Stocking Up On.......Foods

We went to the store this morning to stock-up on food.  Hoping not to go out much during the next two weeks.  They had restocked overnight, but by 11:00 AM this morning it had been emptied again...

 Above: and it seemed like everyone had to have Pasta.......

Vegetables (above) and Meats (below) were also ravaged......

My Holga Week

My Holga Week has posed on my Fine Arts Blog.  Here is a sample:

Unfortunately I will not be participating in future Holga Weeks.  I had wanted to submit something, but could not get the link form the organizers.  After two attempts at contacting them, with no response, I'm dropping out of the process for next year..........

Last Shots for Holga Week

Just finished my second roll for Holga Week.  And oh, yeah I do have lot's of green tomatoes.  Expecting our first hard freeze in a couple of days.........

Here Comes Klondike Kate

Just got my color film back from Old School Labs.  Funny complication, they scanned my negatives backwards, so I've had to flip half of them.

But here Comes Klondike Kate on film, in color as promised.  

Links to the History of Kate.

Spring Silly: Hops and Handrails 2018

We returned to "Hops and Handrails" again this year.  If you remember we won Beer for a Year last time.

Well no such luck this year, but we returned to have a relaxing Spring day in the Sun snd enjoy what I call "Spring Silly"!

It begins with bringing snow down from the mountains to prepare for a little snow bound entertainment:

Then we move on to the Skiers and Snow Boarders.......

And saving the Best For Last.......Didn't think I had caught this shot!

And take a look back at last year.......On Film.

SolarCan Final Deployment

My mother-in-law's backyard has a clear view with no street lights.  So she got the Final Spring SolarCan:

And YES, we did remove the black tab;  but that image was out of focus.

SolarCan Deployments: Part II

Another high deployment, on our roof:

 Making Wife happy is part of the Husband job description......... 

Even if it means climbing on the roof to place a SolarCan.

Set up just before the Spring Equinox, the house SolarCans will stay up through the 

Fall Equinox to capture the Full Solstice effect.

SolarCan Deployments: Part I

I'm catching up on an old installation and showing my newest ones.  The First SolarCan actually went out in my backyard  during the winter solstice to capture the return of the sun:

 I started with the backyard because if a street light across from our front yard.  But Number two was placed above our front door in hopes of less light interference:

Hope you found something Meaningful and Special to do today!

Across the road from Friday's scene was a closed bridge that Donald was making a 4X5 image of:

Personal Vision: Making Some Choices

I've referred to the workshop I'm taking right now in previous posts. Now I'm making some decisions regarding final book/portfolio selections.

I have three versions of Ladders that I'd like to use in my final collection:

First the Original Photoshop conversion to B&W.  It's a bit out of

focus so I tried some filtering effects to compensate:

Above: Photoshop Smudge Stick Filter.

Below: Photoshop Ink Outline Filter.

I'm leaning towards the Ink Outline.......What do you think?
