Smart Cars on grass.

Smart Cars on grass.

Two Smart fortwo coupes on display at Major's Hill Park during the Ottawa Tulip Festival.

I'm not sure if these cars are available to be won as some sort of prize, or whether they're just on display because Smart is a featured sponsor of the festival.

I guess if Major's Hill Park is being used for advertising purposes, that makes it "Major Shill Park", amirite?

(Finally, I've been waiting four years to use that pun but never had a good reason!)

Day 134

I thought my Sony P&S was dead it didn't work forever. Finally threw in some Duracell batteries before throwing it out and away it went. Guess its getting fussy the other batteries worked in everything else. I shot this at our local corner store. asked the clerk if I could set it on the counter and snap a shot. He kinda gave me a weird look...lol

Old Highway

I am not sure if this is a Canadian thing or not, but when new highways here in Canada are constructed the old ones are left to rot (or whatever asphalt does), and are then referred to as "the Old Highway". Every town or area has an "Old Highway." This is an "Old Bridge" on an "Old Highway".

Truck coming out of side of building

Visited Ottawa recently, via my home area, and Tweed, Perth, and Carleton Place; lots of pics taken. Anyway, I've always been amused by this vintage truck coming out of the side of this building.

Tweed, Ontario.

(Yes, rj; it's all part of Tweed's devious, sinister plot.)

Child and parents circa 1928
May 7, 2009 at 12:32 pm

Now and Here (mostly offline today) posted a photo:

Child and parents circa 1928

View larger on black.

This is a portrait of my father (top) with his parents. My father lived from September 8, 1923 to May 2, 2009. I never knew either of these adults, my grandparents, since both died before I was born.
___

Photo was taken by "The Maitland Studio", Stratford, Ontario, Canada around 1928. I scanned the original, did some cloning and healing to clean it up a bit, and tweaked lighting and contrast.

The photo itself was 4x6 inches, and sepia. I left something of the presentation, which I think is very nicely done. It is printed on very thick paper, the border of which is "roughed up" to show the white that you see -- sort of the "fuzzy border" decor of its time. The photo is mounted on a thick cardboard backing, with the decorative corners shown here. That in turn is mounted on a larger folding cardboard "stand".

A few things I find interesting about this portrait:
* the very dark background ensures that nothing but the people is shown; I am guessing that in studio there was a dark sheet behind them.
* The main (sole?) source of lighting seems to be above and slightly to the right of the photographer, unlike modern studio practice.
* There is vignetting bottom and top (but not sides). This is strongly applied at bottom, interesting because it blocks the adults' midsections. Is this just to focus attention up to the faces, or is there an element of modesty, perhaps?
* They are smiling -- the mother clearly so and the other two somewhat so. There is a clear attempt to show them all as "pleasant" -- common practice now, but very different from the "severe" portraits of the era before this photo. Perhaps by the 1920s exposures could be short enough to allow for a more "natural" look than earlier, when the subject had to sit as if frozen in stone through a longer exposure.

I think the photographer did an excellent job.
