ODC-Weekend Project
I love making Black Garlic. I have my handy dandy Fermenting machine that does all the work. I buy 1 dozen bulbs of garlic. Wrap each in heavy tin foil, put it into the machine, cover with a sheet of heavy foil and then let it sit for 4-6 days in that fermenter. You can also dry garlic in this machine. I do this in the basement, the garlic smell gets very strong at first. When done the garlic turns black and soft and a bit sticky due to the caramelizing sugars. It kind of tastes like Tamarind or Balsamic Vinegar and it develops a mild sweetness that resembles molasses with a hint of soy sauce. Once done I store it in a big jar in the fridge. Even Shizandra loves it!
Still a WIP. Just need to remember to keep things simple with this one.

Rock, Paper Dragon, Candle Scissors.
The light coming in through the window from the Japanese maple cast the entire room in red and for a moment I thought the room was on fire.

=============
Not the sharpest tacks from the box, but they work for me.
Looks better on a black background.
These artificial pears were purchased at an art store. Unlike the real things, they are bit too reflective. All of the colors show are very nicely against this black background.
Have a great weekend and week. As always, thanks for your comments.
My eyebrows are raised on this one, but I wanted to share it with you anyway.
Your comments are welcomed.
Thank you.

This is the backside of "Goliath," my ancient Fujica G960 BL medium format rangefinder camera. It's not a pretty sight. Normally, Goliath produces massive 9x6cm negatives using medium-format film. As an experiment, I decided to adapt this behemoth so that it produced panoramic pictures using standard 35mm film. The first problem was securing a 35mm film cassette into a chamber designed for medium format film. After a lot of messing around, I found that placing two polystyrene pellets (as used in packing delicate items for the post) in the film chamber was the best way of securing the 35mm cassette. The film is then pulled across to the take-up spool on the right and attached to it with masking tape. With the back closed, two strokes of the wind-on lever are required to move the film to the next frame. The standard lens with this camera is the 100mm / f3.5 Fujinon although the viewfinder has lines for 100mm and 150mm lenses. Framing panoramic shots with this set-up is a bit of an inexact science but great fun. From my first roll of 36 exposure b+w film, I was able to get 13 panoramas, each measuring 24mm by nearly 90mm! As an added bonus, the picture spills on to the borders of the frames, around the sproket holes.... looks very cool (but unfortunately my current scanner can't scan the borders so I can't share the coolness).
Once you get to the end of the film, you can't rewind it (this is a medium format camera which is designed to use rollfilm, remember). I take the film out of the camera in a dark bag and feed it directly onto the developing reel and then place the reel in a Jobo tank ready for developing.
See my stream for some panoramic photos produced by Goliath.

For UTATA's Week End Project "cool":
The only "cool" segment at a very hot #morningrun (27°C at 10AM).
The bronze doors on Mayo Clinic's Plummer Building in Rochester, MN.
"Raymond Corwin of Ellerbe & Co., the architects for the building, designed its bronze entry doors, which feature panel designs from medicine and mythology."

Our local supermarket has a lot of Portuguese things at the moment so I treated myself to a packet of frozen custard tarts, yummy.
Any way you look at it.

Look what I did this weekend!
I got the idea from here and made a few modifications to the design. I stuck with the lined notebook, and my edges are curved; for glue I used a 50/50 mix of Elmer's and water instead of PVA glue.
The whole thing took about 3 hours Saturday night, and I let it dry overnight before doing some polishing this afternoon.
