Happy Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in their temporary home near Ypres

Some cool image source images:


Happy Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in their temporary home near Ypres

Members of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders posing for the camera, near Ypres, Belgium. Most of the men seen here are looking out from underneath a tent-like structure. Their heads are just visible above a pile of sandbags. All of the men are looking towards the camera and smiling. Two further men are visible, one reclining on the ground and the other standing in a crouched position in the background. It is a posed but informal shot believed to have been taken by the British official photographer, John Warwick Brooke.

Images such as this were often used by the Government and Military as positive propaganda. By masking the grim reality of life at the Front, the authorities provided people with the reassurance they so desperately wanted.

Konica III Hexanon 48mm F2

Konica lenses of this era have an excellent reputation; the one on particular camera has not been tested, as it still needs a shutter and aperture rebuild.

The small triangular chromed tab below the lens controls the aperture. Below the f-numbers is an EV scale engraved into the shutter-speed ring. If desired, the aperture tab can be pinched against the serrations of the shutter dial, rotating the two together to offer EV coupling. However it's quite easy to move the aperture tab independently.

This is an eminently sensible system; and much better than the awkward one used on the later IIIA. But admittedly, locating the aperture scale out of sight below the lens was not the best ergonomic move.

A happy portrait of a little girl holding a Christmas present as snow is falling all around and on her. This is a circa 1910 vintage Christmas card illustration. The image was scanned from my personal collection and the color restored (digitally remastered). I also retouched it to remove scratches, cracks, smudges and age spots. This is typically about a 3 hour process.

****************

When you say "New York City," most people think of Times Square, or the Empire State Building, or the crowded sidewalks and the skyscrapers in mid-town, or Wall Street, or the ill-fated World Trade Center. Maybe Central Park will come to mind, but most people don't realize that New Yorkers know lots of places to relax, and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air ...

... like Carl Schurz Park, over by the East River on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, stretching from 90th Street down to about 84th Street. In addition to flower gardens, dog runs, basketball courts, playgrounds, and grassy knolls for sunbathing, there is also a wide promenade where cyclists, roller-skaters, dog-walkers, lovers, joggers, parents, children, and any of the other millions of citizens of this city can stroll along at whatever pace suits them best. Some sit at benches along the edge of the river, staring at the roiling water caused by the swift current down the East River; others nod and smile as they watch sailboats, motorboats, yachts, barges, tour-boats, and barges ply their way up and down the river.

One thing's for certain, though: everyone enjoys Carl Schurz Park. It's one of New York's little secrets ...

If you follow my website regularly you're probably used to me missing an occasional post, but you've probably wondered what's happened over the past week to stop me posting for days on end.

I was in a really good mood as I drove towards Portofino where I'd overnight before hopping on a train to get to the Cinque Terre...

Today's Photo: The Spring at Acqui Terme

This elaborate fountain is actually a natural spring, the use of which dates back to Roman times. When you get up close to...

Greenwich - Dark Heart of Codeness

Dark Heart of Codeness .walk (pronounced as “dot-walk”)

Wilfried Houjebek wrote a geospatial algorithm in the “Brainfuck” programming language. After initialisation by a random coin toss the algorithm sends the user on a algorithmic tour. For historic reasons Wilfried chose the Royal Observatory as the starting point. From here our group was sent on a spiraling course towards Point Hill.

During the walk electromagnetic energies were recorded with an ELF receiver.

At Point Hill we planted undeveloped film sheets for thoughtographic experiments and hid measuring devices for logging high frequency energies. Also some intuitive drawings were made to record the atmosphere.

From there we went back to the center of London to interrogate the London Stone.

===========================

A .walk into computational darkness, Tuesday the second of August 2010. [15.00-17.00] at the entrance of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park.

It is hard not to feel sympathy for Martial Bourdin, the clumsy anarchist (aren't we all?) who tried to bomb the Lon/Lat HQ of the English Empire in 1894 (i.e. the Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park) and who is forever ridiculed in Joseph Conrad's novel The Secret Agent.

(Wikipedia writes about Joseph Conrad [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Conrad] that despite the complexity of his novels, Conrad in his private life was predominantly conservative. Who could have ever thought.)

The bomb in question exploded near target in Bourdin's face. He died 30 minutes later without mentioning his name. It is presumed that he was planning to destroy the clock ticking to centralized time. A just cause as time, which obviously does not exist, is a deadening tool of artificial concensus reality.

The Royal Observatory is also where, between 1765 to 1925, the Nautical Almanac Office employed scores of human computers to compile and calculate tables of astronomical data. In of those tables, the 'Nautical Ephemeris for Finding Latitude and Longitude at Sea' Charles Babbage found over a thousand errors. The invention of the mechanical computer, Babbage's Difference Engine, was inspired by the desire to diminish the number of ships wrecked at sea caused by faulty data.

The Royal Observatory is also where the London Psychogeographic Association went looking for ley-lines but of course ley-lines are just pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo that nobody needs. Say no to the tantric fellow travellers! Say no to the psychogeographers of yore!

The Dark Heart of Codeness / a pedestrian code experiment starting from the Observatory / human computers will run walking codelets / a "stillness of an implacable force brooding over an inscrutable intention" (Conrad) will haunt the .walkers at every step untill they will succumb crying in a whisper at some image, at some vision "a cry that was no more than a breath: "The horror! The horror!""
