"Become" can also mean to suit or flatter, which changes the meaning
rather dramatically.

Morning, Toine. Delicate sweet shot.
If I may, for a clean simpler shot, suggest cropping prox 1/3 off the left side

portrait balance.

Tried that and I somehow prefer a crop like this. It makes the

Thanks, Jack. I’ve been using Flickr as a place to publish images that are 
decent photographically but that are of interest primarily for other reasons, 
e.g., as a record of a family gathering or, as in this case, documenting 
wildflowers encountered on a hike. So my albums are a mixed bag. I’m thinking 
it may be time to start another account for just publishing images that are 
more than decent photographically.

In that connection, and perhaps I should make this a new topic, I wonder if 
it’s possible to import images from one Flickr account to another.

Thanks, Belunt. That’s helpful. The portrait example was done with Photoshop. 
The landscape example doesn’t say. I’m wondering if Photoshop is required or if 
it’s possible to do something like this in Lightroom.

My bird book describes this as a "Great Egret." (I'm not judging my own stuff.)

I don't find it attractive either, but it's not my place to criticize

Re: GESO: Julian High, 1975 to 1980

Excellent collection of photos, thanks also for sharing the story behind 
them.  The problems facing urban schools in particular (and to a degree 
all American schools) are huge and beyond the scope of any one person to 
solve, but individuals, especially teachers, can still contribute to the 
growth of the students and your photos clearly show that positive 
process at work. Looking forward to seeing more scans.

I taught English Lit and Composition at a very special place called Percy L. 
Julian High School from 1975 to 1980. Prior to my years at Julian I had been 
teaching at one of the worst schools in Chicago — Austin High School —  a West 
Side school that had gone from 100% white to 100% black in a few years. The 
administration  and the largely white staff didn’t know what to do, the school 
was out of control and on fire frequently and, at one point, the National Guard 
had to be called in. In 1975 the federal government mandated faculty 
integration, meaning that if you were a white teacher at a school that had too 
many white teachers  and you wanted to transfer to a school that had too many 
black teachers, they had to allow you to apply for a position. I had heard 
about Julian. It was an all-black school on the south side of Chicago. It 
wasn’t a white school that had re-segregated but rather a brand new school that 
a prosperous middle class black community had fought for. I applied, the 
principal approved it, and the largely black staff welcomed me and several 
other Austin teachers with open arms.

I had some great classes and some wonderful kids at Julian. I taught Honors 
English 3 and a special double-period Humanities class. The kids and I went to 
the Chicago Symphony, the opera and a number of theatrical presentations. We 
had a great marching band, majorettes and cheerleaders. All in the mid 70s when 
the white kids in the suburban schools were thumbing their noses at those kind 
of things. We also had a fabulous football team, and in 1979 we became the 
first public school in almost 20 years to win a city championship over the 
predominantly white catholic league schools.

I documented much of my time at Julian on film. I have several thousand 
transparencies and BW negs that I shot during those five happy years. I’ve just 
begun scanning some of them. I started with that 1979 football championship, 
but I have many more that I will eventually scan.

In March of 1980 I was offered a job in New York at Hearst Magazine Division. 
The Chicago Board of Education had run out of money and had stopped paying the 
teachers. We were on the picket line when I got the call. I crossed the line, 
walked into the office to turn in my resignation on Thursday afternoon, March 
7, 1980 and flew to New York the next morning. I still feel guilty. Today, 
Julian is still somewhat better than the other Southside Chicago High Schools, 
but the magic is largely gone.  The entire south side of Chicago  is a mess. 
The gangs are in control, and kids are shot on the street every day. A number 
of Julian kids have been killed on their way home from school. It’s had for me 
to imagine. It’s heartbreaking.

Here are the first of my Julian scans. The way it was 40 years ago.

I like it as is. You might want to burn in the highlights and (maybe) 
midtones on everything behind her spine - mostly the guy behind her and 
the highlight on her bar stool. That reduces the distraction but 
preserves the atmosphere. I'd leave the bottom of the frame as is as the 
empty stool next to her adds to the mood.

Thanks Mark. I still had a lot to learn about both teaching and photography in 
those days, but I was working on it. All of the football pics were shot with my 
Vivitar  200/3,5. I hadn't yet destroyed the front element. That would come 
later while shooting drag racing and continuously cleaning molten rubber and 
bits of asphalt off the lens with my T-shirt. The lens, now held together with 
duct tape, occupies a place of honor in my camera display case.

Re: Peso-Great Egret

[Jack Davis]

Thanks for comments, Dan. I see a hint of what might be perceived as a blur 
along the lower back just above the very dark lower
tail area. When pulled up, it's clearly a bit of mating plumage. Is that the 
area your identifying?
If not, please give me some further location comments.
Thanks!

Re: June PUG is up!!

[Darren Addy]

I had to go back and look at the June PUG again after all the comments
about Ken's "The Lake - Lake Superior". It is indeed an image worthy
of the kudos. When converting it to digital I believe I would have
done a slight image rotation to correct the vertical lines. Similarly,
I thought Jack Davis' "Tahoe Silhouette" is a fetching image with my
only niggle being that the distant shoreline seems a bit off level.

Re: June PUG is up!!

[Jack Davis]

By golly you're right, Darren. I just checked and found the left edge (at the 
frame) to be nearly 1/32" lower. ;-))
I do feel that the cloud line contributes a bit to the effect. (?)
Thanks for your generous comments!

Re: Favorite June Pug

[Ken Waller]

I enjoy visiting the U.P. in late June - the days are very long given the 
northern latitude and the blackfly season is usually winding down or maybe 
even over.


I did a 6 day workshop last June, at the beginning of the month, and had the 
worst experience with mosquitoes that I've ever had - this includes numerous 
trips to Alaska (where the mosquitos are so big, some claim they are the 
state bird) & probably 40 or so trip to the U. P. The mosquitoes were so bad 
I had to use the shelter of a car to change lens & on several occasions the 
swarm was so bad it changed the exposure on a given scene. But, there were 
no blackflies, which I feel are far worse than mosquitos - they can leave 
nasty welts. The tics were as bad as I've ever experienced - even tho I was 
fully clothed and 'sealed up' I had to do full body scans when I was done 
for the day.


In spite of the issue with bugs, I really enjoy the many aspects of the U P. 
year round.

As for the cold weather - we visited Skanee in June, 2001 and had temps 
over 100F. The local paper said that L'Anse (the nearest actual town) hit 
105F and was hotter than Phoenix, AZ that particular day.  But then we 
visited Grand Marais in July, 2011 and nights dropped into the 30's with a

I really like the first one - immediately brought to mind Harry

unbroken sea of dried leaves. You got the spring version. I also really 
like the moody lighting and the very deep green. Not in your post but

PESO ~ Those eyes

[Bruce Walker]

A favourite of the model, Dorrie. NSFW.

http://off-axis.brucemwalker.com/image/120774906122

This almost didn't happen. I accidentally shot it 4 stops underexposed
(I adjusted the light for f:4 but I forgot to adjust the K-3's
aperture -- d'oh!). I passed over it in Lightroom and almost marked it
for deletion as it was just a black frame. But I looked more closely
and saw some faint detail. Dragged up the exposure slider and ... well
what have we here? In fact it was the best of a short sequence of
upper body shots! And it is the model's favourite.

Lesson: never delete nothin'.

K-3, DA* 55/1.4, f:11 (!), 1/100th sec, ISO 100.
Light is Paul C Buff Einstein strobe with PCB seven foot Extreme
Silver PLM (parabolic) umbrella, camera-right.

"Those Eyes"?  What eyes?  I hardly noticed them.  

A pleasing and attractive portrait that shows her assets off to good
effect.  No wonder she likes it.

Re: PESO: Golden Lamps

[Richard Dell]

The New Post Office, completed in 1934,
renamed the Ariel Rios Federal Building in 1985,
now the William Jefferson Clinton Federal Building (in 2013)

Supposedly some nice WPA murals inside, and a great spiral staircase.

I wonder if those lamps are not gilt, but copper and not yet aged green, 
to match

other lamps I see in architectural pictures.

It's also that I find it interesting dating when a picture was taken by
cultural changes. I seem to have missed when the odd tattoo on an arm became
replaced often with artwork covering the whole arm - and maybe only one arm
etc.

Smoking in public is another; I can look at pictures taken locally and
notice the changes. Up until the late 80s you often saw most people smoking
in public and that has reduced to a rare instance now - and nine out of ten
times, it will be a woman in 2015, at least around here.

Financial indicators of the times. I've used the skip observation before (or
whatever builders call the large metal container to remove waste from
projects where you are), but in 'good times', they are replaced regularly,
filled with all sorts of things that look hardly used. I can remember at one
point in 1974 it was rare to see one on the streets with money for work
tight, and those skips were almost impossible to fill, as others found use
for what was put in it, almost as soon as it went in!

Getting back to the picture, it's that curiosity of how this will be looked
at in say, 2035? Will people be able to date it roughly - 'Ah yes, that sort
of body art was popular up until the early 2020s?'.

Re: June PUG is up!!

[Dario Bonazza]

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for liking that pic & all that photo stuff with Giulia.

Holding out... true. Well, in fact lately I use to post my pics either on 
Facebook or on Flickr, but Facebook is Facebook and Flickr is Flickr, so 
there will be more than someone disliking that. Also, my new (cheap) website 
structure only allows low-res pics like these:

http://www.dariobonazza.com/musica_16.html
http://www.dariobonazza.com/danza_14.html
In brief, I'm afraid I'm not set to show you my pics in a way there won't be 
someone asking for another better way to do that.


On the other hand, in the past I had the feeling my pics didn't raise so 
much interest here, hence I didn' care so much and I was content enough to 
keep posting to the PUG.


However, now I'm going to start a new thread explaining my project with 
Giulia.


Cheers,

Dario

G'day all

A bit of a slow start but a rush of submissions in the last day or two
boosted the number of images to 23.  A great effort.

As usual - difficult to pick favourites but I think Rick's 'Moonlight' 
takes

the prize (not that there is one...).

I also really like Ken's 'Lake Superior', Ann's 'Hawley Lake', Eric's 
'Blue

Pond' and Christine's "Lake Michigan'.

You'll find the gallery here:

http://pug.komkon.org/

(you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous gallery
there).

Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not
infallible.  So, if you made a submission and you don't see it in the
gallery, let me know.

Next up is the annual 'Open Gallery'.  No hold's barred - any topic you 
like

provided, of course, that the usual condition of either the camera or lens
being Pentax is met.

Full Submissions Guidelines here:

http://pug.komkon.org/general/autosubmit.html

You can submit here:

http://pug.komkon.org/submit/

Nominal closing date is 30 June.
