Get Pushed Challenge Round 60
This round I was paired with Raf Degeest and the challenge he sent me was:
1. make a still life capture from anything that you find in the house
2. think out of the box (so no typical fruit or flowers scene)
3. use natural incoming light
you might set your camera on manual focus to do this.
I had a lot of fun with this and tried lots of different things... before settling on the thread. Just goes to show...there is always something to shoot!
Thanks for the challenge Raf!
Quechua women's dress today is rooted in traditions from pre-conquest Peru (a fusion of Inca and Huari cultures), and Spanish Colonial peasant dress (often with some modern touches).
In the Peruvian High Andes, each village has a unique style of clothing that identifies the wearer as belonging to that region.
Indigenous women in the Andes dress in layers of bright, colorful traditional Andean clothing, including capes, shawls, embroidered skirts, and vibrantly colored hats.
However many women dress in modern clothing these days, and wear their traditional garb for special occasions. Increasingly, young women who live in Cusco and other urban centers choose to wear modern clothing, but may revert to traditional Andean clothing when back in their villages.*
The Giants Win the Pennant! The Giants Win the Pennant! San Francisco loves to support its sports teams and when the Giants won the NL Championship the entire city lights itself to match its teams colors. City Hall has turned orange; Coyt Tower decks itself in orange; and for each World Series game the Transamerica Building turns its Beacon on in Orange glory.
Willie and I drove up to the Marin Headlands early in the evening and made our way to the teeny little spot called “Thread the Needle”. In this specific spot the Transamerica Beacon lines up perfectly in the north tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. Nick Sternberg met up with us and the 3 of us enjoyed the evening to ourselves.
While the Transamerica Beacon did light up orange, it was a bit more disappointing than we thought. The orange light isn’t as bright as the normal white Beacon and thus didn’t turn into a giant star like we’re used to. Additionally, the orange light looks almost red and is dwarfed by the lights on top of the Golden Gate Bridge. Oh well, at least Coyt Tower and the Embarcadero Center buildings are lit in beautiful orange colors.
And of course the Giants beat the Royals 7-1 in Game 1! Here’s to 3 more!

altered newspaper, thread and ink. I made this with a personal Beltane ritual and left the newspaper lying outdoors on the earth during the full moon.
Inspired by other vintage thread images on Flickr I couldn't resist doing another version with my vintage thread.
Me resultó muy difícil iluminar la aguja, sin afectar la oscuridad necesaria para que aparezca el rayo laser. Inspirada en el asombroso trabajo de Helen (toomanytribbles), si no conocen su creatividad, no dejen de visitar su galería.
It was very difficult to illuminate the needle, without affecting the darkness needed to show the laser beam. Inspired by the amazing work of Helen (toomanytribbles), if you don't know her creativity, stop and visit her stream.
Fragile Threads
by Victoria Frazior, 1998
Our lives, embroidered into the fabric of time,
Nearly invisible in the length and breadth of space;
We execute our creation, stitch by stitch
Hoping for glory in its making.
We bind our memories, our dreams and our hopes
In tiny fragile threads,
Across the uncertain terrain of our lives.
Together we find courage and strength
To face our task at hand
Seeking solace in our quest
As those who have the eyes to see
And the ears to hear.

I was excited to find a box full of wooden spools of thread at an antique store and even happier that the whole box was only $2.

From my first session in a studio. A tighter crop than the other image, I like this one more than the other.
eight minutes and 20 seconds and 93 million miles after leaving the sun, these rays threaded the needle through the perforations of this single oak leaf, directly to me.
The red and white ones caught on in the 1930s through the 1950s because a colorfast red thread was created, which didn't bleed in the wash. Funny, I had clothes that bled in the 60s and 70s.

An Re 10/10 led intermodal scoots through the short 88 metre Mühle tunnel and traverses the first of the three crossings of the Meienreuss river it will make on its run up through the Wassen village. The train is about to enter the 300 metre Kirchberg tunnel below the church of Wassen.
Strangely (for this locale and for me), it was sunny for my entire visit, but quite hot and very humid, with a visible blue haze in the air which is visible around the peak of Chli Windgällen in the distance.

This wasp will ambush its prey immobilize it with a swift powerful sting. It will then drag the prey into an underground lair and will lay one egg. When the egg hatches the larvae feeds on the prey. Adults feed on flower nectar and small insects. They are not aggressive towards humans but I don't think I'd want to annoy one.

Even though my Ordinary Object set is finished, I will continue to photograph those simple things that interest me. I love spools of thread and this large beehive like cone of thin yarn (is there a name for it?) caught my eye at an estate sale and I bought it. I found the entire shape of it so simple and sculptural it has found a place on my desk and I will be photographing more of it.
