explain your avatar

Hi ICU - now that I know, I love your avatar. I have Ativan at home for emergency use for my little girl (the little one in my avatar) - she's got problems. I have always found the NICU nurses to be great and try to stay out of their way and be nice.

Cheers,
Alex
 
Hi Alex,

I know some don't get my avatar. It takes a special person to be NICU nurse. I personally break into a sweat when I am assigned a pediatric patient. When I was in school I had to immunized a newborn for hepatitis and was scarred for life. I hope your little angel rarely needs her Ativan.

Hi ICU - Thanks for you comments. We only use the Ativan when her Lamictal, Clonapin, and topomax cocktail can't control things, and sparingly even then. As I said, she's got problems but she's a happy baby.

Cheers,
Alex
 
Hi... My new Avatar from 20.2.07, is a tight self-portrait
crop out of a mirror shot done with the CV 25/4.
Aside from the handsome photographer, I like the
antique mirror frame ;-) mike
 
Mine is part of a shot I took in a jazz club in the early 70's with my Nikon SP. It was on Tri-X rated at either 800 or 1600 and developed in Acufine. It's the only one I have left of those days since the negs were ruined in a water leak. It's a scan from the print.
 
Mine is of our dog Rulle on the loose last summer - extremely happy to play with all those interesting fellow beings. I took the pic on a large field dogowners in our area are free to use spring, summer and winter (when there´s no snow), where all the dogs (sometimes 60+) are free to run around as long as they behave (don´t try to kill each other, that is). Even the people are nice there:)
To be honest; this is not a RF pic; I took it with my D200 and the AF Nikkor 2,8/70-200 VR zoom. A great lens for fottball (soccer!) and dogs on the run. The picture is one of a series, covering all facets of the specific "running-after-interesting-smelling-bitch" style.

50mm Binocular Lens Image

Take an old set of 7x50 Bausch & Lombe (sp?) binoculars, where the front objective lens cells unscrew from the body of the binocular.

Remove one set of objective lenses, mount to aircraft plywood lensboard for Speed Graphic.

Operate lens wide open at F/3 (focal length =150mm) for narrow DOF.

Load grade 2 RC paper negative in sheet film holder.

Use curtain shutter to time exposures (~1/15-1/30 sec).

The subject of this photo is detail of an iron cleat in an old wooden support column in an adobe building in 'Old Town', Albuquerque, NM, USA.
 
Digital infrared self-portrait taken with a Panasonic Lumix FZ1v2 and Hoya R72 filter when I was bored one day. This is one of those digitals that didn't have an infrared filter like the M8 (ducks projectiles ; )

... Applied a craquelure effect in PS.

The one I have right now (I'm attaching it since I do change it on a whim) is the first MF frame I have taken since the 1960s (not to show my true age, but I was indeed young then, using one of Dad's cameras) and the first TLR frame I ever remember taking.

It's out of vertical and double-exposed. Actually, if you look closely it's out of vertical on both exposures. :( (Note to self: wind the {expletive}-ing film! Use the lines on the glass!)

I still have quite a bit of learning curve to climb with this thing!

Mine is one of my favourite artists of the late 60's/early 70's.

The singer GRAM PARSONS from the Byrds/Flying Buritto Brothers.
He died in 1973 of a drug overdose whilst out in the Mojave desert.

He was most influential in the country rock scene of that time.
 
It's a picture of me taken a very long time ago when FEDs were new and the shops were full of film from floor to ceiling. On the tripod an Exakta KineII, picture taken with a FED1g. Picture, Fed and Exakta near contemporaries give or take a few years. I reckon it qualifies me for both RFF and DSLRX.
 
Every time I mount a new lens I take a shot in the mirror to remind me what the subsequent frames were shot with - better for my disroganized state than trying to keep a notebook. This latest is a close crop of the 35mm Summilux on the M6. I kind of like the claustrophobic/possessive feel of my hands in this frame.
