There are stories in Photographs and their story is part of what makes the image special. It's nice to share pictures and get feedback and this is the place you can do that. It's a place to socialise with other members, get to know new friends and learn. So Snap happy and drag out those images and lets get a slide show going.

ellinor the site editor is a bit temperamental when it comes to large files. it cant handle them. you might need to use something else to edit the size of your images - maybe download GIMP the link is up in the Welcome and Guideline area.

How Many Messages?

Walking near the campus of the University of Michigan one afternoon, I came across this telephone pole, bristling with staples, in some areas so densely packed that the wood beneath was completely obscured. It made me wonder about the countless messages that had been posted over the years. I imagined a series of announcements, advertisements, political statements, apartments for rent, job opportunities, and lost pets. The list seemed as endless as the staples.

Cool photo with it's own interesting story.

It reminds me of one of our members, Mo Godbeer. She did a series of paintings based on a wall that she would pass regularly. It was all scuffed with paint from cars who brushed along it. Paint layers that had partially chipped off and revealing previous colours... you get the picture...

It funny how inanimate objects can seem to have a life and a history of their own.

I have shared these pics with LMM before, but I thought I would share them here as well. I took these picture on a very grey and rainy day through a window. Then I played around with them in Gimp - mostly with "white balance", "Colour enhance" and applying something called an "alien map". I subsequently had these printed on aluminium plates which turned out pretty cool.

I must have missed these when you posted earlier. Thanks for sharing again they're cool. I'll bet they look great printed up big.

I too love the second, the contract between grey and red looks great.

I really like the watery feel of the second one and the red tones in it.

Thanks for the nice comments, Danielle, Ellinor, and Wendy. These are by far my favorites of all my photographs.

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.

And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).

I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
