Heather Jean absolutely hates cold weather - like anything less than 70 degrees. I was very surprised when she decided to shoot outdoors in 20 degree weather - but she rocked it. She initially started with a gorgeous outfit, froze, left for home then showed back up in a very fashionable winter outfit - and with her dog. Fun shoot and it was great to actually thaw out. We did this shoot the day after Christmas 2021 in the Star River Walk Park.
I am starting a »365-days-project« right now ... Waaaaahhhhhh ;-)
I am very excited if I will make it ...
Just wanna try to do a little »self therapy« to find back to my passion – photographing – and see the small things in life, which can be so beautiful. Finding back to myself and to enjoying life after some things went wrong in the last time.
Okay. LET'S GO!

I went out and took a quick shot of the fresh layer of snow before bed. It is still snowing but it might all be gone later in the afternoon...

I interviewed Elizabeth Start , who created the amazing gown above. (This is not Urban Woodswalker's creation)
Where did you specifically get all those tabs? (very close to 7,000 pull tabs used)
"Tabs were accumulated through friends, family and here at the office. Even the Glenview Chamber of Commerce contributed."
How many yards of blue ribbon were used, and where did you get all that?
"The ribbon was one of the non-used items that I had to use. " (I think she means not reused but bought new in a store)
"The ribbon, thread and zipper all were purchased. The ribbon was on sale for 25 cents a spool at Michaels. I believe that each spool had 15 yards and I used about 12 spools (forgot to keep track of how much ribbon was used). I guess this dress cost about $10 to make with all the materials I had to buy."
What technique was used to make the dress?
"I am pretty sure its not knitted, or crocheted. I would consider the technique I used more of a weaving technique. I used a large darning needle to weave the ribbon through the tabs."
Have you ever worked with tabs before? If not, how did you come to make this amazing dress with nearly 7,000 tabs?
" I used pop tabs for the trashy fashion show the year before, but on a much smaller scale. I made a Coca-Cola dress using the tabs, old Tyvek envelopes and the boxes from cases of Coke. The tabs were used as an insert into the front of the dress. I have also made a few belts."

As with other Soviet-era rangefinders, the shutter speed selector rotates when the shutter is released, and should not be changed until after the shutter has been cocked. If you change the shutter speed without cocking the shutter first, the setting pin can be broken when you advance the film and cock the shutter.
The Start is a very well made and interesting system SLR camera, and entirely mechanical. It was aimed at the professional market. At its era there is no other system camera in the Soviet Union.
It was often referred to as the "Russian Exakta". At that time Start was the only competition to the Exakta available within the Soviet Union and the Soviet-dominated part of Europe. It was at least in principle, the only other system camera, providing not only interchangeable lenses, but also finders and viewing screens.
Helios-44 58 mm f/2 is similar to the Zeiss Biotar. But unfortunately this is the Start system's only manufactured lens. There is an adapter for M39 screw mount Zenith lenses, but this was not an attractive option, as such lenses did not have automatic aperture system.

Brandon started reading the Harry Potter books when he was in third grade but gave up quickly on them. Now that he's going into sixth grade he has no problem going through each book. He just started book five and should finish all of them within the next couple of weeks. He hasn't watched any of the Harry Potter films yet. He's waiting to finish reading all of the books so his imagination isn't derailed by the movies.
Final 5 shots starts tomorrow.

This photo was a series of 3 HDR exposures while it was still fairly dark outside. The Sun started coming up behind a thunderstorm on the horizon. A few faint lightning strikes were captured in the exposures. When I merged the images, some incredible colors came through.

The White Corries
End of October and the clocks were going back… Bliss , an extra hour in bed…
However the first significant snows had hit Scotland’s Mountains and the forecast for Sunday was looking rather good…. Bags packed the night before and the alarm was set for 5.30am (well 6.30 body clock time!).
Feeling rather good when woken by the alarm (mainly due to the extra hour factor) I sprung out of bed and set about defrosting the car whilst making some porridge and getting set to go.
-3 degrees and the skies were clear as I headed north on the A9 aiming to meet Gerry at Choire Collie at a leisurely 0830 am. Arriving in unison we discovered out first problem of the day – finding a parking spot!! The place was heaving and it seemed a few cars had been there overnight judging by the frost on the windscreens. Subsequently we met a few people coming back down form the bothy after an adventurous evening.
Winter gear on for the first time this season and we were soon saying our hellos to the Wee Minister and not long after started heading up the slopes of Stob Coire Gaibhre. The snow line was reached and the landscape turned white with the monochrome landscape contrasting the bright blue skies. What a day it was turning out to be. After stopping for a small time on Gaibhre, we were soon heading up the 15th highest mountain in Scotland. The snow was laying a few inches deep and the rime was plastering the boulders. From our viewpoint the Grey Corries lay before us with The Aonachs and Ben Nevis providing a suitable back drop.
The slight breeze that had greeted us on Claurigh was now disappearing and the sun was beating down. I had to delayer and was soon striding along the ridge in my base layer, felt more like the Alps than Scotland! Days like these live long in the memory and we just took our time enjoying the views as we made our way along the ridge. To the south the great mountains of The Mamores, Glencoe and beyond were all instantly recognisable. Eventually we reached our final peak of the day – Stob Coire Easein and decided to leave Choinnich Mor for another day, a great excuse to return!
The day wasn’t over yet though as we still had a fair bit of walking to do. We had managed to park at the parking spots nearer the gate so decided to take the old tram line back to the car.
A nice route although one of the burn cross resulted in me slipping and face planting the rocks – I was thirst anyway so took the opportunity to have a wee drink
What a grand day
Franz Radziwill, Strohhausen 1895 - Wilhelmshaven 1983
Das rote Flugzeug / The red aircraft (1932)
Städel, Frankfurt
Dunkle, tiefhängende Wolken ziehen sich zusammen und bereiten ein Unwetter vor. Es wirkt, als wollten die mächtigen Gewitterwolken alles verschlingen, die Felder im Hintergrund, die Fabrik und auch das kleine Dorf. Konnte das rotlackierte Flugzeug auf der Landebahn gerade noch rechtzeitig den Boden erreichen? Oder muss es trotz des Unwetters starten? Die Gewitterwolken am Himmel und der Sensenmann auf dem Feld könnten Vorboten für den späteren Einsatz im Luftkrieg sein.
In den späten 1930er Jahren fügte Radziwill den Sensenmann auf dem Feld hinzu und überarbeitete das Gemälde im Bereich der bedrohlichen Wolken, so dass es durch den angedeuteten Totenschädel die unheilverkündende Wirkung erhielt, die es noch heute erzeugt.

Did you ever read one of those small tabloids that they leave on the tables in coffee shops for you to read while having your morning java. Well it just so happened I did and I came across this little Tid-Bit and of course, it got me to thinking once again.
A small boy looked up at his mommy and asked, Mama, do you know why God made us? Knowing that her son had his own explanation, she asked him, Do you know why? The little boy smiled and said, Oh that's easy! Because the people in the Bible were so bad, He wanted to start over.
When you think about it, it's easy to see how this little boy could come up with such a conclusion. When he listens to the Bible stories in Sunday school, he probably hears about Adam and Eve, who messed things up for all of us. He probably hears too, about Jonah, who wouldn't obey God and was swallowed up by a big fish. And then there is Judas, who betrayed Jesus for money and I'm sure there are many other stories as well.
The Bible is painfully realistic and definitely it is not a white-washed version of the history of God's people. In it's honest presentation of its characters, the Bible proves that we all need to be forgiven of our sins. The bad people of the Bible remind us that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
But there is good news in all of this, God did provide a way to start over. He sent Jesus, who died so that we could become new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17).
If anything is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. -- 2 Corinthians 5:17.
The Savior is waiting to save you,
And cleanse every sin-stain away;
By faith you can know full forgiveness
And be a new creation today! --Bosch
For a new start, ask God for a new heart.

Crash landing by the Luftwaffe, 1940s.
Thomas Marounek commented:
Italian Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 bomber, which was also used by the Luftwaffe starting in 1943.
These 2 did actually go for a bit of a drag before the C63 gave up and dropped back, quite fun to see while waiting for the bus.
