A little group at kinder, that's me in the blue dress. It's 1973 in Frankston. I wonder whether anyone else can recognise themselves in this photo.
I often sit on these here rocks and look across the bay while pondering life's big questions: what should I have for dinner tonight, where will I be in five years time, how on earth do they expect me to pay back my students loans, et cetera.
Utata's weekend project "Heimat" (June 3rd - 17th, 2017) nebulously defines the theme as "home", "place you are from", or "place you belong". I chose a street in a small town as most representative, with few people evident and doors trustingly propped open.
Then I read Martin's interpretation as a place you grew up. This brought to mind the technically embarrassing photos I could take with grainy, slow film and a slow, crummy, fixed aperture camera. These were usually over or under exposed and frequently blurred. So i went for a walk with a shutter set for 1/15 s to blur the image, processed at +2.0 EV, then converted to B&W to match my nostalgia.
But is it still sufficiently "Heimat"?
I was perusing Popular Photography website today and found an article on the digital black and white work of Cole Thompson. Being inspired by his work, I decided to go back to an image from fall that I never uploaded.
According to the Popular Photography article he will spend 50 hours on one photo, and often uses the blue channel to convert to B&W.
Well, I did neither of those in this picture, but I did use a somewhat unconventional conversion.
I created three seperate b&w layers. The first (bottom) layer was done with Image > Adjustments > Gradient Map, and selecting a black to white gradient. The second (middle) layer was done with Image > Calculations, and selecting the Red Channel for both sources, and setting the blending mode Multiply. The third (top) layer was done the same way as the second except using Overlay as the blending mode. I then copied the first (bottom) layer and pasted it as a layer mask on the top layer.

I've been confronted once again to situations which happened 20 years ago when the edge of history made a cut one more time. It was revolutionary autumn of 1989 when people behind iron curtain had met in the streets and demanded change. My generation had been too young to be allowed to participate. Me and my mates were watching those events like tourists in own country. And these memories now return as flashes in the dark, revealing obscure development of history in time.
Takes us back to 2006. We are at the east end of the Bensenville intermodel yard. The pull back crew just brought the power over and after a quick marker test from mechanical, we will be heading home. 2 of SOO's finest SD60's are today's power for train 183. The 60's were good power for this type of train. Not uncommon to have a little over 4 hour trip between Chicago and Portage, WI for this train.

More lovely things from Lori, but this I bought! She was clearing out more dolls and I simply HAD to jump on this lovely Lottie doll. The very first time I saw her she reminded me of a child version of Reese Randall and needed her but never really pulled the trigger so thankfully I have her now! Finding other clothing for her is tricky but she seems to fit short bratz items just fine so now I just have to find shoes she can wear. Hmm - what about the kelly sized dolls.......
Day 10--Nostalgia.
When I was little I got a free promotional camera from a bank that went out of business. It was a terrible camera. It never wound the film right, so every picture I took with that camera was double-exposed. Most of those pictures were just a mess, but some were surprisingly cool. I had shots of people suddenly flying over earthquake wreckage or swimming with the whales at Sea World, and I could never predict what would be in that photo envelope when I picked it up at the store.
I haven't thought about any of that in years, but today I was looking at my two favorite shots of the day and started missing those random double exposures. That's just not something that happens with digital, unless you make it happen after the fact, so that's what I did.
Emily sat in this box when she was a baby at Christmas, and now I'm recreating the scene with Annika. (Yes, there are two flashback stories in one double picture!) The other picture is my Christmas tree through a water glass at night. It's weird, but I wanted to try something different, and I like it. :o)
Traffic was terrible on Friday, so I pulled out the trusty map book and found an alternate route: a neighborhood cut-through between Chamblee-Tucker and Pleasantdale.
I veered off of Chamblee-Tucker at an alarming speed (it's hard to keep pace with traffic while looking for a street you've never seen before!) and coasted up the hill and into the quiet neighborhood. As I took a turn and drove downhill again, I noticed that the houses were quite unlike a lot of the 50's ranch homes that populate much of Tucker. Lots of full-height windows extending into the apex of the roof line. Flat-roofed carports. Dark, dark natural wood tones and big orange double front doors. The works. I'm not certain, but it seems to me that these were homes of the 60's and 70's. The neighborhood's quiet, dark feel only added to the uniqueness of it. By the time I picked my camera up from the passenger seat, the homes were growing more typical, but I felt this one captured it decently. I'll have to go back for more at a later date.
These may be extremely normal to you, reading this, but as someone who has spent most of his life in 80's and 90's architecture, they're very unusual and foreign to me.
