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

Combining my tree theme with my Linda Kemp workshop here to produce trees in the negative painting style. This actually started off as trees in the positive, but my negative brain kicked in and this was the result. Sometimes there is no point in fighting it.

Have a 😄 HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday 😄
and stay healthy.
Many thanks for all your views, faves and comments.
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.
**tonight I donated to Razom for Ukraine and World Central Kitchen.
please don't forget Ukraine. they still need food, clothing, and medical supplies.
NO MORE WAR! enough....
More architectural impressions from around my West End neighbourhood in Vancouver.
THANKS EVERYBODY FOR YOUR VIEWS, COMMENTS, FAVES AND INVITES! ALL ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
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.
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!)
Happy Macro Mondays, HMM !!
"April Fools".
A brand new Fujifilm Intax camera, the Mini Instax 900, that creates instant 35mm color negatives.
This device is used to measure various portions of spaghetti. Or I suppose you could use it as a wrench/spanner for round nuts :>. For Macro Mondays theme "negative space".

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 ...

My younger son assisted me here. He used my mobile phone flashlight to create the shadow around the branch on the table. :-)

The eponymous object from the Discovery Cube Science Center in Santa Ana, CA. It looks quite ominous from underneath and in black-and-white.
I love negative space, which I think often provides breathing space and an aura of calm, so I was happy to see this week's theme. I fought the urge to choose a white background (believe me, it was a battle!) and instead chose 2 more of the pieces of painted paper I bought from an artist as 'byproducts' of her abstract work. The wooden vase is 1" high.
