Kodachrome bit the dust as the favorite film of our memories when it was retired in 2009. It was about that time the artist discovered the tin boxes full of Kodachrome slide transparencies. These images had not seen daylight or been viewed for many years. After scanning all 561 of the sides, he was able to see many images that had been forgotten with time. The look of Kodachrome is warm and inviting. A very special look, especially in the digital era. The artist decided to practice on these images in Aperture 3 to see what can be done with these "color positives" on both good images and bad images.

Still life with a bowl of cherries. Simple, obvious and on hand. Coupled with some unique lighting these images almost look as if they were shot under stark moonlight. These images are completely in color – no adjustments were made to make the background look monochromatic. Thanks for visiting and please come back often!

The Beginnings Of The Martin D-28
The  shape of the body of the guitar which would become the venerable Martin D-28 was made with a wider waist than was thought customary at the time and a much deeper body. This guitar design first appeared in 1916 on a range of guitars made by a partnership of the C.F. Martin guitar company of Nazareth, Pennsylvania and the Oliver Ditson Company, a retail and wholesale distributor with outlets in Boston and New York. Very few examples of this guitar style exist today, and should one present itself to collectors, it would fetch a huge price.

The D-28 Enters Hits The Market In Full Production
In 1931, C.F. Martin introduced the D body shape guitars, the D-1 and the D-2. The D stands for Dreadnought which is the name for the largest  of British battleships. Extremely limited numbers of the D-1 and D-2 were made and they have become the most collectible of all guitars. When the guitar went into full production, it was entered into the familiar Martin guitar numbering system. The system consisted of a letter of the alphabet to designate body size and shape and was followed by a number to indicate the style of finish and woods used. There were many of the D-Series guitars that were made. Some were less fancy than others using mahogany wood for the body. Some of the D-Series guitars were very ornate with herringbone trim features and exotic woods. The Martin D-28 used a Brazilian rosewood for the body and that is what has found its way into the souls of guitarists from all genres of music.

The King Played A Martin D-28 And Made It Cool
Why did country and rockabilly stars such as Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, Hank Snow and George Jones pick the Martin D-28? Well, the D-28 put out a big booming rhythm sound full of big fat bass but it would also cover the upper ranges equally as well. This sound was perfect for rockabilly, country music and bluegrass music. And the rest, as they say....is history.

The D-28 Is Still Handmade After All These Years
The D-28 has stayed largely the same shape since 1934. The construction has changed a little over the years with only slight variations on the original design. East Indian rosewood is now used in the construction of the guitar instead of the original Brazilian rosewood. Martin has also reduced the size of the neck and made some alterations to the herringbone trim features. C.F. Martin still calls its guitars "hand made” — because they are still handmade the way they used to be made. The Martin D-28 Dreadnought is easily the most copied guitar of all-time  because it is most desired guitar of all-time.

An old naval artillery piece, all alone, in a brilliant early morning sun. Naval artillery or naval rifles refers to warship-mounted guns used in naval warfare for attacking enemy vessels, bombarding targets on shore, or for anti-structural demolition. Conversely, the term may be used as a descriptor about the naval rifles used in land batteries for anti-shipping area denial purposes. Smaller-bore guns are sometimes referred to as deck guns, such as on Coast Guard cutters and destroyers. A powerful gun and and even more powerful image. Thanks for viewing!

A very super kick ass  punk rock band called The Slits was formed in the U.K. in 1976 as punk quartet of daring visionary women. These women came from bands called The Castrators and The Flowers Of Romance. A few changes in the lineup were made along the way including the addition of a male drummer (Budgie a/k/a Pete Clarke who later joined Siouxsie & The Banshees). You may not know it, but The Slits opened for The Clash on their 1977 White Riot tour. They were also one of the featured bands in the Don Letts film production called The Punk Rock Movie.

At first listen, the whole sound of The Slits will take you off-guard as soon as you hear their sound. It's catchy, fun, bitchy and rebellious all at the same time. The rhythm sense of this band is absolutely amazing and rarely has it been duplicated. A very catchy syncopated rhythm coupled with the jump-start slashing attitude of punk makes for some very interesting music. Nobody else in the punk rock scene even came close to their punk attitude and artistic sensibilities (or their amazing sense of rhythm).

While some punkers may have found the genre to be a good excuse to abuse their bodies, their equipment and our musical tastes, a band called The Slits had a unique sound from the beginning. Unfortunately, the music business glorified the less deserving and the less capable artists of the punk rock genre. As a band, The Slits only managed two studio albums and they can be heard on three live albums and a couple of compilations. Forget the punk rock nomenclature – The Slits are an extremely creative band who once appeared on the sharpest edge of their craft. They deserve a better listen and better opinion from true music fans. Oi Oi Oi !

A modern day revolt in the way of a "Tea Party." With obvious references to the Boston Tea Party in 1773, dissatisfied American citizens showed up in various cities across America on Friday February 27, 2009 to send a clear message to the politicians in Washington. Packing tea bags and pork rinds, these protesters showed up to protest what they perceive as a villain – the United States Congress and the Executive branch of our government. Viva la revolution!
