Persistence. Unending. Regardless of the miniscule, nay, seemingly non-existent results. The honey bee, tiny as it is produces honey measured in hundreds of thousands of metric tonnes. But does the individual bee ever think of this when out and about doing what it was created to do? Maybe I should have that mindset. Just focus on what I need to do persistently. Regardless of the outcomes or lack thereof. Lessons from nature.

They flash on and off at high speed, so when waved about produce a message.
This new version has a little switch on the breadboard, when pressed it flashes the message once. This allows me to just have the message go by on the correct swing direction, and also makes it a LOT easier to get a good photograph.
I'm looking at using an accelerometer to do the same, but it would be able to automatically detect direction and speed and hopefully compensate to get a 'perfect' display.
I paid £1.50 for this Kodak 44a camera in a boot sale last week. I'd picked it up and examined it several weeks previously, and was tempted to buy it, as although I already have one of these, this one had a partly used film in it. I put it down again, but when it was still there later in the season, I decided to rescue it. It takes 12 square format photos on a roll of 127 film, the film in it was on exposure 5. I decided to finish it off and process it, though was not expecting to get anything out of it. I don't know how old the film was, I didn't even know until I removed it whether it was colour or black and white. It turned out to be a colour Agfa film, and I developed it in my Tetenal C41 kit, giving it longer than usual to try to compensate for its age. When I looked at the film it seemed completely blank, but I hung it up to dry anyway, as an old roll of film can come in useful at times. Once it was dry, I could see there were very faint traces of images on it, at least on the portion that I had shot, there was nothing on the first five frames, reflecting the fact that an old latent image is less stable than a recently exposed image.
After scanning and doing some fairly radical adjustments in photoshop, I was able to squeeze some images out of a couple of the shots that I took.
Persistence and the good fortune to be able to travel widely in the UK and abroad will ensure that I remain a major contributor to CRWDP and similar sites. Today, I am posting five pictures from the Brighton area.

Taken in week 62a of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:
The Vivitar PN2011 is a cheap point-and-shoot 35mm camera with a retractable mask to give a panoramic format. I loaded it with a roll of Kodak P3200 Tmax black and white negative film, in order to be able to use it in the rather dull late winter weather. In retrospect this was a bad idea, as the light leaks that often occur in toy cameras were made much more obvious by the very fast film, and also the grain is much more pronounced than I had expected.
The film was developed in Ilfosol 3 at 1:14 dilution and 24 deg C for 14 minutes.

The first year is documented in this book:
After two restful days at the Wyoming High Country Lodge we circled back to Devil's Tower, also known as Bear's Den or Bear's Tipi, in northeastern Wyoming. It was very cloudy and wet, but in all very awe inspiring.
this version dramatically altered from the original, has been printed, approx. 8 x 10, on velvet fine art paper, Epson R3000. no idea who these people were or why they arranged themselves in this order.

Taking one of my photos from the Volcano in Hawaii I decided to make one of those motivation posters. I was inspired that anything could grow on top of the Volcano with all the gases and desolate terrain. This little guy popped right through the rocks and was growing strong.

Quotation by George Herbert.
Sometimes I wonder why there are so many words for something...things, that are one and the same. To me anyways. I come from a long line of stubborn people. They are smarter though. They understand riddles better than me.
And they will probably say Persistence is the act of (being) persevering. As for stubbornness...that's you. And the mule.
Don't you just love family. By the way, I'm a goat. Not the donkey's cousin, thank you.
...heheheheh!
“Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.”
Hal Borland quotes
At one point, this is an appropriate word to describe a persons interest. Like a grass which is being stepped and trampled, but the next morning it is back again...

Give a growing thing a foothold in a stone wall and watch out.
I was really excited about this photo when I took it, but when I got home to load it onto the computer, the image file was nowhere to be found on the memory card. I was heart broken. Months later, I came across a file-rescue program and was able to pull the image off the card. Lucky me.
