Raindrops
Morning raindrops on a poinsettia.
Cactus and More
A few more film images from the Conservatory scanned into PC.
Hydrangea
I think these two flowers are hydrangeas?? Again, scanned into the PC from a film print. I’ve tried to articulate a difference between shooting film vs digital. There are probably many differences, but one that strikes me is that film images sometimes have a softness about them. I guess with Photoshop anything can be altered to look like anything. Outside of the act of editing I think this softness is something that strikes me. I guess the same point has been made between vinyl recordings and digital; the vinyl recordings have a ‘softness’ to them, if I were to choose one word to explain the difference.
Conservatory Flowers
A few more scanned images from the Volunteer Park Conservatory.
Conservatory Flowers
Thought I would post some non-winter images today and perhaps for the next
couple of days. These images were taken on my Minolta X-700 ( that is all I can
remember) and scanned into PC. Location: Volunteer Park Conservatory.
Rose
A closer look at the rose.
Purple
This flower looks just like a daisy, but purple. I don’t know what it is. Any ideas?
Rose Garden
Looking down a path of the Rose Garden at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden.
Hydrangea
It seemed a bit odd to me to find an hydrangea plant still in bloom while the majority of plants, trees, etc in the area have transitioned to their Fall state.
From Film Archive
Some film images I scanned a couple of years ago. Shot on my Minolta X-700 I believe at the conservatory in Volunteer Park, Seattle.
Final Resting
Headstone where my grandparents are buried in Santa Maria, Ca. Resting place of most of my dad’s remains, in a funeral urn, placed just in front of this headstone. The flower garden is at Mission Soledad. At this spot we spread the last of the ashes of my dad. Mission Soledad is near Salinas, where he spent much of his youth.
Final Spot
This small flower garden is the last spot where we dispersed some of my dad’s ashes. Aside from the gravesite where the bulk of his remains were buried in what is called a funeral urn ( some type of plastic container ) we spread the rest of his ashes in five different locations along the California coast as well as three inland sites. This garden is in the Mission Soledad outside of Salinas, Ca. We also placed some of his ashes in a lettuce field. He spent some time ( Jr. High/High School) in the Salinas area. His dad was a state inspector, mostly working the packing houses of Salinas. The lettuce fields in Salinas seem to go on forever, into the horizon. Just amazingly large.
