This June 5, 2009 photo shows a famous 1918 "inverted Jenny" stamp featuring an upside-down biplane being held by Charles Shreve, president of Spink Shreves Galleries, in his office in Dallas. The stamp is part of a collection amassed by Pittsburgh stockbroker Robert H. Cunliffe, who died last year at the age of 83 and is expected to sell for more than $4 million when Dallas-based Spink Shreves Galleries puts it up for auction in New York City on Thursday and Friday.

As is usually the case, the collective market instinct was right. Check out the GDP chart above; it aptly demonstrates just how bad things got in 1981 and 1982. Interest rates fell dramatically for the next five years. Thirty year bond yields went from 14% to 7% while short-term rates, starting much higher at 15% fell to 5% or 6%. As for equities, the next year was brutal (see chart below). Long-term investors who bought at 10% definitely had the last laugh.
At a dance. I got quite bored of the face-sucking fellow teens, and so decided to take a few shots of the interesting shadows the strobes and other lights were creating. Then inverted the colours. I like blue.
Inverter wiring is very important. How many electricians really know about DC power other then you can weld with it.

there was a lot of wind up here, so it made sense not to have conventional umbrellas. they did have a type of inverted umbrella though. interesting.

My friend Jojo in San Diego bought this Christmas Tree that is an inverted one. He paid $240.00 for this. Why inverted? Fuuny and weird ha!
In this image you can see I have been experimenting with mono printing using brusho. to create the original heart image I layered several pieces of cartridge paper to create a 3D effect. After this I decided to experiment with inverting the colour of the original image to explore how it would change my original image making the layers and shapes more defined from the conversion of the white to black, it also has a more metallic look to it. I later used this in the background of another image.
« Caborne » is the vernacular word used in the Lyon city region, France, to name ancient dry-stones huts that could found in the neighboring massif of the Monts d’Or. Dry-stones huts developed in France a lot at the 18th-19th centuries and are no as old as we could first think. This flourishing age is due to the encouragement of the French Kingdom to clear some forestal domains and later to the development of small vineyard and access to the private property for little farming. Those « cabornes » were constructed following empirical rules and know-how of « caborniers », masons and quarrymen. Quarries of limestone in the Monts d’Or are still visible and gave the materials of most of the buildings erected in Lyon in the past.
Today the « cabornes » attract visitors with their ingenuity and rustic charm, often integrated into hiking trails. They evoke a sense of nostalgia and connection to nature, reinforcing regional and cultural identity. Associations of volunteers are organizing initiatives to inventory, restore and rediscovered the ancestral technics of dry-stone construction. Dry-stone huts are also found in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Finland as temporary shelter for shepherds and their animals, permanent habitations for monks or agricultural workers, storage and cheese making, etc.
For additional explorations of these « cabornes », I decided to visit different trails starting from Giverdy in Saint-Didier-au-Monts-d’Or on September 1st, 2 and 6, 2025. On Sept. 1st, 2025 my walk was limited to the village of Saint-Fortunat, a small district of Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d’Or, due to heavy rains and stormy weather while the weather forecast predicted only « light rains ». The weather was very fair on Sept. 2 and 6.
I was equipped of my heavy Nikon F4 year 1989 (see below for details about the camera and the lens) fitted with an AF-Nikkor 2/35mm lens and loaded with a black-and-white Adox HR-50 36-exposure film. The film is called « super panchromatic » with an extended spectral sensitivity in the red to the near-IR band. It is said that, recently, HR-50 film was released under the Leica brand (Leica Monopan 50). Processing of these 50 ISO film with extra-fine grain developper, like Adox Atomal 49, gives interesting rendering, with of very smooth and rich tone range and a very high resolution. Both Scala 50 and HR-50 are coated on clear thin (0.1 mm) polyester teraphtalate (PET) basis with black and blue dies layers that dissolve in water for anti-halo properties.
The AF-Nikkor lens 1:2 f=35mm was equipped as indicated below with an Hoya HMC UV 52mm screw-on protective filter or a generic 52mm Yellow filter. A rectangular Minolta shade hood D54KC designed for the MC-Rokkor 1:2.8 f=35mm lens was used for the whole session. The light metering was done using the Nikon F4 through the lens (TTL) systems either in the matrix or the spot metering used in the "A" aperture-priority auto mode or the manual mode.

After completion at view Nr. 38, the film was rewound manually and processed using 400 mL of stock solution of Adox Atomal 49 developer for 8min30 at 20°C plus 1min to compensate the developper exhaustion after the fifth film processed.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The diffuse light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite. The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.5 of August 2025) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with documentary smartphone color pictures taken during my walks.
About the camera and the lens:
Maybe it would have been better not to ask for this question: « what’s new do you have at the moment?» to my local photo store, because Christine grabbed underneath the counter, stating « I have that … » . What a beast ! A Nikon F4 in the exact state of the Nikon brochure year 1990, presented with the standard AF Nikkor 1:1.4 f=50mm. I was already hooked by the machine. After two days, I decided to buy it even with some little common issues found on early Nikon F4 (see below), fortunately not affecting the whole, numberous functions of this incredibly complex professional SLR of the year 1990’s.
Nikon F4 came to the market on September 1988 starting with the serial number 2.000.000. Fully manufactured in Japan (modules came from 3 different Nikon factories) the F4's were assembled in Mito, Ibaraki (North to Tokyo) Nikon plant (no more in the mother factory of Tokyo Oi like the Nikon’s F). When I lived in Tokyo in 1990-1991, Nikon F4 was the top-of-the-line of Nikon SLR camera’s. I saw it in particular in Shinjuku Bic Camera store when I bought there, in December 1990 my Nikonos V.
Nikon F4 incorporates many astonishing engineering features as the double vertical-travel curtain shutter capable of the 1/8000s. Compared to the Nikon F3, the F4 was an AF SLR operated by a CCD sensor (200 photo sites). The film is automatically loaded, advanced with to top speed of 5,7 frame/s !! With the MB-21 power grip (F4s version). The F4 is a very heavy camera (1.7kg with the AF Nikkor 1.4/50mm), incredibly tough and well constructed. This exemplary is devoid of any scratches or marks, and in a condition proving that it was not used for hard professional appliances, for those it was however intended. The camera has still it original Nikon neck strap, the original user manual in French. The lens is protected by a Cokin (Franc) Skylight 1A 52mm filter and the original Nikon front cap. The two small LCD displays (one on the F4 body, one in the DP-20 finder) are both affected by the classical syndrome of « bleeding ». Fortunately, all information could still be read. One says that 70% of the early Nikon F4 suffer from this problem but also found on other models.
According its serial number and the production rate of about 5000 units/month, this Nikon F4s was probably manufactured in Mito, Ibaraki, Japan in May 1989.
The camera was exported abroad thereafter attested by the presence of the golden oval little sticker("Passed" on the DP-20 viewfinder. In order to certify the quality production, two Japanese organizations, the Japan Camera Industry Institute (JCII) and the Japan Machinery Design Center (JMDC), joined forces to verify and mark the conformity of products for the foreign market. This is how, between the 1950s and 1980s, this famous little gold sticker was affixed, with the legendary "Passed", meaning that the device had been checked. Finally, when we say that the device had been checked, the production line had been checked because each device could not be checked individually.

About the lens:
The AF-Nikkor 1:2 f=35mm lens is part of the kit around my Nikon F4 year 1989. The kit now includes 3 very classical AF-Nikkor lenses of the same period of the Nikon F4 camera body, including the standard 1.4/50mm, the 1.8/85mm and the 2/35mm. The choice of fixed-focal lenses instead of zooms was already in 1989 a bit old-fashioned. However many photographers preferred still the homogenous rendering of a photo series done with a single focal lens. Generally speaking, a 35mm focal is a charming moderate wide-angle, very easy to use and particularly adapted for architectural and street-photography.
The AF-Nikkor 1:2 f=35mm is not a rare lens. However, when looked on eBay there was not tens of them available in EU. I bought a good one form a Belgian seller at a normal price (180€). The lens is in very good mechanical and optical condition and came with the rear and front caps. I sourced the dedicated Nikon HN-3 shade hood separately for 10€ .
