Three diverging moments

I’m experimenting with pushing Tri-X to 1600 and 3200 ISO (this shot is 3200). My masters final project is about a dream-like experience and I’m playing with heavy grain and the sense of fogginess it can illicit. I’ll be experimenting with double exposures as well.

This is the Barcelona Cathedral around 10am on a weekday during Semana Santa. The tourists hadn’t quite started to swarm yet (I mean, if I’m honest, at 8 months living here I’m still a tourist).

Shot on a Minolta XD-11 that used to be my father’s. 35mm lens. Probably f8 with a high-is shutter given the ISO.

Never did much with TriX but I loved pushing Ilford Delta to 1600 and beyond. Such gorgeous grain and contrast.

that's a lovely shot
robritz an hour ago
@1f2frfbf oh i should definitely try with some delta. i have delta 3200 to experiment with, but i've never pushed delta 400 (or 100). i've also been playing with harmon kentmere 400 and really like it. i usually stick with hp5+, it's very hardy when messing with chemistry.

@wjcstp thank you!

Endgame

A 3 panel comic strip: "There's no way out of this one, Dad. Check." says a kid who is dominating his Dad in chess. Dad, slyly, angles his watch to reflect a beam of light onto the board, catching the attention of a cat. In the last panel, we see the pieces scatter as the cat pounces. Dad covers his smile from his distraught child.

21st century parent hacks

Screenshot of a Reddit thread:

Confettireadi: I once booked a hotel without knowing there was a furry convention. My 3 year old was convinced we were somewhere special and was obsessed. Everytime the elevator opened up, someone else would hop on and he was beside himself with excitement. 

cassodragon: This is so unexpectedly wholesome

Confettireadi: A 3 year loudly commenting on furry costumes was a funny weekend!

cassodragon: I feel like this is a parent hack; saves a lot of money vs going to Disney, if your kid is young enough not to know the difference.

AtticusFinch2: This happened to me too! I went to a friend’s Indian wedding and at the same nice Hyatt on the Baltimore waterfront, there was a brony convention. It was a whole weekend of people in beautiful saris (many who had come over from India) mixing in the elevator with guys in hoodies wearing my little pony tails. It was the best weekend of my life.

Didn't know there was a furry con in town this weekend until I saw a thread in the local subreddit about it.

This made me go bwaaaah.

Unfortunately most of the rest of the thread is furries good! no furries bad! back and forth.

As far as I'm concerned anybody willing to walk around downtown in >85° sunny weather while wearing full-body fursuit with head enclosed in an unventilated plastic shell has earned the right to be wherever they want to be.

I wasn't very productive as the meeting was at my own studio, and I had promised to provide lunch and coffee for my six colleagues. I'd also cooked eggs, roasted zucchini and prepared salad. I felt a bit like a proper mom.

(I work for a comics festival, so they're all quite understanding when I make notes like this)

A dingy room with a yellow wall. Dominating the room is a giant metal box, the size of an enormous refrigerator or furnace. It's the greenish blue color of corroded copper. On the front of it is a round portal, revealing the head of a flaming figure inside. The figure is a fiery orange with blazing yellow eyes. There are a few controls and lights on the front of the box. Numerous pipes, the same color as the box, lead out of the box and up to the ceiling. To the right of the box is a door with a red triangle on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

That’s a conscious choice of the BBC style guide. https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsstyl...

“Where you would normally say the abbreviation as a string of letters - an initialism - use all capitals with no full stops or spaces (eg FA, UNHCR, NUT). However, our style is to use lower case with an initial cap for acronyms, where you would normally pronounce the set of letters as a word (eg Aids, Farc, Eta, Nafta, Nasa, Opec, Apec).”
Argie pro an hour ago
@bezt oh wow, today I learned, I did not know this, but I have seen Aids written that way so I'ts not totally new I guess. I'm thinking having NASA up on signage, logos etc is why I assume it should always be like that.
bezt pro 48 minutes ago
@Argie NASA has their own style and design guides, as modified by the whims and dictats of the present management. I think it’s mostly GPO for text. https://www.govinfo.gov/collecti...

The BBC styling is definitely a choice, probably not one I agree with, but at least the Beeb is consistent about it.

Close-up photo of the manufacturer's tag on a blue towel that's long become faded and yellowed. Prominently in the middle: "Sears Our Better Quality". On one side is wash instructions, on the other is the fabric composition: 100% cotton for the face, 50% cotton and polyester for the base. Whatever that means. You can tell it's old because its Sears logo was retired in 1984.

I miss the days when retailers like Sears branded their own consumer products by practical rankings: Good, Better and Best, usually. These days they're more like Supreme, Excellent, Superior or something.

These were never actually great for their primary purpose of towelling water off things. As insulating liners for the cooler we keep in the car for groceries, they're fantastic.

cwhartman pro 20 hours ago
I miss Sears. When I was a kid, my dad worked in Sears service fixing TVs, appliances, HVAC, computers and various other things over the years, so we got an employee discount and shopped there a lot. I also worked at a Sears Hardware for a few years in college. It was amazing how much customer loyalty Sears had.

You could definitely see the cracks starting to form and a lot of mismanagement as the years went on, even before the idiotic K-Mart merger and Eddie Lampert decided to strip the company for parts. They can and should have been Amazon, with all the catalog and distribution infrastructure in place, but got out of the mail order business just in time for the internet to take off.
ardgedee pro 20 hours ago
@cwhartman My dad was a lifelong Sears stan. I have boxes of old Craftsman tools to prove it, and could have had several times as many except even the Craftsman name couldn't keep some of their power tools from being crap.

Lampert was the worst thing to happen to the company. A bully and utter incompetent whose only virtue was to prove how robust his predecessors had made the company, by how long it took him to finally destroy it through mismanagement and appalling decisionmaking.
cwhartman pro 19 hours ago
@ardgedee I stocked up on tools when I worked at Sears Hardware, most of which I still have. One of the nice quirks of their inventory system was that after items were discontinued for a certain amount of time (I think one year), inventory was zeroed out. Managers were supposed to destroy any stock found at that point.

What happened instead was a savvy, poorly paid employee could dig through dusty boxes of stock, or check things on the shelf that seemed neglected to look for anything zeroed out. Managers would do the right thing and sell to store employees (we'd all get one of whatever it was) for a token cheap amount ($1-$5) rather than trash it. It could have been a way to get employees to actually work stock, but I'm not sure that level of sophistication was in play.

Most of the power tools were indeed trash, I tried to steer customers who actually use their tools towards just about anything else.

@cwhartman In the 60s, when my dad was building out his workshop, Sears's TOTL power tools were built by Delta, Porter-Cable, etc... people collect 'em now because they're cheap (relative to new equipment) and still run great.

Those weren't the ones my dad got. He usually purchased at the "good" or "better" tier.
dad 15 hours ago
@cwhartman My first adultin' job was at Sears, and it felt like progress when I went from working parts in the auto center to a job in the credit department in the early 80's, but what was going on was a big consolidation, the "promotion" I got was because they closed down 6 other reginal offices and we just lucked out getting the new office.
I moved on to other things after awhile but of course that office was also closed later and you know how the story ends.
