Circa 1979. Another photo from my scanning project; this from a black & white print. It's a horrible print, and not much of a photo; I'm guessing I shot it with a half-frame point'n'shoot.
My thoughts while scanning:
. "What's this?"
. "A windchime?"
. "OK. But where?"
. "Hmmm. What's that building?"
. "A car wash!"
. "'Got it: 3924 Hartford #302."
That's Waverly Park Apartments, in southwest Lansing. I lived in that apartment from sometime in the spring of 1978 through the end of 1980. Thus the circa 1979.

I lived in Waverly Park twice. Oddly, I can't recite the other address without looking it up.

"Packard," Flickr's map says for this location. There was once a railroad stop near where the car wash stands. The stop was established about 1878; I'm not sure when it was abandoned, but 'twas many years before I was born, much less lived in Lansing. The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern called the stop Packard. But there's no current clue about that. Even the remnants of the track are mostly gone.
A free history lesson, just because.
iced over wind chime in my backyard... Somehow I don't think it will ever be quite the same again...
25th Ickworth Wood & Craft Fair
A great day out on Sunday 5 October 2014, at the 25th Ickworth Wood and Craft Fair.
It all began in the in 1989 when after the great storm of 1987, the estate found it had significant tree damage and an excess of wood to dispose of. The first sales of wood were held in the empty shell that was the West Wing of Ickworth at the time, but it rapidly grew out of this space and moved outside. Today it's evolved into a weekend for everyone to enjoy as woodcraft and many other country craft professionals and enthusiasts come together to demonstrate and sell their crafts. The fair includes live bands, locally brewed ales, pottery tent with raku firing, plenty of local foods and produce, wood demonstrations, craft stalls and children's activities including archery to test your skills.
Ickworth Wood
This is a rare opportunity for wood professionals and enthusiasts to buy quality Ickworth wood milled from the estate. Choose from oak, ash, sycamore, cedar and cherry, ¼ sawn 1" to 2 ½" planks. The wood this year was naturally resourced after the recent storms, as well as felled within the management of the estate.
Specialist Wood Displays and Stalls
An opportunity to watch craftsmen at work turning British wood into unique pieces of art. A wide variety of stalls selling everything from handmade wooden puppets to tables, sculptures, rocking chairs and bird tables to windchimes.
Craft Stalls
Many stalls selling quality homemade and home restored items, by the stall holders. From tempting cakes to pretty jewellery. The perfect time to for early buying of Christmas presents that will impress everyone and that are not available on the high street.
Eating and Drinking Stalls
A wide variety to choose from. From hog roast, hot dogs or possibly a jacket potato, together with a refreshing glass of fresh lemonade or maybe a beer to wash it all down. The chance to take some local brewed St Peter's beer home or home brewed ciders.
Pottery
A visit the pottery tent where the Anglian potters could be found, selling a wide variety of beautiful handmade products including raku fired pieces. You could also see the Raku firing kiln and learn all about the art of pottery with live 'throwing wheel' demonstrations.
There were a number of other pottery stalls where you could admire the skills of the stall holders and purchase the items they've made. You could even add your own designs to a plate which would be fired and sent to you. A lovely momento to remember the day.
'Oliver' Steam Traction Engine
Oliver the 'Little Ruston' steam traction engine opened and closed the fair with his arrival and departure tooting his horn. Watching the engine at work sawing wood, a fantastic opportunity to step back in time and reminisce about bygone days.
Experimenting with the F-stops for a depth-of-field shot. I added in a B&W layer then masked out the windchime so that all of it's colors would bleed through. Turned out very nice.

The wind began to pick up, and I decided it was time for me to go inside and seek shelter. I snapped one more photos of these windchimes, which were blowing pretty hard in the rain and wind.
I collect lanterns. This one is on top of a wind chime and has a color-changing LED in it that comes on at night.
A duplicate (or perhaps triplicate) of a piece I entered in the Oregon Glass Guild's Glass Gallery 2008. Sold the first two, this is the third and probably final incarnation.
After wasps decided to take up residency in the metal tubes of a set of chimes I have enjoyed for years, I knew it was time to let the this sleepy fairy truly rest.
Mom likes Angels and Cherubs and wind chimes. So, I decided to take a couple photos and set them up in a picture for her. She liked it, do you?
This photo was made for Our Daily Challenge, the challenge was "SOUND."
I love windchimes. Large or small they all play their special song.
I need some help guys.
I keep getting really thin negatives and I have no idea what to do about it and honestly my teacher is of almost no help whenever she tries to explain how to fix it, she makes no sense to me, or anyone else in my class. It seems to be a lot of us having issues with this.
I know I'm developing right.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with all the settings I use when I shoot. In daylight/cloudy/sorta brightly lit settings I seem to do well. Once the lighting gets dim or night photography ish I get all screwy.
Can anyone help me figure out approximate good settings to use for night photography? Or any advice? I mean I live in the city so it's still decently lit out here at night but it's still dark enough that my negatives come out almost impossible. Same goes for when I'm shooting indoors, specifically in darker indoor situations. Like the previous shot of the cat, I almost hung myself dealing with that roll's negatives! jaksdhlshdfg film is so confusing :(
I use Ilford HP5+ ISO 400 film bytheway.
Earlier in the day, with the sky overcast, I looked at these recently hung wind chimes and thought they'd make a good photo if only the light could fall right. Thanks Mother Nature for bestowing upon me the most mighty of sunsets as a backdrop.

Wind chimes made from junk. The crystal brandy glass has a broken base, the stainless steel tubes are cut from an old domestic light fitting and the supporting ring is made from an old toilet roll storage holder. The glass should not chip or crack, as the stronger, wider part of the glass contacts the dangling steel tubes. It also gives off a superb ring, sounding far better than anything you can generally buy in-store, or on-line.
In August, we went to visit Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine to see the windchimes! It was very lovely but also extremely hot and bright. Not my best photographic work. 😅 But it was a fun day!

Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel
Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me
