Macro Mondays: Leather

Detail of a leather bag that my sister made for me many, many years ago.

Basmala Arabic: بسملة‎

 

Muslims start everything with this phrase

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

 

Today we start a New Hijri Year

Got obsessed with:

Juxtaposition of colour

Detail in the thread

The tops of the reels

How the light plays on the overlapping thread

 

Ended up with a bit of all of the above.

 

Was never going to be an issue with finding thread in our house as my wife loves leatherwork and our son is off to Uni to study textile design!

The design and leatherwork was made by my daughter

 

Looking Close on Friday's theme: Embossed leather

 

Soft portrait of an incredibly talented and driven student of mine of past years. Driven and passionate is putting it lightly for sure. Nikkor- s 50 1.4 under a work lamp.

" ... A mí me hallará el dos mil,

una milonga cantando,

porque me sigo alumbrando

con ese mismo candil...

No me meto en el redil

de cualquier ruido extranjero...

Orgulloso y altanero,

voy a cumplir el destino,

de ser un Gaucho Argentino:

bota, bombacha y sombrero ..."

A striking close-up of a performer in a detailed steampunk-inspired monster costume at the Guggenmusik Festival. Rusted metal elements, intricate textures, and an expressive face bring this character to life in the vibrant atmosphere of the event.

 

Only fans and friends. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

The steampunk beast in its entirety.

It used to be called The Leatherworks, which was appropriate because that's what it really used to be back in the day.

 

Anyway, I am calling that chain a fence, so HFF everybody.

1930 mercedes benz SS cabriolet constructed to the specifications of the Maharaja of Kashmir. Hari Singh, the last ruling Maharaja of Kashmir, was a typically extravagant client of Mercedes-Benz’s top-line model, commissioning a long-wheelbase SS Sport in 1930 to match his yacht (as one does). Because Singh was reportedly “not much of a driver,” his SS Sport went relatively underutilized during its heyday and has retained about 95 percent of its originality, with only a few details—like leatherwork—having been updated during its nearly century-long life.

 

Sporting a massive 7.1 liter straight 6 engine, it also had a supercharger that engaged when the pedal is floored, causing an earsplitting loud howl that caused more than a few to change their underwear. The sound has been nicknamed the “elephant,” for the trumpet-like blast of the supercharger engaging.

 

Also disorienting for today's drivers, the pedals are reversed with the accelerator in the center and the brake on the right......you can imagine yourself forgetting and punching the wrong one in a panic situation. No synchromesh mean grinding gears, and adding to the extremely visceral nature of the multisensory experience is a thick, round steering wheel that controls the front wheels without any power assistance, and brakes which require a degree of clairvoyance because they appear to have the stopping power of two wood blocks being pressed together by arthritic monkeys.

but......what a ride!

Vintage leather working awl from the 1950s or earlier, showing traces of the original green paint. This quite a small tool, being only 4.375" in overall length, but it fits nicely in the palm of my hand for excellent control.

Here is another archive photo from 1996. Taken by my friend Morag at The Inner Circle club in Bristol. A great night out for serious fetish lovers which is no longer running. I met some really good friends there.

I love this photo with the nice shadows. On this night I had been filmed by a local Cable TV crew getting ready to go out and also some footage of me going into the club.

Morag took this photo later on that evening. This is the same backless designer dress as in my Katrina archive collage. I am also wearing my Libidex red latex tights they really thin grade and feel like skin. (sadly they split years ago). The strappy 6-inch heeled Shoes are from Leatherworks, one of my earliest pairs.

ended up a bit darker than intended; this place is anything but.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I have no idea what these guys were doing in town but their costumes were exceptionally high quality. The leatherwork and chainmail, together with the weathering effects, were stunning. I kept this in colour purely for the gorgeous hues of that leather. Enjoy!

took some selfish time yesterday for a pre-drawing to a leatherwork project that i’ll probably never get around to.

" ... Por eso te quiero tanto

mi viejo lazo trenzao,

y como me hallo inspirao

en estos versos te canto.

En mis rimas te agiganto

porque un deber me convida,

y cuando en forma sentida

te acaricio con afán

me acuerdo que Corbalán

¡te está debiendo la vida! ..."

" ... La espuela no es heredad

La usó el hombre de espadilla;

y de encharolada bota,

apura con el talón ..."

For 120 pictures in 2020 #67 "Leather" this is a detail on one of my wife's old (OLD!) purses. I don't have a carbon dating machine, so I'm not sure exactly how old.

Horseman VH-R and Fomapan 100 / developed in HC-110

 

[With very nasty weather here and a new bottle of Kodak HC-110 developer to try out, I decided to shoot some items that I find around the house every day and also experiment with a one light set-up for still life. It turns out I like the HC-110 and will be using it often from now on.]

-complete repaint using quality acrylics

-one of a kind costume created from real leather & fur

I made this leather wallet with hand stitching over five years ago. Still in pretty good shape, except the corners.
