Ever wondered what Mars would look like if it becomes a tourist attraction? :)
This was taken en route to the sand dunes... a long stretch of nothingness on an empty road has a strangely calming effect on the mind.
If you own a Surface Pro 4 or a Surface Book, there is a good chance you are looking at picking up the Surface dock. The device, which will set you back $ 199, is not cheap but it does expand the functionality of your Surface quite a bit.
Earlier this week, I ordered two Dell...

I am in an exhibition at Cal Poly’s University Art Gallery "Beyond the Surface: The Photograph as Object", an exhibition curated by Aline Smithson from January 9 - January 31, 2020.

As the practice of photography moves farther away from the tactile process of winding film through a camera and long meditative hours spent in the wet darkroom, the contemporary digital photographer is now experiencing an entirely different relationship to the image. With the proliferation of digital capture, with Photoshop replacing the darkroom, and instantaneous digital printing at the push of a button, photographs are now equally a product of the mind and technology, with the ability for limitless reproduction.
In response to this loss of the evidence of the artist’s hand, a number of artists are reconsidering the potential of an image with a move towards making rather than taking photographs. By using vintage and contemporary photographs as a starting point, artists are creating physically layered works of art that result in a handmade one-of-a-kind object, expanding the notion of what we consider photographic art. The exhibition Beyond the Surface features a variety of interventions and investigations that include collage, sewing, cutting, weaving and embroidery, all interrogating the material qualities of the physical photograph as an attempt to recover the magic of the photograph-as-object. As artist Maria Font describes, “My hands intervene with each work manually, and through this intimate, performatic ritual, the embodiment of the photograph becomes the common ground where the familiar and the foreign meet, as an individual attempt to blur the lines between the internal and external spaces of the body. The construction of these mental maps evokes diverse psychological states and emotions with meanings that are in constant flux, never fixed, just like our identities.”
Artists in the exhibition work in two ways, using imagery that they have created in camera or by using found or familial vernacular photos. The image is then punctured, deconstructed, or cut apart and reborn as a work of art, separate from the original image. Many of the artists explore themes of growing up, family, and memory; others use contemporary imagery to consider self or culture. Artist Liz Steketee states, “I use my life and family as material for my work. By doing this, I am able to explore the complexity that exists in the everyday and the richness found in the mundane. Through the use of montage, collage, and purposeful juxtaposition of photographs, it is my intention to examine the “truth” in life.” Artist Joe Rudko cuts and reorganizes found photographs to “break the illusion of the pristine image and suggest a variety of interpretations it can have. Working with analog methods in a digital era places these snapshots in dialogue with the present moment.”
Revisiting photographs with an Exacto knife or sewing needle provides a new way of examining, organizing, and interacting with more than just the image on the page. This reconsideration opens the door to limitless possibilities of creation, inspiring us to look more deeply at the potential of photographic imagination.
From my bathroom. Took a lot of shots to get a few really decent ones, but once my timing was in sync with the drip it was OK.
Also, laying in the bath holding position to get the shot isn't anywhere near relaxing.
I quite like the limescale - I thought of cleaning it off, but then I figured that this was more "honest" (if that means anything to you!.?)

Frozen surface of the Ottawa River. Sometimes when it is extremely frozen people can skate. Also, you can see some people ice fishing.
This could be a scene shot from a low orbit over Mars or another planet. You can clearly see lots of impact craters, flow channels and great planes on the surface.
Well, it could have been a surface of a distant planet, but alas, it's just a bread crust.
I placed a loaf of freshly baked bread so that it's surface is parallel to the camera's focal plane to make sure everything is in focus. The light was provided by a single bare flash some distance away to the left. The light was just skimming the surface to accentuate the texture. And there you have it, an alien planet in the comfort of your own home. Eat that NASA (pun intended).
