The Icebergs by Frederick Edwin Church used to be on the No Photography list.
This is a Triptych of a series of images of an empty barrel vault and adjacent galleries at the Dallas Museum of Art. This is a rare sight and usually can be seen only once a year after the Beaux Art Ball held late in April.

This past Friday I experimented with a German recipe for wienerschnitzel. I served it with German Potato Salad and Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage.
In the last 15 minutes of light I headed out to the front pasture to photograph the most recent filly foal which was born last week. I caught her running to her dam.
This is another photo of the first foal of the year. She is also a filly
I caught these two fillies visiting. They will soon be really tight buddies
In the 19th Century, photographic portraiture was a very different process than today. In order to get a good image, the subject had to sit very still for up to a minute to avoid motion blur. Instead of the ISO of 400+ we have now with our digital portraits, the colloidal glass "Film" was rated about ASA 1. To demonstrate the time required to sit still for such a portrait, we had our video portrait taken to see of we had what it takes to keep a straight face. In this "out take" Chuck D'Arcy sits for his video portrait by artist of the month, Romie Faienza. After taking the portraits, we viewed them to see if we passed the stillness test. After this experiment we went to a lecture and demonstration of colloidal glass plate photography by France Scully Osterman.
This past Friday and Saturday I photographed the Western Bloodstock Super Stakes Sale
in Fort Worth. Links to the images may be found on my America's Cutter Blog.
