... Good old Cat Leroy, holding down the front porch. He's using his nom de chat "Max" for contractual reasons. One can dial in a nice nostalgic sepia in StereoPhoto Maker, if one chooses. Oh, let's have one more:
It's the Aphrodite planter and the old wicker chair from the Historic Cottage's back garden, featured earlier as an anaglyph.
The Janus Museum Museum Shop is actually looking into the feasibility of offering a set of views for sale - more news, possibly, later.
... A tintype of two guys in cocked hats and another in a caped hood, very smart. Plus a dog. Should like to know the stories behind these here photographs.
It's hard to prove, but I'll bet that a 3D Cat/M3 Lee tank tableau is unique in the blogosphere at this time. But there is an exciting cat vs. cat-in-tank video, courtesy of Bombstalker:
The last [second to last] concert of the season of Washington Grove's Mousetrap Concert Series was very fine - very much up my particular alley. Gut, Wind and Wire is a trio of members of the Baltimore Consort - Ronn McFarlane, lute; Mindy Rosenfeld plays flutes, fifes and the whistle; and Mark Cudek on cittern, renaissance guitar, and bass viol. The program consisted of works from the renaissance, Elizabethan consort pieces, country dances, and some beautiful pieces by Ronn McFarlane, all played with considerable verve and brio. Let's go to the video:
The pieces in the set are The Dark is My Delight, John Come Kisse Me Now, The Ladyes Delight, and Jumpe at My Cozen. And you might want to check out both their album, and also Indigo Road, Ronn McFarlane's album of his own compositions.
After mentioning the difficulties of cat 3D photography last week, I thought I'd have another go at it while we took our first walk of the season to the New Old Footbridge. The pleasant weather and the peacefulness of the scene contributed to making the cats, including the usually turbulent Cat Natasha, quite still and meditative. Above, Natasha is in the foreground and Leroy's already on the bridge.
A quiet moment on the Old Footbridge. Contemplating the photo with the old red/blue glasses on, the 3D effect induces a state of calm reflective meditative peacefulness that probably has valuable therapeutic mental health benefits. Just take a deep breath, stare at Leroy and Natasha, and slowly let it out. Myself, I feel better already.
Of course, Therapeutic Stereo Cat Photography would be a whole lot easier if I had a true stereo camera, instead of using a regular camera and shooting twice - must seek out a generous grant.
... Is this moving story of one woman and the neighborhood cats. Here's the inscription:
The cats of the neighborhood follow me when I go out to the street, at the begining I thought that it was because I went to the market and they wanted something to eat, but then I realized that they always followed me, perhaps because I caress them and I give them something to eating when I can and I chat with them, I imagine that they nitice that I like them and they know I'm their friend and they reward me with their company, I thanks to San Francisco for this gift.
I appreciate the suggestion that when cats reward you with their company, it's a sort of miracle. The ex voto can be bid on here.
