No, a jeweler box

Yes, a house another kit place from up in BC eh!

MountainDon · April 17, 2007, 12:15:54 AM

House parts that look like furniture.

Mmmmm!

glenn kangiser · April 17, 2007, 12:56:39 AM

You are SOooo funny PEG

--- I meant --- they could have gone onto a commercial building or something.

I haven't seen a lot of corbels on houses but I guess the higher end stuff you work on would have them more often. :-/

I liked the ones at the Casa de Balboa building in San Diego's Balboa Park.

I assume these are corbels? Viewer discretion is advised - topless corbels. If they are not corbels please let me know as I don't want to mis-lead anybody.

When someone mentions corbels ... that's what I think of as corbels.

I think those would be cor-belles :-/

glenn kangiser · April 17, 2007, 01:02:47 AM

Somehow they just stuck in my mind all these years ---

Impressive corbels, PEG.

PEG688 · April 17, 2007, 08:01:26 AM

We/ I don't do much commerical work , and ya those would be corbels. Plenty of money when into that place , John Q. Public sure has deep pockets , eh

I think the B7W photo in this case highlights the grain on the Cedar , what thinks ye??

Amanda_931 · April 17, 2007, 09:37:51 PM

Yep, the Black and White does make the grain stand out.

From out of the ether I heard the word caryatid.

(actually it was in a book I was reading at the laundromat, possibly used wrong)

Click on the Sans Souci picture to see the same kind of arrangement--but with (new word for me) a Telemon or Atlas or two as well.

April 17, 2007, 10:01:06 PM

Black and white does have it's own special effect on how things look - I used to do some B/W photography and developing/printing years ago. Some pictures were especially outstanding.

glenn kangiser · April 17, 2007, 10:05:06 PM

Cool, Amanda -- maybe I can get Sassy to pose for a tape modeling session and make some for the cabin.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa...rgghh....

Thread drift coming on..... can't ... control ... it.......

I used to love B&W photography. That was before color was invented I think :-/

My first apartment had a good sized bedroom with a nice sized walk in closet. Yep, you know what I did...

I assembled the bed in the closet and turned the bedroom into a darkroom. 35mm, then 120/220 roll film, then 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 sheet film and roll film backs. Wanted a 4x5 but never went that far.

Ya, I crack me up sometimes

I thought it was clever, hehehehehe

glenn kangiser · April 17, 2007, 10:31:02 PM

and I forgot to say , looks aren't everything, PEG.

April 18, 2007, 06:27:09 PM

Me too, on the black and white. Even worked doing that right briefly. (I occasionally claim to have done one of everything, not quite true, but....)

Found myself unable to process color--especially the old E-3 Ektachrome--sort of gave up on the whole mess until the digital revolution. Which made playing with pictures fun again.

glenn kangiser · April 18, 2007, 07:59:42 PM

I did the roller drum developing process for color -- for a little while. It was interesting but time consuming.

MountainDon · April 18, 2007, 08:11:06 PM

E-3 was a nightmare, Amanda. You were in good company in despairing of it. E-4 was an improvement. As were the color processing drums, especially when used with motorized roller devices. If you were good, you could run dual processes at once.

I had a friend who printed in color using trays just like in B&W. The trays sat in huge S/S low sided sinks of circulating warm water.

I did encounter an unexpected problem when I moved to the SW. That was my B&W processing temp was 68 degrees F (20 C) and for most of the year the water coming out of the faucet was above that, well above in June-Aug.

Digital manipulation has many advantages over playing in the darkroom. But some disadvantages too.

I met my wife-to-be in a darkroom. Really.

glenn kangiser · April 18, 2007, 08:27:59 PM

I was going to say something but I'm not going to.

MountainDon · April 18, 2007, 08:33:23 PM

Awww. I just showed her how to develop prints and something else developed as well.

glenn kangiser · April 18, 2007, 08:56:12 PM

So you think digital manipulation is an improvement over the darkroom technique? :-?

April 18, 2007, 09:02:00 PM

Maybe I should just go back and edit the original thought... :-/

Maybe I should shut up?

glenn kangiser · April 18, 2007, 09:08:27 PM

I think I prefer digital. Much simpler.

glenn kangiser · April 18, 2007, 09:11:42 PM

I just showed Sassy some of my old photos and she was ready to marry me.

glenn kangiser · April 18, 2007, 09:22:05 PM

I have a Mamiya 645 with electric winder - a few lenses etc., but no time to play with the messy stuff in the darkroom.

I guess I'll just have to stick to photographing corbels with my digital.

glenn kangiser · April 18, 2007, 09:33:04 PM

QuoteI just showed Sassy some of my old photos and she was ready to marry me.

I should clarify this as it could be taken the wrong way. They weren't actually all pictures of me. Many of them were pictures of things I had done, was doing or might continue to do --- she thought many of them were quite interesting, and some of them I don't think she'd seen done or participated in before.
