Devil's Cut - Lightbox

This week I thought I'd challenge myself with something new in my photography so I built a lightbox.  This is my first picture from it.  Nothing like the challenge of lighting a skull shaped shot glass.

I built the lightbox using pvc pipe, pipe fittings, clamps and lamps purchased from Home Depot along with cloth and paperboard from a local art supply shop.  I'll get a photo of it posted sometime.  

The Boy

I took this last night while playing with my camera's remote flash function.  Until yesterday I didn't know it could do that.  I processed it in B/W because I could.

Portland Rewind

I love Portland. Seriously, it is a city that never gets boring.

Sunday we decided to take one of our favorite walks. We start out by OMSI and walk North along the Eastside Promanade and cross the river on the Steel Bridge. Then we meander through Saturday Market and then walk the waterfront heading South. We then cross the river back to OMSI on the Hawthorne Bridge. It is a good walk in so many ways.

This time I had my camera with me so I grabbed some photos along the way. I'll share more later but for now I want to share these two. When I looked through all the photos these two just seemed to belong to a different generation. So I did a little tweaking to give them that old feel.

I call this group The Vagabond Players. I know they have their own name but I like mine better.

I love the contrast in size between the boat on the left and the powerhouse of the boat on the right.

World Cup

When someone mentions the World Cup to me this is what I see.

I can't help it. I'm not a fan. I will never be a fan. I watched a bit and it just isn't for me.
