I'm slowly building my film photo skills. Unhappy with the scan of my negatives I got from the camera store I decided to digitize the negatives a different way. I don't own a macro lens per se any more, but I have 3 macro filters that screw into some of my Lensbaby lenses. The only lens that makes sense to use (I think) is the Lensbaby Twist 60. Set to ƒ8 and considering the virtually flat surface to photograph I won't get the characteristic Petzval twisty background. The center of the lens is reasonably sharp and that's where it counts. The lower image is the result after I'd refined parts of the process. Makeshift with stuff I had around the house, but it works fine. The film was Fujifilm Superia X-tra 400. I feel good about my baby step forward today.

That's hot it looks like when it's stenciled. I always try to improve the design, I forgot to add some bridges to give it more stability…but still looks good.

It is hand cut. I am also using skinny caps for fine stencils.

Design is an idea that grows like a tree

and flies away like a bird

I had a great day today. I had a fair-size list of things that I wanted to get done today and managed to get them all (and a few others) done.

Onlookers often wonder why I put so much effort into some of the things I do. Sometimes I enjoy the process as much as I enjoy the finished product.

What you're seeing here is the slow-poaching method from David Chang's Momofuku. Essentially; slow-cooked in their shells, when cracked, are a perfectly poached egg with incredible textures and flavor.

I think eggs are so incredible. They are quite simple in appearance but are quite impressive when you start to break it down chemically.

When I get them right, the outer white is soft and creamy. The best part is the yolk when it becomes a gel. I find the yolk to be the best part about a cooked egg. When that golden yellow nucleus of of joy turns to gel and becomes spreadable, toast becomes a prized commodity.

The thing I like the best about this shot is how the water distorts the view of the eggs. In this case it actually makes them easier to see. That is what made me pick up my camera and get this shot.
