More and more of the St. Lawrence River is freezing over. Was able to reach a section of open water with broken ice due to high winds the day before. A lovely sunset under clouds with snow on the forecast soon. Also, ongoing below freezing temperatures will create more ice. A closer view below...

Colour me your colour, baby

Colour me your car

Colour me your colour, darling

I know who you are

Come up off your colour chart

I know where you're comin' from

Call me (call me) on the line

Call me, call me any, anytime

Call me (call me) my love

You can call me any day or night

Call me

Cover me with kisses, baby

Cover me with love

Roll me in designer sheets

I'll never get enough

Emotions come, I don't know why

Cover up love's alibi

Call me (call me) on the line

Call me, call me any, anytime

Call me (call me) oh my love

When you're ready we can share the wine

Call me

Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo, he speaks the languages of love

Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo, amore, chiamami, chiamami

Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo, appelle-moi mon cherie, appelle-moi

Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any way

Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any day-ay

Call me (call me) my love

Call me, call me any, anytime

Call me (call me) for a ride

Call me, call me for some overtime

Call me (call me) my love

Call me, call me in a sweet design

Call me (call me), call me for your lover's lover's alibi

Call me (call me) on the line

Call me, call me any, anytime

Call me (call me)

Oh, call me, oo-hoo-hah

Call me (call me) my love

Call me, call me any, anytime

Have you ever wondered why ghosts are depicted as looking like people with sheets draped over them? Perhaps because people sometimes do throw sheets over their heads and mock the dead by pretending to be ghosts. I don’t know that I believe in ghosts. I suspect that we are so tied to our bodies that when our bodies fail that whatever is left (if anything) is too fragile to make its self known. Perhaps the prototypic ghost shape represents some other phenomena.

A member of my immediate family is something of an amateur ghost hunter. He shared with me a video he took of phenomena that looks something like a traditional ghost. Less so a man with a sheet over his head than a source of glowing energy like an elongated jelly fish. If you wish to see the video and judge for yourself, you may watch it here:

Abandoned factory for sheet and plumb goods, founded in 1857 and out of operation since 1976. Demolition began 2022.

Always a pleasure to have a nice walk near a conservatory and being shit on by a music-loving bird

Constructed on a fence at the Merced National Wildlife Refuge. These non-sticky webs are designed to entangle or stop flying prey in the upper portion, after which the prey often falls onto the lower "sheet" where the spider awaits. Notice the loose curved threads strung between the stiff vertical strands. This web was about 6" long. Quite a piece of engineering!

1957 BMW 507 vent. Superb aluminum sheet metal, and very very superb sports car. BMW had planned to sell thousands in the US, they ended handmaking 252 cars over 2 and 1/2 years total. They just cost too much, over $11,000 at one point......a pity

Over the past decade one of the common advices given to aspiring photographers is to explore various of photographic themes from which they may start developing their own style. Style, so I believe, is first and foremost the reflection of the photographer’s own personality combined with his/her favored theme/subject and her preferred technique(s) of execution. It’s good advise even though slightly inadequate.

I have realized this couple of months ago when my work was criticized as “mirroring the reality”. Indeed, simply just. Behind the bland words and the euphemistic praises the critique is not very pleasant to read, however it was probably one of the most insightful critique I ever received. It hallowed me to deepen the engagement with my subjects, not in order to capture photographs but to make pictures and even tableaux.

So let’s start with a ‘blank sheet’

Cotton bed linen in a lovely old French Armoire we found a few years ago. I was carried away by the need to photograph something for Macro Mondays, Cotton, but kind of forgot it needed to be less than 3" so now I am going to have to think again....

I'm trying to work out a way to use Fomapan 400 as a Kallitype negative, but it's proving difficult to get it to work as I want with Pyro developers. With Pyrocat HD it produces lots of density but higher values are all mashed together into a flat mess. I think I will give up and stick with FP4 for making Kallitype negs.

This is the second of two identically exposed sheets of Fomapan 400, this one developed in home made Mytol, an Xtol ascorbate clone.
