the last of the Polaroid transfers :( getting more and more tempted to buy a Daylab

 

i took a terrific Polaroid emulsion lift and transfer class last weekend.

 

i've got a lot to learn, and my fingers weren't too nimble for doing all of these, but here they are nonetheless

"Sad or happy, we can survive." - by Kai Somporn Tirin, Founder of The Lounge Hair Salon, Bangkok.

Richard Harvey UK threw a challenge at me recently. In his words

 

"Let me tempt you with Still Life. Grab some onions or other fruit/vegetables. Find a dark corner, experiment with lighting, shoot shoot shoot!

Your wife will think you’re crazy, but…..surely that’s not a new thing?"

 

Since the wife wasn't home to pass judgment I thought I'd give it a go.

 

I passed on the fruit/veg and instead grabbed this concrete statuary piece that we keep in the garden as a remembrance of all the dogs that have passed through our doors. Went into the darkest room in the house and shot, shot, shot!

 

Out of all the shots I took this one spoke to me the most. The lighting is just a StreamLight flashlight (torch for Richard Harvey UK and my UK compadres) that I positioned all around the room.

 

Now, is this still life? Since it's a statue it certainly fits the still bill. Is there a story? Sure, if you've read this far you'll know there's a story behind the piece. Was it enjoyable? Yes, it was. Pretty interesting to see how this little light played with the statuette. Was I comfortable. Absolutely not, I truly felt a bit silly taking multiple shots of the same thing. Will I continue down the Still Life path? If I can convince the wife I'm not crazy taking photos of fruity baskets and concrete statues then yes!

 

Thanks. Richard Harvey UK for throwing this at me. I appreciate the challenge to step out of my proverbial box and try something new.

 

BTW, this is SOOC the camera except for some crop with GIMP.

In March 2018, my wife and I decided to take a brief tour through the American Southwest, hitting, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. We visited a fair number of National and State parks but the highlight of our tour was Waterhole Canyon. We didn't intend to go there; I wanted to go to Antelope Canyons but the owners (the Navajo Nation) really jacked up the prices (I think it was $50/person) and forced you to stay with a group. They also muddled the photography permit process and made it very inconvenient, illogical, and pricey. Because of this we opted for Waterhole Canyon. Getting a permit for this area was also a challenge - mostly finding the little shack. Once we got the permit we were happy hikers.

 

We pretty much had the canyon to ourselves. At several points we were tempted to turn around but we decided to go on for a few more minutes. Good choice. The canyon has some wide open spaces and then narrows to very tight spaces. It was amazing to see the changes in rock color based on the lighting. I think we spent about three full hours exploring and taking a bunch of photos.

 

PS - it seems like the Canyon is now private property and you need to take a guided tour. I'm glad we hit it when we did.

This one's for those days where you've bitten in to the forbidden fruit, or taken the poisoned apple, just because you were tempted in to trying it. But in the end, you regret it.

“Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour … If at my convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?”

― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

visitors to the Oregon Coast are lost every year in just these circumstances

Right or left?

 

For a better look I would say, use the flick-magnifier or check this one ... Enjoy!

Many times to this city but never with my bike. What a great way to get around. No traffic or one-ways to deal with. Peddle on . . .

Tempt one 1999...One of the most influential graffiti artist that Los Angeles county has ever had.....so to catch this still running after 12 years was truly an honor...One of the many reasons why I continue to flick freights after 18 years.

 

Bench in Los Angeles

This goldfinch looks to be tempted to kick some butt.

Basically, the rangers at the park warned all visitors to stay back at least 25 feet from the elephant seals. It's mating season and the males are aggressive. They're 2.5 tons and up to 16 feet in length. The distance message is also etched into the beach around each one of these majestic beasts. I'm quite unsure what these two were thinking.

A risk you want to take?

these donuts look tempting..
