Have you taken your dramamine today?

Jonathtan is of course Mr. subtle good taste so I feel it's my duty every now and again to post something truly awful.

I call that one Jim in the Peach tree....

and this one Pam in the Vortex.

The purpose was to illustrate purposefully making an image that swirls.  I used my 9" Verito on my 8X10.

Hey Jim

I think the darker background behind Pam and friend looks unobtrusive and kind of pleasant. The whiter background behind you looks more 'helter skelter'. You'll be interested in my poking around the subject of paper negs.

I've also talked to John Nanian, and have been surfing around Freestyle. I'm going to try their Efke direct positve paper, I'm getting the Rollei LC dev from them, also the Ansco 130 equivalent from Formulary, and play w/both dev, and some fixer in a couple of weeks.

Take care

Looking at these shots again, it's interesting, you look like you're in the background, Pam looks like she's in front of the background. I also like one of Steve Nichols shots w/this lens w/the same effect.

You either hit a home run or a foul ball w/these lenses when it comes to the 'swirlies', nothing in between.
