Wakering Photography Group 2016 Calendar Entry.
This was my April entry for our 2016 calendar sadly not successful on this occasion.
I used a Lee Pro Glass 0.9 ND filter in conjunction with a Lee 0.75 ND Graduated soft filter.
Taken on Fomapan Classic shot at ISO 200 with Minolta X-300 MD 50mm f/1.7.
Developed in Adox Rodinal 1+50 @ 7 min.
Postprocessed with The GIMP.
beware... portals are two-way streets. while you are thinking about going out, there are those who are trying to come in!

Never expected to be flickr MIA so long! Attempting to refocus now! Excuses, excuses, so many I could give you! ;-) Will be gliding slowly through your streams this week. Looking forward to catching up with all the beauty and creativity that I have missed!

Wir haben uns viele Kirchen auf unserer Tour durch Frankreich angesehen. Diese stand in Dinan. Eine kleine Stadt in der Bretagne die einen Besuch Wert ist, alleine weil es dort diese vielen kleinen Gassen mit Häusern aus Fachwerk und viel Stein gibt.
There is quite a difference in winter versus the warm months in observing the eating habits of pheasants. In the summer time unless you are out very early in the mornings or happen to catch them searching for bits of gravel to serve as grit to help their digestion, pheasants often are more hidden as they seek things to eat. They normally have a menu with more entries on it than they do during the winter.
The phrase “scratching out a living” goes all the way back to the 14th-15th centuries when in the older farming communities the farmers “scratched” the land using more primitive tools.
By the 18th-19th centuries, the use of the phrase gained uses beyond that of farming to include anyone who was barely making ends meet in their day to day struggle.
Jump ahead until today and the phrase applies to a broad spectrum of normally physically hard, low paying jobs or an unstable work life.
I grew up in an era when there were only a few government help agencies and can well remember my folks talking about people around them during the Depression and beyond who spent many years on community “poor farms”.
Poor farms were quite prevalent at one time in the US and folks who were unable to work due to age, disability or other factors were housed and fed in exchange for helping to produce food and maintain a farm. Local governments ran the farms as they were considered a cost-effective way to care for the needy rather than simply doling out monies to individuals.
It carried negative connotations for participants, particularly because they were labeled “inmates.”
Poor farms gradually petered out by the middle of last century with many in Minnesota closing in the 1930s due to government programs starting up such as Social Security in 1935 and the growing prevalence of nursing homes.

“This artist’s concept shows what the 4-man GE space station would look like in space. The supply crafts hovering around the station are Gemini vehicles.”
So, this is possibly a MORL precursor? Or, is it MORL without being called MORL? Despite varied literature I came across it's sort of muddled...at least to me. Especially, with this being a General Electric entry/submittal & them being out of the running by the time "MORL" was the common jargon. I think. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I assume the station is spinning. 😉
This has got to be the thickest, heaviest-weight photographic paper with a black & white image on it that I’ve ever come across. It rivals ANY of the heaviest-weight “A KODAK PAPER” (with color image) specimens.
An unexpected & pleasant find, with some other works by the artist, Peter A. Bertolino:

Even more gratifying, thanks yet again to the Legacy website:
“Peter A. Bertolino:
BERTOLINO, PETER A., on May 5, 2004. Beloved husband of Adeline Bertolino, loving father of Michael and Peter Bertolino, devoted grandfather of 3. A Veteran of WWII-U.S. Army.”
While the above is cursory, the following comments more than make up for it:
“My condolences to Peter's family. He was a wonderful man. I can tell you that it was always a pleasure to work with him and to be in his company. I know he was always proud of his work, but even more so of his family. I will remember him fondly.”

And:
“Co-worker from GE days:
“I am very saddened by Pete's death. Pete was a loving and caring person. He always had a story to tell about family, life and especially about his artwork. I still picture Pete with his pipe in his mouth and a grin on his face as he worked on his board. He always made me smile. What a GREAT man. I will cherish all of his Christmas Cards.”

Finally:
“Co-worker from GE days:
“Pete was certainly a great guy. He was a man that I always looked up to, a very special person.”

...After standing in the line at the Broad for 30 minutes, we were granted admission, and it was on to the escalator and up to the third floor main gallery...

This is my entry for the Macro Mondays theme of “My Favourite Novel (Fiction)”. The book I am representing is “Altered Carbon” by Richard Morgan. This is carbon in the form of a matchstick, altered by burning it.
Happy Macro Monday!
As it is monochrome, also including in my 100x project.
Lane from Gate 6 off North Terrace leading into the old Royal Adelaide Hospital. The purpose of the sign was to stop vehicles from entering past a certain point.
It wasn't far from here that an officious and potbellied security guard tried to tell me and my husband off for being there. We had already spotted him and were leaving, when he ran up and insisted on telling us off. This overactive guy also chased Sedge off the same day!
Actually there was no indication that the lane was off-limits to public pedestrians, unlike the red/white tape and full-on fence further away.
