Capture by A photoblog

Whoops, I hadn't turned on "allow comments" - that's a bit socially isolating.

Alien Ant Farm.

Kia ora koutou PA whanau. It’s been a while…

Today has been a bit a shit day for our media friends, and particularly in the whare of our host. Big aroha to you and Fi RB.

I remember what a solace this place was to many after the chch eqnz, and while it’s impossible to relive the past, as Nora says be nice to see how you are expanding your universes from inside the bubble.

Keep safe and take care.

The day the clocks went back.

It's real resin. I made it up.

I make planets out of clay, and I paint the fabric de space. These are some of my handy crafts and equipment here on display.

It’s actually Sunday! And I managed to update the clocks. How’s everyone in their bubble?

Here’s our window friends. The snoopy in the middle has been around for 40 years or so. My sister made the shirt.

What we have here is my painting of a 2 dimensional object. Let me explain, in my most manly voice.

I like the sphere for all sorts of reasons. Obviously, I owe my life to this one we have migrated all over. But as an artist, and amateur science nurd, it's that the sphere or more technically named ball, is the only 2 dimensional object I happen to have laying about the house.

The spherical object in its pure form looks the same no mater what angel it seen, which makes is 2 dimensional.

Open to being shouted down on that.

I like it, the whole world as a bubble?

More bubbles here, from dinner, suddenly noticed oil and vinegar creating bubbles within bubbles. And looking somewhat planet like.

I’d have to say, the likelihood of being shouted down on a Capture thread is pretty low :)

I did whole light shows based on those properties at high school...

Pyrex dishes and overhead projectors - heat creates convection motion as well - hours of fun...

Beautiful pics. and
Stephen - wow. the 'globes' are great.

I saw this pretty much a year ago. Could this be the Ultimate Protection?

I love macro, but worry that there might be a dark theme running through this one. And the text warp is a bit messy.

Balanced by something a little more easter-orientated. Dashboard Jesus making a media appearance.

“I’m ready for my close-up Mr DeMille…”

"Very good, Mr Jesus. May I call you 'Dashboard'? Let's rotate that lens board, stick on the little 36mm Yvar and with the lens wide open the bokeh makes you look almost omnipotent, if I may be so bold.

Little people! While my own cast of characters is growing, no coherent theme has yet to reveal itself.

what about that visual theme, the arms out wide?

O’K. I see your pepper soldier and raise you one broccoli scream.

pepper soldier

I my mind's-eye he's a pepper drummer. Uh 0h, I now see all the potential of raiding the fridge for brocolli stems....

In my defense, he came from a discarded stalk about to be composted and his little arms were a bit floppier than I'd hoped. I don't like broccoli so there's probably some underlying symbolism I don't even know about. Yet.
