We'll put them up soon .
Are they going on a house, PEG. Nice work - as usual. :)
QuoteAre they going on a house, PEG. Nice work - as usual. :)
No, a jeweler box ::) ::) ;D Yes, a house another kit place from up in BC eh!
House parts that look like furniture. :) Mmmmm!
You are SOooo funny PEG :o --- 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. :o
California Corbels (http://www.sandiegohistory.org/bpbuildings/images3/ladies.jpg)
I think those would be cor-belles :-/
Somehow they just stuck in my mind all these years ---
Impressive corbels, PEG. :)
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 :o
I think the B7W photo in this case highlights the grain on the Cedar , what thinks ye??
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)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caryatid
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.
::)
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.
Cool, Amanda -- maybe I can get Sassy to pose for a tape modeling session and make some for the cabin. :)
Quote- I used to do some B/W photography and developing/printing years ago.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa...rgghh.... :o 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.

You are SOooo funny PEG :o ---
Ya, I crack me up sometimes ;D ;D I thought it was clever, hehehehehe
and I forgot to say , looks aren't everything, PEG. :)
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.
I did the roller drum developing process for color -- for a little while. It was interesting but time consuming.
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.
I was going to say something but I'm not going to. :-X
Awww. I just showed her how to develop prints and something else developed as well. ;D
So you think digital manipulation is an improvement over the darkroom technique? :-?
Maybe I should just go back and edit the original thought... :-/
Maybe I should shut up?
I think I prefer digital. Much simpler. :)
I just showed Sassy some of my old photos and she was ready to marry me. :)
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. :)
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. :)
Why do I feel I'm talking to myself?
You know I can see you thinking, Don..... :-? ;D
PEG's always on my case about my abuse of my administrative powers. :-/
I had a C330 for a while. The 645 was a kinda nice camera. I liked the rectangular format over the square 6x6. My favorite "big" camera was my 6x7 Linhof... similar to this picture... superb with a rock solid tripod.
But I do love my digital camera. (Canon S80). Trouble is it has more features than I can remember. :-/

Glenn, I never for a moment thought that pictures of yourself could have induced sassy to marry you. :-? I thought they must have been of an artistic nature.
Glad we got that straightened out-- I didn't want any misunderstandings. :)
I really am quit photogenic though. ::)
My BIL had a Mamiya 6x7 of some sort - maybe that was all there is to it. Just a full neg on 120 rather than half like mine.
Here's a couple installed
