Even this odd little wooden head figure knows not to fool around with Mercury! For the Macro Mondays theme, "In a Bottle". The bottle measures 1.25 inches tall and the scene fit within the three inch requirement. FYI - The mercury has been properly disposed.
Shot with: VOIGTLANDER, 125mm f/2.5 SL, MACRO APO-LANTHAR @ f/5.6, 3 Layer Focus Stack Rendered w/ Helicon Focus. The bottle and figure were placed on a plastic white cutting board with just sunlight coming through the kitchen window.
From what I was told by the owner, a pretty rare model , only made for a few years and he happened to find one. He did a frame up restoration on it as well. It was one of the cleanest resto's I've ever seen. Just about flawless... Nikon Nikkor 180 2.8 AIS ED.

No doubt about it, I got those Mercury Blues.
"If I had money, I'd tell you what I'd do, I'd go downtown and buy a Mercury too."
-K. C. Douglas and Robert Geddins
The guys who wrote that song (Mercury Blues) knew all about having the blues.
Here's my favorite version:

Now I'm off to test drive a Mercury. Ooo, I forgot they don't make them anymore. Talk about the blues.

We're back in another Mercury Retrograde phase. I'm trying to remain focused despite the odd mechanical breakdowns and delays that are springing up in my life. A good use of these three weeks is to pause, reflect, and form a plan of action for the post retrograde beginning in early October. I find retrogrades are a wonderfully creative and imaginative time, so no need to hold back there. Retrogrades have a way of reconnecting us with our past, both events and people. No surprise then that I've spent the past few flickr posts on an event from months ago. I'm always most intensely interested in the photos I took yesterday. Beyond that they tend to feel stale even if I never fully evaluated them in the first place. Time and the frenetic pace of life simply push older photo shoots out of mind.
Anyway I found myself back in in this portrait session from the beginning of summer. Just happened to encounter this girl somewhere along the way at a Civil War encampment. She appeared a bit disheveled and her costume was superbly worn and weathered. She had amazing eyes, wide set and a piercing gaze. For this portrait I conceived of an old tintype that had been hand colored, inexpertly but with great sensitivity.

Styling changes were slight in 1947. The Mercury name was placed on the side of the hood. Different hubcaps were used. The border around the grille was chrome plated. The "Eight" script still ran down its center. There was also new trunk trim. More chrome was used on the interior and the dash dial faces were redesigned. 86,363 Mercury Eights were sold.

When I bought this 1940 Mercury at a car show in Pa. it was nothing like it is here. It was seriously outdated attempt at a very rare vehicle that had great potential that I saw as soon as I laid eyes on it. We took off the outdated graphics and added flames. We changed the exhaust system and tires and wheels. We dropped the front end as it was sitting at stock height. I’m very happy with the choices we made.
Thanks for viewing my work
