightening. In addition, the SB-26 has a special focusing aid for the Nikon F4 autofocus system, projecting in the the darkness a red focusing image. SB-23 flash can be also used as master or slave flash in a coordinated flash system.
The flash requires 4 AA alkaline cells for approximately 100 lights at full power and much more with energy recycling at lower power levels.

Devoted and Disgruntled 3: over 200 of us gathered together over the weekend of 5/6/7 January at York Hall, Bethnal Green for Improbable's third Devoted and Disgruntled, What are we doing about theatre?
It was wonderful to have so many people together at the beginning of the year to continue working on the issues that are important. The report generated by everyone over the three days is available to read in the shows section of the Improbable website.
My dear, devoted shadows,
There are moments when the music fades, the stage lights dim, and I find myself needing to retreat into a different kind of ritual. You know how much I love to play with the darkness, but I know many of you have a very specific… devotion… to the softer side of my aesthetic.
I recently spent an afternoon in one of my favorite hushed, stone sanctuaries for a photo series I’ve titled The Altar of My Feet. I wanted to create a space where your gaze could linger exactly where I know you want it most. There is something so intoxicating about the cold touch of an ancient altar against the warmth of my skin, and the way the candlelight catches the curve of an arch or the tips of my dark-clad toes.
A Ritual of Reveal
I’ll admit, I find a delicious kind of power in this indulgence. As I posed amidst the gargoyles and stained glass, I wasn't just thinking about the art—I was thinking about you. I was imagining your eyes tracing the delicate black ink on my skin and feeling the weight of your collective adoration.
The Sensation: The whisper of lace and the cool air of the cathedral on my bare soles.
The Tease: Knowing that while I am the one on the altar, it is your worship that brings the scene to life.
The Connection: My feet are my most private gift to you, a quiet "thank you" for the way you support my music and my soul.
I felt so beautifully exposed and yet so completely in control. It’s a rare thing to feel like a goddess and a temptress all at once, but seeing the way these photos turned out, I can see why you find it so hard to look away.

Before social media and the internet, we had to anticipate on when the next skate mag issue drops. In a world gone digital and instant news, @lucas_beaufort digs deep in his documentary film "DEVOTED" with the people behind your favorite skate mags such as @transworldskate, @thrashermag, @slap_pals, @bigbrotherskateboardmag, & etc. Going back from yesterday, today, and tomorrow. If you skate and/or can relate to this, we recommend you to watch it when you get the chance. Especially to our younger audience (who probably didn't get too far into reading this long caption considering today's attention span 😘).
Congrats Lucas on this film! 🙌👍👍

Chuck Davis devoted his life to being the expert on the city's history. In 2010 he was awarded the George Woodcock Award for an outstanding literary career in British Columbia.In his ambitious magnum opus, The Chuck Davis History of Metropolitan Vancouver, author Chuck Davis embraced 125 years of material, with the signature exuberance and talent for storytelling that made him one of Vancouver's most successful Tand beloved journalists and broadcasters. This volume includes influential characters both famous, like White Spot founder Nat Bailey, and nearly-forgotten, like Sara Anne McLagan, the first female publisher of a daily newspaper in Canada, plus many tales of eccentric locals and celebrity visitors. Here too are Vancouver's unforgettable and formative events, from the tragic collapse of the Second Narrows Bridge to the city's first rock 'n' roll concert ("the ultimate in musical depravity"). The story of how Vancouver grew from a ramshackle tumble of stumps, brush and crude wooden buildings to today's urban metropolis turns out to be interesting, complicated, frequently rancorous and occasionally even funny. And the book is, as the author hoped, "fun, fat and filled with facts."

On 26 February 2025, the auspicious day devoted to Lord Shiva, Maha-Shivaratri, was celebrated at the Shree Peetha Nilaya ashram with Paramahamsa Sri Vishwananda and over 1000+ participants.
A full day and night of activities began with the customary outside abhishekam to Hari Bhakta Poorna Shiva in the morning, and a lecture followed in the afternoon. In the evening, the main worship ceremonies consisted of four main abhishekams. Everyone offered water for each of the four abhishekams, spaced throughout the night into the morning of the next day, and an energetic seva team organised and gave prasad to everyone after each abhishekam.
The entire event was filled with vibrant kirtan to Shiva as well as to Krishna, the One on whom Lord Shiva meditates, and, despite staying up all night, the musicians, singers, and entire crowd kept the temple rocking. The final arati concluded the event after 6 am, after which vibhuti (holy ash) was distributed to everyone.

Beautiful views, homes and businesses in Manzanita, Oregon, my new favorite small town in the world!
My dear, devoted shadows,
There are moments when the music fades, the stage lights dim, and I find myself needing to retreat into a different kind of ritual. You know how much I love to play with the darkness, but I know many of you have a very specific… devotion… to the softer side of my aesthetic.
I recently spent an afternoon in one of my favorite hushed, stone sanctuaries for a photo series I’ve titled The Altar of My Feet. I wanted to create a space where your gaze could linger exactly where I know you want it most. There is something so intoxicating about the cold touch of an ancient altar against the warmth of my skin, and the way the candlelight catches the curve of an arch or the tips of my dark-clad toes.
A Ritual of Reveal
I’ll admit, I find a delicious kind of power in this indulgence. As I posed amidst the gargoyles and stained glass, I wasn't just thinking about the art—I was thinking about you. I was imagining your eyes tracing the delicate black ink on my skin and feeling the weight of your collective adoration.
The Sensation: The whisper of lace and the cool air of the cathedral on my bare soles.
The Tease: Knowing that while I am the one on the altar, it is your worship that brings the scene to life.
The Connection: My feet are my most private gift to you, a quiet "thank you" for the way you support my music and my soul.
I felt so beautifully exposed and yet so completely in control. It’s a rare thing to feel like a goddess and a temptress all at once, but seeing the way these photos turned out, I can see why you find it so hard to look away.

Devoted and Disgruntled 3: over 200 of us gathered together over the weekend of 5/6/7 January at York Hall, Bethnal Green for Improbable's third Devoted and Disgruntled, What are we doing about theatre?
It was wonderful to have so many people together at the beginning of the year to continue working on the issues that are important. The report generated by everyone over the three days is available to read in the shows section of the Improbable website.
