When you visit the local nursery to look at the art rather than the plants. When the old nursery closed down many years ago, the place was overtaken by squatters and there was a lot of graffiti. When the new nursery moved in, they invited local artists to take over the walls and there is some amazing stuff.
A fairly abstract depth of field exercise....
This photo's title dates from my 2012 photo-a-day effort, where it was a recurring theme. We had a more impressive trellis back then.
Actually, we've still got that trellis, but it's in pieces and leaning against the garage because a wind storm took it apart some years back. My year-ago excursion through our yard included two pics of that one, by the way, and two of a third that used to support a (failed) rose garden.
What I posted, though, was a view across the street, taken from our yard. It's a decidedly wintery photo (I called it "January") and several of our neighbors' yards are represented. As things turned out, versions of that photo were my "if all else fails" shot last year.
==========
For much of last year, my monthly routine went like this:
* For the first week of the month, I'd set the camera up as fully manual.
* For the second week of the month, I'd set the camera up as Aperture Priority but with manual focus.
* For the third week I'd reverse that--autofocus, but exposure controlled manually.
* For the rest of the month the camera'd be set up with autofocus turned on and (usually) Aperture Priority.
The objective was to force myself to think about these things. I like to think it was a learning experience.
This only worked with the Olympus, by the way. My Nikon 1 doesn't support manual focus in any useful sense, but I've long routinely operated its exposure controls manually.

When I saw this it took me back to childhood. It's how I remember the countryside as a child; or rather, how I remember pictures of the coutryside when I was a child - muted colours, grey, washed-out skies, defunct hedges, long forgotten fences, wind strained trees and sheep. This is what old photographs can do to your memories: they replace the bright sunshine, vibrant colours of nature and the sense of freedom of being out in the countryside. And here I am, perpetuating and even exacerbating the problem.
When a friend visited, I put my railway to work. Older or newer motor, 2 short cars or 3 long ones, it did not make a difference. Both trains run almost as fast as the other one, so I was able to have them both circling the centre field...
When building larger creations I like to keep it fairly modular so I can remove panels and break it down into sections if needed to make modifications.
These four assembly’s cover the top section of the ship. They snap into place with just a few studs. Enough to keep them in place, but also easily removable.
Sometimes a modification is needed to the interior of the ship, which is a lot easier when a panel or two can be removed.

This rhyme is one I've heard since I was young. I found one source for it: "Anonymous U.S. Infantry saying," ca. 1929.

Her second dress is very nice. But it always reminds me of the Barbie H2o Design Studio doll. She has a very similair dress pattern. :-p

What a moment, each time, to have the privilege of standing and witnessing this phenomenon!
Never get tired of it.
This was in Cornwall, with a few rocks in the sea.
I hope you get as much pleasure out of them as I do, M, (*_*)

You have to carry on...
When your bubble bursts....
This image was captured some weeks ago and got lost on my hard drive, I was going through some today and rediscovered it. A moment in time rarely if ever seen. :)
BB
an old me pic, a selfie while lying in bed, probably taking Annas bed when she was away, since Fjords bed (my old bed) was nothing I would ever lye in by choice :) all those boy and girls he had had in that bed...
since it is from the time where I had three non-paying lodgers or my children as I sometime called them, anyhow my age must be mid 20 something perhaps 26??? (just a wild guess)
at first I wondered what the red mark in my forehead was, no it is not a flesh-wound or a bump, I noticed that I on another picture had used the Homeland bit currency stamp as some kind of weird ornament except for the other usual makeup...
it must have been a time when I could afford a real cigarette usually we were rolling on dumps on dump and what ever was in the ashtray from our guest...
four people living in the house and no one had any money, no jobs, I used to get some extra money by selling my own stuff or stuff I found in skips...
...oh an the lovely bread I baked every day just to get some of the worst hunger to go away...
* baking soda
* suger
* curry
* and flower
even though the others were hungry the seldom ate my bread, well except for LInus
The picture is probably taken with either Annas or my Cannon Camera???
Peace and Noise!

When I first saw a Gulf Fritillary I thought it was a Monarch. It was early on in learning macro photograph. This shot was taken in August of 2008.
When the sunset has no colour, why not shoot B&W?
Taken using a Hasselblad 500CM, Hasselblad 80mm Planar f/2.8 C, and Kodak TMAX 400 developed in T-MAX developer for the standard time. Scanned with SilverFast 8 and an Epson V850 scanner.

When I first saw this I thought it might be either one of the pair I've photographed locally before, but it would seem to be a 'new' one.
Original alloys have been replaced.
Should've given the lens a bit of a wipe before I took this photo.....
When I went to check on my garden this morning, I was surprised to see this amaryllis blooming. (The water is from the morning sprinklers - it did not rain!)
Note: After I took the picture, I realized I hadn't changed the date back to California time, so it is off by ten hours. It's all fixed now.
La Madeleine, Paris
The card was sent on 26th September 1903 to Miss Dorothy Cornelius, 11 Coleraine Road, Westcombe Park, Blackheath, London SE from Mr Bandran, 52 Avenue de St Cloud, Versailles, prés Paris. The front begins, towards the bottom, Dear Dorothy, Georges won't be cross any more, now. I sent him a card little time ago. Kind regards to you all. I hope you enjoy yourself now. Please let me know how is your finger now? Better surely.
It then continues on numbered lines at the top: Please, now, sent me the cards to Versailles. I shall put my address on the other side of that card. I shall soon send you some postcards from. I must tell you that when I ride on horseback I never wear any red clothes and never run into the bushes. In Paris, we never smoke like that boy on your P.C. But I think you saw Paul and I smoking so you must know now. Am waiting for some news. Sincerely yours, Gaston.
In 1903, Dorothy Cornelius was seventeen years old. She lived at 11 Coleraine Road Blackheath in the house of her parents Joshua and Ada Cornelius. Her father was an inspector for the Board of Agriculture. She had a twin brother, Joshua, and a younger brother Cecil.
The family do not appear to be on the 1911 census, and may have gone abroad.
When I was a young boy my mother was a master butcher working with her father and he, my grandfather, owned the little shop next door, to his butcher shop. In there my aunt was employed ... in the "Old Sweet" shop (the confectioners) and I always loved going in their - it was a little more exciting than the dead lumps of meat!!
Oh those were "the good old days!"

when Night comes, it bellows. sweeping tree lines and waking the dead, Night lingers in the bark crevices, beneath rotting leaves, and in the folds of her blood dress. when He comes, she stands, alert, her blood thumping against the veins like a snake writhing as afarmer quickly chops the head off. Night is ideal for searching. three years have trudged on, but mother has not been found.
fear follows her, it lifts her up into the copper shadows, but it never waits or lingers. as quick as it is there, it is gone. she is left with only a brazen lantern, a candle's flame blinking in the wind, and a red dress that is just a reminder of a mother she never knew.
Lightbox this. It makes it larger and looks better
I'm really, really happy with this. I bought this dress for 5 bucks at a thrift store. It's hideous, but it has so much personality and so many stories behind it. Kudos to my friend Adam for the location and hair styling and to Sarah for being still since I shot with a longish exposure. I wanted this to look like a painting, and it does. It's always exciting when a photo looks exactly like it does in your mind. :)
Also, my junior year of college has began and I am swamped with homework, work, workstudy, my presidency of our Gay-Straight Alliance, and my 365. I'm going to keep photographing though!
P.S. That is Sarah Ann Loreth's lantern. :)
Remember back when we could all gather as a group?
Remember back when when we could go to a baseball game?
Remember back when we could shake hands with a new acquaintance?
Remember back when we could go shopping anywhere and have lunch or dinner at a restaurant?
Remember back when we were not afraid to leave our house?
This photo was taken by a Kowa/SIX medium format film camera and KOWA 1:2.8/85mm lens with a Zenza Bronica 67mm SY44•2C(Y1) filter using Kodak 400TX film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitalized by Photoshop.
