Thank you so very much for all your visits and thoughts.
The wild lilies dried up very quickly in this hot, dry summer. But before they faded completely, many of them seemed to fold in upon themselves in a sort of protective posture.
So on a Macro Mondays posting recently someone mentioned that they didn’t have a ruler and hoped their picture was within the 3” parameters. And I got to thinking about teaching my elementary kids about measuring —- you always have a ruler with you….
For most people the distance between the first and second knuckle on your forefinger (pointer) is about an inch - even on adults. Go ahead try it… For those of you using metric measurements it’s about 2.4cms…..
So now you can measure macro items with more confidence!…… (By the way, another equivalency - the distance between your bent wrist and your crooked elbow is about the size of your foot. There are others.)
And if you’ve stuck with me for this science/math lesson— wish me a happy birthday 🎂- yes, it really and truly is my birthday!!
It was my birthday last week and I was offered a new origami book :D (Origami creator 3 by Setsuko Yamashina)
So here is something very different from what I'm used to fold but I have spent a wonderful time thinking about it :)
Bamboo leaves are also by this wonderful creator but not described in the same book.
Waterpocket Fold (long red feature, center) is the primary geological feature of Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. Here is the uplift as seen from Utah Highway 12. Moonrise was authentic with the photo.
The Henry Mountains in the distance are named for Joseph Henry (1797-1878), American scientist and inventor.
Link to Japanese language video for this fun fold-over 2-pocket zip pouch available here:

Also my notes about it. There's an open pocket behind the zippered one. Finished at 5" wide x 3.5" tall when closed.
The Painted Hills in Central Oregon - one of the most amazing sights that I have ever had the privilege to see. Delicate folded hills with layer upon layer of the most gorgeous reds, yellows and oranges - constantly changing with the light. New forms and shapes are seen as shadows lengthen... nature as art.

La Folding Pocket Kodak és una càmera força important. En primer lloc, és una de les primeres càmeres de rodet del món, i molt en especial, la primera que realment es podia portar a la butxaca, com clàrament indica el seu nom. Hi havia ja aleshores càmeres més petites, però no de rodet de pel·licula.
La FPK es començà a produir el 1897, i inicià una gràn familia de càmeres plegables de la marca Kodak que s'allargaren fins poc abans de la Segona Guerra Mundial, amb infinitat de variants. És, pertant la "avia" de totes elles. Emprava el format 105, fent fotos de 2 1/4 x 3 1/4; de fet és molt similar al actual format 120, pel que amb certa traça, es pot fer servir en aquesta càmera.
L'obturador i l'objectiu eren molt senzills, integrats en l'estructura i que no permetien quasi cap variació en la fotografia. De fet, aquesta càmera no té gaires més possibilitats que una molt més senzilla i ubicua Brownie de caixa, però gràcies a la manxa, és molt més compacta.
El 1899, pràcticament sense canviar la estructura, la càmera canvià de nom, incorporant el No.1 davant de "Folding Pocket Kodak"; així es diferenciava de altres variants de mides diferents que s'anaven incorporant al cataleg, com la No.0 o la No.1A. Tot i que hi ha diversos "sub-models" de trancisió, crec que aquesta és encara una FPK original, ja que s'en fabricaren 75.000, i el seu nº de serie està entre els 44.000. Igualment, en el text al interior de la càmera no parla de cap patent posterior al 1894 (n'he vista altres que si ho fan), ni incorpora visors tipus "brilliant", tipics de les primeres "No.1". Tot plegat, dona una cronologia de fabricació del 1898-1899, just quan la Guerra de Cuba!
Algú, potser el primer propietari, gravà les lletres AP en un dels extensors cromats, segurament les seves inicials.

======================
The Folding Pocket Kodak is a very historically important camera. First and foremost, it is one of the first roll-film cameras in the world, and especially the first that could really be carried in your pocket, as the name implies. At that time there were smaller cameras, but using glass plates.
The FPK began production in 1897, and launched a large family of Kodak-branded folding cameras that lasted until shortly before World War II, with countless variants. It is, as such, the "grandmother" of all of them. It used the 105 format roll film, taking 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 photos; in fact it is very similar to the current format 120, so with some adaptations it can be used in this camera.
The shutter and lens were very simple, integrated in the structure and allowed almost no variation in photography. In fact, this camera does not have much more possibilities than a much simpler and ubiquitous Brownie box camera, but thanks to the bellows, it is much more compact.
In 1899, with almost no change in structure, the camera was renamed, incorporating No.1 in front of "Folding Pocket Kodak"; Thus it differed from other variants of different sizes that were being incorporated into the catalog, such as No.0 or No.1A. Although there are several trance "sub-models", I think this is still an original FPK and not a No.1, as 75,000 were manufactured, and its serial number is between the 44,000. Also, in the text inside the camera it does not speak of any patent since 1894 (I have seen others than they do), nor does it incorporate "brilliant" viewfinders, typical of the first "No.1". All in all, it gives a manufacturing timeline of 1898-1899, just when the Cuban War!
Someone, maybe the first owner, wrote the letters AP on one of the chromed struts, probably his initials.

Laziness is the reason for this shot!
Sorry, I know I am only cheating myself.
But we all get like this sometime's!
I will make a special effort tomorrow.
@Macro Mondays: Usually when I see the photo theme of the week, I get an idea almost immediatly. But this time I had to google for inspiration. In this way I discovered a whole new world, the world of folded book art. This week's challenge was to fold a heart in a book and take a macro picture for Macro Mondays theme " Crinkled , Wrinkled , Folded or Creased ". If you never have tried this before but have become curious about this folding technique, you can certainly find a video online. I followed this swedish instruction www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vhv7OzYjwE.

The cat may be a Scottish fold but the sweater is from Spain ;)
Karine's knitting is super perfect, from the fit to the materials and my dolls were dying to have something new from her :)
A tiny Univex model AF-2 folding camera with a much bigger Kodak Model A-3 Autographic. The Univex was introduced in 1935 and uses #00 film. It originally sold for $1.50. The Kodak was made from 1916 to 1937 and was the first rangefinder camera. It used A122 film that allowed notes to be made with a stylus directly on the film.
I thought Bo Dudas would like this one.
Designed and folded by me.

META ANNOUNCEMENT
it seems like Flickr is a dying medium especially for people within the origami community. I'll still post on Flickr especially if you're interested in reading my lengthy model descriptions, but I will also be active in Instagram because it seems to be where the cool kids are these days. You can follow me at: www.instagram.com/origamiforthewin/
You can consider my instagram as a blend of my origami works and some aspects of my personal life. Please consider following if you'd like food and want to keep up with my sporadic origami design schedule - it feels pretty lonely and I'd appreciate some livening up!
Also this is my Facebook page:
I intend to not only post crease patterns over there but also _maybe_ post some of my thoughts regarding origami. There's plenty of room for growth and experimentation there so go check it out! (Don't worry I'll still post CPs here occasionally)
Anyways, ...

I received a sheet of orange elephant hide during an origami meetup in Taiwan. I decided why not fold a subject whose origins are supposedly based in Taiwan? (or so they say)
This model is very layer-intensive. Elephant hide seems like the wrong paper choice but it's an opportunity to work with the layers you have instead of trying to hide them.
Pretty happy with how it turned out, especially the 3-D nature of this model. Shame there's a noticeable crease line going down towards
the anal fin just because of the way I folded it.
