I’ve always been rather attracted to this Papermate propelling pencil because of its transparent barrel and the details of the spiral mechanism for extruding the graphite. Oh, and the colour… So I could hardly resist when the spiral topic came around again for Macro Mondays.
A bit of a rush job though - one take and then a patch-up in the processing. Had I had more time I think I would have used a tripod and focus stacking (or a different lens). Ah well…
This is vaguely what I intended, or at least an inch and half of it anyway. The full pencil is more interesting :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Mondays :)

Over the years I have accumulated a nice collection of old cameras and have decided to make a photographic record of some of them. This old Speed Graphic, photographed on a fence post in Star Valley, Wyoming, has a personal story. When we were living in Alameda, California, my wife Linda met Verlene Kunz Baker, who had grown up in Bern, Idaho which is about five miles from where we live now. Her husband, Stan, was in the Alameda police department and used this camera in his police work. Verlene and Linda became very good friends and I got to know Stan because of their friendship. When Stan passed away, Verlene gave this camera to me, and it is a well-used centerpiece of my collection. The camera's film format is 2 1/4 x 3 1/4.
Last week I was enjoying my second spring hiking, and I suddenly spotted an awesome tree with leaves with this color, and I had to take some shots from it. I love their pastern, and they are also part of a flag, the Canadian flag:

I had to admit that when I saw the tree, I intermediately thought of Autumn, and here is why...

I specially love trees, birds and flowers, but there is so much to see, enjoy and capture during a long hiking trip, a lake, a conservation area, forest or park, the list of places is very long, that‘s why I‘m a photographer!
Graphic design is another way to express myself. I love reinventing a photo that I have seen, in different ways. I use Photoshop to do these transformations, and I also my own photos to create textures.

the light carves a sharp question mark on the old asphalt. he steps into it, a figure caught between the vast, consuming dark and an uncertain path ahead. his gesture is an unspoken plea, a silent weighing of invisible burdens. where the shadows end, and the journey begins anew, he stands. a solitary soul at a crossroads of time and choice, the city's indifferent hum his only witness. it is a moment of profound, quiet decision.
