This came second in the current Found Objects Exhibition at the Decagon Gallery www.decagongallery.com/found-objects
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 am incredibly excited to invite you to my upcoming exhibition, "Escape the Flat," running this July and August at the Longstaff Memorial Gallery.
💡 The Concept: What if the image refused to remain flat?
This exhibition combines photography with three-dimensional elements. Frames open into physical space, images unfold beyond their edges, and familiar photographs transform into objects that occupy the gallery rather than simply hanging on its walls.
The works explore fragmentation, confinement, memory, and the desire to break free from imposed limits. Some images fracture into floating pieces, others extend beyond their frames, while portals, shadows, and sculptural elements blur the distinction between photograph, object, and environment.
Rather than presenting photography as a finished, static image, Escape the Flat invites viewers to experience it as something that can expand, transform, and escape its own dimensions.

I've added this one to the ~Old and Forgotten Images~ because this was the picture that made me think about resuming creative photography after so many years. Useless, no special info, just the pleasure of shooting a nice compo that was there and beckoned to me. Intentionally underprocessed, if that term exists...
Object: LBN 576 The Popped Balloon Nebula in Cassiopeia (November 2023)
LBN576 (aka The Popped Ballon Nebula) is a faint supernova remnant that lies in the constellation of Cassiopeia and is estimated to be 9780 light years from earth with a diameter of 98 lightyears and is roughly 10,000 years old.
The field also contains two small open star clusters NGB7788 & MGC7790 to the left of center.

NEW CHALLENGE: MIXMASTER CHALLENGE #75 - Chef: skagitrenee
CHEF skagitrenee wants us to focus on photographic work!
➤ Create your background from photographed flowers or flower parts.
➤ Your main focus should be a single organic element: botanical object or (non-human) animal.
➤ Include a repeating element, natural or not.
➤ Also a 3D-appearing geometric shape created by you (not photographed) using your own basic software, such as Photoshop or Gimp, but no pre-made or AI shapes.
➤ NO AI-prompted landscapes.
These two objects are emission nebulae that are about 7,500 light years from Earth. Also seen as a bright area near the lower left corner of this image is Fish Head Nebula (NGC896). The nebulae centers are ionized oxygen (O-III) and sulphur (S-II) gas while the outer fringes are ionzied hydrogen (Ha) gas. Each nebula spans about two degrees of our sky. The entire two-panel image spans about eight degrees on the diagonal. The stars in this image were captured as 30s RGB images while the nebulae where captured as 10m SHO images.

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.

Surprise road trip this weekend. I'll be tied up with family again for a while.
Happy "Smile on Saturday" with "objects taking pictures"!
... and thank you so much for your views, faves and comments!
Hice un difusor casero para flash. Prueba fotográfica con el difusor.
I made a DIY flash diffusor. Photo test with the diffusor.
I've finally moved to Japan and have ended my nearly three month "cameraless photography" experiment, and am reunited with the cameras I had left in Japan this summer. I'm not sure yet how that experiment will affect what I produce going forward. Significantly, near the very end of my hiatus I experienced a medical event that has affected my vision. The doctors said it's a common, age-related condition (posterior vitreous detachment) but it was nonetheless scary, and underscored for me how precious a thing it is to be able to see at all, let alone to be able to take and make pictures. Because of that, and the long break, I seem to be noticing beauty in very ordinary things. On that note, I return to Flickr with a series of objects from my home, cluttered as most Japanese homes are with generations of memorobilia with no apparent organization. It used to irritate me, but now I'm seeing something in it....
