J'expliquais que, sur une photo, sourire n'était pas ESSENTIEL…
Ils n'écoutent pas toujours leur grand-papa :)

I was saying that a smile was not MANDATORY on a photo…
They don't always listen to their grandpa :)

Ela's Birthday by Elaheh

Posted on 2018-05-29

Today is my birthday!
.
Now I'm 28.
Although I feel my soul is 48, I can rejoice watching butterflies and the beautiful details of the world, from an eyes of an 8 years old kid!
.
Though I'm tired of my big mistakes, I'm kind of happy that I've made them, as we can learn strangely profound matters from our horrible mistakes...
And... I strongly believe in the existence of the good things. Because I have faith. That's why I'm still alive and I like to be!

Paul in 1977 by Phil Morris

Posted on 2018-05-07

I found this other portrait I did of paul when I had been commissioned to do some
pictures of Paul and his sister. This image I used a Tiffen Fog Filter #3, and then
I had to further soften all the edges as the negative has deteriorated quite a bit.
The negs will have to go soon as the deterioration is getting bad. I suppose that
some negatives last longer. It depends on who developed the negatives for me.
I usually sent the negatives out for developing while I printed my own b&w photos.

icy chunks and curtains by Roger Rempel

Posted on 2018-04-09

since spring is a tad late this year... and cabin fever may set in, it was time for a stroll in front of the 7 sisters hydro-electric dam in late spring. this scene reveals a vast array of icy chunks and curtains. these are quite blinding in the bright sun, and many of these ice chunks are the size of small cars. the ice brings very interesting detail in cross section. the icy curtains are a few storeys tall.

pixelated bison by Roger Rempel

Posted on 2018-03-08

this rare and spectacular species calls manitoba its favourite habitat. the pixelated bison can be seen every winter grazing on thick, tasty ice on the mighty red river -with this fella's herd ranging just south of the forks in winnipeg, canada. you can see just how thick the pixelated bison's graze ice can be... that crack beneath his feet has a white "shadow" along its length - this is the cross-section of a crack extending the full depth of the ice. the pixelated bison love it!

Towering Falls by Steven

Posted on 2017-10-11

This was my first time seeing Niagara Falls and was amazed by its sheer power. I was then amazed to get a different PoV and notice people standing at the base of the Falls and noting the sheer scale of it. I had to capture this. This was a particularly windy day and many of the spectators got soaked by the blowing mist. We went down there on a later date when the wind took the mist in the opposite direction and kept us fairly dry.

A railroad to nowhere by Denise

Posted on 2020-09-25

My husband and I drove to Gaspésie in September 2020, remembering a bike tour we did there in 2012. It was our first big trip in our first year of retirement. At that time, we did cross this old bridge with our bicycles to wild camp on the beach on the other side and it was a thrilling experience because we watched the sunrise and we were so happy of our luck to be able to do this kind of trip. So when I saw again this abandoned bridge under the dark sky, I thought about the time passing by so fast and things changing irrevocably...It was a mixed feeling of nostalgia and a bit of fear for the future because of the pandemic...Let's hope the sun will shine again on the other side!

Once Upon My Childhood by Jola Martysz - Photography

Posted on 2020-04-25

One of my very early childhood memories is rattle of my mother's sewing machine, when she has repaired our clothes or was sewing something for our household. The sewing machine with all it's moving parts was very mysterious to me. Now I am a happy owner of a very similar one.

Moose Lake Hike by B. Thomas

Posted on 2019-11-13

The Moose Lake Loop Trail winds through the thick lodge pole pine tree forest and beautiful scenery to the lake. It is rated as a moderate hike, but to us it seemed pretty steep and hard but worth the effort. Moose are commonly encountered in this area.

We were happy to find a large female moose out in the water feeding on bottom plants. There was another moose on the other side of a small island.

As I drive I Sometimes Pick Up Strangers by Phil Morris

A Drive-By Snow Plow,

Love this invention, I almost feel like I am driving down 5th Avenue, down the cobblestone streets of New York, many, decades ago. I pick up whatever my catcher on 5th Avenue decides!

After sepia toning this black and white image I go to photoshop to lighten the highlight- shadows, then add color, then Orton Effect to bring back depth, then go back
and merge into sepia again, finish the gradation in color curves, final touches of color.

Something Coming by Damon Schreiber

Posted on 2018-10-27

Honest Ed's bargain store (previously featured here has been torn down, and something new is coming to take its place. Maybe I should post more shots of Honest Ed's from when it still was standing. I probably have a few interesting shots.

Anyway, I liked the cranes here. I seem to have a thing for them.

Me and Myself by Elaheh

Posted on 2018-04-11

I feel that I'm definitely more than one person and that's inordinately challenging and exhausting. Because I'm aware of all of myselves at the same time. Not like the bipolar people who don't know when and why they turn to their other personality.

Cowboy (1983) by Michael Rawluk

Posted on 2020-05-25

Two years ago we had a huge roof leak in our house that went unnoticed because it didn't come through the ceiling. The insurance company took forever to respond. In the meantime lots of +30 celcius weather. The result was black mould. We had to clear the house of everything. Most of it went to the upper floor of our large shed. My wife and I did it and when it was done I felt like I was dying. Well, it turns out I was. I went to the doctor and after many tests was diagnosed with a rare bone marrow cancer called Myelofibrosis. Within months,I was unable to do anything. Contractors demolished the insides of the house and rebuild it. I slept. My wife organized everything and worked hard. Last year i had a Stem Cell Transplant and now I can do very little. It is a very long recovery period. I am also going through something called Graft versus Host disease. Not entirely pleasant.
The photo? I am using my time to scan old negatives. Something I have been planning for a long time.

.. dog & butterfly .. by Timber

Posted on 2016-07-31

.. some butterflies are elusive.. few can disappear as suddenly as the Mourning Cloak. I circled our deck which was surrounded by milkweek, hoping for a closer shot.. but where was it ? I knew it had landed.. so did the young dog.. Ah.. there it was in plain sight. It fluttered about for 10 precious minutes, in very light & warm breezes.. lots of milkweed & other flowers blooming.. and later I did get a fortunate close up.. wings spread wide, resting quietly

Most of Wendy's flowers have finished for the season. A few yellow and red roses are still trying to bloom, but now we just have to cut back, divide some perennials, and rake the leaves...again. But I love fall.

Poison Hemlock by Elaheh

Posted on 2018-06-16

I am really in love with these wonderful flowers... they are very beautiful under the sunshine. They make me feel happy and grateful.
After a research I found out the name of this plant is poison-hemlock which can be fatal if just a small amount is ingested.
Lucky me, I don't have a habit of eating flowers whenever I see a beautiful one!
But in my country (Iran) we do have a habit of brewing some special flowers. I thought its a good idea to educate people who don't know about this plant.

the last ice masses of winter sit thawing in the spring sunshine near 7 sisters dam in manitoba, canada.

Enigma by Phil Morris

Posted on 2017-01-26

B&W sepia toned photo, then using Dr. Martin's Airbrush watercolours which I used to paint the B&W image. A drop of red, half yellow and 2 sepia with water for the face paint, it can be applied either with a long q tip type stereo cleaner, but not a q-tip as it can easily scratch. It can be applied by an airbrush and small lines of the eyelashes with a 00 paint brush.

Reworked eyebrows, lashes, lips, in effect I use a lot of Hollywood retouch procedures in a more modern method at this time.
