RE: PESO: Cafe du Gaz

[jcoyle]

Try walking 10 minutes away from, for example, the Champs-Elysées, and you 
should be able to find a very good meal at a bistro or restaurant (sometimes 
labelled 'resto').  I have had some memorable meals at such places: choose the 
ones where ou will get the last table, they're the ones the locals go to!

Yes, I realize that.  On our first trip to Paris, I found it very difficult to 
get anything for lunch except ham and cheese or cheese and ham sandwiches.  We 
had some great dinners at nice restaurants, but the lunches were all ham and 
cheese.  At the Eiffel Tower snack bar, they sold only cheeseburgers and hot 
dogs, with pommes frites.  I saw "sausage" on the menu, so I ordered it.  It 
was baloney in the shape of a hot dog on a hot dog roll.

In Normandy, the lunches were much better.  There, they make great crepes for 
lunch, unlike the tasteless ones offer in Paris.

Two of the greatest meals I ever had were dinners at Parisian restaurants, but 
for lunch one might as well go to McDonald's.

Sorry, Ralf.  Parisian lunches suck;  all ham and cheese.  Elsewhere in
France is quite different.

Just our of curiosity, we checked out a Parisian grocery once.  They had
special racks with a separate indentation for each apple or peach.  I
noticed a sign indicating a restaurant upstairs.  I climbed the stairs to
look, and noticed several tables of businessmen in suits and ties.  I
convinced my wife to go up there and give it a try, and it was the most
wonderful dinner we ever had, with menu items I had never imagined before.
I can't recall the name of the grocery, but I understand it is still there
but no longer operates that restaurant.

Next time you go to France, stay away from the tourist hotspots and
look for brasseries or restaurants advertising their Plat du Jour. This
is where the French go during their lunch break. You won't be disappointed.

Cafes in France usually aren't restaurants. They may serve sandwiches or
toasts like the eternal Croque Monsieur but no meals. That's what

PESO: Cafe du Gaz

[Ralf R Radermacher]

There was a time when mains gas was the epitome of progress and modern
comfort. The Cafe du Gaz in Calais, France, was right next to the town's
gas works in the Rue du Gaz.

Like many small cafes it has been closed years ago and converted into a
dwelling.

Now that you mention it, I haven't had single one in weeks. Here, it's
mostly the guys and gals from the 'Windows Service Department' with
their silly attempts to get me to install something that will let them
steal my passwords.

PESO 2020 - 078, 079, 080

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Yesterday my time was absorbed for most of the day with some paperwork and 
phone calls, and it was a chilly day with gusty winds. So I finally got out for 
an isolation walk around 4:00pm. I carried the Polaroid SLR670a with color film 
in it and made three exposures in my hour and a half walk...

Tree & Fence – Santa Clara 2020 :: https://flic.kr/p/2iSS86A

All with: Polaroid SLR670a + Polaroid Originals 600 Color. 
Shooting with a Polaroid is so different from using almost any other kind of 
camera. :D

Crappy cell phone selfie



Interesting how everything over your left shoulder appears to be in sharp focus.

I have a bunch of selfies from the first time I tried to take a photo with my 
iPhone. Somehow I managed to get it switched to the front camera & took about a 
dozen selfies trying to figure out how to switch it back.


The critter I was trying to photograph ran away before I figured it out, so I 
never did get a photo of it.

I'm even getting fewer nuisance calls from tele-marketers.

Sometimes when I take the dog out at night it's so quiet it's eerie.

We can keep the windows open on the street side, all day, in the very
city centre. No noise, no car exhausts, no fumes from all the restaurant
kitchens.

This morning, I've heard a bird sing so charmingly, it was almost
unreal. No idea what it was, but I hadn't heard this particular kind
here in many years.

It is indeed beautiful, if only it weren't for all the wrong reasons.

I don’t think they would help with this. They are not individualised. I just 
did the test on the supplier’s website and it said ‘strong red/green colour 
blindness’, which I know of course, and recommended a particular range which 
are supposedly good for people with weak, medium or strong red/green 
colourblindness. I don’t see how that could bring every wearer’s colour vision 
up to some reference standard, which is what would be required for critical 
colour work.

Something that might work, if it were possible, would be the equivalent of 
digital hearing aids. My hearing tests provide a profile of my hearing shown as 
a graph of the differences from a reference hearing standard. The hearing aids 
are programmed to receive the sound from the world and change them based on my 
individual profile so that they enter my ears at the level of the reference 
standard.

Non-digital hearing aids simply amplify everything, which is very crude. These 
glasses appear to be something similar to analogue hearing aids.

That's a pretty good result for a proof sheet! 

The film rebate is usually the best reference because you know it should be 
clear film … thereby white if considered a positive, invert to pure black in 
the actual positive. :)

Fun stuff, I'm glad to see how you're progressing with this technique. It's a 
nice time savings to getting an reasonable index print so you know where to go 
for finish capture. 

(Yes, I don't know how you'd do finish rendering on color work if you're color 
blind. I can imagine some numerical analyses, but …!! )

onwards!

Hi,

Yes, I thought the version from yesterday was ok.

Earlier today I re-did it using the rebate, and I think it’s better, and 
repeatable. After I’d done it I realised why it works, and how rational it is - 
as you describe. One of those things that’s obvious after the event.

I can’t do colour work that relies on my judgement - I will have to find a way 
that works by numbers, or outsource it. I don’t think the volumes will be 
particularly high, and it’s only negatives that matter, slides don’t really 
require me to make any colour  judgements.
