Whoops. I ignored my blog again. I got a new scanner, as I've mentioned, and have started up a couple of projects scanning family photos and my vintage photo collection, so pretty much all my time has been sucked up by that. If you are interested in vintage photos, feel free to follow the link to my Flickr photostream and have a look. I've only just started posting the images, and there's a good amount to see already, but the pile will definitely get bigger.
I do have some blog posts in mind though - just haven't started them; I'll have to get those together. And SoFoBoMo has started, but I neither have a start date for myself nor an idea of what to do. The latest I can start is very late June (or certainly no later than July 1), in order for my 31-day project to fall within the time frame. I have been (besides scanning) also building some homemade lensless cameras, so maybe if I get my act together I'll do something pinhole-y or zone plate-y with them. Hmmm...two SoFoBoMo books in a row with nothing sharply focused - can you stand it?
35 onfocused photos is better than one unfocused photographer. I can definitely stand it.
ReplyDeleteI liked the movement and feel in this picture, it reminds me of that I should lie down in the grass and relax, rather than running after photos or book ideas. They will come to me, if it is meant to be.
"35 onfocused photos is better ..."
ReplyDeleteHah, I'll keep that in mind, Ove. :) It's funny how I find my focus by losing focus, isn't it?
By all means spend lots of time lolling in the grass, it's a tonic for sure. I still think you need to go document that crumbling windmill, and it might be enough for a book. At the very least, I'd love to see more of what you can get at that windmill site.
Hm, yeah, that might be something I'd like to do. I will make prints that I can give to the owners, images from the last time I were there. That might open up for a good interview, too.... As said, hm....
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see this clearly! :-)
ReplyDeleteI tell you, Deb, with my eyesight deteriorating with age, I sure would like to see clearly too! Used to be a time that I chose to make blurry pictures; now I think I should "embrace the blur" for a whole new set of (realistic, age-appropriate) reasons... :)
