  • The MIL lived in an old farmhouse Nr Looe and this was an actual old working stove on which she did her cooking. The recounting of her childhood gave me the idea as to how children bathed in earlier times. Shot two days before we emigrated to Australia 13 yrs ago, this is taken from a scanned and cropped neg portraiture

    Following several knock backs and aborted attempts to gain access to Paul Vanzella I have finally managed to jimmy the lock and enter the building that houses his workshop. It’s quite dirty to look at, yet remains aesthetically pleasing at the same time (much like a lot of his work). I have no doubt that I’m going in the right direction. There are bright flashes of light from the other end of this cavernous room, a cackling laughter can be heard along with a drone of generators / I’m entering the inner sanctum, the magic place that Paul (the Van Man) Vanzella creates his masterpieces. It’s hard to get into the corner, the bric a brack thickens as you get closer, then after squeezing between a digger and a airplane fuselage (that I’m sure I have seen before), I’m there! Blinking in the full glare of the spotlights lighting this whole area! / “WHO DARES DISTURB ME?” booms a voice from the shadows, I can just make out the outline of a figure in the lights. It looks like one of the aliens from Close encounters!!! Shock horror – Paul Vanzella is not human, hold on a moment, that’s hardly news is it, I mean we have all seen his work! / From behind me I hear movement, like the wind through silk curtains, suddenly I realise that I’m not here in the light on my own! Oh no the Van-man is in the middle of a shoot, that means if I turn round I’ll get an eyeful of Jo (No Clothes) O’Brien. / Trying to ‘nonchalantly’ turn around, I manage to avoid the expected whiplash and there in front of me stands No Clothes O’Brien ! In the nip , her birthday suit, wearing just a smile! Do I need to go on? / She looks less than happy at me being there! “how dare you” she squeeks, “we were just in the middle of recreating the Venus Di Milo! But we were going to call it the Jo Di Milo” ahh that explains the strange yellow sheen to Miss O’Brien’s skin, and here was me thinking it was jaundice. She makes no move to hide herself, instead she hisses, “best look elsewhere four eyes or I’ll turn those glasses your wearing into contact lenses!” she’s not joking there’s a real violence in her you can see it in her eyes and the scabs on her knuckles! / Turning back was where I got the whiplash “just do exactly as I say and nobody will get hurt” she whispered into my ear “isn’t that right Pauly?” she cackled. The lights dimmed and I could make the Van Man out a little clearer, he wasn’t an alien he was chained to the camera, in fact 5 camera’s hung round his neck making him visibly stoop, his ankles were chained together…a look of the defeated in his eyes he mouthed “Help Me…”. / So there we have it, Paul Vanzella is being held against his will and forced to take pictures of Jo ‘No Clothes’ O’Brien (his number one fan!), in her dastardly scheme to take over the bubble with the power and volume of her image. Oh the inhumanity of it! PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EPISODES FOLLOW ON FROM EACH OTHER IN A SOAP OPERA STYLE. WHILST EACH EPISODE SHOULD BE A STORY IN ITSELF IT IS HOPED THEY THREAD TOGETHER. THERE ARE MORE EPISODES TO READ, JUST CLICK HERE! SOAP BUBBLE please note that all comments are completely fictitious and intended to be humorous. The journal relates to my interpretation of the art and to stories that I make up about the artist as a bubble characters rather than focusing on the real people behind the art

  • We feel very strongly about animal rights and hope that someday our artistic efforts may help change some minds. Animal testing is a barbaric practice that is not only cruel, but also unnecessary and inconclusive. Some examples of testing alternatives used in the U.S. are: / / • National Cancer Institute adopted in vitro initial screen for anti-cancer compounds – immediately replacing more than a million mice per year. / / • Episkin – a reconstructed human in vitro epidermis for evaluation of corrosivity of cosmetics, pharmaceutical and chemical compounds. / / • Corrositex – a two-chambered system with collagen membrane. Color (pH) change when test chemical penetrates to indicator chamber (widely used in the U.S. and Europe for corrosivity testing). / / • Computerized chemical structure-activity relationship (SAR) and knowledge-based expert systems allow prediction of efficacy and safety/toxicity of new compounds. / / • Epiocular- a reproducible, multi-layered human cell-derived tissue for testing ocular irritancy of chemicals and other materials. / / • EpiAirway- is a three-dimensional culture of human tracheal-bronchial epithelial cells for pre-clinical studies of inhalation drugs. / / • Epiderm- is a reproducible, three-dimensional, human cell-derived skin tissue for studies of corrosives and irritants. / / • Ames test uses specific strains of common bacteria to detect genetic changes caused by test substances – mutagenesis and carcinogenesis possibilities. / / • Toxicogenomics utilizes DNA chips to identify pattern of gene changes characteristic of specific toxicity endpoints. Will ultimately replace nearly all current animal-based tests. / / Examples taken from the AAVS website.

  • A bit gross, yes, when you really think about it, but lovingly inspired by my dad. Thank God I don’t live at home anymore.

  • My Mother always has a large jar of soap on the bathroom bench. / Firtsly, because you always need a spare, / Secondly because she thinks it looks good….. / I think so too.

  • This is a photograph of a soap bubble. I think it’s the most spectacular bubble photo I’ve seen, but then again I would say that. I’ve taken maybe 20,000 bubble photos before getting one with such a clear reflection. Lots of practice!!!

  • This photograph is one of a series. Ted created soap bubbles and special light/color arrangements. This is the first one. / Macro photograph captured by Ted Widen. / /

  • ... Oh well… it is not Red Bubble, but that’s the best I’ve got right now :-)) I was playing with my camera and I was curious if I can fetch the interference patterns on soap bubbles. I messed up my kitchen (you can see blinds) a bit. Inteesting aspect of this picture is that it displays both geometric (image) and physical optics (interference patterns)simultanously Published in the June 2009 issue of the Optics & Photonics Newa (Official monthly journal of the Optical Society of America) Canon 40D, Canon 28-135mm @ 50 mm / 1/60 sec / f/4.5 / ISO 400 / metering pattern. / no flash / I am not sure where is a pair of bright spots (front and back at the center) coming from. I figured it out: central spot is my kitchen light! Duh! I’ll have to re-take it now that I know where I goofed up.

  • A soap bubble in the process of popping. This is a true photograph – the only editing is a tiny raise on colour saturation.

  • The phenomenon of light reflecting off a soap bubble is rarely observed. The iridescent colours are caused by interfering light waves, some of which reflect off the outer surface. I used a macro lens in order to capture this in detail. No adjustments were made to colour or saturation in Photoshop, only a simple square crop! As featured in the group ‘Super Macro Photography’ – 10/07/09 Thank you to all who stop by to have a look, it’s much appreciated, as are your comments! Copyright © Lesley Williamson 2009

  • Okay, Red decided that it was finally time for a bath. He kept looking up from the birdbath as if to say you’re out of soap! A little while back a bird, also splashing, said the same thing – guess I’d better get some soap for these critters! Red loves to splash in this bath – especially on hot days! As is, untouched from camera taken June 2009 in Rumney, NH. Camera Canon PowerShot SX10 IS / Shutter speed 1/40 sed. / Lens Aperture F/5.7 / Focal Length 100mm / F-Number F/5/7 / Exposure Time 1/40 sec. / ISO Speed ISO-200 / Metering Mode Pattern / Exposure comp 0 step

  • I think this is approaching perfection, in terms of what I set out to capture. Maybe nail varnish would complete this. ;-) The weather conditions this morning were absolutely perfect. There was absolutely no wind, the bubbles just hung in the air, and there was even cloud cover – like a giant diffuser created just for me. The lighting of this shot is natural – sunlight. The Nikon D90 is great for giving clear images at high ISO (here ISO 800); making this shot possible.
