A little dot of white makes an interesting B&W form go all crazy abstract. Part design, part imagination on the viewer's part. Click and make the photos bigger; do you have a preference for either photo? Inside the boathouse at Alford Lake it was very dark, so I used a small flashlight in the scene to focus the camera. I could see if looked cool, so I made a photo on purpose before removing the flashlight. By leaving in the led flashlight, it receives a bit of inspiration from George's Seeley's 1907 "Firefly" pictorialist photograph (you'll never find a nice scan of it online, but it's in the Camera Work compilation book if you have that) with the later modernist experiments in abstraction. Photographed with my speed graphic, 9" Gundlach Hyperion soft focus lens, and 4x5 tmax 400 film.

Unedited scan of the negative. This may be a challenge to print once I'm back in the darkroom.

Glass abstract by Bill, on Flickr
I shattered my ground glass on an excursion to a state park the other day, and ground a new one in a hurry before going back. I couldn't make any images on that trip for another reason, but I saw the dried out grinding media left on the other piece of glass and thought it was interesting enough to photograph.
8x10 Afga green x-ray film exposed at 50 iso, developed in HC-110 1+60 for 5 minutes at 23°C, contact printed onto Ilford multigrade RC.
That's beautiful, Bill! Nice tonality, very well seen & executed.
