The memory of you emerges from the night around me.
The river mingles its stubborn lament with the sea.
Deserted like the dwarves at dawn.
It is the hour of departure, oh deserted one!
Cold flower heads are raining over my heart.
Oh pit of debris, fierce cave of the shipwrecked.
In you the wars and the flights accumulated.
From you the wings of the song birds rose.
You swallowed everything, like distance.
Like the sea, like time. In you everything sank!
It was the happy hour of assault and the kiss.
The hour of the spell that blazed like a lighthouse.
Pilot's dread, fury of blind driver,
turbulent drunkenness of love, in you everything sank!
In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded.
Lost discoverer, in you everything sank!
You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire,
sadness stunned you, in you everything sank!
I made the wall of shadow draw back,
beyond desire and act, I walked on.
Oh flesh, my own flesh, woman whom I loved and lost,
I summon you in the moist hour, I raise my song to you.
Like a jar you housed infinite tenderness.
and the infinite oblivion shattered you like a jar.
There was the black solitude of the islands,
and there, woman of love, your arms took me in.
There was thirst and hunger, and you were the fruit.
There were grief and ruins, and you were the miracle.
Ah woman, I do not know how you could contain me
in the earth of your soul, in the cross of your arms!
How terrible and brief my desire was to you!
How difficult and drunken, how tensed and avid.
Cemetery of kisses, there is still fire in your tombs,
still the fruited boughs burn, pecked at by birds.
Oh the bitten mouth, oh the kissed limbs,
oh the hungering teeth, oh the entwined bodies.
Oh the mad coupling of hope and force
in which we merged and despaired.
And the tenderness, light as water and as flour.
And the word scarcely begun on the lips.
This was my destiny and in it was my voyage of my longing,
and in it my longing fell, in you everything sank!
Oh pit of debris, everything fell into you,
what sorrow did you not express, in what sorrow are you not drowned!
From billow to billow you still called and sang.
Standing like a sailor in the prow of a vessel.
You still flowered in songs, you still brike the currents.
Oh pit of debris, open and bitter well.
Pale blind diver, luckless slinger,
lost discoverer, in you everything sank!
It is the hour of departure, the hard cold hour
which the night fastens to all the timetables.
The rustling belt of the sea girdles the shore.
Cold stars heave up, black birds migrate.
Deserted like the wharves at dawn.
Only tremulous shadow twists in my hands.
Oh farther than everything. Oh farther than everything.
It is the hour of departure. Oh abandoned one!

Art experiment by Eve.
Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim + Redscaled Konica Minolta VX Super 200 + Double Exposure.
Continuing my ongoing experiments with Redscale - moving from the blunt application of that banging colour, to explore other possibilities beyond that... A few of the later frames from this roll were shot on Clevedon Pier in North Somerset, with most of the rest of the first roll run through, taken in Manchester at the end of July. Then, the roll was reloaded and a couple of further shots were taken at Oxford, with the rest of the second run through shot in or around Bristol during August.
I did not line up the film, nor take notes, nor plan beyond striving for the principle of geographical contrast. The negatives were returned uncut as requested, but I did get lab scans - any overlaps of one frame over another, are a result of this. I have cropped where I feel it is most helpful to do so, so any inclusion of frame overlap is these uploaded images has been an active choice. I will almost certainly return to the negs with a home scanner to search for alternative compositions to complement these.
Redscaling.
Basically it involves taking a roll of ordinary 'bog standard' print film, reversing it and respooling it into another film canister (all done in a dark bag) so that the light is exposed on 'the wrong side of the film' when you take a shot. You then lose two 'stops' on the optimal exposure conditions from the original. It gets developed in exactly the same way as print film, but be prepared for the technician to be a little startled (at best) or a little irritated (at worst) when they realise that something very odd has happened to the film. :)
This started out as an experiment in stacking focus but I gave up and took only 1 shot. The experiment will be attempted again in the near future.
The reflective surface is my stove top.
Experimenting with a white background and loved this subject but I guess because my white balance was on shade it looked a bit pink rather than white. When I tried to fix it using levels it left a bit of a gray "residue" near the top of the photo and I did my best to get rid of it but didn't do a very good job. The wind also moved the top leaves a bit. I took a million shots so I might have one that's better than this.
Experimenting with backlighting the new Lastolite backdrops, they are very versatile.... (is it obvious I really like them?)

This is the second part of an experiment.
And here is my last film about Virginia Woolf: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTbnOLIl_2M
I used Bauhaus profile on the DXO Filmpack (time machine presets). Looks quite crazy but got something that I like...
An experiment in moving camera from a moving vehicle. Taken from Caltrain from San Jose to San Francisco.
My project for this week-end: Testing eco-friendly clays. This boy is mainly consisting of food starch and plant fiber. He's inspired by artist Zao Dao's character "Crow Teeth".
unglazed porcelain
Sadly my lamp experiment has not been a total success...it has warped quite a bit. Two of the corners stuck to the kiln shelf...that's by the by as that can happen to any piece, but I need to rectify the warping. It may be ok to just make the walls thicker, but I think what it really needs is a change of material...a wooden box with a porcelain tile in front. Shame I'm no carpenter!
The LEDs are a little bright too...maybe a different brand of spotlight, or a deeper box.
In principle it works....but needs a little tweeking.

This experiment demonstrates the shift in color from yellow-green to blue-green of minerals containing the uranyl ion in conjunction with carbonates.
Uranyl nitrate was combined with NaCl and recrystallized on the glass rod. Behind it is a specimen of meta-autunite from the Daybreak Mine in Spokane WA, USA. Meta-autunite is a uranyl phosphate mineral.
Uranyl nitrate solution (0.25M) was combined with a sodium carbonate solution (1.25M) and was used to rehydrate some DAP Plaster of Paris mix which was set in a square mold.
Initially (when still wet), there was no fluorescence but after the calcium sulfate re-hydrated (and the mix produced CO2? bubbles), the resulting plaster fluoresced a bright blue-green, typical of carbonate based uranyl minerals. Behind the plaster square is a specimen with a coating of andersonite from Yellow Cat Mesa in Grant County UT, USA. Andersonite is a hydrated sodium calcium uranyl carbonate.

Much appreciation to Gordon Czop for the uranyl nitrate.

I've been waiting for so long, but this week finally I've been able to go further into my experimentations with hollow millefiori canes and structures building.

Really had fun with this one! Tried out some albino skin and body blush and I think it blended really well. Not to mention I had my spanker on and I turned Zee's ass into the plumpest lil cherry ~uwu~
Enjoy!
