This unusual lamp I'm assuming was designed to highlight art, it's unusual in the fact that it sits so low to the table surface. The lamp shade can be postioned at many different angles due to the magnetic holder. I found the signed Carlo Vivarelli print at a yard sale in Sarasota.
3rd of these images of this outdoor sculpture, high above the Mesa Art Center buildings in the courtyard.
On this one I liked the intrustion of a very tall palm tree, and the way that the light shone just right on the lowest panel to make it almost seamless with the color of the sky. This is part of a gigantic sculpture, almost a canopy, that connects the center courtyard between the large buildings. There are more of these coming in my stream. These are collected in my set, "Mesa and Man".

Enniscorthy edged by battling Bangor by Roger Corbett
Bangor produced an excellent performance against a strong Enniscorthy side to once again come from behind and secure a semi-final place by 14-10.
In contrast to last week, the weather and pitch conditions at Upritchard Park were good. However, Bangor’s preparations got off to a bad start when centre Mike Aspley aggravated an injury in the pre-match warm-up and was unable to play. A quick re-shuffle saw Chris Morgan come in from full back as his replacement, and Adam McCusker taking up the full back role. For Enniscorthy’s part, they came to this fixture on the back of a good run of results in the Leinster League Division 1A, and sitting in second place in that table.
A mistake by Bangor right from the referee’s whistle at kick-off looked to have handed the visitors an opportunity to take the initiative. However, having won the ball back, McCusker put a superb kick deep into the Enniscorthy twenty two that left the defence no option but to put it into touch. The Bangor line-out was taken cleanly by Curtis Stewart, and a maul was formed that surged towards the Enniscorthy line before Jamie Clegg dropped with the ball and scored the game’s first try after just 4 minutes. Mark Widdowson made the conversion, and the score was 7-0.
Within 3 minutes the lead could have been extended when Enniscorthy were penalised for a high tackle. However, this time Widdowson’s kick drifted wide of the posts.
If Bangor thought things were going their way, this soon changed as Enniscorthy gathered themselves and started to gain confidence through a lengthy period of possession, aided in some part by Bangor’s readiness to kick when in possession themselves. The Enniscorthy attack was now causing Bangor headaches, with the result that the penalty count started to rise. Eventually these repeated infringements around the breakdown led to a yellow card being shown to James Henly. Enniscorthy saw this as their opportunity to capitalise, and laid siege to Bangor’s line. Bangor doggedly held their line despite conceding further penalties, and having to defend the resulting line-out and drive combination by Enniscorthy. As Henly’s 10 minute period in the sin bin came to an end, Bangor had somehow managed to hold off the Enniscorthy attack, and had actually managed to turn over the ball, giving them a chance to clear their lines and gather their breath. However, in a bizarre series of events, Ricky Armstrong’s clearance kick was charged down and bounced back towards the Bangor line, only to be gratefully accepted by one of the big Enniscorthy forwards who was still getting to his feet from the preceding ruck. With barely two steps to the line, he touched down for the try, leaving the Bangor players confused and dejected after working so hard to prevent the score. The conversion was missed, keeping Bangor narrowly ahead by 7-5, after 23 minutes.
For most of the remainder of the first half, Enniscorthy kept play in Bangor’s half. Bangor looked dangerous on the counter attack, with some good runs by the wingers Davy Charles and Mark Widdowson. For Enniscorthy’s part, they had several good scoring opportunities but either knocked-on or missed a pass at the crucial moments. A half time score of 7-5 would have been gladly taken by Bangor but, as 40 minutes approached, a lapse in concentration while in their own twenty two, led to a missed tackle which was clinically exploited by Enniscorthy, allowing them to run in for their second try which, although unconverted, gave the lead by 7-10 as the sides turned around.
As has been the case in many other games, Bangor’s second half performance moved up a gear, and it was now the visitor’s line that was coming under attack. Within the first 10 minutes, Bangor looked to be in a good scoring position, but the Enniscorthy defence was equal to Bangor’s first half display. Although unable to break through at this time, Bangor were now looking more confident as the initial Enniscorthy charge appeared to be stuttering. This certainly looked the case when, after 25 minutes had elapsed, the Enniscorthy kicker elected to go for the posts from close to the half way line – a strange decision given the relatively poor conversion attempts earlier. Once again the kick was missed, but Bangor had at least been pushed back into their own half.
As the game entered the final 5 minutes, it was beginning to look like Enniscorthy would hold firm and take the win. However, in a repeat of the exemplary performance displayed at Clonmel in the previous round, Bangor simply lifted their game again and mounted a surge against their tiring opponents. With just 2 minutes of normal time remaining, Jamie Ball gathered the ball at the half way line, and then passed it to Clegg on his left. Leading by example, Clegg went straight, taking the ball past the 10 metre line and drawing the approaching Enniscorthy defender. A well-timed pass to his left was equally well-received by Widdowson on the wing, who rounded his opposite number and sprinted for the line. With little space to work with and the full-back still to beat, Widdowson produced the speed and footwork necessary to take him over the line, to the left of the posts. He then managed to add the icing on the cake with another well-struck conversion which put Bangor ahead by 14-10.
The moments immediately after scoring are particularly dangerous, and with Enniscorthy now throwing everything they had, the remaining couple of minutes were incredibly tense – for both sets of supporters. To Enniscorthy’s credit, they skilfully kept recycling the ball – almost like sevens rugby – bringing the game back into Bangor’s twenty two. But in the end, it was just too much, with Bangor eventually managing to turn the ball over and close out the game, bringing despair and delight in equal measure on the faces of the opposing players.
To the Bangor supporters who had been unable to travel to the game at Clonmel, and who had not fully appreciated the performance there, this brought everything that had been said into focus, and with it the realisation that Bangor now have the ability to go all the way in this competition. With Ulster rivals Clogher Valley and CIYMS, and Leinster high-fliers Dundalk now joining Bangor in the semi-finals, the next hurdle will be equally challenging, but having beaten two of the strongest junior sides in Ireland, confidence is high and everything is now to play for.

Dies passiert wenn man die Aufgabe bekommt Bilder aus verschiedenen Perspektiven zu machen. Fazit: Fotokurse können sehr viel Spass machen :)
Looks like a battle, but isn't ! This is what happens when you get the task to take pictures from different angles. Conclusion: Photography courses can be a lot of fun :)
Always on their guard; desperate measures were to taken to ensure this endagered Panrucker was not startled by the shutter firing on my camera.

Exhibition at the Morean Arts Center, St. Pete, highlighting recent work by Perri Neri. Influenced by the style of Francis Bacon, among others, she explores female identity and sexuality.
work has been tense and messy lately, *that should also explain why i haven't uploaded often or if at all, very sporadically*
two of my artist just left,
so i'm trying to fill-in their shoes,
i could have managed if it weren't for the volume of work,
plus some clients take forever to approve proofs,
those in my line could very well relate to this,
so to keep my sanity, i have my lomos and film cameras to keep me company,
I find solace in going out and looking for or buying film *isn't that crazy?*
the trick now is to find time to go out and shoot!
Documentary smartphone pictures during some maintenance of my Zorki 1 type D (year 1955), Lyon, France, January 24, 2023.
After three films with the Zorki 1D, I realized that the rewind button was very stiff in the film advance direction (anti-clockwise) and normal in the rewind way (clockwise). There may be a sort of brake washers in the mechanism necessary to maintain the film well tensed. However these braking washers clearly needed to be lubricated not to have such strong and irregular resistance that caused even problems during the film advance.
After searching unsuccessfully some documentations (I found some technical views for the Leica IIIC - IIIF here : rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-154.html ) I decided to lubricate very carefully the system using my watchmaking Swiss synthetic, Moebius and sons, 9010, oil used to lubricate jeweled watch pivots. The Moebius 9010 is very fluid and I used my Bergeon "pic-huiles" to introduce in accessible places the minimum amount necessary to make the button normal. Now the rewind button is like the one of my Zorki-4K that was correct. I also introduced the minimum amount of the more-viscous Moebius 9020 oil at the edge of the focusing helicoidal ramp using a larger wood stick but keeping the oil amount to the minimum necessary to improve the fluidity of the focusing of the Industar-22 lens.
The Industar-22 lens received a new metal front cap (push-on 36 mm) that was missing. In the Zorki user manual it was recommended to cover the lens with the cap prior to rewind the film in case of accidental shutter opening.
I also tested the tripod thread converter 3/8'' ("pas du congrès") Kepler of the Zorki 1D and Foca PF2B to the thread 1/4" (Kodak thread) equipping nowadays the photographic accessories. I found too small vintage accessory cases to accommodate the push-on 36mm filters and the shade hood. These two leather cases were cleaned then treated with a quality leather conditioner (Swissvax) used in car detailing.
About the camera and the lens:
This camera is a practically mint sample of Zorki 1 just arrived to me in Lyon, France, January 10, 2023.
The camera looked exiting from the KMZ factory in USSR almost 70 years later spent in a time capsule ... with almost no traces of use. According to a custom receipt of July 28, 1955, signed in Vienna, Austria, the camera body and lens are the original matched ones. As for the original FED, FED-Zorki and Zorki's ("ФЭД", "ФЭД-Зоркий", „Зоркий“), the Zorki 1 was a straight legal copy of the Barnack Leica II after the cancelation of German camera patents following the end of WWII.
This Zorki 1 is a type D model PM1115 (year 1955 according sovietcams.com/index7584.html). Type D Zorki's were produced from 1953 to 1955 in about 250.000 units with serial numbers ranging from #470.000 to (in 1955) #55 45.000. The original lens of this Zorki units is an collapsible lens Industar-22 1:3.5 f=5cm.
In the rear pocket of the ever-ready leather bag was deposited the custom receipt and a film label of Agfa negative-color CN17 likely from the 60's.
The other day when the Turkey Vultures were sitting on my neighbor's chimney, my first clue something was going on outside was Wally. He was staring out the kitchen window, all tense, making little meow sounds. As if he could take on one of those birds!
We were coming home from Thanksgiving dinner. My wife was driving and my daughter was in the front seat next to her. After I’d read all my emails and caught up on social media, I got bored. So I started playing with the iPhone camera to see what I could do in such low light. I ended up with this selfie that reminds me of when the movie heroine is about to discover the serial killer lurking in her back seat.
