"Logicians tell us that two Negatives make an Affirmative. Will somebody say how many Negatives make a Photographer ?"

Playing with the negative version of the photo I uploaded yesterday. ;-))

HSS everyone !!

Not knowing when the next wave is going to hit you, perhaps is your best chance to stay positive. The only way to survive is battling back even if you are feeling down.

Shooting with a GoPro Hero is a totally strange experience for me. Being an optical view finder guy, I have never gotten used to compose a shot with electronic view finders on my mobile phone, or even my Powershot S100. Now, imagine shooting in front of your subjects without using your hand, and instead, strapping and composing the camera with your head. You only get to see the results after pulling still frames out of a long video recording. This is weird and totally out of my comfort zone, but at the same time I feel this as another challenge to get something unique and fun.

Thanks to Alexis for the bodyguard gig:)

This negative is telling us to stay positive.

for Crazy Tuesday

Here today sick and frail it was all i could do to not let him sail

away

in the wind

thin beyond thin

bone and fur was all he had been

for who knows how long

he came to me to survive

i tried

once i caught him for a hospital visit

but he bit me hard to the bone i feared

and my visit was for six shots all in the rear

so i fed him and kept him warm in winter

the best i could

now i fear he is gone

not come back for more

and so he is finally at home

with a hot meal and a good tale to tell

of life and hardship with a cat tale to sell

Taken for the Crazy Tuesday theme of negative space. Some umbellifers given a high key treatment.

annual meeting of daddy longlegs on the wall ....inverted

while hunting for another photo in my vast store of "stuff", I ran into the photo on the left. I don't know how, or when, or why, but I thought I'd to invert and see what was there. It's definitely me, I must have been working on making negatives at the time.

one of life's mysteries.

on the right is the inversion.

I tried searching on my stream, but it was quite a task. dunno whether I've used this photo before or not.

ah, I did find a version here from Sept 2016. I was working on oiled paper negatives.

The Japanese concept of Ma has been described as “a pause in time”, an interval or emptiness in space. As a music teach once said "Leave space so the high notes can shine".

Ma is not the negative space we photographers utilize in our images, but an emptiness full of potential. It should be deliberate and of value, holding sustenance towards the entirety of the shot.

Western image making seems to suffer from "FTF" : Fill the Frame. where 'empty' zones are frowned upon.

I could have easily removed that vignette, but when I did the entire 'atmosphere' of this scene suffered...

the strangest thing about a hole is the edge.

If a hole is plugged, where is it?

And: and why are there no half holes ??

Another in my (unintended) series of storm damaged tree photos. This big guy has lost half his limbs, and now stands rather awkwardly, perhaps fearful of the next great storm. (Or am I just reading too much into the image?) Seen in Co. Mayo, Ireland.

Tropical storm Typeo brought it.... a new perspective on an old craft. I thank you my friend!

Here's Candor, thoroughly enjoying the fresh north sea air and finding nothing negative about the space to his left ;)

(we got back yesterday; sorry for not commenting all that much during our time at the seaside; I'll try to catch up!)

Taken up in Steamboat Springs, Colorado we were lucky to catch a balloon festival going on!

"Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation." -- Michael Jordan

This image is a color negative of the bubble I created today.

Because darkroom paper is orthochromatic, the colour response isn't what you might expect - the petals of this sunflower are actually yellow and the background should be black ...
