Orthochromatic Glass Plate 5in x7in (Half Plate) photo taken at National Trust Southwell former Workhouse. 1890 Lancaster International Tailboard Plate Camera.
What makes this fun?......The camera is just a wooden box with a lens at one end and a moving location for the focus screen and a place to put a plate carrier, which is 160 years old and not in its prime. Everything is worn and wobbly. The plate is slow - 5asa - the time to expose this picture is 1/2 sec at f8. The plate is developed in red light so you can see the thing emerge. Nowadays we scan the negative once dry so no need for a big darkroom. I use a downstairs toilet area lit by bicycle red leds. As basic as photography gets - but that is the fun of it!
Vanitas Self-portrait
Vanitas! Vanitatum Vanitas!
MY trust in nothing now is placed,
Hurrah!
So in the world true joy I taste,
Hurrah!
Then he who would be a comrade of mine
Must rattle his glass, and in chorus combine,
Over these dregs of wine.
I placed my trust in gold and wealth,
Hurrah!
But then I lost all joy and health,
Lack-a-day!
Both here and there the money roll'd,
And when I had it here, behold,
From there had fled the gold!
I placed my trust in women next,
Hurrah!
But there in truth was sorely vex'd,
Lack-a-day!
The False another portion sought,
The True with tediousness were fraught,
The Best could not be bought.
My trust in travels then I placed,
Hurrah!
And left my native land in haste.
Lack-a-day!
But not a single thing seem'd good,
The beds were bad, and strange the food,
And I not understood.
I placed my trust in rank and fame,
Hurrah!
Another put me straight to shame,
Lack-a-day!
And as I had been prominent,
All scowl'd upon me as I went,
I found not one content.
I placed my trust in war and fight,
Hurrah!
We gain'd full many a triumph bright,
Hurrah!
Into the foeman's land we cross'd,
We put our friends to equal cost,
And there a leg I lost.
My trust is placed in nothing now,
Hurrah!
At my command the world must bow,
Hurrah!
And as we've ended feast and strain,
The cup we'll to the bottom drain;
No dregs must there remain!
--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My first experience of Dog’s Trust was when I first visited the Kenilworth and fell in love with a 4 year old Bull Mastiff x Rhodesian Ridgeback called Primrose.
Since adopting her on the 4th September 2011, Primrose has proved to be a complete dream to own. It really does show that if you give a Rescue dog the stable and loving home environment that it so truly deserves, it will most definitely repay you with a loving, loyal companion who supplies you with endless amounts of fun and a constant smile! I also have Primrose to thank for the dream job that I have now – if I’d have never visited Kenilworth centre that day, I would never have found out about the new site they were building in Loughborough.
It really is true what they say about a dog being for life. Owning a dog isn’t just about giving a dog a home to live in! It’s about friendship and communication and giving you something to wake up for each morning. I can honestly say that since adopting Primrose I’ve had some of the most enjoyable times of my life - with many, many more to come!
I was drinking coffee with Abby yesterday and the postman arrived. Elsie clambered on to the large basket by the window whilst Abby dealt with the post. Then, Abby encouraged Elsie to jump into her arms. Usually Elsie is picked up and swirled round, but this jump required Elsie to trust her mother to catch her before being whirled through the air. By the time I had my camera ready they were on jump 2 or 3 . . . there were about 8 in all. This little series is of the moments in between the jumps
