Built by Willerby Landscapes
This garden has been inspired by the power of plants and natural forms in an urban and suburban environment. It is a dry, sustainable garden designed for exploration, revealing areas as you move through the space.
Four bold cedar wood frames create long views through the garden, whilst dividing the space into distinct yet visually-connected areas. Stone and wood are present in conventional garden features (stone paving, walling and seating), but are also used in more stylised features such as oversized horizontally-sliced boulders, a water feature and bespoke wooden sculptures to decorate and energise the design.
The Chelsea Flower Show has been held in the grounds of the Chelsea Hospital every year since 1913, apart from gaps during the two World Wars.
It used to be Britain’s largest flower show (it has now been overtaken by Hampton Court), but is still the most prestigious. From the beginning it has contained both nursery exhibits and model gardens. Every year there have been exhibits from foreign countries as well as from Britain.
It is the flower show most associated with the Royal family, who attend the opening day every year.
Whatever you love about gardening, there’s something for you at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
‘Fresh’ is a brand new area that includes modern, inventive gardens with new design ideas, along with tradestands offering ingenious new products.

20100501 - camera test - Canon PowerShot SD400 Digital Elph - playing with Oranjello - 60fps video test - MVI0092 (1m)
Image by Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos (ClintJCL)
I'd never had a camera that could take 60fps video before... So I decided playing with Oranjello would be a good high-framerate video. Unfortunately at 60fps, the video size is only 320x240, so it's not really worth the extra frames per second.
We got a Canon PowerShot SD400 Digital Elph camera for at a yard sale! It was missing the USB cable, but it worked with the one from our broken Canon PowerShot S330 Digital Elpha camera (which cost 0 in 2001). This camera has amazingly good imaging, and can take pictures in rapid succession soooo much faster than the other 2. It's also our smallest camera. Unfortunately there's only 1 battery.

9/25: Coleman Miller: Uso Justo & other shorts
Image by uniondocs
Best known for his innovative, award-winning 2005 short Uso Justo, Coleman Miller has been making films and videos for over 25 years utilizing a variety of techniques including found footage, collage, and various mash-up experimentation based on whatever tools he’s had at his disposal. We are happy to present this long-overdue overview of Miller’s work.
“It always starts with Play. Especially working with found footage – it’s like being a five year old in a brand new sandbox. Or playing with blocks. You start mixing and matching things… just to see. Then maybe a leaf blows into the sandbox and you incorporate that. Soon you have a foundation and it all flows from there. The hardest part is getting up from the sandbox and saying ‘Done’. But really, any sandbox will do.” – Coleman Miller
“Coleman Miller is destined for admiration and great poverty.” - Isabella Rossellini
Program runtime is approximately 68 minutes – Surprise unannounced works possible
Step Off A Ten-Foot Platform With Your Clothes On, by Coleman Miller
USA, 1990, 7 minutes, 16 mm
While working as a printer in a film lab in San Francisco Miller, was able to use equipment most filmmakers didn’t even know existed. Obtaining special use of a continuous contact printer, which he used every day, was particularly inspiring. By manipulating found footage he was able to create a body of work that turned the medium of film back around on itself. Miller was able to invent many new printing techniques, which he continues to incorporate today. During these years, the film lab became a ten-year festival of experimentation and from it came the most consistent additions to his body of work.
In Step Off A Ten Foot Platform With Your Clothes On, Miller expounds his foray into found and experimental film by compiling which had been, until Uso Justo, his most successful and critically acclaimed work. Produced while Miller was still working for a San Francisco based film printer, once again we see Miller playing with materials directly available to him. During this time time, he was turning film around on itself in a purely visual way – showing the sprocketholes, edge numbers, dirt and frame lines, etc. Again we’ll see the use of contrapuntal sound in order to punctuate dramatic and often playful images. Miller also takes the time to examine what lies in between or, more appropriately, just hidden aspects of film. Long stretches of dirty black or white leader touched with color, usually an annoyance to the traditional viewer, display an entertaining dance of schmutz that is allowed to take the focus. Platform briefly introduces it’s visual styles and slowly allows them to progress into a spirited visual mash-up of his techniques. Ordinary images sifted thru Miller’s mental machine, like the little dog in the film, yanked to unreasonable visual extremes.Platform would go on to win numerous festival awards, be screened at the 1991 Sundance Film Festival, and become culled material for commercial exhibitions such as the 1992 MTV Music Video Awards and the opening title sequences for MTV’s 1991 television show The Big Picture.
Fixated Whereabouts by Coleman Miller
USA, 1983, 5 minutes, 16 mm
Deeply inspired by Bruce Conner’s Take The 5:10 To Dreamland, Miller’s initial dabbling into filmmaking shows natural mastery of his available tools. Shot simply with a super 8 camera, Miller’s exercises began to define the directions of his current work. What, upon first glance, appears to be the tired student project that pervade the novice class of experimental film, a deeper inspection reveals Miller’s creation of a bizarre and surreal world just around the corner from your house. Contrapuntal sound reverses commonly seen images, and simple experimental devices distract the viewer into provocative thought. San Francisco’s skyline watched out a window appeals to a strange unfulfilled longing, so it shouldn’t surprise the reader that the scene is shot from a postcard found in Miller’s hotel, years before he ever took up residence there. Please note the first display of existential angst. Every ordinary event, every car-ride or ballgame take on an otherworldly effect. An escalator, found sound, a mirror… all objects often overlooked, suddenly presented turned on their own ear. Fixated Whereabouts means what it suggests as Miller’s universe stops at a place, records what it sees, interprets the material with a clash of the surreal, and then punctuates with moments of fright and wonder.
Motion Pictures by Coleman Miller

The larf of What Gives introduces Miller’s playfulness, foreshadowing a common theme throughout the future of Miller’s work. Surreal, experimental slapstick executed to perfection. Again produced at Monaco Lab, with materials and tools at his disposal.
Kirk, we hardly knew ya by Coleman Miller
USA, 1999, 12 minutes, 16 mm
Produced as an installation piece, ‘Kirk’ is the most basic of Miller’s work, never intended to be screened beyond that environment. But as we watch it today, the subject matter retains relevance. The pressures of business and technology barked out by the enigmatic Shatner, transposed with the inane pursuits of a culture that can’t understand why it should be bombed. Miller’s statement, though simple and cheaply produced, retains its’ humor in the light of such damning circumstance.
Take The L by Coleman Miller
USA, 2006, 3 minutes, digital projection
Using his 8 year-old, consumer level 1-chip digital video camera, Miller dials in the controls to capture a frighteningly sharp commuter train trip. Using a technique available to almost any beginner level FCP user, he transcends the viewer into a widely familiar but deeply disorienting and hypnotic landscape. In watching the center, the viewer can only imagine the thrilling moment when, as a child, they first held a kaleidoscope up to the light. But looking out toward the edges, Take The L will subtly reveal it’s common subject matter and remind the viewer of its’ reality. Once again Miller takes the most mundane of activities and develops it into an explosion of kaleidoscopic visual beauty and playfulness. Miller once again delivers stimulating execution of the most basic technique driven to its’ edges.
Heaven by Coleman Miller

Jon Nelson asked me to add some visuals to one of his audio mix cuts for a show in Minneapolis. I chose the one with Steve Martin talking about heaven. Of the two of those i really believe in Steve Martin.
Uso Justo by Coleman Miller
USA, 2005, 22 minutes, digital projection
Miller’s first narrative creation is like nothing you have seen before. Or since. Uso Justo (roughly translated: “Fair Use”) is restructured completely from an obscure 1959 Mexican film. Miller reaches deep into this black and white melodrama with both hands and turns it inside out. When an experimental filmmaker arrives to shoot his next film in the fictional town of Uso Justo, things start getting strange. The townsfolk are both thrilled and confused by the sudden arrival of this mysterious artist. As the invisible filmmaker pulls the strings, the unfolding story proves to be existential and hilarious, intelligent and stupid.

Hands Motherloade by Coleman Miller
USA, 2002, 4 minutes, digital projection
I put this together when my computer was acting like shit and crashing frequently. Coincidentally this was right after i had gone to my grandfather’s house and picked up a bunch of old metal sections of heating pipes, elbow joints, washer’s, nut’s, bolts, handtools, etc. So when the computer would crash i would go out on the back porch to my buckets of metal and try twisting up some sculpture. And i began to realize how much I liked working with my hands again. It was such a breath of fresh air – much better i thought than staring at a monitor. At the same time i would be watching and rewatching old 16mm educational films and noticing how almost every one of these had a close shot of hands.
The human hand. What a great tool. And taken for granted.

My sons and I have been training to climb the mountain in view to the right of the frame. Today we loaded up about 50 lbs. into our packs and made a quick assent to the top of Mt. Si in about 2 hours. We are a bit tired this evening but are now ready to climb Rainier next week after about 8 months of training. We first climbed Mt. Si (this mountain on which we are perched for these pictures) in January. It was freezing back then, covered with snow and blowing like crazy at the top. There are more pictures below from this rock and other places at the top of Si. see: www.flickr.com/photos/papalars/1411209154 & www.flickr.com/photos/papalars/2165789381 for some ideas.
Rainier looks a little small here but we know we will feel all of 14,410 ft through our bodies in about 7 days

A Digital Image from 2004 with the idea of creating a picture that told a story..........when I first saw this location, the frame within a frame motivated me to try and create a theme. The main message being there was a picture within a picture and within that the stark reality of facing the fact that in the midst of Life we are in Death. Experiencing opposites and learning to live with them affect everyone of us,all the days of our life.

Gold medal winner
Designed by Sarah Price
Built by Crocus.co.uk
The Telegraph Garden evokes the beauty and romance of wild areas of the British countryside.
Perennials, rushes, grasses and meadow flowers grow around an intricate pattern of pools in Chilmark limestone. The copper details draw inspiration from the mineral-rich upland streams and rills of North Wales and Dartmoor.
A stepping-stone walkway leads across an expanse of water to a simple seating area on a group of boulders. At the rear of the garden a glade of tall, graceful, multi-stemmed birch trees frames the scene.
The Chelsea Flower Show has been held in the grounds of the Chelsea Hospital every year since 1913, apart from gaps during the two World Wars.
It used to be Britain’s largest flower show (it has now been overtaken by Hampton Court), but is still the most prestigious. From the beginning it has contained both nursery exhibits and model gardens. Every year there have been exhibits from foreign countries as well as from Britain.
It is the flower show most associated with the Royal family, who attend the opening day every year.
Whatever you love about gardening, there’s something for you at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
‘Fresh’ is a brand new area that includes modern, inventive gardens with new design ideas, along with tradestands offering ingenious new products.

The Sky Above
Image by miskan
After work I had to go pick up Nat from this place she was at. While waiting for her to finish I parked my car infront of a building in the area, played some Jimi Hendrix on the stereo and just chilled. The building I was parked next to reminded me a lot of the buildings you find in Lebanon. It's an old building but it was in good condition. It had a large balcony that went from one side of the building to the other, something you don't see that much of here in Kuwait. The ceiling of the balcony also had wooden planks, something I have never seen before in Kuwait. Some small trees were also planted outside giving the place a very soothing feel. So sitting there in the car, windows rolled down, roof wide open and a nice sea breeze blowing, it just really felt like I was back in Lebanon. While sitting there day dreaming, I look up into the sky above and right on top of me was this lamppost. My sunroof kinda framed a shot of it and I was like yeah this looks interesting, so I took out my camera and shot this picture. I am generally into new stuff like the latest gadgets, the latest cars etc.. but I don't like old classic cars, antiques and stuff. The only exception to this is with old architecture. I just find older architecture more interesting and more colorful then the current modern stuff. The other day I was noticing the Phoenicia hotel color scheme in-front of Muthana Complex for example and I just loved it. The whole building used to be white but the balconies on the inside were baby blue. It was a perfect balance and I am sure it must have looked really fresh back in the days. If I ever built a house I would probably go with that style myself, all white except the inside of the balcony would be baby blue.
Crypt, Lincoln's Tomb
Image by jpmatth
day 11. this was a true ninja photography mission; i knew exactly the image i wanted before i even got to the location, and i was in and out within three minutes. i pulled up in the nearest parking spot to the tomb, grabbed my bag and put the camera around my neck, set the ISO and exposure to approximate values, and weaved in and out of tourist families on my way to the tomb. i waited outside while some people took pictures in front of the gold-nosed bust, then went in the door as quickly as possible. inside the main rotunda, the guide was chatting up a couple of people and another small crowd was milling around. i didn't see any "no photography here" signs so i walked straight through the rotunda and started to head toward the crypt. at this point the guide stopped me with a "sir! SIR!" and i braced for the inevitable lecture about "you can't shoot here." he said, and i quote: "feel free to use your camera anywhere! NO restrictions!" that took a second to sink in, but i wish i could have told him exactly how refreshing it was to hear. thank you, lincoln's tomb guide, for being awesome to photographers. i said a quick thanks and speed-walked through the halls to the crypt, switching to ISO 1600 along the way to handle the darkness. the crypt was perfectly empty when i got there, and i took five frames in under 30 seconds: three to nail down the exposure and two of the final composition. once i knew i had it, i wasted no time getting back out the halls, past the tourists in the rotunda, and back to my car. it was exhilarating. i felt perfectly in command of my skills.

Caltech Career Day '06
The Caltech Career Day was a great opportunity to visit my old digs. It is said that the tuition of all the students wouldn’t pay to upkeep the grounds. Inevitably building and grounds are hard at work replacing grass (twice a year) and gardening. One thing you can be sure of, in the City of Roses and in the school with too much money, there are going to be a lot of nice flowers.
Millikan Library is the tallest building in the area and looks like it belongs in the Johnson Space Center rather than in the traditional stone buildings of Pasadena and Caltech. The science sections take up the top three floors of this nine-story building, just as it should be. I thought I’d take a picture of it with the city’s eponymous roses in frame (and in focus), but it sort of reminded me of a gravestone when it came out.
My advisor once said that “fluid dynamics is the graveyard of many great physicists.” Given the number of take-home exams people take in that building, I’m sure it was Millikan Library was the graveyard of a great many physics majors.
Even though I had a very wide angle lens, I stopped down the aperture to keep everything in sharp focus and then composed my shot. The flower slid into a wonderful shaft of light and I took the shot even though a guy was walking by at that moment.
The polarizer did a great job of bringing out the blue sky, but I upped it a little more digitally. Since the building was falling away so much, I used a little digital keystoning to correct it (put I put in a tad too much pincushion)

Love and peace in living room

I thought this would go nicely with the chairs, tablecloth and the "three little birds" canvas (that you can't see on this picture though). The frame is just a cheap one, with really goes well with the paper print.

Blurry Happy People

More accidents waiting to happen. So often I get pictures back and notice the people in them are looking right at me and smiling. To those viewing my pictures Aberystwyth must look like the friendliest of places.....and I suppose it is :) Haven't been punched yet.
I quite liked this guy being so small but central in the frame. He looks quite isolated and it seems to fit for me but please let me know what you think. Plus, see if you can spot the second guy in this shot :)
Cherish
Image by kimberly.kalil
I haven't done any of the layouts from the Big Idea Festival over at Big Picture Classes ... until I saw the Day 7 prompt: Cherish.
Journaling:
... because, before you know it they aren’t so little any more. Cooper is only 2 years and four months old, but he’s nothing like the little baby we brought home the spring of 2009. He is talking all the time. He goes to preschool. He wears big-boy underwear. He’s mastered an iPad. He likes some of the same shows Shelby watches. He isn’t a baby anymore, not at all. I’m continually reminded how quickly the magical years of childhood pass. They grow up so fast. Cherish every single minute

Wizard Goosed Out of Time at the Living Mall
Image by Rusty Russ
Totally ridiculous image based on a failed attempt to merge a photo of a mall with some tall trees. I did get the "Living Mall" image to look OK, and will use it better in some future picture. But here I tried to make it more interesting by adding a wizard, time clocks, and a goose (which in reality is probably some other type of bird). Not at all the result I wanted, but here it is anywhay.

Suit

More nostalgia and more PhotoShop action. I actually have a print of a neolithic version of this image framed. It was taken with the second digial camera I ever had my hands on, that also only was able to go up to 1280x960, but since it would only take 8 pictures in that mode, I usually kept it at 640x480 as this picture is.
Through the wonders of PhotoShop I could bring a bit more life to it, although it is basically the same as I took it back in 2000.

This is my wife's solution to my accumulated photography "junk" which was cluttering up our den. She was a dedicated soul. She not only picked it out, but allowed me to make the final choice between different "acceptable" units. Then she sanded and painted it herself. It is a computer armoire from a local unfinished furniture company. See the notes for more info.
Strobist: Taken with my Nikon Coolpix 5700 so I could have my D80 with 70-200 VR in the shot. Nuked the scene with Sunpak 383 through satin umbrella against the camera at camera left-- sorry, but I didn't note the power. Fired w/GI radio trigger.

Brooklyn bridge from DUMBO
Image by Andrea [bah! la realtà!]
so busy that I can't really pick which shots to post--but I'm still posting them in hope of finding something decent.
still, I'm getting bored of too many pictures from the NY trip :-p luckily, it's almost over. almost
I don't mind this one, actually--I like the different frames, and although the foreground is not very nice, it makes sense if you are familiar with the place it was shot from.
or maybe I should crop the foreground out. wdyt?
A few nice digital picture frame images I found:
People Walking
Image by Bohan Shen_沈伯韩
I love trees and their shadows on walls and streets. I also love half-frame cameras, like Olympus Pen series and so on, and the images they make. They're full of uncertainties. They're dreams. The photo is taken by Olympus C5060WZ digital camera which has simply function to get .half-frame pictures. It's a little black fairy.
Red shoes
Image by crepuscolo
Months ago I bought a Holga camera, then I shot about three rolls of film without knowing where to develop them. I still don't know what to do, but tonight I used the red flash of the camera to give a funny touch to this photo: the colours and blur give it the look of 3D drawings you need those special glasses to look at... you know?
It's a fake Polaroid, I just mounted the digital picture into a frame 'cause this way it looks more like a snapshot. That's why I love digital tools...

Just Ain't What I Used To Be
Image by mbtphoto (away a lot)
My screws are still tight! But the external of the framing is beginning to wear out as well as the beauty of the paint is diminished!
utterly.... utterly...
Image by s2art
I first visited this area in 1987 at the begininng of my photo studies, at the time my then current girlfriend lived not far form here, I had myself grown up only a kilometer or two away. I recently returned having been practising my photo-skills for a few years longer to see what I might see.
Well I saw plenty, but the film is still unprocessed and I only took 3 digi-cam shots.
Fucking batteries.
Next visit, take my extra battery and who knows maybe a 747 will shoot through the frame in the background?
See where this picture was taken.
