Fast Freddy

  

While out strolling on a beautiful Monday afternoon I found myself venturing further from State, after doing a couple laps around the square I stopped outside Subway. Taking in the sites and sounds of a bustling city, along with the glorious weather I heard a voice "getting some good snaps today?" I turned around and came face to face with a friendly looking fellow with his backpack slung over his back, smiling I said "more or less I'm just enjoying the day." From this much conversation, I knew that I had found my stranger for inclusion in my 100 more strangers project. A musician by trade, born in Little Rock and growing up outside of St. Louis: Freddy is now in tune to all things Madison as it's been his home for the last eight years.

  

Very much like myself as a photographer, Freddy spends his free time just enjoying each day and taking in the little things that others might not notice. For example: the sound of splashing water from a winter pot hole, or distant horns of cars stuck in traffic. His current project is a work in progress, as it's still in the development phase I won't give away too many details but I can tell you it deals with Madison and why he calls it home. Apparently inspiration struck after hearing a song about Milwaukee, which according to Freddy made the musician a fair amount of cash. After explaining my process of shooting strangers and the many faces of people that Madison has to offer, Freddy was was more then happy to allow me to include him in the project. I must make note that Freddy is not homeless, as he has a job and that supports his rent among other things. I bring this up on his behalf, as when I explained my project contained many of the homeless of Madison, he wanted me to be sure to make no mistake that he was.

  

Officially I introduced myself at this point as Chris (aka local paparazzi) and he was "Fast" his high school nickname from his football playing days. When I asked whom of which names he wished to be called, he informed me "Fast Freddy" so from this I gained a new friend. Maybe when his project about Madison is completed, I can assist him with creating a music video or a collage of sorts with my Madison snaps. I thank Freddy for allowing me to tell his story and include him in the 100 more strangers, which I suggest you check out more awesome portrait work in the 100 Strangers group here on Flickr. Plenty of faces and great stories to be read, maybe even a bit of inspiration for you to begin your own project!

Rome, 27th June 2016. Konica C35 and Fomapan 400 Action film. Cropped and tweaked in Picasa. Can't remember at all where this was, somewhere near the Trevi fountain.

 

I did a writeup about the Konica C35 here.

This railroad depot at Cedar Falls, Washington is no longer there. When my grandmother (pictured here) visited around Christmas of 1973, she must have known its days were numbered. The electric lines for the freight trains over the Milwaukee Railroad's Cascade crossing were already being removed.

 

My grandmother was born here in 1920 while her father worked for the Milwaukee Railroad, installing the power transformer and then operating the substation. Here's a nice, short writeup on the history of this town.

 

This is just south of Rattlesnake Lake, where the City of Seattle now operates the Cedar River Watershed Education Center. I believe this was either in the cluster of buildings on the right, or just right of frame of the photo I took a few years ago from Rattlesnake Ledge.

 

The tracks on the right are now the Snoqualmie Valley Trail.

Quiapo Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Quiapo, Manila, in the Philippines. The church is one of the most popular churches in the country. It is home to the Black Nazarene, a much venerated statue of Jesus Christ which many people believe has miraculous attributes; because of this the church is sometimes referred to as the "Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene". The foundations of the church was built in 1582 and survived the devastation of World War II despite surrounding builings being completely destroyed. The church was painted cream after the original Mexican Baroque edifice was burned down in 1928.

While in Tokyo last year, I retraced the steps I took during my first vacation there, almost 20 years ago. I tried to recreate some of the photos I took to see how things had changed.

 

I made a full writeup in this blog post, which will also include more photos than I'll be posting here on Flickr.

 

去年、東京にいる間に、ほぼ20年前の初めて東京へ行った旅行の行った道を戻りました。景色はどうやて変わったのかと思いました。それで、昔に撮った写真と比べるために、出来るだけ同じように現代版を撮りました。

Made the trip from Madison to Milwaukee on a Saturday afternoon, for a meet-up with a bunch of photographers from various social media outlets. Upon arriving outside the location we had set up as our base, I was stopped by a man outside who asked me if I could help him get a cup of coffee. Now, not being the type to let this opportunity slip through my fingers; I snatched up the few coins jingling in my pocket and put them in the palm of his hand. While it wasn't nearly enough for a coffee, I decided to talk more to the man. A lifelong resident of Milwaukee, I learned that Dennis seemed to have friends from all sides of the city. In the summer months he finds his way to Madison to do fishing in the Monona Bay (off the tracks). He expressed to me that he went to Rufas King, which as it turns out is the same school that my friend Dan's uncle went too. I pulled out my phone, and showed Dennis a few portraits from my various strangers projects (including the 608 strangers) and while I was not in the 608 but rather the 414, I still felt the need to include Dennis in my project. He agreed easily, and stood a quick pose as he still had more money to obtain towards the cup of coffee.

 

We parted ways, a little less of strangers then we had before but I knew that with his good attitude Dennis would not be a stranger to many. In following various photographers online I've discovered we all have our own styles to certain kinds of work. Key example being the portrait work that I do, I've expressed it before in writing for the 100 strangers. I like the closeness and intimate feel to portraits done with the 50mm, but whichever lens you use for the projects you undertake. Make your subject feel welcome and appreciated, and you might learn something you never knew about them before!

Raymond Anthony Johnson

 

Upon discovering five months ago that Teddywedgers was for up for sale last April, I've made a point to come in and say hi to Ray more often. Since becoming the owner of Myles Teddywedgers Cornish Pasty in 2009 (when original owner Myles passed away), Ray has seen a lot change on the isthmus over the years. Many faces come and go, but as long as I've known of the existence of this wonderful place; Ray has always been there. About a month has passed since Ray and I last talked, but turns out he has recently found a new owner for Teddywedgers. I can only imagine the amount of work required to sell a business, but I'm very thankful that the new owner is going to keep making pasty's.

 

This evening I caught myself snapping photos of the many signs hiding the interior view from any passerby, but was happy to see Ray come out (as I couldn't see in I didn't know he was there). Turns out Teddywedgers is getting a little bit of a remodel inside, with new floors being the main focal point. Ray allowed me to sneak a peak inside, it was almost more alien then I could have ever imagined. No longer an aroma of baking pies, but a stale musty smell lingered. All the appliances had been moved from the walls, and tiles were ripped off the floor. Ray closed the door one final time, latching it with a methodical clunking noise and this chapter in his life drawn to a close.

 

Fate plays in strange ways, but conversing with Ray I found that this was to be the last night he would close the doors. Tomorrow, he was meeting with the new owner to sign over Teddywedgers and give up his ownership. While it was a bit bittersweet, he told me that it was time; all good things must come to an end. In reality, Ray has worked non-stop seemingly to provide the delicious pies to many a tourist and Madisonion in his time. He has passed down the craft to the new owner, and will be sticking around in the basement (in case there are questions ) til at least the end of September. Then he hopes to move to Rockford for a little while, before returning to his roots in Chicago.

 

He expressed to me that 30 years ago, he would have never believed he would have had the opportunities that Madison brought him. Whether having the best front row seat for many Madison events over the years, a smile crept on his face when he told me how nice it was to take in Jazz @5 without any work to do. He even stated there were times he feared he'd never get out of Chicago, and now here we were talking of the next chapter. While Teddywedgers will be closed for a few weeks for the remodel work, it was the most happy thing to hear that he will be able to relax for a change.

 

I requested a photo of Ray in front of Teddywedgers, as normally he's hiding behind the scenes; today I make him a celebrity. A proud moment for me, as well as for Ray; to know that tomorrow is yet to be made.

Chroma is done! I got it mounted in a frame over the Christmas break, and it's working rather well. It will probably still need some more tweaks and debugging for a little while, but it's starting to work pretty reliably. I plan to hang it up at work so people can admire my work. :)

some pictures of the pro-optic 8mm fisheye lens. this one's a canon mount and branded pro-optic, but it is available for nikon and pentax mounts, and possibly others. I believe this same lens is also marketed under other brands, such as bower, samyang, vivitar, and others.

 

I got mine at adorama, and I have only great things to say about them.

 

it was $289, which is crazy cheap, if you ask me. the only thing it lacks is aperture control and autofocus. the autofocus is really unimportant due to the nature of the lens though. there's basically 'near' and 'far' the hyperfocal is so big that it doesn't matter.

 

ken rockwell has a good writeup of this lens on his site: kenrockwell.com. I bought it because of that review, and I have to say I agree with everything he says.

The FG Mason Engineering model A2 receiver was a portable solid state, ulta-wideband receiver introduced in 1964 and discontinued in the 1980's. It could demodulate AM, FM and CW signals with a range of bandwidths, and was intended primarily for "TSCM" (bug-sweeping and transmitter locating) applications. It was supplied in a custom briefcase with a collection of front-end tuning modules providing full coverage between 2 KHz and 2 GHz. This photo shows the A2 with the T-340 module (and telescoping antenna) attached, covering 75-340 MHz.

 

Each unit was hand made to order, and the kit was priced accordingly. The main customer was the US Government, and a total of about 800 units were said to have been produced. I purchased mine a few years ago from a GSA surplus auction;I believe the original owner was the State Department Diplomatic Security Service. The radio and all its tuning modules still function well, although the AF gain pot is a bit noisy and could use a cleaning. (Note that this radio, serial number 61, was an early production version from around 1965, while the tuner, marked in MHz rather than MC, was a replacement manufactured some time later.)

 

A good writeup on the A2 can be found at www.cryptomuseum.com/df/mason/a2.htm

 

It’s hard to imagine today what an engineering accomplishment the Mason A2 was in 1964. It basically replaced a small truckload of RF gear with something that fit into a single portable, reasonably concealable case.

 

The Cold War may have nearly killed us all, but it produced some pretty neat gadgets.

A hidden connection is stronger than an obvious one.

~ Heraclitus of Ephesus

  

I have always been awestruck by Almighty's subtle ways in making deep connections, which we, humans, hardly understand. This image is a tribute to such connections. I would like to say about 2 in particular:

 

1. (A very good friend of mine) Ramu and Shobana, who entered into wedlock last week. Even though both knew each other for 2 years, little did they know then that they're going to marry each other someday. They were seriously searching for their soul mates even after their meet and finally realised that they were made for each other.

 

2. (Two of my colleagues) Ilango and Uma who tied the nuptial knot 2 weeks ago; Their love finally consummated after solid (sincere) 8 years (they are in love since their high school days). I don't need to say more; I have hardly seen such endurance in love.

  

P.S.: Both wedding reception dinners were utterly delicious! Thanks and Godspeed guys :)

Located in Paoli's town square, Miller Garage is on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Paoli Historic District. Here is the writeup:

 

Miller Garage, 146 N. Court Street, Arts and Crafts style, 1920. The Miller Garage is a one-story brick building with stone accents. The garage door openings on the front (south side) of the building have been filled in with new storefronts. Above these are three stone panels. The center panel is inscribed with "GARAGE." Above this is a triangular parapet with stone coping. This building was Paoli's first garage and automobile sales showroom. The featured vehicle was the Model T. Ford. The building represents the shift from horse and wagons to automobile transportation. Other auto-related buildings in Paoli which date from the same era include the Riley Garage at 153 E. Main Street, and a small gas station on the northwest corner of W. Main and W. Fourth Streets.

On the southern bank of the Wabash River, and facing westward. We're a few meters/yards from the upstream side of this prominent waterfront feature.

 

Please note that the terms reef and bioherm have been variously defined by different paleontologists. In general, bioherms are any moundlike structures created by marine organisms. Reefs are wave-resistant structures, of whatever shape, formed by such framework-building organisms as corals and stromatoporoids. But which is exactly which can be a matter of debate among specialists. In this series I'll just use the terms employed by the authors of my sources.

 

I first heard of Hanging Rock long before the American Endarkenment had begun, i.e., in the early 1970s, when my invertebrate-paleontology professor at Purdue University mentioned it to me. The fact that there was an exhumed Silurian-period reef about 75 mi (121 km) up the Wabash River from where my school stood was to me a thrilling discovery demanding immediate exploratory action. But that locale was definitely out of the range of my only vehicular transportation system at that time, a ten-speed bicycle. It had taken me to some quarries about 20 mi (32 km) away, but that was about the limit. Fortunately, I was eventually able to cadge a ride to Hanging Rock from one of my car-owning friends.

 

For some reason, though, I didn't pay a return visit till the winter day I took this photo, two decades later. At that point I was working as a National Park Service ranger at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. I tried to convince some of my colleagues to go with me and learn some more Hoosier State geology. Alas, while they were only too happy to have me herd them around the Chicago Loop, they had no interest whatsoever in a trek to see a big hunk of rock sticking up in the middle of nowhere.

 

In fact, any ancient reef you find anywhere on Earth is the direct opposite of being "nowhere," but there was no convincing my fellow rangers of that. So I made the drive alone, which, I've learned since, is the best state to be in if you want to develop a good Ortsinn, the Clausewitzian concept of accurately assessing and appreciating the landscape you're traveling through.

 

Hanging Rock itself is actually only that portion of a reef that the Wabash River and the late-Pleistocene Maumee Megaflood have not removed. Stratigraphically speaking, it's composed of the predictably named Upper Silurian Wabash Formation, which dates to approximately 425 Ma ago.

 

This unit includes two members, the Liston Creek Limestone above and Mississinewa Shale below, as well as reef facies here and elsewhere in this region. All three of these have a tendency to interfinger in reefal zones, and it can be difficult to differentiate one from the other.

 

Supposedly the Mississinewa can be distinguished at the base of this reef. Or so E. R. Cumings and R. R. Shrock averred in a 1926 report ("The Silurian Coral Reefs of Northern Indiana and their Associated Strata,” Papers on Geology, Geography, and Archaeology 36).

 

Designated a National Natural Landmark back in 1986, this site offers the visitor willing to scramble up to its summit a wonderful view of the great, megaflood-scoured Wabash Valley. And underfoot there's the rather thin-bedded, slabby, and flaggy carbonate bedrock, which varies from limestone to dolostone. The latter of these, being somewhat less reactive, probably has contributed, along with the harder reefal texture, to the survival of the southern side of this hill.

 

Photos to follow, taken in 1993, 2001, and 2007, will show different aspects of this locale, including a shot or two of the good ol' Wabash at flood stage.

 

Addendum: A few days after writing this post I got my paws on the Geological Society of America Field Guide No. 56, Ancient Oceans, Orogenic Uplifts, and Glacial Ice. It contains a field-trip writeup, "The Maumee Megaflood and the Geomorphology, Environmental Geology, and Silurian–Holocene History of the Upper Wabash Valley and Vicinity, North-central Indiana," (Anthony H. Fleming et al., 2018).

 

The Fleming paper provides a good modern synthesis of research on both the Maumee Megaflood and the significance and stratigraphy of Hanging Rock. It divides the latter into three rock units, from bottom to top:

 

- Dolomitic siltstone resembling the Mississinewa Member; this was laid down before the reef began to form.

 

- Layers of dolomitic and calcitic siltstone that alternate with thin, fossiliferous, and southwestward-dipping strata of limestone resembling the Liston Creek Member.

 

- Hard, massive caprock of dolomitic limestone that also dips southwestward. According to this source, it's this section that most resembles true reef core, but it too was probably part of the reef's southern flank.

 

This will be stratigraphy I'll use in future Hanging Rock posts.

 

You'll find the other photos and descriptions of this series in my Ancient Reefs & Bioherms of Indiana album.

Here's another picture of me and every book I finished reading in 2015. I tried to get down to their level. (Some of the books were on my Kindle, so the stack should be a little higher. Also, there are links to the podcasts I did with the authors of many of them.)

Quite a drastic difference a few months can make, as just there months ago the lake was still frozen with plenty of ice fisherman. Seemingly we have skipped over spring (as it's now officially summer) and jumped to the dog days. Long afternoons with humid muggy temperatures leave me wondering if I should jump into the lake.

 

As I was enjoying the sunset, I saw couple gazing attempting to take a selfie. Struggling mightily, I ventured over and with the camera in my hands; it was made apparent that I was able to take a photo for them. Clicking a couple frames with a little mirror-less camera was quite different for me, I then offered to take one with my camera. I smiled as I told them the bench they were sitting on freezes over in the winter months.

 

As they spoke very broken (but good) English, I asked them if they would be in Madison for long. Unfortunately only for two weeks as she (the girl) was in town for a conference. I told them that they should come back in the winter for a real treat, smiling I was informed that in Singapore (where they are from) is subtropical. Which means essentially they have a rainy season and a warm season but there is no *cold* season. Extending out a business card so that they could email me to get a copy of their photo, I expressed to look around on my Flickr page to get a feel for life in Madison.

 

It was at this moment I realized without even knowing it, I was having a perfect moment for the 100 strangers group here on Flickr. I reached into my bag to grab a pen/my notebook to write their names down (as I'd left my phone at home charging for the night). No pen was to be found and neither had a pen on them, thus hoping that I would be able to remember the names. Sadly I have not, and maybe soon enough I will receive an email upon their arrival back home. Until now, these two perfect strangers are still but strangers to me in some respect.

This landmark has really grown on me; here's the Wiki writeup.

Quote by Giacomo Leopardi from Zibaldone Scelto

  

Couple of days back, in the Hyderabad airport, I was awaiting my bus to the city; a 45 minutes wait. I went to the lobby for a bite; that's when I noticed this little missy, bubbling with energy, running here and there; laughing.

 

I really wanted to take her picture; but was afraid of what her parents might say; around 40 minutes I was loitering around, thinking on and on. At last, when there was 5 minutes, I mustered all the courage I could and approached her elders. They gladly accepted! Her mom started grooming her hair and asked her to look at the camera (which she didn't listen to ;). I requested not to disturb her and leave her as is.

 

All this while, she didn't even notice me. I'm sure she didn't understand what I was doing with a big black box pointed @ her; she was lost in her own world. After the shot, I got an e-mail ID from her parents and rushed back to catch the bus @ the last minute.
