Make a photograph of a curved line or spherical surface today.
This gravestone is located in the Salisbury Colonial Burying Ground in Salisbury, MA. The cemetery dates back to 1639! The stone was most likely carved by John Hartshorn, a local gravestone carver.
Below is an interesting history of John Hartshorn. He liked to incorporate curved lines and pinwheels and whorls of all kinds on his stones:
John Hartshorn(e) (1650-c. 1737)
About 1722 Lieutenant John Hartshorne, then seventy years old, moved from Rowley, Massachusetts, to live with his daughter, Martha Ladd in Franklin, Connecticut. He had been the earliest rural carver of Essex County, Massachusetts, where stones continued to be carved in his tradition for several generations. He was one of the last surviving veterans of King Phillips War and he also survived a French and Indian raid on Haverhill, Massachusetts, in 1708, in which his third wife, his son, and three grandsons were killed. John Hartshorne brought his skills to Eastern Connecticut and established a carving tradition that persisted until the close of the eighteenth century. The work of John Hartshorne directly or indirectly influenced all of the later schist carvers in Eastern Connecticut. Hartshorne gravestones are very easily recognized. They are, with few exceptions, small stones, not much more than two feet in height. The three-lobed tops with lunettes that were sometimes relatively wide compared to the visible length of the stone are very easily spotted from a distance.
The face is blank and staring, the mouth a simple transverse bar, the nose straight and slender with eyes and head usually "framed" in a double circle. Hartshorne finials usually consist of four converging hearts, but the four-rayed rosettes, complex wheels and whorls like pin-wheels are represented. The border panels are variable; most frequently they consist of a series of reversed spirals, but include loops, hearts, and peculiar geometric designs. Norwichtown, Franklin, New London, Groton, Lebanon, and Mansfield are excellent places to see Harthshorne's work. The latest stone is dated 1737. Hartshorne footstones are always small and simple, usually with a cross in each upper corner and with only the name of the deceased included. In shore communities such as New London and Groton the lettering is quite different. These stones were purchased from Hartshorne and lettered by Joshua Hempstead of New London.

"Make a photograph of a curved line or spherical surface today."
So here's the deal: I was completely uninspired. Not by the prompt - I was just stuck at home and after having great things to shoot this weekend, I was in my apartment completely baffled by the lack of interesting subjects. And then I saw the curved sword of my son's pirate costume (which isn't actually what he's going to be anymore). But I wasn't happy with the shots of that. So I saw the eye patch, which is technically curved... So there you have it. Dread Pirate Ruxpin.

Found this person taking a picture in a sphere, today! Actually on the way home from work, and debated knocking on the door and asking permission to shoot the sphere, or just take 2 secs and 2 steps onto private property - well if I knocked and asked I could probably have polished the ball before the shoot, though I suppose that would be a good idea for a future shoot!

I've had this Martin knock off since I was 15; it's always been there for me (not sure it is reciprocal since I don;t play much better than back then).
For some reason, this out of focus shot was my favorite shot of the batch I shot this morning.
The photp caption is a tribute to the song by Caroline Aiken, an amazing guitarist i saw perform a while back in front of a much too small audience in Scottsdale.

It's a light. I wish it were the head of a robot, though. Bloop bloop bleep.

How about a curved line AND a spherical surface - 'brownie points'? Extra credit for canine hairs and saliva, too? ;) Naples, FL

Bah, this exam period is having effect on the time spent on the assignments, but I guess that's better than the other way around.
urgh, still feeling under the weather. Took this shot because it's the only thing I've eaten all day. Playing with the whole "light the shot with your subject" technique. Seemed appropriate. Back to bed...

Autumn colouring the gutters.
In post processing, I actually decreased the saturation of this photo. I have never done that before but per my "Creative Camera Techniques" class, tried to do something to the opposite of what I usually do. I liked decreasing the saturation because it made the pail feel a little grittier. In this case, taking down the saturation takes a little emphasis off the color and adds a little emphasis to texture and composition.

this is the gate on the mall side that keeps people out til the barnes and nobles store opens (altho it kind of looks more sinister than that, eh?) curved effect happened when i leaned on it to get a line of sight down the door.
