The first two tapes I digitized both feature cups on the cover of the cassettes. Here's the story of the one on the left. On the right is a homemade sampler by Leah Kaufman I acquired at my second Folk Alliance Conference in 1994 in Portland, OR. She's somewhat better known than Diana Kirk, (or at least I've been luckier at finding out more info) and later produced a wonderful CD called "Five Fingers" Some of the songs on this cassette are also on that CD, but the versions are quite different. Just Leah and the guitar. What a wonderful voice!
This photograph was made using a Nikon FM3A SLR camera with the 24 mm f/2.8 AF lens and Ilford FP4+ black & white film developed in xtol.
The film was developed by www.teamframkallning.se and digitized using my Nikon D610 DSLR + 105 mm macro lens. Then I have processed the RAW files in Adobe Lightroom: inverting the curve, dust removal, cropping, slight sharpening (with masking to exclude the grain), and adjusting exposure, contrast, white point / black point.
(The vignetting was my own fault and not the lens', as I didn't just use the wrong lens hood but also managed to put a 52 mm orange filter on it...)
On December 24, 2024, I picked up my venerable Leica M3 year 1956 (see below for details) for a photowalk in Lyon city, France. I went to Fourvière, enjoying a not too cold (6°C) and clear sunny weather.
My Leica was loaded with a 36-exposure Ilford HP5+ film. I equipped the Summicron 2/5cm lens with a Hoya HMC AUV screw-on 39mm protective filter plus the Leitz shade hood for all indoor scenes, and outdoor I mounted a push-on 42mm FOCA (France) Yellow x2.5 filter and a generic cylindrical stainless steel hood that, unfortunately, induced some vignette if not perfectly aligned, that should be corrected during the processing). I should find a 39mm screw-on filter more safe to use with my Summicron 2/5cm,
Expositions were determined for the indicated 400 ISO (28 DIN) using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas and erected for the filter absorption if any.
The outside temperature was about 6°C with a bright sunny weather in the afternoon. Typically exposures outdoor were made at 1/250s with apertures ranging from f/8 to 11 and 1/50s or 1/25s at full aperture f/2 or f/2.8 indoor.

After exposure, the film was processed in Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+25 and 20°C for 6 min. The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures. All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
About the camera and the lens :
This Leica M3 circa 1956 (Ref. Leitz ISUMO), double stroke, was sold to me with a Leitz Wetzlar Summicron collapsible normal lens 1:2 f=5cm of the same period equipped with a 39mm screw-on protective filter, a 42mm push-on Leica lens cap and an original Leitz shade hood (Ref. Leitz IROOA).
The camera was serviced in Paris, France, in 2018 by Gérard Métrot at Photo-Suffren, (a Leica boutique) who worked on the maintenance of camera's of famous French photographers as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau. The camera was inspected by Odéon-Photo, Paris, another historic Leica place in Paris, in April 2024.
I sourced at the same time in Germany a stunning Leitz Leica leather bag (Ref; Leitz IDCOO) of the same model that appeared on the back cover page go the Leica brochure year 1954. This bag can accommodate the camera and a mounted Leica-Meter type M. The interior in covered with a carmin velvet in perfect condition.
The Leica M3 is one of the most iconic range-finder 35mm camera of the 50's and the 60's. It was produced in Wetzlar, Germany, in different versions at 226178 exemplars, between 1954 (n° 700000) and 1966 (n° 1164865, www.summilux.net/materiel/Leica-M3) . The Leica M3 was the result of the study of a "super-Leica" that was started before WWII and only achieved in the 50'S.
The greater improvement of the M3 compared the classical Leica's was in a magnificent and very complex range-finder combined to the view finder permitting the framing with the two eyes open, integrating the frame in the real and normal vision. The shutter integrates too the normal and the slow speeds in the same barillet. The film advance of this version of Leica M3 is also the typical "double-stroke" advance that was exclusive to the Leica M3 first versions.
The camera was transported to me from Paris to Lyon, France on April 26, 2024 and the bag arrived the day after.
whatlander: medievalpoc: ^ This is the British Library Digitized Manuscripts Site. A lot of people have asked about my process doing research for medievalpoc. I use a lot of resources and tools that are readily available for anyone to use, and this is one of them. There are thousands of manuscripts available to just page through and zoom in on, as if you had the book right in front of you. If the idea of searching through endless lists of titles and numbers is daunting to you, the Digitized Medieval Manuscripts Collection has a blog. The blog makes topical posts with images of the manuscripts according to those topics, and then links to the full manuscripts, so you can go looking at them yourself: Like so: You can learn what the heck a Leucrota is supposed to be here. They also have a Twitter. One of the best things about medievalpoc is that I get to see people get excited about art and history, and if you decide you’d like to go exploring, this is a great place to do that. I think the manuscript viewer is relatively user-friendly, and there’s a ton of information about the histories of the manuscripts themselves there, too. I wish I could know how the people who illuminated these would react if you told them that one day their books would be duplicated into an incoporeal form that anyone in the world can summon at will with the right equipment. Well, considering none of the above creatures actually exist, seems like they’d probably take it in stride. ;) Magic and dragons kinda go together TBH
I took this photo lying on my back, looking backward. After processing I immediatly imagined the 1979 album by Ten Years After namend "Stonedhenge".
This is a close up of the thermometer at Smitty’s Garage. I like this view because it emphasizes the mixture of commercial and residential space on this block – (a concept that used to be known as a neighborhood).
I made an edited version of this image because I felt sketching up the background a bit would highlight the two land uses in a subtle way. Also, I just really like manipulating images. Pushing the pixels around is a real power surge.

Edited Digitized Sky Survey 2 (by way of the European Southern Observatory) image of the region around the galaxy NGC 1025. Color/processing variant.
Original caption: This image shows the sky around the ultra diffuse galaxies NGC 1052-DF4 and NGC 1052-DF2. It was created from images forming part of the Digitized Sky Survey 2. NGC 1052-DF2 is basically invisible in this image. In 2018 an international team of researchers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and several other observatories uncovered, for the first time, a galaxy in our cosmic neighbourhood that is missing most of its dark matter. This discovery of the galaxy NGC 1052-DF2 was a surprise to astronomers, as it was understood that Dark matter (DM) is a key constituent in current models of galaxy formation and evolution. In fact, without the presence of DM, the primordial gas would lack enough gravity pull to start collapsing and forming new galaxies. A year later, another galaxy that misses dark matter was discovered, NGC 1052-DF4, which further triggered intense debates among astronomers about the nature of these objects. Now, new Hubble data have been used to explain the reason behind the missing dark matter in NGC 1052-DF4, which resides 45 million light-years away, providing further evidence for tidal disruption. By studying the galaxy’s light and globular cluster distribution, astronomers have concluded that the gravity forces of the neighbouring galaxy NGC 1035 stripped the dark matter from NGC 1052-DF4 and are now tearing the galaxy apart.

Well, after yesterday's disappointed shoot, I decided to take a different concept with these two images. Instead of a person's identity being melted away from them like water in the previous images, I decided to show how technology eats away at us. The CDs represent the ever impending reliance on digital media/technology, which will one day result in a chaos if it were to fail.
I'm not sure I like the one and a half eyes having the CD. There was a glare on the CD, which can easily be seen on the left side of the right CD. We'll see what other's like.
In the distance you can see "Glengarriff Harbour" (bay). In the far distance is Bantry Bay, Whiddy Island and Bantry.

My first attempt at digitization of my sketches. I will need to print it out to get a true feeling of how its working but on screen its not looking too bad.

A petroglyph is an image created on rock by scraping or in other ways creating that image in the rock surface. They are found world-wide and are usually associated with ancient peoples but these petroglyphs range from as old as 16,000 years and some are estimated to be as recent as the 1800s.

Fifteen more issues of Third World have digitized and added to the Spark Collection.
Third World was an independent Washington, D.C. area tabloid newspaper dedicated to Black liberation that began publishing in September 1969 and continued through at least 1973.
The paper concentrated on news of Black liberation, Pan-Africanism, and providing news stories and interviews related to black political thought. It also published poems, photographs and other artwork and reviewed performances of black artists.
It usually featured an interview or in-depth story with prominent Black Nationalists, Pan-Africanists, writers, poets, musicians, artists and community activists. In its later years it featured a column written by Government Employees United Against Racial Discrimination (GUARD).
The paper was financed through both sales (25 cents per copy) and advertisements, although donations played a major role. It was owned by Jan Bailey and edited by John W. Lewis Jr.
Distribution was through both street sellers who were usually children who kept a portion of the sales money, subscriptions and through retail outlets. The paper’s goal was 24 issues per year, but publication varied between two and four weeks.

Mexican researchers work to digitize the Codex Mendoza Mexican researchers working on the 16th-century Codex Mendoza are pioneers in efforts to bring important archaeological documents that provide prime sources for the study of pre-Columbian Mexico into the digital era. The goal is “to make the Mexican codices accessible for a wider audience,” National Anthropology and History Institute, or INAH, expert Ernesto Miranda said in an interview with Efe. Read More
