Fuji X-E2 plus Helios 44M-7 at F11. I tend to think that I learn best (most thorough, that is) when I have to struggle with the matter. If the matter in hand does not put up resistance to understanding, there is nothing to learn. Can this relationship be transferred to photography? If it can, are those photos best where the photographer had to struggle with the resistance of the subject matter? Would this then exclude the "snapshot" - something that (quite unintentionally) might turn out as pretty good. It is at this stage that the issue of objectification pops up. Turning something or someone into a camera object means that photographers force their will upon a subject - breaking its resistance. Photography then becomes a oneway street and there is no communication or dialogue between photographer and subject. The result could be sentimental, even Kitsch, the proliferation of cliches and the like. Should we then apply a golden rule to photography, namely to treat our subject the same way we ourselves would like to be treated?

I made the faces from clay & cast them in plaster. They were burnt black in the studio fire in 2019, so I left them outside in the rain which has cleaned them up nicely.

I couldn't think of anything to draw.I should be ashamed of myself of course cause there's plenty to draw.Here are a few examples:-)
Es el nacimiento del río Lison, ubicado en la comuna de Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne en el departamento de Doubs, Francia.
Blossoms from a tree are falling on the sidewalk in a neighbor's yard in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max set to Raw and Macro. Edited in Lightroom Classic.
Three views of a peculiar connector socket... and each of those evokes something totally different to me, as the titles of the three variants can attest. And it was not even intentional at the time of the shooting. 😇
The socket consists of a matrix of 6x6 (minus the ones in the corners, so 32 in total) golden plated contacts, whose directions are alternating at 90° of each other for each row, so as to guarantee an optimal robustness of the connection, probably. The dimension of the square matrix is 4x4cm, so it complies ideally with the 3" rule of the Macro Mondays group.
For the context, this socket is part of an old electrical device. I salvaged it from an electronic waste collecting point, out of curiosity, as It didn't look like anything I had seen before. With this week's "Socket" topic, it became obvious that I could finally make good use of the "thing". Entering in a search engine some reference number I found on the object, I could trace its origin as being a "communication test device" being used by the army.
Having opened it, I was impressed by the thoughtful engineering that went into its conception. Now that the object played its role a last time, I happily returned it to the electronic junk collection point, albeit as a heap of dissembled parts. 😊
I found this withered anemone branch last year while cleaning up the garden and thought it made a good subject for stacking. At that time I was very busy trying out different approaches to stacking. I have now arrived at a method that gives me the best results. This was one of my first pictures with it.

J'avais comme objectif de photographier des phoques cette année et pour une première je dois dire que j'ai été pas mal gâté!
True love is like a pair of socks:
you gotta have two and they've gotta match.
(Erich Fromm)
On November 28, last year, my twin daughter Saskia gave birth to a son named Max.... these socks belong to him.
And exactly 10 weeks earlier, on September 19, my other twin daughter (Jasmien) also gave birth to a son; his name is Lio (pronounced as Leo in English). 💕
Smile on Saturday! :-) - Socks

In the ASTRA National Museum Complex, Sibiu, Romania
The Romanian cultural association ASTRA decided in 1897 to establish a museum of Romanian civilization as a "shelter for keeping the past". The "ASTRA" Museum of Traditional Folk Civilization (Romanian: Muzeul Civilizaţiei Populare Tradiţionale "ASTRA") is located in the Dumbrava Forest, 3 km south of Sibiu. Occupying an area of 0.96 square kilometers, it is the largest open-air museum in Romania and one of the largest in Central and Eastern Europe. It contains houses and workshops of the traditional Romanian folk culture from the pre-industrial era. Over 300 houses and other buildings are situated in the forest around two artificial lakes with over 10 km of walkways between them.
The exhibits are organized into six thematic groups: food production and animal husbandry; production of raw materials; means of transportation; manufacture of household objects; public buildings; an exposition of monumental sculpture. (Wikipedia)
