Silkscreen Monoprint. / This is a variation from the original series of Monoprints titled Amsterdam to Adelaide, 1956. A Celebration of 50 years of becoming Australian. This features my mothers family; Opa, Oma, Tante Willy, Mum, Tante Anne, Liesje and Dirk. / This image stirs a lot of emotion in me as I can’t begin to imagine leaving everything you know behind, family, culture and language to move to an unknown place in hope of a better future for your family. Well done Opa, if you hadn’t I wouldn’t be here today!!! / ~ / More of my Works /
I suppose you can say I have always been a sucker for old cars, especially Hotrods. There is something about the design and style of the years gone by, that todays designers in the automotive world have lost…the subtle curves of the body line, the way the trim fits along the body, and the overall composition and style….rolling sculpture. Elegance and style which is no longer created by the manufacturers but now recreated by those who spend many a late night out in the garage building a Kustom, wielding the torch, throwing the lead, and hammering the seams. Art it one of it’s most purest forms. Creativity personified. This is quite an older shot but remains one of my favorites, the color in this and the reflection caught my eye when I first captured it. I am not a huge fan of tri-year Chevy’s, but this ‘56 was just to good to pass up. Hope you all like it as much as I do / —-John / —-—-—-—-—-—-—— See more on my website jdebordphoto.com / All artwork is © John De Bord, All Rights Reserved.

watercolor and acrylic on Strathmore My hubby and I went for a drive to get some fries and to enjoy them under the bridge. Along came this car. So we took a walk to it, asked the owner if we could take a photo of it. He stepped out of the car and said shoot away. This car is my dream car.
Under the Clocks was where everyone met at Flinders Street. This meant both people who were waiting for a specific person, or in some cases people who were just cruising around.This was taken on my way home from work, and I was attracted by the light and shade. / There was a full scale map of the metropolitan area which my main figure is examining, and then over the entrance are clocks indicating for each route the time of the next train, and a small pull down piece under this showing any particular differences or connections with that service. 20091215 180 views
Quite a few of them, actually about 19,300-odd, as of today,(June 22, 2009) since this self-portrait was taken in July 1954. I was on top of a hill in the middle of the wilderness in central Quebec province, Canada, while operating a survey station for the Royal Canadian Air Force. Please note the spick-and-span military attire. / The photo was taken with a Voightlander 35mm. camera, probably using Super XX black and white film. I’m using my dearly beloved Exakta Varex 35mm.SLR, with some combination of 105 mm. telephoto with a lens extension,probably a Plus filter, and a lens hood. Having little money to spend on anything, we made good use of those Plus and Minus lenses and extension tubes,which enabled us to get better telephoto, and better macros, depending on what combination we used. Experimentation did wonders! / I can’t imagine anyone wanting a copy of this, but I thought it might be fun to post on a few Groups where it was appropriate. Now I hope the moderators agree :) / Oh yes, the original slide was scanned with a Canoscan 4000US scanner in 2004.
