I've been away to the city for a few days visiting family. Walking through the downtown streets along all the facades of mirrored glass, it seems there are endless echoes of light.

This is the front of my house in echo. My iPad Pro has a mirror feature which I really love! I've read a few definitions of echo and one is reflection. So I thought why not do a mirror reflection of something...

Another photograph from my trip to NYC for Flickr20under20. After spending our time in the MoMA, admiring the works of extraordinary artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Matisse (just to name a couple), Madeline and I decided we'd use the last moments of daylight to dance in the streets of New York and take pictures. It's something I've always wanted to do and it'll be a memory I'll treasure forever. I ended up snapping this picture of Madeline while we were waiting to cross the road.
This week has been quite tough, as my family and I sadly had to say goodbye to our dog Max. We've now lost both Cinta and Max this year, which has left our family incomplete. I miss them very dearly and think of them everyday <3
I'll be sharing photographs from my NYC trip as well as other photographs over the next month or so. If you head on over to my blog, you'll be able to see photographs from the most recent wedding I shot. I hope you've all been well.
Amid the first blush of morning, the world stirs in gentle harmony. The mist weaves through the canyons like a silken veil, and the falls whisper their endless song, a hymn to the waking earth. Here, where the dawn’s embrace mingles with the quiet breath of the land, my soul feels a kinship with nature.
Boundless...
Eternal...
Whole...
Echo's owner is in the reflection of his eyeball. No photo trickery, just a cool thing that horses' eyes do.
In the lifetime of many days,
I hold in mind the days of ‘solstice’,
And every one was in his way,
And every – midst themselves not noticed.
And, link by link, the whole chain
Was self-assembled by collecting
Just those days, exclusive, when
We dream that time is stopped and waiting.
I do recall them one by one:
The winter to his first half go,
The road’s wet and roof is run,
And sun warms self on an ice-floe....
- Boris Pasternak,
The Exclusive Days, 1959

COLLAGE:
Just an "Echo" of my previous quotes from
Erte"s fashion drawings.
Inspired by Erte and by the "Art Deco" epoch.
Made with the "Harper"s Bazaar""s-
cover of the period (by Erte).
As well in this work is used my own baggy pleaty
"Monogram Denim" from Louis Vuitton

ERTE
(born Nov. 23, 1892, St. Petersburg, Russia-died April 21,
1990, Paris, France) Russian-born French fashion illustrator
and designer. In 1912 he arrived in Paris, where he worked briefly
with the couturier Paul Poiret. From 1916 to 1937 he
published elegant, highly stylized illustrations depicting
models in mannered poses against Art Deco interiors in
Harper's Bazaar. He also designed theatrical scenery and
costumes for the Folies-Bergère in Paris (1919–30), and in
the 1920s he costumed performers in U.S. musicals, most
notably the Ziegfeld Follies. His designs continue to be
widely reproduced.

Et voici à nouveau deux bulles de réalité personnelles qui se croisent en écho sans même se calculer... Comment résister ?
High in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, these rocky slopes are populated by hearty trees whose roots seem to be searching for any morsel of nourishment, any drop of water.

at the lighthouse keeper's house..
Our trip to the Northeast began in Portland, Maine, where we stayed at a really nice Hampton Inn. Got up before dawn to get here, to the Portland Head Lighthouse - the most famous, most photographed lighthouse in the US - and luckily, one of the most accessible. No more than a ten-minute drive from our waterfront hotel in Portland..
I made the decision not to attempt bringing a tripod on the plane, and really, this was the only time I wished I had one. But I made do with a fence rail, held my breath, waited till both lights synched up, and I'm satisfied with the result. I like the notion that the two lighthouses are communicating somehow, echoing each other's message to passing mariners..
This was also the only dawn of the trip that had any color in the sky, as we were blessed with ridiculously beautiful weather for the entire trip. And in Maine - that's quite a blessing. As was us choosing this particular morning to be at the lighthouse when dawn broke..

While at Echo Amphitheater in Abiquiú, I shot some infrared.
I've tended to process my infrareds to black and white as I never felt satisfied with my attempts at false color processing with channel swapping.
I've been learning more this past year about working with color prior to converting to black and white.
In the first comment box below is the unedited shot, pretty much all brown. Shot through the Hoya R72, 720 nm filter. The custom white balance that I had set keeps it from being totally magenta.
As has been my common result, using the Channel Mixer adjustment layer and swapping values for the red and blue channels wasn't great.
I've been learning what the Selective Color adjustment layer does, so opened that under the Channel Mixer layer.
It allowed me to play with how much red, yellow, green, blue, cyan and magenta are within colors and thereby fine tune what the Channel Mixer does.
Things were better.
Then I opened a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer above Channel Mixer and found that playing with the Master and moving the Hue slider helped too.
After working on tonal ranges, using midtone luminosity masks on curves layers and dodging and burning, I still didn't like how much purple was in the sky.
I tried the Select Color command to isolate the sky and that created a mask when I opened the Color Balance adjustment layer. Mostly working on shadows and midtones to reduce red, increase blue and increase green got the deep blue color.
I've been learning about the Hard Mix blend mode, and after using the color picker to grab the color of the trees, I opened a Color Fill adjustment layer, set it to Hard Mix and then reduced the Fill opacity to 7%. This enhanced the tree color.
Finally, I got a false color infrared that actually had definite color.
Why did I do all this?
This extreme edit became the underlying base to a black and white version of the shot. All the color stuff I've been learning was part of tutorials on processing for BW.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, I hope to post that on Thursday for Donnerstagsmonochrom.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
This is a close up of my Amazon Echo speaker duplicated in photoshop.
I wish you a happy happy weekend!
Standing before weathered columns, the figure becomes a quiet echo within a vast continuum of time. The marble bears the scars of centuries, reminding us that while people pass, stone remembers. A moment of stillness where history breathes through the present.
An echo is the repetition of sound, but it also can mean the p=repetitions of ideas, and reminders of the past.
The nymph Echo offended the goddess Hera. As punishment, Hera took away Echo's voice, so she could only repeat the last words of other people. Eventually, poor Echo faded away, and to this day only the sound of her repeating words remains.
Diorama elements:
--Echo the nymph, flowers, mushrooms: Playmobil
--Echo soundwaves: wire, edited with blurring and words
--Stump: dollar store craft supplies
--Greenery and fallen log: moss and a piece of wood
--Sky: fabric
Done for Smile on Saturday: Expose the E, but it didn't work out this week. Next time!
A panorama of South Lake Tahoe from Echo Summit. Elevation over 7000 ft. I got there from Sacramento which is about sea level. It's a steep winding ascend to this area in the Eldorado National Forest. A lot of steep winding ups and downs along the way next to cliffs and a river. It's one of those roads where you can't take your eyes off the road, or your hands off the wheel. A challenging road to maintain speed limits. And the drive down is just as exciting.
Here's the link to my YouTube video of the road trip:
Thanks for viewing.
