so...i haven't taken many pictures lately, and i've hardly been on flickr at all for like a month now. i thought it might be nice to upload a couple of shots, though. it's probably good to keep some kind of connection going, not just disappear completely.
sorry again for lack of reciprocity, everybody. i'm just not able to give as much attention to photography as i'd like at the moment. i hope this changes soon.

went to the woods and took a shot!!
find trees and woods kinda calm and sometimes really scary, but i have never taken pictures of it before:)
was wandering around just to get ideas, got a few but the mushrooms and flowers har to grow up first:))
but this came out kinda cool! completely different from me i know, but i love trying out new things and this is one of these shots lol:)
if you view the large version the details came out quite nice, and i tried to pop the little greenery that was there.
well well, hopefully tonight i will get out and try out my new 10 stop filter, tried it on our balcony, but it is so much light here during the day AND night that when i tried a 30 sec exposure at f22, the sky was blown out!! but i have a few ideas with some building and moving clouds:)) will see what i do:))
anyways, thanks alot for stopping by leaving comments and faves:)) much appreciated.))
take care everyone.))
Somehow, I think this would've been better if I'd kept it black and white, rather than trying to find the perfect ball to highlight in colour. In the end I decided on having two of them instead of just one, kind of a vague attempt at some Picasso-esque abstract effect, but I'm not convinced by it personally. The soft glow on stark black-and-white was probably the way to go with this one.

"What is it all about?"
People ask us about GIG, about Paul Jaisini, about invisible art--what are we or what is it--but we opted not to talk about it or ourselves ever since its inception three decades ago. We prefer that people do the proverbial legwork of finding out themselves because...people these days are smart enough and can figure things out for themselves without us needing to spell anything out or shoving any specific knowledge down your throats. It should be people's own decision to make whether they want to know about it or not. We just give a name or vague caption, that's it, and let others do the rest. There are many names of things I hear that I don't care to know about. Who am I to tell you what you should or should not know. You can decide that for yourself just fine. In our philosophy, art is about discovery, enigma, uncertainty, puzzles, mind games, WTFs...like unearthing bones and discovering new, unknown species, for instance. One could consider GIG to be an artistic form of archaeology, particularly the ideas behind it, the philosophy that drives it. There are bones a-plenty to be dug up in the GIG-verse...whether you want to get your hands dirty is all up to you. And that's what it's all about.

An exceedingly rare, unicorn actually, black & white 1967 Polaroid photograph of the earth, taken by the Department of Defense Gravity Experiment (DODGE) satellite. I’m certain this was taken from/off a monitor at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL), possibly within the Satellite Communications Facility (SCF), where it was maybe received.
Despite being in black & white, i.e. taken through a single filter, the photograph's field of view, in addition to a subsequently linked image, confirms it to have been taken by the “22° - FIELD COLOR CAMERA”. See page 3 at the following:
www.jhuapl.edu/Content/techdigest/pdf/APL-V06-N05/APL-06-...
Credit: JHUAPL website
The barrel/mast of the satellite is within the camera’s field of view, highlighted by the crescent-like illumination of it by the sun.
Although not well defined in this, what I assume to be raw image, based on other processed images, the African continent occupies the upper right-hand quadrant of the earth’s disk. The lowest portion of the spherical color target/chart being at Turkey’s southern shores on the Mediterranean Sea.
4.25” x ~7.5” (at its maximum dimension). Actual image size is 3.5” x 4.5”. You can see where the required, hand-applied glossy/protective ‘print coater’ ends. I can almost smell the pungent acidic aroma…brings back fond memories of a simpler time.
The following wonderful site confirms the ‘originality’ of the photograph, with the manufacturing code of F709K5B on the verso breaking out to July 1967. So it was fresh film in the camera:

Interestingly, several different photographs taken by the satellite have been labeled as the “first color photo taken of the earth.” A few:
Note some similarity in cloud patterns. So possibly, the photographs were taken within a day or so of each other:

And then, from the Johns Hopkins University News-Letter website:
www.jhunewsletter.com/article/2019/09/apl-took-first-colo...
So, which is it?
Although not claimed to be the first, at least not on the cover, a nearly identical cloud pattern would indicate it’s from the same day, with the satellite apparently having rotated some between the photographs:

Then there’s these unscrupulous SOBs. As expected, claimed to be the FIRST...from 1971. Greedy clueless bastards. Ironically though, it may be the exact same photograph. In fact, you can clearly see where the multiple (three) images of the spherical color target/chart have been ‘photoshopped’ from the image, which coincides with where it is in the Polaroid. They do at least acknowledge the image has been ‘enhanced’:

Wonderful & amusing anecdotal information associated with the DODGE image at the following:

Launched 1 July 1967, aboard a Titan III-C, the United States Navy's DODGE satellite was primarily intended to explore gravity-gradient stabilization at near-geosynchronous altitude. DODGE carried 10 booms that were radio-commanded to extend or retract along three different axes. Data from in-orbit experiments provided fundamental constants for use in controlling future high-altitude spacecraft. DODGE also carried a number of commandable magnetic-damping devices and two TV cameras to determine satellite alignment. One of the cameras also provided the first color pictures of the full Earth.

Also:
“The DODGE (Department of Defense Gravity Experiment) satellite was orbited primarily to study a number of advanced biaxial and triaxial gravity-gradient stabilization techniques at near-synchronous altitudes. Secondary objectives included obtaining measurements of the earth's magnetic field at near-synchronous altitudes and black-and-white and color TV photography of the entire earth disk. DODGE was launched as part of a multiple DOD satellite payload that included DATS 1, LES 5, and IDCSP 16, 17, and 18. The satellite was in the form of an octagonal aluminum shell with a truncated pyramid at the top and a 25.4-cm-diameter cylindrical mast extending 1.57 m from the satellite base. The satellite body was 2.41 m long and 1.22 m in diameter. A total of 10 knobbed booms were carried on board. Upon radio command, these booms could be independently extended or retracted along three axes to various limits out to 45.75 m. The cylindrical mast housed a 4.6-m boom that extended through the end of the mast, two 15.25-m-long damper booms that extended in the x-y plane, and triaxial vector magnetometer sensors. The remaining seven booms were contained in the satellite body along with a two-camera (one color and one black-and-white) vidicon camera system. The command system consisted of a dual command receiver, dual command logic, and power switching circuitry. The telemetry system included two directional antennas mounted on the mast, two 38-channel commutators for housekeeping data, and a dual transmitter system that transmitted analog data at a frequency of 240 MHz and TV data at 136.8 MHz. The satellite was successfully stabilized 12 days after launch by means of the gravity-gradient booms and libration dampening systems. It was oriented with its base and mast directed toward the center of the earth's disk. The mission was a success and proved the feasibility of achieving triaxial gravity-gradient stabilization at synchronous altitudes using passive and semipassive techniques. The satellite operated for over 3 yr and took thousands of black-and-white and color pictures of the earth. Early in 1971, problems with the batteries on board limited operation to only solar acquisition periods. The satellite was placed in an operational off mode in early 1971.”

An exceedingly rare probable/possible Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) produced/issued photograph of the earth, taken by the JHU/APL Department of Defense Gravity Experiment (DODGE) satellite.
I’m certain this photograph was meant for internal distribution & consumption. I haven’t seen more than maybe three different color photographs taken by the satellite, one of which was the first full-disk color image of the earth.
Thankfully & frankly - long overdue - JHU/APL posted the following content, which was not available when I first posted my below linked photograph:

Further/more specifically, per Fig. 1, despite the ‘picture characteristics’ depicted, I think this is a cropped image taken by the “60° - FIELD B & W CAMERA”. Again, with only several DODGE images to base my ignorant supposition, none showed the mast structure to this degree…along with what looks like one of the extended damper booms across the lower left corner of the image. That, along with it being black & white might support such. Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if the historic color photographs released to the press were also cropped for ‘prime time’.

so I jammed as many boxes as I could onto my new APC-ish truck for LMG, and my troops will not be running out of HK416 mags any time soon.
if you're added, I need your help with trucks.
Quick little Sunday morning hit. Back to repainting my new house now, not as much fun but has to be done.
