What???? What???? What???
Here is the back story: I bought 19 boxes of doll clothes gambling that their would be some awesome vintage clothes and there ARE!!! BUT, yes there is a but, :( I observed the boxes were moldy. The seller said yes but the clothes were all in plastic bags. With the exception of a few clothes here and there the doll clothes were in plastic bags with one other HUGE exception. NONE of the vintage Barbie clothes in two different boxes were in plastic bags. One box was no problem as the mold had not penetrated the box BUT, oh yes another BUT, the other box had more mold than any of the other 19 boxes. It had penetrated the bottom, entered the inside of the box and contaminated the clothes!!! Oh what a heartbreak. I blew as much mold as I could off with air from an air compressor and stuck them in a plastic bag. I googled clothes and mildew where I read from several sites that borax kills mold and gets rid of stains in clothes. Also that it was good for dumping down your sinks. NO WAY!!! Crystals in my pipes??? I get ahead of the story. I thought it would be a good experiment to try the borax on some Calico Critters that had never been removed from their boxes BUT mold had also penetrated their boxes. Maybe borax would work on cloth but CRYSTALS??? Is it a chemical reaction to plastic? Some plumbing pipes are plastic!!! Information said borax worked well in dishwashers but there is plastic in dishwashers. Maybe I should have added detergent to the borax solution. It all makes my head hurt. In conclusion the borax did NOT work!!! I had to soak the critters in really HOT water to get the crystals to dissolve and the mold was still there.

Spent the morning in the kitchen experimenting with my new Polaroid 405 back, Using a polaroid 405 i'm yet to modify my crown graphic to work with the camera as i cannot find the correct screws. The shot gathered a large amount of dust whilst drying but i decided to leave it as i prefer the feel. If you want to see the camera using the modified back a picture can be found on my instagram account username: IanDevlin13
The shot was taken using a constant tungsten light and popping a flashgun in select places over the time of the exposure.

Another shot from the first roll through my Agfa Record pinhole camera, I will be experimenting with this a bit.
A concrete pump operator finished work here at this location and begins folding down to relocate. This construction site is part of highway Interstate 69 In Rosenberg, Texas, near Houston. In support of America’s international trade routs, when finished, the highway will stretch border to border across America and connect Mexico to Canada. The project will take decades to finish.

aka Brain Fart #2. Refer to Experiment #1 for an explanation. So I think compositionally the balance is a little out but I'm loving what's going on with the front of the building and tree. I'm thinking I might take this approach to some landscapes and see where it leads.

for a laugh you must watch this video sent to me by my dear friend Tao of Jonathan it is simply adorable and a guaranteed smile!
She has not been on Flickr in a while, so some of you may not know my sweet companion of fourteen years, yes this little beauty is fourteen years old..
We have welcomed many years together, and will do so again this New Year's Eve, with maybe a friend or two who may drop by for an egg nog.
Notice her littlefblack heart on her nose. It was not there the first year of her life, and one day it just appeared, honestly.
Have a great day,

I have experimented with this image to see if it succesfull to the Flickr audience.
I've found that I have slowly adapted to apprieciate the art of abstract photography, but I feel I haven't yet quite mastered the art. I would be hugely greatful if you would leave a comment to give your opinion on how the photo turned out. Thanks :)

This experiment demonstrates the shift in color from yellow-green to blue-green in aqueous solutions of pyranine when made acidic.
The fluid from a yellow hi-liter pen was removed and mixed with water (shown in the center test tube). The left test tube contains that solution with 1 drop of muriatic acid added. The test tube on the right contains the solution with 5 drops of a sodium hydroxide solution.
The pH of the left test tube was ~1 and the right test tube ~14. It was hard to measure the pH of the solutions since it dyed the pH indicator paper yellow.
Upon adding the drop of acid to the pyranine solution, it changed from yellow green to clear. This was because the pyranine had been protonated (provided a hydrogen ion) which reduced the absorption of light at 450nm.
Refer to this article: www.ugcfrp.ac.in/images/userfiles/30241-CPL_399_147.pdf
"At a pH less than 7, the absorption spectrum of pyranine
(HPTS) exhibits a peak at 405 nm which is ascribed to
the protonated form (ROH) while at a pH greater than 7 the
absorption spectrum exhibits an additional band at
450 nm arising from the deprotonated form (RO)."

Experimenting with long exposures. I need to figure out how to prevent the lens flare, more time behind the lens is needed.
Today, Rusty informed me that if I took some Marmite and hit it for a while, it would change colour, going from dark brown all the way through to white. My attention span isn't *quite* what it could be, so I haven't got as far as white, but I did get to a very pale yellowy brown before getting bored. Then I added a dollop of fresh Marmite for colour comparison purposes. Photoshop has not been used; Marmite really *does* go that pale when whacked with a spoon for half an hour! (You can see some of the intermediate shades of brown around the edges as well. ^_^)
I'm thinking about spraying on a fixative and submitting this piece to the Tate Modern with the title 'Colossal Waste Of Time'. People will either love it or hate it (o ho ho ho).
I was just outside the Mall playing with the controls in my camera and I decided to just take a picture randomly and this was the result of it.
Experimenting with creating vintage rail posters that were created over 50 years ago. A shot taken with my compact and processed in Photoshop
Not sure if quite got the style but maybe will progress this if I people take to it.
This is the sort of thing I am trying to replicate: www.travelpostersonline.com/inverness-lmslner--railway-tr...
I know this one doesn't look quite vintage if anyone knows the Forth Rail Bridge as it has these white covers on it, but you get the idea
