Week 2 theme: Empty
01.28.2013
Welcome to the Tridelphia Reservoir Dam. This place was unknown to me until today. Jason and I drove around looking for things to take photos of that would fit the theme of the week. That theme is "empty." So here it is. A dam. When we arrived at the park it was empty. There was nobody in the parking lot. There was nobody in the park. Just nobody. There were some geese, some snow, a lot of mud, a ton of geese excrement, and some cold weather. We walked from the parking lot to a river that ran from the base of the damn into the forest. The water was flowing quickly but its surface was uninterrupted and looked smooth and polished like a piece of glass. From what could be seen the source of the river was a four-story sheet of concrete. The water flowed from somewhere. The dam was roughly 50 meters away so we sauntered over. All was calm at its base for the exception of one pipe. Water roared out of that pipe with significant intensity; enough intensity that’s its spray of mist left a thick accumulation of ice on a wall 20 feet away. I watched the water for a while. The water coming from the pipe seemed immense but failed in comparison to what was on the other side. It reminds me of an hourglass.

2 stitch shot from Thornton Force, using the shift function on the 45mm lens to give me a wider view than normal.
The Pier, but maybe in toy town
Spent a couple of days messing with tilt -shift, really like the effect

Week 5 theme: Self Portrait

"You were made for enjoyment, and the world was filled with things which you will enjoy, unless you are too proud to be pleased with them, or too grasping to care for what you cannot turn to other account than mere delight. Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless: peacocks and lilies, for instance."
John Ruskin, 1853, The Stone Of Venice: Volume I, chapter II, section 17.

Cette photo aux allures impressionniste a été réalisée grâce à un vieil objectif Takumar 55mm f1.8 à monture M42 installé sur mon DC-G9 grâce à un adaptateur permettant le «tilt». En jouant avec la zone de netteté et en ouvrant à pleine ouverture, on obtient un effet évoquant la peinture expressionniste.
Week 7 theme: Breakfast

I am way behind. I had a series of close/open shifts and didn't have time to edit or post photos. Now I am in Columbus, Ohio getting ready to open the newest edition to the Whole Foods family. This morning I woke up at 2am and hit the road with John Tony of the P-Street Seafood fame. Normally I would have left much later but thanks to some poor planning by the Washington D.C. department of transportation traffic gets out of control by a very early hour. We got to Ohio safe and sound just in time to get dumped on by snow. Awesome.

What would Jean Claude Van Damme do? There are too many answers to the question. Don't ponder it a minute more. It will consume you.

Some unaware tourists are being transformed into action figures by some post-production tricks simulating the use of a tilt-shift lens.
This shot was taken just above one of the main squares of Meran, in northern Italy.
