Today's #ThrowbackThursday#TBT is a little portrait I took a few years back with an old lens and an old technique. For nerds: This was done with my DSLR and a 1970's vintage lens mounted backwards with an adapter. It works, but it's terribly inconvenient. The aperture has to be wide open, your mag ratio is fixed, and you have to focus by minutely adjusting distance to subject. I think it took me 40,000 tries to get this, and I still consider it a lucky shot. #MacroPhotography#Nature#Bees
For #ThrowbackThursday, let's go back to an older post from @twwk on the original #Trigun anime entitled, "Fruits of the Spirit: The Kindness of Vash the Stampede"

@Ronathan Good Morning, Ron! Thanks for stopping by! It's too quiet here. When you tooted, I was dozing, I think. Supposedly reading... I'd been feeling great the past week or so. Today, Blah. Maybe I shouldn't have shown that #TBT video, yesterday? I listened to more of Bob's vids, and thought I was ok. How have you been? What's up for the weekend?
#TBT#ThrowbackThursday Summer, 2010, My ex (Bob Counihan) and I have a picnic on Spectacle Island, part of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. Here are the high lights of the round trip ferry ride, some time walking the island's paths, And lunching. No video of our dinner. I make a brief voice cameo near the beginning. The filming and production are all Bob. I don't know how much, of him, you see. https://youtu.be/G5Z_xGsZV0k
Watercolor splash painting of a classic vintage Wurlitzer jukebox.
Sadly, I haven't had the pleasure of seeing this classic machine do its magic, but I love the design and the mark it left not only on music but also on interior design.
Rafael’s presence in the photo as a teenage art student provides a glimpse into his early years as an artist. (middle) Circa 1950’s - way to “La Cueva” Barranquilla, Colombia
La Cueva was a vibrant cultural hub in the 50’s, where young artists & intellectuals gathered to exchange ideas & inspiration. It is interesting to see how artists' styles & techniques evolve, & how they're influenced by people & places. #TBT#lacueva#barranquilla#colombia#ayearforart#artbooster#springforart#fediart
