Re: PESO 2021 - 001 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Hmm. Different perceptions entirely. :) 

Construction fences out here help reduce the amount of dust that the 
construction is generating from blowing all over the place, so there's always a 
bit of chain link on the inside and a dust shield on the outside. As I walked 
past, I was enjoying the sunset casting shadows on the fence from the building 
construction inside. The sun bloomed through the construction and the fencing's 
shadows and colors did a bit of a dance … the dust shield looked to me like 
high altitude striations of cloud… and the forms of the construction, while 
sturdy, slowly billowed with the wind on the dust shield. It was whimsical to 
my eye, the light and moving against the heavy and stoliddkd

I guess I've failed utterly to convey this feeling of an abstract dance of 
shadows in light. Gloom was the furthest thing from my mind. 
Oh well, it happens. :)

Re: PESO 2021 - 001 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Thanks Ann! 

Hmm. I wasn't actually thinking of it as "gloomy", just "dark and technical 
abstraction" … It was made somewhere around mid-Summer 2020, I think … this lot 
of Polaroids have been stacking upon my bookshelf for months waiting for enough 
of them to be there to be worth setting up the copy kit for high rez captures. 
:)

That's reminding me that I need to order film… Down to just three packs of 600 
speed left and a couple more SX-70 (ISO 150). At eight shots per pack, they go 
quickly when I start shooting with the Polaroids.

I just got word from Chris Kellog, who helped out a little over a year ago with 
my BHD3, the parts should be in the mail tomorrow.  Amazing service, another 
good reason to recommend Induro/Benro gear.  It’s quite possible that other 
brands make better gear, but the value for the price, plus the service of 
Induro and Benro continues to impress me.

PESO 2021 - 001 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I had a fine time yesterday "scanning" about 160 or so new Polaroid prints that 
have been sitting on my bookshelves for a while. I'm pleased with the results!

 Construction Fence Against Sunset - Santa Clara 2020 :: 
https://flic.kr/p/2koVSt7

The capture was color film, but after playing with it a bit, I liked it best in 
monochrome. 
Enjoy!

I would have a look if it was summer and Covid wasn’t an issue. But not much 
one can do to examine it now. There’s salt and slush in the streets. That’s a 
steep price fir a Tudor. I had a ‘34 50 years ago.

OT, any motorheads on the list near White Lake Michigan

[Larry Colen]

A friend of mine in the Bay Area is interested in (what I’m pretty sure is) 
this car:
https://classiccars.com/listings/view/1155315/1933-ford-tudor-for-sale-in-white-lake-michigan-48383

It’s a long shot, but is there anyone on the list who knows cars that would 
have the ability, or know someone in the area to check it out?

Yes, I know that this is at least seven levels of bad idea, but at the moment 
I’m looking at mitigation strategies.
