not happy with this one. the aperture is way off. the stencil in the center bottom also did not work out as a result of the aperture and shit kicked stencil box.
Connectivity and readymade.
Experimenting, manipulating and combining daily life objects in order to attempt, to force or to mystify a workable connection between them, at least to make it visible and/or possible. This exercise is to be considered as a warm-up, a first step towards a further installation or project.

i am experimenting with a certain style of sbl mouth, after i fell in love with a YJ custom,....well, it isn't exactly what i wanted, though i am more or less happy with the results.
Still deciding about this girl's future (initially, my own sbl)
Moody Experiment.
Some photos from a place you might already recognize, as there're many photos of it here. This time I tried to make something different out of the familiar views. After all, this is a landscape that probably is not scenic this time of the year. At least not for me, not in the usual sense. But of course there's a certain mood -- which might be something that comes out of myself, but I'm sure not without some stimulus, outside, it is really there, somehow. Can it be pictured? Can it be conveyed? How can you depict the actual first impression?
On a technical note: All done with old 50mm f/1.7 lens, all wide open, I used a Kenko nostaltone blue for diffusion and color shift. „Enhanced" in LR & PS.
Detail of ArnoFlash module with LED Module type 1. Status april 2015.
One 123 Lithium Battery or its rechargeable equivalent has sufficient capacity for more as 1000 flashes ... There is no ON / OFF switch because the PIC goes in sleep mode after every load cycle. Only the first Flash cycle after a long period of inactivity must be skipped.
Experiment: cropping photos in a triangle, with a duotone which in my opinion matches the setting and composition of the photo.
For my next step in this experiment I'd like to make prints, cut out the triangle, and glue them to foamboard.

Uranyl nitrate and sodium chloride from a previous experiment was dissolved in water. Approx. 6mL of this solution was added to ~5mL of dry sodium metasilicate along with water in a small watch glass. This was rehydrated every few days for about two weeks as the sodium silicate would crystallize and then dissolve again. At the end of the two weeks it was dried under a small electric light bulb resulting in a clear glassy substance with a tinge of green color. On the surface formed large crystalline layer. Before the substance dried it was not very fluorescent. After drying and crystallizing, it became very fluorescent yellow-green under all UV wavelengths.
Because of the crystalline nature of the substance, I don't think I succeeded in creating hyalite opal which is amorphous and not crystalline.

This experiment was an attempt to recreate the fluorescence of chromium activated corundum (aka 'ruby'). Aluminum hydroxide was mixed with 1-4 drops of Cr(III) oxide in a basic solution. This was placed on a small amount of aluminum sulfate in an aluminum foil container and a bit of water was added.
The sample was then heated, first with a propane torch until the water was removed and then with a MAPP gas torch until the aluminum sulfate expanded into foam, trapping the aluminum hydroxide which was calcined into aluminum oxide by the torch's flame. (at least that was the plan)
Shown also is a natural ruby from Mysore, India.

ENGLISH
Don Facundo Bacardi Massó (Catalan: Facund Bacardí i Massó) (1814 – May 9, 1886) was a Spanish–Cuban businessman. In 1862 he founded the eponymonous Bacardi rum distillery.
Bacardi was born in Sitges (province of Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain), son of a family of bricklayers. He followed his older brothers to Cuba in 1830, finding employment in their general store in Santiago. Over time, he saved up his own capital, and in 1844 he established his own mercantile shop.
Just three months earlier he had married Amalia Moreau, a woman of independent means who additionally had a wealthy godmother named Clara Astie. Both would prove to be sources of capital for Facundo's business ventures. Facundo and Amalia went on to have a number of children, many of whom would play important parts in building the rum business for which the family became famous: Emilio was born in 1844, Juan in 1846, Facundo Jr in 1848, Maria in 1851, Jose in 1857, and Amalia in 1861.
An earthquake followed by a cholera epidemic devastated Santiago in 1852, claiming Juan and Maria and sending Facundo and his family to Catalonia for a number of months to escape. Upon his return, Facundo found his store looted and business conditions in Santiago poor in the wake of the disaster and amid a global slump in sugar, the mainstain of the economy. Facundo's business wasn't able to recover, and it was bankrupt in 1855.
Soon after, Facundo began to experiment with the process of distilling rum. Previously, rum was a crude, low quality beverage. Facundo, with the help of a French Cuban named Jose Leon Boutellier, a tenant of Clara Astie, began to experiment with methods of distillation. Exactly what techniques they developed are debated, but some combination of quicker-fermenting cognac yeast, charcol filtration, white oak barrel aging, and painful trial-and-error based adjustments of distillation and fermentation resulted in much more refined, tamer drink which they successfully sold through Facundo's brother's general store.
In 1862 the partners acquired a distillery and constituted the firm "Bacardi, Bouteller, and Company", using capital supplied by Facundo's younger brother Jose. Having started in retailing, Bacardi understood how to sell things, and realized that his innovative drink would benefit from good branding. He began to sign each shipment of rum with a bold "Bacardi M" (for Bacardi Massó); in addition, he used the now iconic bat as the brand's image.

Facundo Bacardí Massó (Sitges, Barcelona, 1814 — Cuba, 9 de mayo de 1886), empresario hispano–cubano, era hijo de un comerciante de vinos de Tarragona (Cataluña, España), que en 1830 marchó con su familia a Cuba. Tras establecerse en Santiago de Cuba, Facundo prosperó en el mismo negocio que su padre. En 1843 se casó con Amalia Victoria Moreau.
Desde 1852 comenzó a experimentar con el proceso de destilación del ron para obtener una bebida más suave. Finalmente dio con una fórmula satisfactoria (inédita hasta entonces en el mercado) y tras adquirir una antigua destilería en Santiago, el 4 de febrero de 1862 fundó la empresa Bacardí (cuyo símbolo fue desde entonces hasta hoy en día un murciélago) para fabricar y vender el nuevo producto. Sus hijos José, Emilio y Facundo colaboraron activamente en este negocio familiar. Los dos últimos apoyaron públicamente la insurrección independentista de 1868, lo que ocasionó algunos problemas a la empresa con las autoridades.
La marca Bacardí obtuvo en 1876 la Medalla de Oro de la Exposición Universal de Filadelfia (E.U.A.) y posteriormente otros prestigiosos reconocimientos en Europa, Estados Unidos y Cuba. Ese mismo año Facundo Bacardí se retiró del negocio, dejándolo en manos de sus hijos, que más tarde, en la década de los 90, se asociarían con su cuñado Enrique Schueg, gracias a cuyo aporte de capital la empresa se expandió, aumentando las exportaciones y abriendo nuevos mercados. El fundador de la compañía murió diez años después de su retiro. Su hijo Emilio tuvo contactos con José Martí en 1892 en Nueva York, luchó por la Independencia de Cuba, y llegó a ser el primer alcalde post-colonial de Santiago y senador electo de la República (1906).
This was the best I could do without trespassing and was taken through a distant fence, on long zoom, and 22009 GX51PUJ is still here having recently been moved into the main depot area in preperation for possible disposal, after 2 years in the the storage area next to Menzies Road: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/40226407032/, and 22942 OU51WLK is also still parked next to it, with 47116 GX54DXP from Assford now parked in between them, slowly being robbed of parts, while "National Express" Coach 59303 FJ08KOE has now been moved out of shot to the right within the last week, in preperation for transfer back up North to another Stagecoach fleet.
And be sure to check by my other acount: www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?path=&nsid=77145939%40..., to see what else I saw last week!!
Yes I'm back again.
However due to my main computer on which I edit my work being struck down with a big bad virus, this picture and all the others I am uploading, were Unedited but have now been replaced with Edited versions. So enjoy and Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I do still hate everything about this shit that is new Flickr and always will, but an inability to find another outlet for my work that is as easy for me to use as the Old BETTER Flickr was, has forced me back to Flickr, even though it goes against everything I believe in.
I don't generally have an opinion on my own work, I prefer to leave that to other people and so based on the positive responses to my work from the various friends I had made on Flickr prior to the changes I have decided to upload some more of my work as an experiment and to see what happens.
So make the most of me before they delete my acount: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/?details=1, to stop me complaining!!
I'm trying to find a doll which can be attached to a card or a book art page. These are the first tries and involve lightly stuffed dolls and complete "flatties"
I will decorate them and see how we go. Great fun!

On an aluminum tray, salt, sulfur were heated until the salt was melted. The frozen salt contained sulfide and possibly, disulfide ions. This was then added to a solution of sodium silicate and dissolved by boiling the solution.
To this solution was added another solution containing sodium chloride and aluminum sulfate. When they combined, a white precipitate formed. This was strained and dried, then melted with a MAPP gas torch.
