Thanks for all the great photos of this magnificent animal. I have been around many of them and have always enjoyed their character.

Funny story: a friend owned one, "Newman," who was exactly like your description of this animal. Until......one day a neighbor's cow broke a fence and intruded into my friends front yard. Friend, being used to just letting the dog go out to for bowel and bladder clearing, but without a leash, was a shocked as the dog to see the cow in the yard. Friend:..."It was if Newman became possessed; I had never seen him move so fast." Newman latched onto the cow's nose and went for a wild ride that went on for several minutes. Friend:..."The cow was waving Newman around in the air violently; Newman was not letting go for any reason." Both the cow and Newman came out of it OK. Once Newman was off the cow, he went right back to being the normal, docile Newman.

Thanks again for the shots.

Best,

Wayne

That's wonderful Wayne! I'd read that the dog now called the English bulldog bears little genetic heritage from the original bull baiting beasts, but evidently Newman had not heard that, and every dog has his day!. I'd love one, but I suspect they would fail at the main task I'd want a dog for, being carting my Linhof, lenses and tripod on long hikes.

Some photos my father took in Holland in the 50s. These weren't tourist "costumes" at the time. These were typical clothes for the time. Love looking at this stuff. My mother between the two young girls. Marken, Holland. Leica IIIG, either 50mm Elmar or Canon Serenar 35mm lenses, pre-Kodachrome Kodak slide film. Edited November 22, 2020 by crf59

This one is some kind of work cart. My father had notes that the brick around the harbor area was part of the restoration after the war. I don't think Marken was bombed or damaged, I think it was some form of stimulus aid.

And if you are a car fan like me, this is some sort of high end Daimler from the 50s in London. Note the side panels on the car. Leica M3, 50mm Summicron, Kodak pre-Kodachrome slide film.

Gulp, how utterly galactic, Slipher completely off my radar, redshifted and all! I am always learning something new on LUF, so thank you for shining your flashlight into the cosmos, I have only a couple of AA batteries in my little flashlight, so my work with Newton Outtake is hardly esoteric. Again, I'm dealing with work that looks at the construction of photography, what is seen and what is implied. As an outtake, Newton's nonetheless (so presumptuous), this piece is a flawed remnant, a discard. It's haphazard sketch of a work that is unrealized. There is only the jumbled spectrum that isn't a spectrum of white light. Perhaps dialogue with Goethe, as Christoph suggests, would be fruitful. But here it is. Colorful ribbon scraps of color on the margins of gray nothingness, though there is the ancestry of flesh here, gray moving toward Mary Shelley's animation. This can be excused, though, at last, as the scrap of an idea, a fragment that can only suggest a narrative thread to give it an imaginative life. There were seven scraps that led to this scrap. All outtakes. Residue.

Rog, sorry for pushing my phantasy about the color ribbons onto you. The color ribbons just reminded me of spectra of light--not necessarily of white light. And as Slipher did the fundamental work of analyzing the spectra of planets etc  with photographic means, your work clicked that button... sorry.

But in the end--I find it interesting how much  the intention of the artist and the perception of the viewer can differ. Is that a good thing ? Are we allowed to release our works of art into the world--as if they were  kids that have come of age and now must find their way on their own ?  I try  to do so-- but don't succeed all the time...

Wayne, even the smallest of the dog breeds have a part in their brain were they still are wolves....or so it seems.😲

Please don't misunderstand me; I didn't take umbrage with your interpretation, at all, but rather I am delighted with your reading, the fact that it invited your creative response. For me, the fun of playing in this sandbox of abstraction is that it invites pushing the sand this way and that, so there's not necessarily one "correct" response that is in line with the artist's intention. That's when I think photographs here are really working as an invitation to share in a perspective that may not have even been intended but is the reflection of intuition. We appreciate that what is left out can be as significant as what is included. Now, back to Edward Albee's The Sandbox.
