As summer has turned to fall it's time to say good-bye for a while to one of my favorite insects, the mighty cicada. Take your cicada love with you into the cool weather with this little beauty. Brass cicada measures about 2"long by about 1" wide. I first put a rich black patina on the little critter, then riveted it securely to an adjustable ring. Ready for your wearing pleasure.
Another oldie from my first year in Vancouver. When I spotted Jiminy Cricket on this fence in the Kitsilano neighbourhood, the colour jumped out at me. Dull day. Framing it like this, I wasn't totally comfortable with the composition. Although 46 years have passed, I clearly remember my dilemma, and the choice to allow that blue fence to recede into the background. It would draw the eye away if Jiminy were not so brightly coloured. As it is, I think there's balance, although just barely.
I shot this on the old pre-Velvia Fujichrome (Velvia was still 18 years in the future): 100 ISO, tending toward pastel tones, muted and slightly muddy, colour balance fairly good. Every film had its unique palette. When I process scanned slides from the past I try not to mess with that palette too much, unless there is a bad colour cast or fading that makes major reconstruction necessary.
The camera was a Pentax Spotmatic, with a 28mm lens; scanned from the original Fujichrome slide. Photographed in Vancouver, BC (Canada). Don't use this image on websites, blogs, or other media without explicit permission © 1973 James R. Page - all rights reserved.

I found this note on top of a trash can I was emptying at the store. It's written on the yellow notepads we used at the store for inventories and such. I wonder if an employee put it there or a customer using the same kind of notepad.
