tunnelprotius
: I went riding with Xydexx on July 10'th 2005...
protius

protius
: This is Geoff's mice, a bit of modern art which occured at work.
protius
: This is my desk. As you can see, I need a bigger one.
gatesofcentralparkprotius
: I went to look at the Gates of Central Park in New York on Febuary 20, 2005
protius
: This was taken on the same walk which I took the pictures of the Christmas lights on. There was a single incandesent deer off on the right which was the original subject. But it got blown out by the long exposure. So I'm going with the trees and the reflected road, with the single house framed at the top. 4 minute exposure on plus-x 125, f8 I think.
protius
: Yet another picture of my holography apparatus. It is currently configured for making reflection holograms from transmission masters. It also looks like something which escaped from the 1950's...
protius
: Tighter shot on the holography apparatus.
fc-2005protius
: Some pictures I took at Further Confusion 2005
protius
: Processing area, currently with a couple of the gladware trays I use for holograms. The black box is full of VRP-M plates. The box in the lower left corner is a pulsed laser (YAG, externaly frequency doubled). This area is also used for B&W processing, soldering, fabrication, and just about everything else...
protius
: Doug had a Newyears party, and we were having a good time playing apples to apples. At about 12:08, someone noticed that it was infact 2005, so champane was deployed. Steve got a very odd glass, it had a remarkibly dense and consistant stream of bubbles in it. So we spent about 10 minutes photographing it. Steve was not entirely happy, he wanted to drink it...
protius
: Slightly tighter shot on the champane.
protius
: Hologram number 24.1, reflection hologram on VRP-M, 2:1 (ref:obj) beam ratio, 120 microjoules/cm^2 (ten seconds) with 532nm (Compass 315M laser). Thus is the first hologram I shot on glass. correcting the polarization of the beams so they were not orthogonal made the reflection holograms actualy come out...
protius
: Ilford varidot paper in dektol for 1 minute, 1 minute exposure, F-smallnumber, this was with the lens wide open. I badly missed with the plane of focus (I was aiming for the wooden chair at the table. This was the first 8x10, though the gate is actualy closer to 7 3/4 by 9.
protius
: The shakedown of the view camera continues. This makes my living room look much bigger than it really is. Ilford varidot paper in dektol for 1 minute, 10 minute exposure, F-largenumber (I have a cardboard disk with a hole about 1/4 inch in diameter which I stick in the lens.)
protius
: My brother's hobby is climbing. There is a specific thing called bouldering where one does a very short (10 to 30 minutes) but very difficult route. Generaly not very high up (IE: less than 20 feet). plus X, F16, 60'th second, overexposed when printed.
protius
: Some of my neighbors very firmly believe in christmas lights. I wandered around last night and took pictures of several of the displays. There is a neighborhood contest. plus-X, F16, 4 seconds.

protius
: This is the roof of my patio, under construction. I liked its geometric look. plus-X
protius
: This is a spinny thing... It was photographed in my back yard, and is about 8 feet in diameter.
protius
: This is my tricycle, all covered with cylume tubes for the Vienna Haloween parade, being ridden accross my backyard, with the shutter open. The colors wern't actualy that bright on the print.
protius
: This is the experimental view camera. Please forgive the digital imagery...
protius
: This is the second successful image taken on an experimental viewcamera. polycontrast 2 paper, 20 second exposure, the lens is uncalibrated, but has an about 6 inch focal length. The paper was then processed in D19 (I didn't have any Dektol, and was feeling impatient), then scanned, inverted and flopped with gimp.

protius
: This is pondering a high tension power line along the WOD bike trail. I was pondering geometric patterns and symatry. ASA 160, 1/8 of a second, camera balanced on a bar. Double-exposure, unfortunately...
protius
: This is Tet fiddling with a bubble thing in the back yard. Its an extremely old image, I don't remember the details...
protius
: This is KJ lurking at the camp fire. I believe the exposure was on the order of 30 seconds, note how the fire has too many flames.
