Daily Macro View I’m in St Augustine, Florida to teach a Macro Boot Camp this weekend, and came in a couple days early to do some shooting. Yesterday I visited the Alligator Farm, which is a…
Every winter I thin out the dead stalks from the bamboo stand in the backyard and am rewarded for my labors by the lovely forms and patterns.
Similar to the concept of impressionism and pointillism, mosaics let you dive into a world full of colors. Viewed from close, you can get lost...
We have an old wasp nest stored at our house (and there's one in the woods not far from here that's as big as a beachball, but too high for me to retrieve). Ours is a rather homogeneous gray, quite a log power less impressive than this one from HarryR's Flickr photostream, found in an attic in the U.K. His wasps must have had access to a nice variety of pulp materials.
Juxtaposition: two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect. And that is exactly what you have with each option - precuts or three fabric version! For the precut version, use a full 5” square set (36 or more 5” squares with 2 of each color) or 1/2 of a 10” square set (18 different prints).

This artwork titled "La Baigneuse aux Papillons" c.1930 in an etching on paper by French artist Raoul Dufy, 1877-1963. Unsigned as issue. Printed/published in 1960 by La Chalcographie du Louvre. The image (plate mark) is 13.5 x 20 inches, framed size is 20 x 33 inches. Custom framed in a wooden black and gold frame, with gold color bevel and fabric matting. It is in very good condition, paper is slightly toned by age. About the artist: Raoul Dufy was born on June 3, 1877 in Le Havre, France and studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, as well as with Othon Friesz and Lhuillier. Although inspired by Matisse and resembling him in his devotion to rhythmic line, pure color and decorative effects, Dufy was a painter of great independence and originality. During the first half of the 20th century, the Fauves, the Cubists, and the Surrealists dominated the art of France. Throughout all of these developments, Dufy went on painting the most highly civilized subjects he could find, the elegant holiday places and events of the rich. Dufy's palette and his taste for beauty eventually led him to the world of fashion and fabric design. He formed a close relationship with the couturier Paul Poiret, for whose fashion house he designed a logo; he also designed silk fabrics. This association bought him financial security. He eventually became one of the most sought-after illustrators of his day and designed sets and costumes for the theatre as well as upholstery and wallpaper. One of the largest paintings of modern times was the gigantic mural done by Raoul Dufy for the pavillion of electricity at the 1937 International Exposition in Paris. The finished work, depicting the history and importance of electricity to the 20th century, was 197 feet wide and 33 feet high. Dufy christened it "La Fee Electricite". After the Exposition closed, Dufy's mural, too big for exhibition, was stored away from public view in 250 sections. Dufy worried about its neglect and sought some way to keep his gigantic work on view. The answer was provided by a Paris pulisher, who proposed that Dufy reproduce the mural as a color lithograph. Dufy set to work in 1951 and shortly before his death in 1953 completed the most ambitious lithography project ever undertaken: three feet high by twenty feet wide, done in twenty-two colors and printed in ten sheets. He was devoted to America and the American scene, to which he paid two visits. The latter of these visits was in 1951, for medical treatment of his arthritis. Crippling as his ailment was, Dufy did not allow it to halt his work or to diminish his great joy in life. Treatment of his arthritis by injecting cortisone improved his condition so much that he was able to return to his farmhouse in Provence where he painted several hours a day. He died in 1953 at the age of seventy-five.

The tragicomic scenes in Philip Guston's post-1968 work were filled with stubbly, cigarette-smoking, Popeye-like self-portraits mixed with hooded Ku Klux Klansmen (frequently self-portraits also), assigned roles equivalent to those of Babel's marauding Cossacks. Those who grasped the significance of Guston's challenge to established "high modernist" taste immersed themselves in the strange vision of contemporary life he portrayed in a tumultuous tidal wave of images.
TORINO: "La Fetta di Polenta" dal lato di C.so San Maurizio! Alessandro Antonelli termina questo stabile nel 1850 su una superficie molto esigua: 27 metri dal lato di Via Barolo,per 5 sul lato di C.so San Maurizio,e infine 0,70 sul lato opposto!! Su questo triangolo l'architetto seppe realizzare si dice per scommessa questa opera unica!! Il palazzo è dotato per l'accesso ai diversi piani di una scala a chicciola che naturalmente non permetteva il passaggio dei mobili e quindi per favorire i traslochi è stata posta una carrucola sul balcone dell'ultimo piano! Viene chiamata la "Fetta di Polenta" oltre che per la sua forma anche per il colore che richiama appunto la polenta, ma il suo vero nome è Palazzo Barberino o anche casa Scacabarozzi. All'interno sono stati ricavati 2 locali per piano ed un servizio igenico nei piani ammezzati. In tutto ci sono 26 locali! La sua forma e le sue dimensioni scoraggiarono le persone ad andarci ad abitare in quanto si pensava che si sarebbe facilmente abbattuta al suolo!! Per dimostrare quanto le persone avessero torto per qualche anno ci andò ad abitare propio l'Antonelli stesso con la sua famiglia e per di più propio negli ultimi piani quelli giudicati più pericolosi!

Good lens, but not a great lens. Critical sharpness wide open at 5.6 with a T.C is not as good as the 300mm lens with a 1.4 T.C. at 5.6. Not even close. The Canon reviews and fanboys are full os shit.
