RE: The Genius of Photography
Ah, right. So we agree with other. Good. Sorry, I didn't express myself well. In my mind I was thinking about Annie Leibovitz. The comparison in the doco was between these photographs taken at crime scenes in the early part of last century and the Pictorialists. The photography curator made the point that while Pictorialism tried to raise the medium of photography to an artform, in doing so, their range of style and subject matter became narrower and narrower. Ultimately it was an artistic dead end. Whereas, the artless forensic photographers, who were all anonymous, produced a body of work that is a fascinating insight into the world of the lower to middle classes in NY. Unusual angles, stark lighting, wide wide lenses - the photographs were amazing, putting aside the gory nature of the subject. Lartigue also makes a significant appearance in this episode. The ultimate amateur, his famous racing car shot was compared to a rare Pictorialist photo that included..gasp... an automobile. Where Lartigue's shot was and is modern and exciting, the latter seemed already old-fashioned, even when it was new. So while I respect what the Pictorialists were trying to do, verite (the asterisks came from me trying to add an accent) photography is so much more rewarding. Darstardly was me being ironic. I love the series.

Re: Charles W. Cushman, color slide photographer 1938-1969.
Thanks for posting this Lasse. I've been slowly working my way through them. Outstanding collection D Lasse Karlsson wrote: Just in case it hasn't been mentioned on the list before, i'd like to point you to a very insteresting photo collection, available on the net since a few years back. It's the life time collection of color slides shot by one Charles W. Cushman. What's interesting is that he very early started shooting color slides. He traveled quite a bit in various states and captured many scenes which will show the evolution into modern day U.S.A. He lived mostly in Chicago and in his later years also in San Fransisco, why there are particularly many photos of these cities. He also photographed a lot during a number of trips to Europe. His earliest shots are from 1938, his last shots are from 1969, a few years before he passed away. Funny thing is that there is no indication that any of his pictures ever were published nor that he was looking for getting them published. Recently I spent a week's nights browsing trough the whole collection by year. It was like watching a great documentary in many parts. Fascinating. I picked this shot from Sep. 17, 1938 in Victoria British Columbia for you as an example. http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/collections/cushman/full/P01449.jpg If you click the following link you'll get to a smaller version with info on the picture as well as other links which will give you an idea of how the collection is organized. (Note: in some instances, like this one, the image has been restored from a discolored original. In those cases you can also find the original by a link at the bottom right corner. I gave it a go at a few of them and thought I could do a better restoration than presented there.) http://tinyurl.com/33kltf This is a link to the index (Home) page of the collection: http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/cushman/index.jsp Enjoy, Lasse -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.iinet.net.au/~derbyc -- 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.

It seems to lack depth for me. 2) The lighting, though very uniform, may be working against you here. Try putting the camera on a tripod, and take a long exposure, using a flashlight to illuminate select parts of your still life, play with the amount of light you give to each part of your image. I have seen some amazing photos this way. The uniform light you have makes the image seem very documentary and lacks the mystery an interesting still life would have. 3. As others have mentioned, the composition is a bit cluttered. Pick some objects that are tied together in some way, artistically, geometrically, or emotionally (for you). Make one object draw the viewer in some way, and tie the other objects to that object by their position or meaning. 4. Try a different background that differentiates the objects from their environment, like a dark wood, black, or something muted.

When I was a kid, we most often went to Brookfield. They were about equidistant from the Southeast side. My best memory of Lincoln Park Zoo comes from the days when I worked on the race car. We were driving back from Miami with our truck and trailer one Sunday night and saw some armadillos poking around near the road. The guy who was driving decided to stop, and one of the guys, who was a bit of a lunatic, jumped out and chased an armadillo. He caught him and put him in the truck, thinking we'd keep him in our shop as a pet. Well, when we got back to Chicago that Armadillo was very unhappy. Couldn't get him to eat. (Don't know why he didn't like cheeseburgers), and the cold was making him sluggish. So we decided to take him to Lincoln Park Zoo. After smoking a bit of weed. (The armadillo didn't like that any more than the cheeseburger.) At the zoo, we managed to find the administration building. We went into the office with the armadillo in a box and told the receptionist we wanted to donate an armadillo. Well, it seems the curator had been hoping to get an armadillo for some time. Just the day before they had tricked him with some kind of object made from an armadillo shell. They had wrapped a blanket around it and presented it to him. So, he of course assumed this was another trick and refused to come out to the reception area. So we took the armadillo out of the box. The office was quite warm and that seemed to please him. He (or she as the case may have been) began scampering around the office and the receptionist screamed. That got the curator out there. In short, he was thrilled. We lied and told him that the armadillo must have crawled into our trailer while we were racing. Since they're an endangered species, we didn't want to end up in the clink. He pointed out that armadillos are very timid and would never come near a trailer, but he wanted an armadillo bad enough that he didn't press the issue. So the armadillo moved into Lincoln Park Zoo, and we went back to our cold shop, cheeseburgers and weed. And that's my Lincoln Park Zoo story, the only one I have:-).

Stupid Windows Question
Ok, I have my new machine running swimmingly, but I have a couple of applicatioions that don't like running on multiple core processors. I can set the affinity during launch and the program runs perfectly, but this is something that I have to do every time. I checked the Microsoft knowledge base, and came away somewhat confused, as it appears to be written for people who know far more than I do. What I am looking for is a way to tell the OS that particular programs will only have an affinity for either CPU 1 or CPU 2. Is there an easy way to do this, or at least one that a simple dork like me can understand? Thinking out loud time, would there be an advantage to having, for example, all the background services running on one CPU, and then having big applications like Photoshop running on the other one?

Re: Stupid Windows Question
If the OS is smart enough, its better to let it make the decision. I.e. it will decide when to assign time slots to free cpus when a process is ready to run. If you force a process to only run on one cpu, then one of two things might happen: a) if the OS schedules another process to run on that cpu when photoshop is idle, then it might not have a slot to use when it becomes active again. b) If the OS dedicates the cpu to photoshop and nothing else, the other cpu(s) might be overloaded, even though the photoshop cpu might have free time to execute.

I should add that I never use it direct. It's either firing into an omnibounce or coming off the ceiling or wall with that little flag up. Maybe that give the flash time to think about it.

With some other flashes, it can vary. This may be one of those YMMV moments. My 540/K10 combination isn't happy unless it is at 400. Of course, I may be operating it incorrectly too. I can run a 6 or more light setup and have it look real, but TTL flash on camera has been a bug up my ass for as long as I remember.

Oh, the temptation...
The lure of the K20D. And the DA*200/2.8. Saw them both today, at Pentax Norway. Oh well...

Re: Charles W. Cushman, color slide photographer 1938-1969.
I'm mostly lurking, as usual. Lasse, that's a great collection of photographs, thanks for posting it! The most significant thing I saw so far is this: http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/cushman/results/detail.do?query=city%3A%22San+Francisco%22page=3pagesize=20display=thumbcapaction=searchpnum=P05859 http://tinyurl.com/2pmh8h I live around the block from there. It seems like back in 1952 there was parking available in my neighborhood! I think the last spots were taken in the mid 50s actually... j On Feb 11, 2008 6:10 AM, Lasse Karlsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just in case it hasn't been mentioned on the list before, i'd like to point you to a very insteresting photo collection, available on the net since a few years back. It's the life time collection of color slides shot by one Charles W. Cushman. What's interesting is that he very early started shooting color slides. He traveled quite a bit in various states and captured many scenes which will show the evolution into modern day U.S.A. He lived mostly in Chicago and in his later years also in San Fransisco, why there are particularly many photos of these cities. He also photographed a lot during a number of trips to Europe. His earliest shots are from 1938, his last shots are from 1969, a few years before he passed away. Funny thing is that there is no indication that any of his pictures ever were published nor that he was looking for getting them published. Recently I spent a week's nights browsing trough the whole collection by year. It was like watching a great documentary in many parts. Fascinating. I picked this shot from Sep. 17, 1938 in Victoria British Columbia for you as an example. http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/collections/cushman/full/P01449.jpg If you click the following link you'll get to a smaller version with info on the picture as well as other links which will give you an idea of how the collection is organized. (Note: in some instances, like this one, the image has been restored from a discolored original. In those cases you can also find the original by a link at the bottom right corner. I gave it a go at a few of them and thought I could do a better restoration than presented there.) http://tinyurl.com/33kltf This is a link to the index (Home) page of the collection: http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/cushman/index.jsp Enjoy, Lasse -- 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. -- Juan Buhler - http://www.jbuhler.com -- 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.
