Furniture

Furniture, a photo by fangleman on Flickr.

Sometime around the year 1991. A small black and white TV is resting on my red Honda Hawk GT NT650. Yes, I didn't have a lot of furniture.

This was shot available light using a Nikon 4004s and a Nikkor 50mm F/1.8 lens.

This was on my car in the morning, so I pulled out the Oly 1030SW and snapped off 3 quick shots in Super Macro mode before headng to the office.

The yellow doesn't look correct, but I have a hard time adjusting it to look closer to the actual car color. [I'm a little color blind and photo editing stupid]

I have no idea what insect this is.

Power to the people!, a photo by fangleman on Flickr.

Test scan using Epson V600, with medium unsharo mask, color restoration, and medium dust removal.

Shot on 120 film in an old Zeiss Ikon.

Editing was limited to a hair of sharpening, and some dust removal.

Test scan from Brother AIO, Brother MFC-845CW. I scanned to compare to the results from the Epson V600.

Shot on 120 film in an old Zeiss Ikon.

The only editing was a small amount of sharpening and a little contrast, and a few spots of dust removal. The halo around her isn't from tonemapping. It is in the print.

Well, all reasonable men at least.


Thomas Jefferson wrote:

"All men know that War is a losing game to both parties." Nov 28, 1814

Sadly, it is often forgotton just how much can be lost.

This is a shot of the Vietnam War Memorial. I remember seeing this as a young child, and although I didn't fully appreciatte it, there was no doubt a very strong and lasting impression made upon me.

"A life of constant action...

...leaves no time for recording. Always thinking of what is next to be done, what has been dobe is dismissed and soon obliterated from memory."
- Thomas Jefferson May 11, 1819


Thomas Jefferson is known for his record taking. He recorded wind and temperature several times a day for example. He made copies of his letters, and recorded all kinds of other activity. He shared these records with others in hope of creating a national database of meteorological information.

La Galería Nacional del Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña (ICP)

I think it's a different color than the last time I was there.

Why, in a city with such abundant sunshine, are there so many outdoor lights on during the day? I like it for photography. It makes the pictures better, but what about saving the planet? I can't use incandescent light bulbs and these people leave the lights on all day? WTF?

It's just not the same, without the reflection.

I shot this one only a short time before the sun disappeared. Hand-held shot from the Lincoln Memorial, towards the Capitol Building. I could have lightened it up a little, but darker is much closer to reality.

Crushing liberties and natural rights.

Censorship sucks. Free speech is vital to the security of liberty for all people. The free movement and dissemination of ideas and information is surely just as important.

My very first spin with the Lomography Spinner 360! I'm just learning how to get the most from this camera, as well as the film scanner, so hopefully they will get better...

public esteem is so attached to worth, regardless of wealth."
Thomas Jefferson November 27, 1793

As I look around what was his country I see a certain and definable difference. Current culture is rife with misplaced esteem based on anything but worth or value of character.

Shot with a fixed focus 35mm P&S 12-30-1999. I didn't travel with a big heavy load of camera stuff back then. I think it was a Kodak brand camera, but I either tossed it out, lost it, or just plain can't find it...

This is somewhere along the CA coast in the bay area. Baker Beach maybe?

SOOC, scanned with Pandigital scanner, unedited.

Looks like I didn't like to follow comp rules back then much either...
