October 24th

“Shane! Phone!”

Still half-asleep, Shane cracked open the bathroom door with toothbrush in mouth to answer Marnie’s call. “Kin’a bushy—tell ‘em to call ba’ in like, a few minutes.”

“Alright,” she held the phone to her ear, “sorry Ashe, he said to call back in a few minutes.”

“Wai’ wai’ wai’, you di’n’t say it was Ashe—”

Hurriedly Shane spat the foamy toothpaste in his mouth into the sink and opened the door wider, hand outstretched to take the phone. Marnie stifled a laugh behind her hand and returned to the kitchen to give the call some privacy.

“What’s up, chickadee?”

“Shane you need to come over and see this right now, I need to know if what I’m looking at is real or not, it just popped up out of nowhere overnight—”

Ashe was frantic, speaking so quickly that Shane almost couldn’t keep up with him.

“Ashe, I’m having a slow start today. What’s going on?”

He could hear Ashe take a deep breath on the other end.

“Okay, so,” he began, slower this time, “you know my pumpkin patch?”

“Yeah? What about it?”

“Well, when I went to bed last night everything was just fine, and this morning—you have to come and see it yourself. You’re not going to believe me if you don’t.”

“There’s a literal wizard living in a tower in the forest and monsters in the mines. Trust me, I can believe a lot.”

“And there’s a shadow man living in the sewers!” Jas piped up from the kitchen.

“Right, and the shadow man—” Shane did a double-take. “Okay, that’s a new one… And quit eavesdropping on me.”

“Not my fault you’re talking so loud!”

Jas sure was getting an attitude lately. He stepped back into the bathroom and shut the door as much as he could without severing the phone cord.

“Look, bugaboo, I’m happy to come and see you this morning. You just gotta give me like, twenty minutes to wake up. I haven’t even had any coffee yet.”

“Okay…” Ashe sighed. “Sorry, I know it’s early still… It’s just, calling you was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this.”

“And trust me, I’m more than happy about that.” A grin split Shane’s stubbled jaw. “I’ll be over in a bit.”

 ###

 Shane didn’t know what to expect when he made the trek up to the farm, but it certainly wasn’t the carriage-sized pumpkin sitting snugly right in the center of Ashe’s prized pumpkin patch.

“… Is that a giant ass pumpkin?” He asked as the farmer jogged down the dirt path to meet him. “Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?”

“See?! That’s what I thought too!” Ashe gestured for him to climb over the fence surrounding the patch so they could both see the behemoth up close. “And it’s not just this,” he waved a hand to the rest of the patch, “all of these just ripened overnight.”

“Jesus fuck,” Shane rubbed his freshly shaved chin, “where was this at the fair? You’d have won the grange for sure… What are you gonna do with it?”

“Well… Hm. I didn’t think about that yet.” Ashe rapped on the outside of it with his knuckles—a nice, deep sound resounded throughout—and took a step back, pursing his lips in thought.

Shane gave him a few minutes as he tried to warm his cold fingers with his breath. Come to think of it, he only just now noticed that Ashe had taken to wearing some… untraditional clothing on the farm. It was mostly girly clothes, lots of pastel colors and frills and bows—one day he went around doing his chores in a skirt, even.

“… Bugaboo, can I ask you something?”

“Hm? Ask me what?”

“It’s just… Hoo boy, how do I say this…” He rubbed the back of his neck. “I… noticed you’ve been wearing some different clothes lately. Today too,” he nodded towards the outfit he was in now, a lavender tunic and leggings, “and I just—if you’re, y’know—I mean, what I’m trying to say is—I don’t know a lot about LGBT stuff, but you know you can always tell me if you’re using different pronouns, or you want to try out a different name, or… yeah.”

“Oh.” Ashe looked down at himself. He seemed almost… embarrassed.

“And that’s not to say that there’s anything wrong with you just wanting to wear girly clothes, either,” Shane added hastily in response. “You do you. I’ll support you no matter what.”

“… Thank you…”

Ashe wore a bashful little smile as he lifted his face to look up at Shane. “But I’m not—I’m happy as a guy. It’s just,” he uncomfortably tugged at the scarf wrapped around his neck, “Haley’s using me as a human dummy for her clothing and photography. I really don’t like wearing most of this stuff, honestly.”

“Well--- tell her that, maybe?”

“… You don’t tell Haley no.”

“Get Emily to tell her then. Hell, I’ll march down there and bring it up for you if you want.”

“Nonono, that’s okay! It’s not a big deal, I can put up with it! It’s just until Haley gets into this college she’s been eying.”

“Bugaboo, give people like her an inch and she’ll take a mile.”

Ashe sighed. “I know… I’ll… talk to her. Eventually. I’ve got too much other stuff to worry about right now.”

“… Yeah, that’s fair.” He paused, then, “For what it’s worth… you look cute no matter what you’re wearing.”

A red hue flared up on Ashe’s cheeks. “Hehe… thanks, Shane.” He looked back to the giant pumpkin. It was reassuring to know that, even if he did start to question himself, Shane would be right there with him the whole time. It meant a lot.

And then, an idea came to him.

“I’ve got it!” He clasped his hands together. “I can make this pumpkin into a giant carriage prop for Spirits’ Eve!”

“We.” Shane nudged him with his elbow. “You can’t hollow this thing out by yourself before the festival.”

“I could ask Rasmodius to help.”

“… Okay, what is the deal with that guy?”

Unorthodox Cameras

I became curious to see if anyone else had attempted to create “home-made” cameras (using everyday domestic items or household items). I cannot be the first person to have stumbled upon this and there had to have been more sophisticated examples of cameras used as opposed to sandwiches. 

I found Brendan Barry who a UK based artist that uses household objects as the main base for the camera including; bread.

Who is Brendan Barry?

Brendan Barry is a UK based photographer who went on to found the Dartmoor Summer School of Photography or “Positive Light Projects”. 

Barry believes transformation as a key tool to a photographer, from transforming ordinary household objects into cameras or transforming environments into picturesque settings for scenes.

Where did I find him?

I found him on Instagram, through @exposurephotofestival as they follow his photography page and I decided to look for inspiration on my project through their network.

Why are they relevant?

I found him relevant mainly because of his creative way of using household objects to take pictures as perhaps this could be a new explorative direction for my final year work next term as the mold can be limiting at times and it would allow me to be more involved with making images again as I have felt rather removed from the process recently.

Their work...

The first example is his ‘pumpkin’ camera. The pumpkin has been hollowed out completely and has been fitted with the front lens and back end of a 5x4 camera (Barry specializes in large format). The artist even includes a view into the fact that the camera works, showing what will appear on the film through the viewfinder. 

His work is also shown on “PetaPixel”.

This is the camera that he made from a loaf of bread, sealing any holes with strong tape so that the image wouldn’t be affected by outside light or ‘fogged’. I am tempted to pursue a method like this next term however I am unsure if I would be able to take apart a 5x4 camera in order to do this nor would I be able to find a way to incorporate mold into this however, this is next terms issue.

This is the result of using the bread camera, the image is particularly dark and very highly contrasted BUT it proves that an image cane be taken using bread or an item similar to this.

Halloween 2017

[mathew-rooney-photography]

Day 304 of 365 Photo Challenge. HAPPY HALLOWEEN. A jack-o'-lantern (or jack o'lantern) is a carved pumpkin, turnip, or other root vegetable lantern associated with Halloween. Its name comes from the phenomenon of a strange light flickering over peat bogs, called will-o'-the-wisp or jack-o'-lantern. The name is also tied to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, a drunkard who bargains with Satan and is doomed to roam the Earth with only a hollowed turnip to light his way. In a jack-o'-lantern, the top of the pumpkin or turnip is cut off to form a lid, the inside flesh is scooped out, and an image—usually a scary or funny face—is carved out of the rind to expose the hollow interior. To create the lantern effect, a light source, traditionally a flame such as a candle or tea light, is placed within before the lid is closed. However, artificial jack-'o-lanterns with electric lights are also marketed. It is common to see jack-o'-lanterns on doorsteps and otherwise used as decorations prior to and on Halloween. The story of the jack-o'-lantern comes in many forms and is similar to the story of Will-o'-the-wisp retold in different forms across Western Europe, including, Italy, Norway, Spain and Sweden. In Switzerland, children will leave bowls of milk or cream out for mythical house spirits called Jack o' the bowl. An old Irish folk tale from the mid-18th century tells of Stingy Jack, a lazy yet shrewd blacksmith who uses a cross to trap Satan. One story says that Jack tricked Satan into climbing an apple tree, and once he was up there, Jack quickly placed crosses around the trunk or carved a cross into the bark, so that Satan couldn't get down. Another version of the story says that Jack was getting chased by some villagers from whom he had stolen. He then met Satan, who claimed it was time for him to die. However, the thief stalled his death by tempting Satan with a chance to bedevil the church-going villagers chasing him. Jack told Satan to turn into a coin.
