This was my dad’s 1973 Raleigh. Not any special or high-end model, but of very special sentimental value.
I recently decided to (try to) rebuild it. I am going to pay for leaving it outside to be beaten by the elements for the last 8 years. This is the “before” state.
We were given a little wild strawberry plant about a year and a half ago by my brother-in-law. In her (she’s a girl, her name is Fraoulitsa) first spring in the city she did not show any major signs of development. We thought she was unhappy and that her chances of blossoming would be the same as the chances of a wild bird singing in a cage. We later brought in Mo the spearmint, so Fraoulitsa would have some company (and we could make some Mojitos).
This spring something changed. For reasons still unknown to us , she started having babies. This is her first one.
This is a time lapse experiment inspired by Chase Jarvis’ 21112 party pictures video. I wanted to try this technique ever since I first saw it and decided to give it a go at our own wedding party. Here’s the result:
Tech info:
(*) The strobe was sourced from a rental shop. No reference about the existence (or not) of overheating protection was found by Googling, so it was treated as non-protected. Thus, it ran at its lowest setting. Even though it recycled in 0.5sec @1/32, I preferred to shoot every 2sec to be safe.
