I like both Antonio, but the first one with the sun on the surfboard is very special!

Daring Restaurant

The small thing on the bottom left is a restaurant.
Its wall facing the ocean is just a transparent
plastic sheet. So far so good…

 Do I see a pier with a railing on the bottom left corner ? Good luck then...

Thank you Klaus

> nice foreground-and an interesting light 

Actually, I was almost fully against the light,
I was quite unsure of the result but it came out
better than I expected.

> the clouds and the gull--very nice

I would have loved to have it in front of the brightest part
of the cloud but it did not fly that way…

Well, in this moment of the year, I can assure you it still tightens
the veins…

Yes, you can even see, 1/6 from bottom, 1/4 from left,
what is used as a diving point at high tide when the ocean
is somewhat calmer.

Amazing series, Jul.  They are all very beautiful - the first is my most favorite!  Thanks for sharing and hope to see more!

Hello all, hope you're doing well. I'm back after a longer radio silence due to travels (from which I hope to be able to post some results later this week) and now have the wonderful joy of going through 25 pages of awesome film photography  In the meantime, here's another flower macro from Gotland last year.

An interesting little read arguing that software is not the enemy of the analogue workflow when scanning replaces darkroom printing.

Thanks Steve. I'd have thought it just common sense that people would apply at least some sort of "processing" to scanned pictures, but there you go.

Went to the Aipad photo show in NY last Sunday and met and had a nice discussion with Tony Vaccaro, a noted photographer. He was holding am M3, told me how he went to Wetzler in 1953 to pick up a new camera, and he met Ernst Leitz. Ernst knew his work in Life and Look magazines and gave him an M3 to use with a lens. He was holding the same camera at the show. I said it was in great condition, he told me has had it recovered several times. Then he told me that he was scouting areas to shoot in NYC (he lives in Long Island City) in the taxi coming over. Then he said he is building a portfolio for a big show in 4 years -- his 100th birthday! I think he will make. We also talked about Omaha Beach and d-day (where my dad landed) and told me about taking pictures of so many dead soldiers. I asked if he was using a Leica, he said no, the Army gave him an Argus, made in USA...35mm ..... anyway, enough backstory, here are some pics of him (Ektachrome, R6.2, R85mm summilux)...

A wonderful meeting, Steve, and a great story. I think he'd be very pleased with your portraits of him.

Thanks! I am on the road right, but I will send them to him when I get back home (where I have his email address)

some of the big pics at the show were very life like

Fracture Red-Blue
M-A APO 50 & Thambar-M
E100

So, this started with the notion of a visual allegory for "fracture," and extending the metaphor to what a fracture implies, not simply the breaking of bone or rock strata. The fracture of society, language, relationships, systems. . . . The challenge to say this visually with two primary colors, the third fractured away, not present. Does fracture lead inevitably to erosion? Is repair implied? Just wondering?

So Vija Celmins, not Sugimoto, but totally TOXIC. Perhaps thankful ADOX didn't include the nomenclature: ATOMIC. Still got my Geiger counter, just in case.  No, I didn't say Gieger counter; that would be too alien and beyond sushi. I gotta get my Oliver Peoples sunglasses just to knock that knee-jerk squinting at this TOXIC waterscape. Still need to cast the floating girl, without the Oliver Peoples.

The backstory is so rich, begging for more, whatever you can recall, even little details of the moments. These diptychs are so lively, and the framing, so cinematic.

I posted the link to the article because I've heard one or two on here express the view that the scan should be final without any further manipulation in a software package. The equivalent darkroom technique would be to print without dodging, burning or deciding on the grade of paper.
