An experiment with light from our carbon monoxide detector. The yellow light is actually green and denotes the current state (which is good). The red is actually three blinking lights that denote the detector is detecting. The vertical strands is light that seeped through the edge of the door.
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.
Another busy day!!!
Our Science Surfers experiments are always astonishing
and kids were indeed surprised with density tower they made today.
They also enjoyed collaging the UAE national flag craft.
Basketball during their outdoor play was awesome.
Kids enjoyed circle time reviewing numbers and Phonics.
They acted as mail carriers delivering White Fields mails during pretend play.
They were very surprised to see how Pepsi drink exploded after adding baking soda during the science experiment.
It was a great day for us at White fields Nursery.
Experimento espacial de tiempo, visiones y andanzas mundanas reducidas a la reproducción de un movimiento constante, reproducción de los recuerdos y la mente... con audio
My two and a half year old daughter had been asking a lot about how things dry (her wet clothes/hair/spills, etc). She then started wondering what kind of things do dry. So we poured some liquids out and left them for a week. She's now asking daily for more "periments".
Working with volunteers, we set up experiments in utilizing ancient technology to transcend solid matter.
I liked the idea of putting the volunteers into costumes, though the other scientists were not so keen.
have you ever tried to take a long time exposure - close up shot of some controls while the elevator starts to move?
i did it!

O que se faz num sábado preguiçoso? Desmancha-se uma lente soligor 135f2.8 e faz-se uma tilt-shift "à la manita". Estes são os primeiros testes. Próxima etapa: despanchar uma 28mm que por aqui anda!

Trees etc. / Fullspectrum Experiment:
I know, I should not post so many pictures at one time, this reduces the chance anyone looks at anything but the first. But ... well, I can't help it.
I carried the fullspectrum camera with me today, and stacked 3 filters on top of the Minolta 50-135/3.5 lens: A UV-IR Cut, a warming filter and an UltraContrast 0.5. This way I got RAWs with almost no blue, a lot of warm tones and muted greens. I did some digital post processing, but the basic „color grading“ was done while I took the photos, thus analog.
Possibly this is dumb artsy talk, but I find many of these have a certain „presence" that is hard to explain. The lens was used wide open, mostly.
Along this track that I walk so often right now there's little more than trees and what you see here, so I need to make something out of that. I think this little series showed me again, there is potential and birch trees are always the photographers best friends.
Experiment: If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
Esperimento: Se avessimo saputo cosa stavamo facendo non l'avremmo chiamata ricerca, giusto?

So I was tired and I had some bits of clay with Robinia pseudoacacia leaves impregnated in them. I almost blindly rolled these out with the rolling pin and with just my fingertips rolled and pressed them together. This piece is about 5 inched across and is a wonderful centerpiece for twigs, dried leaves, holly, or something big and light like a dried Hydrangea inflorescence.
