This, is the big bang, the end of reality as it is known and the beginning of something beautiful. An explosion of light and sound to create a new universe, a slur of space dust and dead stars and a celestial glow that halos every head.
This is it.
I am afraid and I am liberated and I am alive and I am awake and at 6 o'clock this morning I remembered what it all meant to me, this is my world, my work, what I create and display, it's my perspective, my mindset, what I see when I open my eyes in the morning,
this is everything.
And I am not scared of showing it to you and I am not going to dwindle away like a dead star, only here because my light left millions of years ago, I will exist in full, like a raging nebula threatening but never reaching the peak of its existence.
I will continue to grow and thrive and be.
And I will change, I swear that I will, always for the better.
Thank you for following on my tail as I soared through space like a comet, smacking meteors and planets on my way to this point in history, meeting my end, another space rock, my end and my beginning.
When I sat in the car with Cody on the way out this morning I said I wasn't sure what to write here, and he said I didn't need to write anything except,
"I'm done."
So here we are, I am a new galaxy, a young mess of planets sprawled out across a deep black,
a metamorphosis.
sooc :)

I'm still discovering old prints in my basement.
Snow scenes.
I'm really excited about these pictures. I saw these markings out in the field all by themselves, with no tracks around them. Weird! What could that have been? My best guess was that a large bird (maybe a Hawk) dropped down out of the sky and got a mouse.
After I got home I searched on images of bird wing prints in the snow and this is what they look like.
Neat!
Looks like in this one, it took several shots for the bird to get the mouse.

I think the local newspaper will be so impressed with my typesetting skills that I'm bound to get the job there as a Printing Press Operator.
Today WAH is visiting the group Hand Created Type as it was on this day in 1468 that German craftsman, inventor, and printer Johannes Gutenberg, whose printing press was considered a history-changing invention, died in Mainz.
I had a day full of classes and then brainstormed some ideas on my way home from campus. I have yet to use this canopy since my shoot with emily so I unwrapped it and headed out to the golf course for the first time in a long time. I had my camera under one arm and the canopy under the other and I ventured out to the furthest away point that the sun hits first when golden hour starts to sink in. I watched the shadows of the trees behind me stretch further and further down the hill in front of me as time passed. Sunlight and the way it moves across the landscape is one of the most inspiring things to me.
Also! It was a beautiful day today so many people were out and about, exercising and walking their pups. I am proud of myself because although lots of people passed while I was shooting, I kept going like they weren't even there. The light was too beautiful to risk losing over embarrassment and discomfort. Some people were polite, glancing and then continuing on their way. Some slowed down to stare. And all the while I toted my little canopy around the field, spreading it out, sprawling out on it, dragging it behind me, as if nothing else existed. It was a wonderful feeling.
Unfortunately, this fabric aka mosquito net, is made to trap bugs and trap bugs it did. I carried so many grasshoppers home with me after multiple shaking attempts wouldn't free them. I ended up spreading out the canopy on the sidewalk in front of our apartment and picking the bugs off one by one so they wouldn't be left to die in my closet. They were relocated from their homes but I am sure they won't be too upset.
I had a stressful morning and somehow the day blended into this glorious afternoon and I am so thankful for that.
Playing with the computer on how to make triptych out of the lumen prints I have made.
“I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of golden daffodils
Beside the lake beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”
― William Wordsworth, I Wander'd Lonely as a Cloud

"I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you
My love" - Ray Noble from the song The Very Thought of You
Macro Mondays and "Printed Word"
I was looking around the house for an old newspaper as I hadn't bought one for quite a while and I came across an edition of "Photography News" which is a free newspaper which can be picked up at certain outlets including Jessops which is still open in the nearby town of Horsham.
Once I had found it I started flicking through the pages to find a word/composition I liked. After locating a section with some words and a photo I noticed a paragraph containing photographic abbreviations and decided to make it a depth of field shot as these abbreviations all seemed to line up together.
4x5 negative contact printed on 5x7 Ilford MGFB Classic photographic paper. Ilford MG developer at usual concentration of 1:9.
Initial exposure for 7 secs (one second underexposed) with burning of center for one second. Development for 25 secs - 10 second water bath - re-exposure to light for two seconds - then development continued for 95 additional seconds. Stop, Fix, and Wash.
The finished print was photographed with the Nikon D850 and Nikkor 105mm/2.8D Macro lens. The WB was checked with a gray card, and there was no B&W conversion. There are minor adjustments to the Black and White points - otherwise, no global changes to contrast were made, and there was no local dodging and burning.
Solarization, as rediscovered and practiced by Man Ray and Lee Miller, is a technique in which the partially developed positive image is briefly re-exposed to light, leading to interesting effects which include a partial reversal of tonality, particularly in the light tones (which contain less exposed silver halide.) Strong black or white "Mackie" lines may occur at borders between areas of high contrast.
The Sabattier effect, discovered in 1862, is similar but is said to have been produced in photo prints only partially developed, as opposed to the full development practiced by Man Ray. Solarization of negative film is a somewhat different process in which very long exposures lead to complete tone reversal.
This project (and it was a project...) arose from a discussion at the Brooklin, Maine Camera Club. Thanks to Stephen Greenberg and Russell Kaye.
