I'll second Robb's explanation. San Francisco in the 60s. One of my good friends, an amazing artist, at that time using gesso and Rapidographs of the smallest wire, was drawing complex miniature scenes on poster board that at first and from a distance seemed to be a portrait, or a Haight street scene. Once you stepped in and studied it, you became enthralled in the internal goings on. He has since moved on, and grown into painting, sculpture, studied in France and God knows where else. He never went to school after high school. After failing as a real estate magnate (never started) and drug distributor, he never had another job. Everything was his art, and being social enough to the right people who would buy his works, or send him on his way to travel and paint, sculpt, etc.. I stopped by his studio some 20 years ago when I was in San Francisco for MacWorld, thinking how great it would be to catch up after a long absence. Found him working on the largest piece of jade I'd ever seen (could have been something similar, but he told me jade) that a woman had shipped to him to do with as he saw fit for her. He had fashioned it generally as the bust of a Roman warrior, wearing a helmet with a crest that was tall in front, small at the back. The crest consisted of a dozen elephants, each one smaller than the one in front. Each was topped with the large, covered hathi howdah the Maharaja would use, the drapings from that were detailed in bas-relief. Inside of each was a person sitting on a supported pillow. The person was about 1/2 inch tall and smaller, but had details on the face of a nose, eyes, mouth, and topped with a hat. The rest of the helmet was similarly detailed, as was what showed of his garment. The skin was smooth and flawless. As I remarked on the piece, Jim blasted me with a long tirade about how I had graduated from art school, but had wasted my talents by working for "the man", learning about technology, a turncoat to the art world, a useless turd on the face of the earth. Followed by, "Get out!". That sound like a true artist? http://www.artwithin.com/art/d0/a19/ He used to be on Facebook. Not there anymore. I don't know if he is still alive.

And, thanks Doug for pointing me at the presets. I realize how foolish it is that I haven't even tried them out yet.

Re: Q design "validated" by Nikon's entry?
The big problem was in the instructions of paper placement. I clearly remember teachers telling us to turn the paper so the top of the paper is pointed toward the upper left corner of our desks.

HCB had trouble getting things in focus. That's okay, because he worked in an entirely different genre than Adams. But his critique is simply bullshit. Evidence of a small mind and a big ego.

Blur in the mallets, sharp everywhere else. The title is OK if you're going for abstract, but in the trade, they are known as percussionists, which actually refers to any musician who is practiced in the art of whacking things with hand or sticks. Those instruments in your photograph are called Timpani, a plural noun, though kettledrums have always been in use in many languages. Even the dictionary uses kettledrums in it's definition. And one who specializes in playing the Timpani is a Timpanist. Sort of like calling a Marine a Jarhead though, ya know. When I was a percussionist in various bands and orchestras, I was often the timpanist in the orchestra. But I was tone deaf, so any change of pitch that I had to do during a performance saw me with a pitch pipe in one hand, my ear inches from the head, lightly tapping with my mallet, or finger, until they seemed to match. Usually I played a peddle timpani, though not all of the drums in front of me were peddle tuned. Those that had to be pre-tuned with 8 or 12 tuning pegs were used at the ends of the series in front of the player. Depending on the demands of the score, even those had to be bumped up or down during a lull in the work. Again, more than most wanted to know, for the few that do.

My wife, who is a lefty, had to write with a fountain pen through her first few years in school. She said she'd come home ink stained, and that she sometimes had to start an assignment over after smearing it. Her older brother, on the other hand (no pun intended), was beat with a yardstick until he learned to write with his right hand.

Of course, the whole lomography thing really > confuses what we think of as serious photography. I can think of a couple of ways to define serious photography. The first one would be someone that not only takes photographs, but who puts time and effort into improving their craft, so that they get better at taking the photographs that they intend to. I suspect that most people on this list define serious photography as someone who takes photographs that they happen to like. So for one person Adams did serious photography and HCB didn't, and another it's the other way around. Frankly, I think too many people have a big stick up their ass about what photos other people take and what they use to take them. I don't care whether Pentax makes some camera that I have no need for, or interest in, I care whether they stay in business and make the gear that I want to buy. If they take risks in designing and marketing new systems, it might hurt their bottom line, but if they don't take risks, there will be nothing to differentiate them and no reason for people to buy their cameras rather than those of the big name brands. And, while you may not think that point and shoots matter, I was recently talking to a high schooler who was interested in learning more about photography and he told me that he wanted Canon gear because when he used Canon point and shoots, they were easier for him to use than Nikon point and shoots. So, not only do people make choices on the entry level line based on the flagships, they make choices on the luxury line based on the economy models. I suspect that brand loyalty, or at least habit, goes deeper than any of us suspect, and a transition path from point and shoot all of the way up to 645D is important. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO: Happiness is a Warm Kea
Back in my days in NZ while in the Navy I went up a mountain near Blenheim with friend. He had a Range Rover and I figured we would be good to go. Well, we got stuck in some deep rotten snow and had to dig ourselves out. While we were doing so a Kea came up to us and we were amazed at how tame he/she was, seemingly. It was very curious at everything we did, even jumping on the shovel as if to help. It never got aggressive, nor was it a nuisance really, just persistent!

Re: Q design "validated" by Nikon's entry?
Press down too hard and tear right through the paper. From: John Francis They make left-handed nibs, but that doesn't address the fundamental problem that as you write, your hand moves across the paper. If you write with your left hand this means the hand holding the pen smears the freshly-applied and still wet ink. Ball-point pens (and fine point ones, at that) solve that problem.

I'm not sure about this. When i was young, there weren't that many folks shooting period because film and processing cost money.

Re: Q design "validated" by Nikon's entry?
They make left-handed nibs, but that doesn't address the fundamental problem that as you write, your hand moves across the paper. If you write with your left hand this means the hand holding the pen smears the freshly-applied and still wet ink. Ball-point pens (and fine point ones, at that) solve that problem.

Thanks Bob! I've done that before too, but I'd never made a zone plate that way which worked particularly well. The Skink setup is a kit with a nicely-made, machined carrier for pinhole/zone plate disks. The disks surrounding the refracting aperture make them easy to handle and protect them from damage.

Stan's nephew's band (Blog and GESOs)
I saw Richmond Fontaine last night in Bedford and very good it was too. The band were happy for me to take photos and I had long chats with Dave (said nephew) and the music was good. Support was provided by Laura Gibson and she was good too - if a little quirky (but I like quirky). Blog with 2 pictures here: http://chrismphotouk.blogspot.com Follow the links to the GESOs. As ever, lighting was challenging - Richmond Fontaine insisted on only red lights with a little white fill so the good old B&W conversion comes into play quite a bit. Thanks to Stan for making me aware of the gig - an indication of the diverse range of things that we can get involved with as a result of being PDMLers...
