I really like this because it keeps my eyes bouncing around looking for meaning and understanding. I see what seems like a squinting angry-looking clown in the cloud, with a dark Einstein hairdo and a Mickey Mouse nose :) 

Your creative mind is always in overdrive! I was thinking of an alternative title for this Armageddon: “Three Stripes and You’re Out.“

Forgive me, but painterly voices where Pollock in the foreground meets Rothko in the background, whisper from the back room, and yet, your abstract realism has a distinct tone of its own. These seemingly simple square compositions have a complex sense of depth.

Thank you Rog, for pointing out to Pollock-I wasn't aware of the pollockish pattern. It´s interesting how overarching visual concepts finding their way and surface --masterly as in Pollock or more amateurish as in "shrubs at the riverbank". The other thing is: We only see what we know... so having seen Pollock, recognizing the pattern and linking the patterns  is a very elaborate cognitive performance.  I wasn't thinking about Pollock at that moment, it just tickled my retina...

Implosion---or more like an explosion..?  Great.

Looks like rather uninviting razor wire :) really nice Klaus.

 

Thank you Philip. It´s interesting how your and Rogs perception of the shrubs at the riverbank point to the same, well known fact that the past, or should I say our visual biography and library interfere  with what we see:   You see razor wire, Rog Pollock and me the Clematis vitalba..

This is a mini project that's been on my mind for a while — books. I thought of making a separate thread about it, for film photos only of course, but then I realised that it is in this thread that film truly lives at LUF, so I post this photo here. If you have difficulty reading the backs, here's the the original scan.

You might recognise some books that have been mentioned in this thread in the past. If there are three things I love to buy it is 1) flight tickets, 2) wine and whisky, 3) film and books. So many really interesting books have been mentioned in this thread in the past that I just can't keep up but occasionally I'll buy one that seems particularly interesting. I'm also a bit strange (possibly) in that I prefer to buy old, used books where I can. I see it a bit like charity, to give a trusty book a new lease on life and support all the sellers, antiquarians etc who keep them available for posterity.

Perhaps someone else wants to play along and photograph their books, individually, on the shelf etc? Let your imagination roam free :D

Interesting, Philip. Some overlapping with my shelf, but not so much. And thank you for sharing.   My question would be: if you had to choose ten books to move to your next home, what books would you take ?

I love this. The poetry of the mundane.

MP, Summarit 35; Acros II, D 76

Nice tonal range! 

I've yet to try Acros ii, the original was my favourite film for years.  I still have a few rolls of original Acros 35mm and 120 left, I should do a comparison with Acros ii.

I cheer the "Tickled Retina Club," too! Bravo!

Nice, and welcome back to the world of real photography!

Thanks - it is just a few days short of a year that my M10M arrived and proved to be very seductive!  So much so that this is the first roll of film through my M7 since then - and my R5 and 503CX are feeling very neglected.  I occasionally give them a little pat and whisper "soon, soon..." ;)
