Photoshop Experiment: Dogwood Buds
This photograph integrates a neat texture border created by Struckdumb from DeviantArt and a photo of the dogwood in my front yard.
The texture is available at: struckdumb.deviantart.com/art/Texture-Border-ii-85635266
Painting (abstract composition based on torn newspaper pieces).
Texture by putting plastic on the colored pieces; added lines
(early february)
edit march 5: I am adding this to the ' silly alumni' group too. Given that we had such an interesting talk going on, I thought others might like to read about it too.

Recently I bought 4 different coloured led-strips(red, green, blue and white) with 24 individual leds and fed by 12V (75mA). Apart from swaying the leds in patterns they are nice in the white-box for colour lighting. Easier to handle than gels and they create interesting effects. I made a little "switch box" and use plain paper for diffusing. The - flexible - led strips are mounted in aluminium with little strips of velcro so they can be used together or separately.
A vacuum tube behind a phosphor screen makes it glow green from the X-rays it's emitting - it's being powered by several thousand volts in this photo.
A picture of the vacuum tube shows its orientation under the large phosphor screen.
The emitted X-rays are not at all evenly emitted - tricky to get good photos from this.
Same comp as my last post...new colors. I plan on doing one tomorrow where the logarithmic spiral is more obvious.
I wanted to check the emitted rays were in fact X-rays - so I put my finger between the vacuum tube and the phosphor screen.
It faintly showed what looked like the bone in the tip of my finger. The bone gets "thicker" towards the top due to the emitter being so close to my finger.
Great result! It's time to construct a simple stand to make some of my first X-ray images.
Light Experiments, done with:
(1) a glow stick
(2) long shutter speeds and,
(3) An imagination
Only used a canon 130 Ixus and darkness. No Photoshop.

World Party Instagramers – We Need Your Support
Starting as an experiment and ending as a big party! From May 21st to 29th, Germany will host the so-called »Aktionswoche Alkohol« (»Drug Action Week«) – an event promoting responsible drinking. We – the team of Kointer.de – have come up with something special and hope for worldwide support via Instagram.
Kointer.de stands for KODROBS on the internet – the first contact and drug counseling center on the internet for Hamburg people – and is part of the addiction recovery institution »jugend hilft jugend« Hamburg (»youth helping youth«).
What does it have to do with IG?
We dare to perform the following experiment: 42 hours on the social web dealing with alcohol consumption by interacting via Instagram, Foursquare, Twitter, Flickr, Facebook...
During this time, the team of KOINTER will roam the city of Hamburg as well as the world wide web and will interact with inhabitants and users in the virtual and the real world.
And what do we want you to do?
What you are good at – taking pictures. From May 27th 12:00 noon (respective local time) to May 29th 6 am (respective local time), every Instagramer is invited to post and/or tag photos on the subject of party, alcohol, and having fun – of course non-drinking is welcome. Show us your real life – without a wagging finger – by shooting pictures of varying moods on different continents, party scenes, places, diverse beverages and so on.
Please follow the IG account @Kointer during this period in order to get updates, status messages , and information on highlights. However, it's most important that you tag all picures with #Kointer. In addition, it'd be great if you signed your country code with a second hashtag, i.e. #Kointer_DE for Germany, #Kointer_US for the United States.
Maybe we manage to create the world's biggest party photo docusoap. But anyways, we're gonna have lots of fun and share this with everyone.

World Party Instagrammers – Wir brauchen Eure Hilfe
Es wird ein Experiment und eine große Party. Vom 21. bis 29. Mai 2011 findet in Deutschland die Aktionswoche Alkohol statt – eine Aktion zum maßvollen Umgang mit Alkohol. Wir, das Team von Kointer.de, haben uns etwas Besonderes ausgedacht und hoffen auf weltweite Instagram-Unterstützung.
Kointer.de steht für KODROBS im Internet (Kontakt- und Suchtberatungsstelle im Internet) und ist eine Einrichtung des Hamburger Trägers jugend hilft jugend Hamburg (www.jhj.de). Es ist die erste Suchtberatungsstelle im Internet für Hamburgerinnen und Hamburger.
Was hat das nun mit IG zu tun?
Wir wagen ein Experiment: 42 Stunden im SocialWeb auf den Pfaden des Konsums. Dabei soll es zur Interaktion über Instagram, Foursquare, Twitter, Flickr, Facebook … kommen. Das KOINTER-Team selbst durchstreift in dieser Zeit die Stadt Hamburg und das Netz und interagiert mit diesen, den Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern und den Usern – virtuell und real.
Was wollen wir von Euch?
Das was Ihr so fantastisch könnt – Fotos. Jeder Instagrammer ist eingeladen, vom 27. Mai 12:00 Uhr (jeweilige Ortszeit) bis zum 29. Mai 2011 6:00 Uhr (jeweilige Ortszeit) Fotos zu machen und/oder zu taggen mit Motiven zum Thema Party, Alkohol, Spaß haben – natürlich auch ohne Alkohol – auf jeden Fall das reale Leben ohne erhobenen Zeigefinger. Interessant sind natürlich Bilder von Stimmungen auf den verschiedenen Kontinenten, Partyszenen, Orte, unterschiedliche Getränke und Anlässe etc.
Ihr könnt für diese Zeit dem IG-Account @Kointer folgen, um ggf. Updates zu bekommen und über den Verlauf, Highlights und Statusmeldungen informiert zu werden und natürlich nach dem Event entfolgen, aber am Wichtigsten ist es, dass Ihr alle Bilder mit dem Tag #Kointer verseht. Zusätzlich wäre es klasse, wenn Ihr in einem zweiten Hashtag einen Ländercode angebt, um die Länder zu identifizieren. Also für Deutschland zum Beispiel Kointer_DE, USA Kointer_US etc.
Vielleicht bekommen wir die größte Party-Foto-Doku-Soap hin, die die Welt je gesehen hat, oder dass wir zumindest ganz viel Spaß haben und das jedem zeigen.

An experiment using type as image to capture the mood of this poem by Wilfred Owen.
The Unreturning
Suddenly night crushed out the day and hurled
Her remnants over cloud-peaks, thunder-walled.
Then fell a stillness such as harks appalled
When far-gone dead return upon the world.
There watched I for the Dead; but no ghost woke.
Each one whom Life exiled I named and called.
But they were all too far, or dumbed, or thralled,
And never one fared back to me or spoke.
Then peered the indefinite unshapen dawn
With vacant gloaming, sad as half-lit minds,
The weak-limned hour when sick men's sighs are drained.
And while I wondered on their being withdrawn,
Gagged by the smothering Wing which none unbinds,
I dreaded even a heaven with doors so chained.
More resin casting experiments, this time in tinting it.
Some frankenstein results!

I wonder what I look like to the drivers next to me when I'm in the car singing... I had some Tori Amos on. Wish I could remember which song!
I could not attend the better photography workshop organised by the HWS team due to a personal commitment.
Afternoon when i logged into my twitter i was feeling bad after seeing the tweets from the fellow HWSians. I knew it was waste of sulking about it I took my dad's new Scotch bottle and tried some shots.
Used light from windows and used a mirror for reflection.I need to work a lot on lighting.
There is a hole outside my appartment that in the future will hold a parking garage. It is a pity, because the garage is going to destroy my direct view of the sunrise over the swamp from the breakfast table.
In the meantime, I have set it up as a sedimentology lab experiment. In the heavy summer downpours here in Houston, there is actually some erosion of sand from the neighbours' flower beds. This flows down a footpath and empties into "Garage construction lake" at the base of the picture here (notice channel scour) and then builds a nice friction dominated mouthbar of rippled sand into the shallow water. The picture is unfortunately not that good, there are actually two separate lobes built at various water depths and in two separate episodes of sedimentation (aka rain showers!)
This is my first entry for the MA over at MOCpages. I would appreciate some feedback before I make this official. Better quality photos: www.mocpages.com/moc.php/314280. Link to the MA for those of you who want to check it out: www.mocpages.com/group.php/19864.
