When we were asked to experiment with the Holga, I determined I didn't want to do anything that would permanently ruin the camera because I may end up using it in the future. Thus, I cut small strips of paper and taped them strategically in the back of the camera so that the resulting design would appear as part of the image.
This photograph was shot in the courtyard on the Marietta College campus between the Dawes Memorial Library and McDonough Leadership Center. I placed the Holga on the stones around a small garden next to one of the walkways. Although the trash can sort of disturbs the image, I feel as if I'm looking into an area at a zoo waiting for an animal to come out from hiding when I look at this photo.
The original negative was washed out and you could tell that the paper was blue so I played with levels to make the photo more colorful. After doing this, the image appeared very green so I changed the Red curve in order to get a contrast between the greenery in the foreground and the brick building in the background.
Here you see another option with 4 full pieces of FBR used instead of half, it gets rather crowded in there this way, I found it better to use the halves and fill in the rest with glue.
I had to drill and tap four 1/4-20 holes in the StarSense camera bracket for mounting it to the Vixen bar.

-- A fundamental modification in meaning and value of pure form-elements arises with the addition of colors, which not only determine the emotional atmosphere of a pictorial representation or its inner vision, but open a new dimension. While the three Euclidian dimensions of space with which we are familiar represent three outwardly directed movements, colors and tonal values (attention may be drawn to the double meaning of "tonal," which can be related to colors as well as to music) are inwardly directed and thus create a space in which things exist not only side by side but also within each other, and yet not dissolving or annihilating each other.
-- Color and sound (music) are direct expressions of psychic experiences which cannot be grasped, defined, or expressed by the intellect. While pure abstract forms initially appeal to the intellect, colors appeal first and foremost to feeling. The intellect defines and limits; the same is done by form. Color, however, gives us the warmth of life, of feeling, of emotion and all the indescribable nuances of experience, which the intellect is not able to express or to define. Therefore, the virtue of form is clarity; the virtue of color is depth. From the intellect we demand clarity,consistency, logic, distinction; we demand the same of form. From feeling we demand depth; the same applies to color.
-- Thus, color reveals something that has to do with inner nature or emotional value of form, and this is all the more so to the extent that we keep away from a mere imitation of externally visible objects and create exclusively from our inner vision or our meditative experience.
-- Here the question arises whether any definite relation exists between fundamental forms and colors beyond our subjective attitude or experience.
-- If we consider that the universe---as it is reflected in our human consciousness---is composed of three fundamental forms and three fundamental colors, and that the forms as well as the colors develop into pairs of opposites which condition and compensate each other like the positive and the negative poles of a magnet, or like the active and passive properties of the male and the female, then it is hard to believe that this parallelism is a mere accident. Both express the structure of our three-dimensional world by which they are conditioned; they represent the same harmony in different dimensions---there is a definite relationship between colors and forms. This relationship may be expressed in different ways, according to the standpoint of the individual, but this changes only the key-note, not the melody. Even a different rhythm, according to the individual temperament and experience, would not destroy that melody.

I left the computer at the office for the first time ever.
Since going to bed, from my mobile, I have emailed:
- myself 2 ideas/notes,
- a task reminder for a friend sysdmin,
- and two moblog entries.
I haven't been this productive in bed in a whi...
In our ongoing quest to make the barn loft the most cowboy-themed living space ever, we bought this cowhide. When we laid it down, Lucy became very nervous. You could see the little wheels turning, "Hmmm. Black and white animals who don't cut it are made into rugs around here."
After years of apathy about hunting critters (we actually had to set a mousetrap when a mouse got in our house because Lucy would sit in her bed and watch it run across the floor), Lucy has become "Super Terrier", scourge of varmints everywhere.

This is a work-in-progress of the Clock Town map. So far, it's coming along nicely, and the details are forming rather well. It should look amazing come release.
Used sewing string for the paws since the bigger string couldn't fit @.@ Also got splashed, but that's not a problem since I"m going for darkest dark
The Festival of Stuff finale was bursting with delectable making madness, this time through the theme of mini-golf. We built an 18-hole Crazy Materials Golf Course for our visitors to play, as well as filling the street outside the Institute of Making with demonstrations and making stations.
I've also removed the cat for the moment. This is mainly as I don't want to destry it while tuning the engine as they don't like too rich a mix. I'll put it back on when I'm done as I don't like polluting for the sake of it.
Job #1 was to attach saddle to the bar and it had to be perfectly square. Problem was that Vixen bar has 12° angle so regular toolmakers square wasn't good for this job. I used large V-block that has 2 faces perfectly square and to make sure that the bar is in full contact with V-block I used old toolmaker's trick by placing 2 thin shim strips between V-block and bar. If one can be pulled it is not square.
