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.
Buttonholes stitched twice. Once at a wide setting, then a narrow setting over the top. My machine doesn't have a narrow enough setting for the round ended one to work.
Results of an experiment in studio with newly acquired fishtank. I did these by dropping indian ink into clear water & shooting it as it slowly settled.
I've been studying rock and other natural surfaces for a long time. I try to produce a "random" style in my shapes and their surfaces, and this series seems to show that I've accomplished what I'm after. The "beauty" of these pieces is perhaps up to debate, but I think at least I've accomplished an effect that transcends the human touch. There is little evidence here of "my" work or my imposition of form or surface on the natural ingredients.
These pine tiles (about 4-7 inches max.) were my first experiment using living materials with the terracotta. They are very thin, about 2-3 mm, and were rolled out with freshly fallen pine needles from New Hampshire. It smelled great in the studio.
After bisque firing, I fired with a very thin layer of Evans' BITE partially covered with a some watered-down gunmetal. I kind of scrape-dripped on a bit of copper carbonate. They looked pretty good fired up (cone 04, electric kiln) but I wanted a little more character. So after packing them up I took 'em all out of the box, gave them some cobalt blue and some fireplace ash (some with the ash mixed in, some with the ash on top, and some with the ash underneath). I like the blue I got and miscellaneous other effects.

Experimenting to see if my construction works for photographing old slides. I need to get the height the same on both piles of books, but otherwise, it works! The camera is connected up to my tablet via wi-fi. Example in the comments.
The experiment was to see which type of vinegar gave the greatest reaction with baking soda. Turns out the aromatic (balsamic) vinegar was the strongest reaction!
Water Experiment
An experiment with merging images.
I took the same photo 3 times.
Then merged the elements of the 3 photos in one photo.
One in overexposed mode, with white balances set to tungsten light, thats the background, that looks a bit blue.
Then in normal exposure, with white balance set to cloudy, thats the water pool, that looks a bit brownish.
The third one, the same, but with a higher iso mode, 400 instead of 100, and a smaller aperture time. Thats the white water spring and some of the bubbles.
Just playing, it kind of looks weird, and a bit cute.
Experimento de Agua
Un experimento de fusionar imagenes
Tome la misma foto 3 veces.
Y luego junte, fusione, las 3 fotos en una sola.
La primera fue en mdo sobreespuesto, con balance de blanco en tungsteno, que use para el fondo, por eso se ve azulado.
Luego a esposicion normal, con el balance de blancos en "nublado", que puse como el volumen principal de agua, en tono cafecito.
La tercera igual, pero con un ISO mayor, 400 en lugar de 100, y menor tiempo de apertura. Es el chrrito de agua que s ve mas blanco y las burbujas,
Solo jugando a la editora de imagenes, que esta se ve entre rara y linda.
iPhone's latest software update, IOS 7, added a panorama feature to the camera...I made a couple run-of-the-mill "panos" (Apple seems to love applying their own terms to things that are already established, have you ever noticed that?), quickly grew bored with them, and decided to experiment with it. These were all taken out the window of a moving bus. I sometimes held my iPhone normally, sometimes horizontally, sometimes upside-down, and so forth, manipulating the way the image was recorded. I rather like the results.

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.

Usually used for interesting experiments in science. Let's say we're stretching frog's chests in order to understand heart revolution.

I can't decide. Is this any good? I shot this because I was interested in the contrast between the senior in the foreground and the young girl in the center. Perhaps it would be better if I shot it a second earlier, so they would be closer to each other...
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.

Coffee Experiment. This is Gorilla Coffee Kenya Fairview Estate poured with 4 different variables. Grind, filter, and weight were tested. Participants preferred:
Hario V60 dripper 20 grams of coffee and Chemex with Kone over Chemex with paper filter.
Participants were customers and barista.
WeeklyBeats2 submission - This week left me short of time, but I did manage to get this done. Simple attempt at some atmospheric with a bit of instrument placement intent. I was envisioning a bit of background music for a space science show or video game... maybe something like the expository scenes in Homeworld.
