365 2023 Hipstamatic week 2

This week I’m trying a combination of Lumière Lens with Delauney 1941 film. The film is named after Sonia Delauney, a French artist who co-founded the Orphic Cubist art movement, and the film adds a cubist filter to pictures and does funny things with colour.

Phil and I went over to the coast and had coffee in Marsden Grotto, a gastro pub now, it started out as a home for a chap known as Jack The Blaster back in 1782.

A lead miner from Allendale, Jack Bates and his wife Jessie moved to the area in 1782. It is alleged he moved into a small cave at Marsden Rock either after refusing to pay rent on his house in Allendale or simply having nowhere to live. Using explosives from a local quarry, he blasted the small cave into a much larger one, earning his nickname “Jack the Blaster” in the process and creating a rent-free and landlord-free home. The dwelling was accessed by zig-zagging stairs down the cliff, thought to be built by Jack. The unusual and eccentric choice of dwelling attracted visitors, which the couple supplied with refreshments at a cost. It is suggested that he became involved in smuggling activities – offering refreshment to smugglers using caves of the coastline to hide contraband cargo.

Back to work. The converted farm building in which I work, the land it sits on and surrounding fields are owned by the Duke of Northumberland. He is building 310 houses on the land next to us and last week put up a prefab sales office in our car park. This chap was laying slabs for a path to the office door.

The rains came, and didn’t stop.

Wednesday January 12th
I finish work at 2pm on Wednesdays and go straight to Asda to do the weekly shop. The car park in our Asda is down a slight gradient, and it was still raining.

Once a month I go to my pal Kendal’s place to have my nails done. I’m not really bothered about them any more but I’ve been going for over 10 years and I’d miss her if I didn’t go, plus she needs the money! This is her 18 month old son William, and a bowl of spaghetti in tomato sauce. He scoops some spaghetti into his spoon nicely, then picks it out of the spoon with his fingers and shoves them in his gob. 🤣 He is quite adorable.

I was hoping to do my blogpost for yesterday at this point on Friday. Sigh.

Went to the local shop for a few bits and bobs, a blue sky morning but cold!

And that’s week 2 finished. I quite like this combo of lens and film, but next week I’ll be moving on.

  2. The cubist filter thingy is really interesting, but it seems as though it would only work with very particular subjects, in shots you’d have to compose pretty strictly. I like what it did to the sky in the header pic. The baby not so much. Is “gob” a mouth or face?

  6. I like this combination of lens & film but can see you would have to think about what/how to photograph with it. That said, I love the effect on this series of photos, especially opening header shot, and Winnie’s expression is priceless. The stuffed animals looking out at the rain is wonderful too! Have a great week! 😊❤️📱
