PRINTING BY HAND
View allAll Photos Tagged printing
When printing was as much an art form as a technology.
Or, the day the people at the Print Shop at History San José set me and my camera loose in their type storage cabinets.
Having had some experience with off-set printing in the past, it was interesting to see how they used to do it.

The McDermott Motors Building (seen in the photograph above) was built in 1928, and designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style by noted Waco architect Milton Scott. The building has served as an upscale automobile dealership, a National Guard Armory, and an assembly plant for warplanes during World War II. The building also embodies a method of construction and an architectural style that are distinctive of an era, reflecting the community, its economic climate and progress. As McDermott Motors (opened as a new building on November 1, 1928), Fort Fiske Wright (leased from McDermott in 1931 as the National Guard Armory until all units were activated for WWII in 1941 and named for a revered local officer who had died a hero's death on the battlefields of France during the Great War, and North American Aviation (leased in 1943 to aid in production of the B-24 "Liberator", sometimes known not so affectionately as the "Flying Boxcar", making it the site of one of Waco's most significant contributions to the country's industrial war machine), activities at this site contributed substantially to the commercial and military history of this area of Waco, Texas.
After the most noteable tenants as described above, this building was once again used as an automobile dealership selling Plymouths and DeSotos, Hill Printing and Stationery which kept arge printing presses and bookbinders upstairs while maintaining a showroom of
office supplies and commercial furniture downstairs, and a brief period as an outlet for unclaimed and damaged freight after the very destructive tornado of 1953. McDermott's building then languished vacant for nearly 20 years until it was finally sold to Homer Owen who soon opened "Rhema The Way", which manufactured and distributed 'inspirational gift items' for gift shops, department stores and religious bookstores. This business remained in the building through a couple of ownership's until 1988 when it became Caritas of Waco, a new local second-hand store. During the night of April 10, 2000, a very destructive fire engulfed the thrift shop and ended its time in the building. Since that time (2001), the building underwent renovation and today serves as the home of Hole in the Wall, a full-service printing, apparel and marketing company.
The McDermott Motors Building was nominated for and listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on January 14, 2004 under criterion A in the areas of Commerce and Military, and under criterion C in the area of Architecture, at the local level of significance. All of the information above (and much more) was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration that can be viewed here:

GLLX #3001, the only locomotive to ever wear this version of Marquette Rail paint, leads sister GLLX #3002 south along CSX's Grand Rapids Terminal sub in September of 2007. A few years later, a major track rehab project would eradicate the weeds through here. GLLX 3001 is still on the MQT roster, in orange paint as MQT #3389. 3002 and 3003 are currently working over on the Huron & Eastern.

This week's episode of the Toy Photographers Podcast is all about printing! I spoke with Shelly Corbett and Kristina Alexanderson about not only how, but why you should print your photos. You can check out our conversation here.
"A 1969 station concept. The station was to rotate on its central axis to produce artificial gravity. The majority of early space station concepts created artificial gravity one way or another in order to simulate a more natural or familiar environment for the health of the astronauts. After returning from a micro-gravity environment, astronauts find their muscles weak because they have not been using them. Long-term exposure to micro-gravity could generate long-term health problems for astronauts who do not utilize their muscles. This is why there are exercise machines on space shuttles and on the International Space Station. It was to be assembled on-orbit from spent Apollo program stages."
Obviously, the above is a relatively contemporary ‘composition’ and surprisingly okay. I wonder what the original was though. Although this isn’t, some other original printings must’ve been captioned…maybe.
The approaching ferry? capsule looks like an Apollo Command Module with a Mercury Recovery Compartment ‘appendage’. The space station actually appears to have the same spacecraft docked at both ends. In fact, the one on the right looks to be undocked. And I’m guessing the ring of ‘lights’, near the base of each are windows/portholes. If so, they’re good-sized craft.
This has long been an oft-reproduced & iconic rotating space station concept. I’ve always loved it…other than those lame motion/movement lines.
Thanks to James Vaughan’s posting (linked to below), this is a GAEC design/proposal, which helped to confirm that it’s the work of Craig Kavafes. A WIN!!! 👍👍👍
This, the following linked designs & my other linked Flickr photo below - based on the photo identification number - look to have been part of the same family/series of contractor concepts, proposals, etc., solicited/entertained by NASA ca. 1969:

In fact and in confirmation of such; in January - February 1969, NASA Administrator Thomas O. Paine oversaw the creation of a Space Station Task Force, a Space Station Steering Group, and an independent Space Station Review Group. These bodies prepared a Phase B Space Station Study Statement of Work (SOW), which NASA released to industry on 19 April 1969. So, I'm pretty sure these works are some of the responses/submittals to that SOW.
"The SOW solicited proposals to study a 12-man Space Station, the design of which would eventually serve as a building block for a 100-man Earth-orbital Space Base. The 12-man Station was to reach orbit on a Saturn V rocket in 1975 and to remain in operation for 10 years...
Grumman, North American Rockwell (NAR), and McDonnell Douglas Aerospace Company (MDAC) submitted proposals in response to the SOW."

Komplex,modern,besonders,stimmungsvoll
Diese 4 Worte beschreiben das von Saal Digital GmbH hergestellte Wandbild Alu Dibond Butlerfinish sehr treffend. Nachdem ich im vergangen Winter schon ein „normales“ Alu Dibond Wandbild testen durfte bekam nun ein anderes Bild aus meiner Kamera die Ehre, an der Wand hängen zu dürfen.
Wie üblich war der Service von Saal Digital GmbH hervorragend. Mittels ICC-Profil zuhause ausgerichtet, in der Bestellsoftware schnell und übersichtlich bestellt und zwei Tage später sicher verpackt in den Händen halten. Eine Geschwindigkeit und Zuverlässigkeit die seinesgleichen sucht.
Verarbeitungsqualität ebenfalls hervorragend. Macken oder Fehler sucht man vergebens.
Nun zu dem Stil Butlerfinish.
Butlerfinish zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass alle sehr hellen Bereiche nicht geruckt werden,sondern das darunter liegende gebürstete Aluminium durchscheint. Um dies auszutesten, wählte ich ein Bild mit vielen hellen bis sehr hellen Bereichen aus, sodass nun gut 2/3 des Bildes Aluminium sind. Ein Look, der mir sehr gut gefällt und das Bild gleich interessanter macht.
Allerdings gibt es auch einiges zu beachten.
1.Aluminium ist dunkler als weiß
Ein Fakt, der die Bildauswahl und Bildgestaltung sehr schwierig macht. Ein Bild das vorher sehr hell ist, ist nun nur noch Mittelmäßig hell im Normalfall. Aber eben nicht immer. Und das führt zum zweiten Punkt.
2.Ort der Aufhängung
Bei dem Ort der Aufhängung sollte man beachten, dass das Aluminium von der Seite kommende Lichtquellen auf die andere Seite reflektieren wird. Man sollte sich also tendenziell einen Ort aussuchen,wo diese Reflexionen auch sichtbar werden,da Sie das Butlerfinish ausmachen. Mittels Beleuchtung lässt sich ein bisschen mit den Reflexen spielen.
Meiner Meinung tut nach jeder Lichtreflex dem Bild gut und lässt es, mit all seinen Farben erstrahlen was für eine einzigartige warme Stimmung sorgt. Das Gegenteil ist im Schatten aber auch schnell der Fall. Womit wir auch schon beim nächsten Punkt wären.
3.Farben
Man sollte für das Butlerfinish nicht nur ein Kontrastreiches Bild mit hellen Bereichen aussuchen sondern auch zwischen schwarz-weiß und prägnanten Farben wählen. Dies wirken bei dem Bildstil am besten.
4.Motive
Modern. Mit diesem Wort habe ich das Butlerfinish beschrieben. Dies sollte man auch beim Motiv beachten. Ich würde hier nicht empfehlen das Gruppenbild von der Geburtstagsfeier der Großeltern zu wählen. Stattdessen sollte man eher etwas abstraktes, technisches / metallartiges oder modernes wählen. Wobei der künstlerischen Freiheit natürlich keine Grenzen gesetzt werden sollten
Insgesamt ist das Butlerfinish damit um einiges komplizierter aber auch besonderer als das Normale Alu Dibond. Bei Letzterem kann man nahezu keinen Fehler machen. Jedes Motiv passt und ist am Ende auf der Wand auch genauso wie auf dem Computer. Allerdings sehe ich darin keineswegs einen Nachteil für das Butlerfinish sondern eher eine Chance. Eine Chance Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen, Stimmungen zu erzeugen und der Charakter des Bildes zu unterstreichen und zu formen. Eine Chance noch nach der Bildbearbeitung an dem fertigen Ausdruck kreativ zu werden und sein gesamtes Potential herauszukitzeln.
Ich persönlich kann das Alu Dibond Butlerfinish all denen wärmstens empfehlen, die auf der Suche nach etwas besonderem und offen für Überraschungen sind,da das Bild garantiert anderes ist als man es je vorher gesehen hat.

I took this on Sunday in St Albans before the clouds came back over. There is a fence there, but I love the back of these houses - especially with those chimneys and blue sky. Grotty weather here again now but it was lovely to have dry weather, blue sky and sunshine for a while.
Happy Fenced Friday peeps - will catch up with comments asap. Just been busy with helping out ex-colleagues with Ofsted visits, running book group evenings, organising more printing, and most importantly, celebrating my hubby's birthday :)

It's always a bit challenging to photograph the masks at dawn especially for one like me who only shoots with ambient light. But the results are often satisfying when everything works out on my favor.
