Nigh impossible to take photos of Nature, even here in rural Shanghai, without some form of man-made coming into play.
What fascinates me is the predominance of the colour yellow - appearing naturally from, I'd have to say, 90% of plants. Somebody told me it's because yellow is the most attractive colour to bees - how sad that we are killing those little Buzzers off with our polluted ways.
It's been a long, grey, brutal winter. At last Life and Colour are returning. As such, we ventured out on the bikes today.
My painting partner this week! after a long, long week of painting we have finished phase 1 of our Impossible Project of painting the house.
A piece of the pie on one of our Moderntone depression glass plates. Taken by Edgar. When we were clearing out my mother's house in 2005, one of the things we found was an Eastern Star cookbook. I called Shirley, one of Mother's Eastern Star friends, and offered to donate the book to Mother's chapter. Shirley said that would be great. Before I sent the cook book to her, I copied some of the recipes. There were three recipes in the book for "impossible pie" (a type of pie that does not have a crust you roll out...it forms a sort of crust as you bake it). None of them was completely satisfactory, so I compiled a recipe using portions of the three in the book. This was not only the first time I have ever made an "impossible pie", I think it is the first time I have ever eaten any. We think it turned out quite well, and it was very tasty (even if I say so myself).
The people at Impossible Project held a open house and I was invited to join the tour of the factory. The place once employed 1200 people at the hight of the Polaroid days. Now just 36 people are the Impossible Project. All of them passionate, dedicated and giving their all to keep us Polaroid camera users happy with film. Daunting task and after the visit I have nothing but respect for people achieving the impossible.

I can't remember if Mike was in conversation, pondering the various cameras and films on display, or just deep in Buddhist Zen miditation induced by the cool atmosphere of The Impossible Project's NYC Space. Colors were a bit tricky to correct on this frame for whatever reason.
Taken in The Impossible Project NYC Space, SoHo, New York City, NY.
Camera: Hasselblad 500C/M
Film: Kodak Portra 400

Playing with #Diptic app. Polaroid SX70. Getting some Impossible Project film for this. I hope it works. It's a crap shoot with these cameras. Had one when they first came out and a Spectra thereafter. I liked the earlier SX70 film before the film was changed and couldn't be manipulated with a stylus. I used to love making art while the chemicals dried. Instagram and Hipstamatic are the new Polaroid in digital. But I still love film.

Chris Craft (Chris Craft Undercroft) has installed some MC Escher "Impossible Stairs" at LEA1, and provided free "gravity boots" so we can actually walk the stairs - it's so cool - it's so trippy!

I am fatigued. Washed up. Out. It rains.
Cat supplies. Sunday. We have a coupon
for a cat toy. Something with a feather
on the end of a stick perhaps. A good feather
on the end of a stick is not to be discounted
as an avenue into the City of Joy. This light.
It’s like right before the season turns nasty.
And where did the sun go? Spain? Italy?
The bookstore will have the last book
I’ll ever need to buy, also the last music.
One sentence will take me months to read,
then I’ll have to ask everyone I know to tell
me what it means? Do you know what it means?
A dozen songs, all about the love of a woman
for her handbag. What does the handbag mean?
It’s still raining. I’ll go now and stand in the shower
under an umbrella and pretend to be a crazy man
in Spain Madrid Barcelona Portugal Lisbon.
Lean closer. You are a very sweet person. Click.
Same as the previous picture this was taken during our quest for some good compositional photos. I was really lucky with this one, not only was it a random find but the lower trainer was twirling and i managed to get it just as it faced me, which i didn't even notice until i compared it with the previous one i'd taken.
When we took it into editing that afternoon i thought it'd be interesting to leave the trainers in colour while having a black and white cloudy background. I think it works well and the people in my class were really taken with it.
