Thursday Theme Song: Traffic Jam

The worst traffic jams I had been in were during the Chinese New Year festivals when there is an exodus of Malaysian workers in Malaysia cities and in Singapore returning home for their reunion. We were stuck for 6 hours.

Traffic Jam by James Taylor

(Chorus)
Damn this traffic jam
How I hate to be late
It hurts my motor to go so slow
Damn this traffic jam
Time I get home my supper'll be cold
Damn this traffic jam

Well I left my job about 5 o'clock
It took fifteen minutes go three blocks
Just in time to stand in line
With a freeway looking like a parking lot

- Chorus -

Now I almost had a heart attack
Looking in my rear view mirror
I saw myself the next car back
Looking in the rear view mirror
'Bout to have a heart attack
I said

- Chorus -

Now when I die I don't want no coffin
I thought about it all too often
Just strap me in behind the wheel
And bury me with my automobile

- Chorus -

Damn...

Now I used to think that I was cool
Running around on fossil fuel
Until I saw what I was doing
Was driving down the road to ruin

Impossible Project Integral 4X5

We've had a difficult time with our under development 4X5 version of The Impossible Project's integral monochrome material, but some progress has been made. We did many, many tests of rails, spacers, pod configurations, sleeves, how to position the negative and more to try to get it to work with the 545 holder. While this result is not spectacular, it does show good promise. Especially interesting to me is the high apparent sharpness in the details, such as the book spine.

Shot with the Speed Graphic, of course, and scanned and flipped so the image reads the right way around. Like a Daguerreotype, integral images are reversed unless shot through a mirror.

WEEKEND THINGS

 A new drawing found (for next to nothing) on etsy .... I really like it framed.

 Some gorgeous friends came for dinner on Saturday night, so nice after such a rainy, yucky week "Friend Therapy" I like to call it !!!

 The blossoms I bought last weekend are still going strong ....

..... blossoms are good like that !!!

 These very yummy walnut tarts made by my daughter, made with spelt wholewheat flour, almond meal and other very good things, perfect with strong coffee (that was my Saturday breakfast) .....

 ..... and cuddles with this little guy, he's feeling the cold a bit more this winter.

It really was so nice to see the sun come out over the weekend after a very wet week .... here's hoping for a bit more ....

Hope you had a nice weekend.

The husband went on a work assignment. He was lucky, he went on a small plane and lots of helicopter rides.

LET'S DISCO

How amazing are these graffiti-like sequin installations by Danish/Czech artist Theresa Himmer .... the pieces, inspired by a glacier, volcano and waterfall really add some sparkle to these city walls in Reykjavik, Iceland !!!

West Malaysia and Singapore is separately by a narrow causeway. It makes me think of the Detroit River when I sat at a little park on the Canadian side and looking across to USA.
