The FPL power plant at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale was imploded on July 16th to make way for a new power plant that will burn natural gas. To give you an idea of size, the smoke stacks are 350 feet tall.
Art Whizin (d. 1994 at age 88) established the Chili Bowl restaurant chain in Los Angeles in 1931, known for its distinctive shape in the form of a chili bowl. Whizin was a 25-year-old former amateur boxer when he established the business on Crenshaw Boulevard near Jefferson Boulevard with funding raised by selling "his wife's wedding ring and his roadster." Other businesses at the time were also modeled with architecture featuring eye-catching architectural depictions of the goods sold including ice a cream cones and coffee kettles.
Chili Bowl restaurants were arranged with 26 stools around a circular counter (no tables) and employed college "kids" as burger flippers. The specialty dish was an open-faced burger smothered in chili and there were 22 restaurants within a decade of the eatery's opening.
Four Chili Bowl structures survive.
Folklore and stories about Whizin and the Chili Bowl include:
-Whizin painted "Pat. Pending" on the side of his eatery to avoid his restaurant's design being copied, resulting in fan mail addressed to "Pat Pending".
-One of the restaurant's slogans was: We cook our beans backwards - you only get hiccups.

Roll 16, the final roll of Analogue April. In the Yashica FX-D w/ ML 50mm f2
One of the reasons of doing a film-only month was experimenting with weird and random films I've never used before, and for this lot I used Adox Color Implosion.
It seems to be a strange sort of part redscale, part slide film. Redscale in the sense that it's rated at iso100, but I think it's actually an iso400 film. Due to the face that even when rated at 400 (the shot taken under the canal bridge is a good example) it doesn't look underexposed. Yet rating it at 100 (most of the really bright daylight shots) doesn't seem to look overexposed at all.
Part slide due to the weird colour shifts and prominent grain similar to cross processed slide films. Also the negative strip itself is a strange colour, a sort of dull pale lilac/purple.
Anyway, the guy in the shop I purchased it from (the shop in The Photographer's Gallery, London) was very helpful and gave me these tips on using it:
Rate at ISO100 for vintage looking, subdued saturation and a 60's-ish colour palette.
Rate at ISO200 for 'burning reds' (as mentioned on the Adox website) Everything gets a sort of green/aqua colour cast apart from red hues which get boosted.
Rate as ISO400 for more prominent 'retro' colours and more saturation than ISO100
Used these tips for the whole roll. Anything in bright sunshine was 100, anything with red in it was 200, and the odd few are 400.
On another note, the film might be a bit of a pain to get scanned. The automatic scanner used by the lab I took it to and used by a majority of other high street labs had issues actually finding the images on the negative due to it's dark colour, and I had to get them re-scanned manually which took more time and money.
The Art League of Houston is set to demolish two old houses, buildings that have served as studios for the league for several years. In their place, new studios will be built.
The league commissioned Houston sculptors Dan Havel and Dean Ruck to create works out of the building before demolition.
Basically, they took all the wooden siding panels from the side of the house and created this hole, which goes all the way through the house. The yellow crime tape is there because, a few days earlier, people were walking inside and crawling around on the structure, which I'm sure isn't too stable.
The house is set to be demolished in early June.

I used the Zoom Burst, or what I call the Warp Speed Effect to get this. I framed the shot the way I wanted, started the exposure, and after a second I manually zoomed IN on my subject. I don't start the zoom immediately after the shutter opens because I like to have enough of the subject in the image so that it's recognizable before I start the zoom effect.
I tweaked the JPG version of this shot because again I couldn't get what I wanted out of the RAW conversion. Does anyone know what Nikon does specifically in their in-camera JPG conversion and noise reduction to produce their images? I guess I don't yet know enough about RAW conversion to know all the little tricks to get it to come out right.
