In a small, makeshift workspace in the Philippines, a cobbler relies on an antique, pedal-powered Singer sewing machine to mend backpacks, shoes, and other essentials. This humble space, filled with the tools of his trade and everyday items, is both his livelihood and a testament to resilience. The image captures the spirit of resourcefulness and the quiet dignity of a life built on craftsmanship.
We stopped half-way through our walk to grab a bite to eat. Drink up, Miss Daisy...it's a long walk back to the car! 😉

Just spent a pleasant couple of hours making two 10x8 macros with flowers from the garden.
This is the gear I used to to make them.
Chamonix 810V 10x8" view camera, with standard Chamonix film holder
Arca Swiss Cube GP geared tripod head
Gitzo 3540LS tripod fitted with Gitzo levelling base
Rodenstock Apo-Sironar S 240mm f/5.6
Sekonic 758D spot meter
(Other items missing: notebook, BTZS dark cloth, Silvestri 4x loupe).
Some notes on choice of gear here, esp. for macros.
Fast and excellent lens with relatively short (for 10x8) focal-length: needed for wide-open portrait-style macros; short focal length = relatively manageable bellows extension and working distance for setup.
Why a levelling base with the Arca Cube when it's got geared pan on top and pan on the bottom? Because if you level the base when setting up, this means that if you want to pan you can do so without totally messing up the composition.
Geared head is necessary for stable and accurate composition when the whole camera is tilted downwards - for these shots the camera was tilted down 65º from horizontal.

A hand fan is an instrument and a fashion accessory designed so that with a rhythmic and variable play of the wrist, air can be moved and cooling is facilitated when in a hot environment.
HISTORY: The umbel or parasol and the flabellum, a large fixed fan with a long handle, are considered precedents in Egypt —at least since the 19th dynasty— and in Asia of the modest and functional folding fan and its western variants.
Already in the tomb of Tutankhamun, two fans with precious metal handles were deposited as part of the pharaoh's trousseau.
An essential object in Chinese and Japanese cultures, both in ceremonies and in theater, which synthesizes the fantasy of these peoples in the different types of fans.
In China, the origin of the rigid fan dates back to 2697 BC. C., with the emperor Hsiem Yuan.
LANGUAGE AND SECRET CODES: Progressively a complicated language of codes was developed, according to the movement and position of the fans.
Thus, for example, quickly fanning oneself looking into your eyes translated as "I love you madly", but if it was done slowly, the message was very different: "I am married and you are indifferent to me".
Opening the fan and showing it was equivalent to: “you can wait for me”.
Holding it with both hands advised a cruel “you better forget me”.
If a woman dropped her fan in front of a man, the passionate message was "I belong to you".
If she supported him open on her chest at the level of the heart: "I love you."
If she covered her face with the open fan: "Follow me when I go."
If she rested it on her right cheek it was equivalent to a "yes", but if she rested it on her left it was a resounding and cruel "no". Source: Wikipedia.

UNA HERRAMIENTA TRADICIONAL PARA AYUDAR CON EL CALOR DEL VERANO, 2023
Un abanico de mano es un instrumento y un complemento de moda ideado para que con un juego de muñeca rítmico y variable se pueda mover aire y facilitar la refrigeración cuando se está en un ambiente caluroso.
HISTORIA: La umbela o quitasol y el flabellum, gran abanico fijo de largo mango, se consideran precedentes en Egipto —al menos desde la dinastía XIX— y en Asia del modesto y funcional abanico plegable y sus variantes occidentales.
Ya en la tumba de Tutankamón se depositaron, como parte del ajuar del faraón, dos abanicos con mango de metales preciosos.
Objeto esencial en las culturas china y japonesa, tanto en ceremonias como en el teatro, que sintetiza la fantasía de estos pueblos en los diferentes tipos de abanico.
En China, el origen del abanico rígido se sitúa hacia 2697 a. C., con el emperador Hsiem Yuan.
LENGUAJE Y CÓDIGOS SECRETOS: Progresivamente se llegó a desarrollar un complicado lenguaje de códigos, según el movimiento y posición de los abanicos.
Así, por ejemplo, abanicarse rápidamente mirándote a los ojos se traducía como “te amo con locura”, pero si se hacía lentamente, el mensaje era muy distinto: “estoy casada y me eres indiferente”.
Abrir el abanico y mostrarlo equivalía a un: “puedes esperarme”.
Sujetarlo con las dos manos aconsejaba un cruel “es mejor que me olvides”.
Si una mujer dejaba caer su abanico delante de un hombre, el mensaje era apasionado "te pertenezco".
Si lo apoyaba abierto sobre el pecho a la altura del corazón: “te amo”.
Si se cubría la cara con el abanico abierto: “Sígueme cuando me vaya”.
Si lo apoyaba en la mejilla derecha equivalía a un “sí”, pero si lo apoyaba sobre la izquierda era un “no” rotundo y cruel. Fuente: Wikipedia.

I live close to the downtown of a small city, and that’s not something that I really like. But, you know, you live where you can earn something to fill your stomach.
My brother in love lives in the open countryside, and when I go there I love to take the kids, my son and his two cousins, out, to make 'em ride their bikes on the dusty unpaved road running through the fields. I use to have a camera with me on those moments, to take photos of the young ones while they are having fun. Sometime, anyhow, I point the camera around. This was one of those times.
That old guy had to take all the three kids for a ride on his vintage tractor. My son, three years old, would have killed him to sit behind the wheel.
BTW. I have seen that when I do not post photos of great mountains, the number of faves/likes and comment fall down. Sorry there is no flatter ground than this one :)
It has been five months since I put my feet on a trail. I still got hundreds of photos to share from the hikes of the last year, but I prefer to live in the present: good or bad, this is where I spend my life.
Wish you all a great Sunday.
PS: For this one I would go with Lynyrd Skynyrd “Simple Man”.
Una scena essenziale, di vita agreste. Ero in giro per i campi, a portare al pascolo mio figlio e i miei due nipoti, sulle loro bici.
Ho notato che quando le mie foto scendono dai monti sono meno apprezzate. Beh, più piatta di questa non potevo trovarne.
Buona Domenica a tutti!!

Mac & cheese and ranch dressing...what would we do without 'em? 😜
Shortly after Daisy agreed to go nearly full time (Exactly one month ago today...wow!), I decided she needed some kind of daily exposure to help her keep her eye on the ball so to speak. So I've been sending her to the store just about every day for little odds and ends that I might otherwise combine into one weekly or bi weekly trip. And that includes weekends as well. So even though these things weren't essential for dinner....they were essential for Daisy's continued development. In my not so humble opinion, anyway. 😉💖

Le piccole cose hanno la loro importanza: è sempre per le piccole cose che ci si perde.

Questa composizione di alcune erbe spontanee, a Creta, mi colpì quasi per caso, mentre cercavo un posto per riposare all'ombra. Sembravano delicatamente appoggiate le une alle altre, per un elegante gioco di forme e geometrie, come in un quadro di Kandinsky
Sono sobrio!
