Rust-capped caiques, funny looking birds!

"Without adventure civilization is in full decay" ~ Alfred North Whitehead

These are my recent black and white prints I have made from being in my photography class. I have had a little bit of trouble getting the prints to come out the way I wanted but I am getting the hang of it. I have realized it is nice to have a dark room to yourself without 5-6 other students holding you up. It is very important to have good fresh developing chemicals!

My critique is coming up on wednesday and I will be getting some feedback from my professor on things that I can change. :)

I have to pick a couple of prints to show.

Vatos Rust tapéta

Field workers at Njoro Agricultural Research Station in Kenya sowing wheat seed samples in international trials for screening for resistance to Ug99, the new and virulent strain of stem rust that emerged in Uganda in 1999. The station is part of the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI), which is working in partnership with CIMMYT to identify sources of resistance. Ug99 is already endemic in the area, making it possible to use Njoro as a testing ground for wheats from all over the world; thousands are planted annually as part of an ongoing screening and breeding effort. In 2008, when this photo was taken, the Njoro team worked with CIMMYT to test over 20,000 wheat lines from more than 15 countries for resistance to Ug99.

Even concrete bleeds

Just a rusted chain.

The grating to the West Wemyss Chapel Gardens was built in the late 16th century. Now used as the Wemyss Family private burial plot.

It looks like these could be the original metal bars used when the outside wall was built.

The gratings are well rusted and in some of the other arches are almost missing altogether.

At the entrance to the road heading up Sugarloaf Mountain, near Frederick, MD, was this...thingy. Don't know what it is, but it plays nicely off the fall colors.
