Everything, mostly…. Cuz this stuff is really hot. Way hotter than melted cheese on a pizza. Way hotter than boiling oil in a deep fryer. You need a few thousand degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius, either one, to make this happen (to be precise oxy-acetylene torches produce a flame that is 3480 degrees C or 6296 […]
Took me forever to get a new image album online at photophart.com Hardware problems and the nuts and bolts of daily living sucked up all the free time I was allotted. Anyhow, go to: https://photophart.com/gallery/sturgis-mustang-rally-2022/ Meager album of photos from the Sturgis Mustang Rally 2022. I started out having a lot more photos to display […]
Not a real forest in the usual sense. But, just barely real enough that you can see these. I’ve been playing with adding textures to images off and on for years. My library of textures has grown beyond all reason. There’s a new album of images like this at markhoffmanphotography.com in the gallery called “Current […]
Somewhere I read that information is being amassed and recorded at a rate so prodigious that no single human could read even a single day’s record in his/her entire lifetime. This assertion seems reasonable to me. So what of the historian of the future? Humans, if they still exist, many hundreds of years from now […]
The natural world is still teaming with amazing life forms, though somewhat less so than it was, say, forty years ago. I’m thinking of such amazing adaptations as a simple leaf at the end of a tree branch splayed out in the sunlight, capturing the tiny blazingly fast photons hurled earthward from the violent sun, […]
Angular, was my first impression of this unusual plant. Wondering at the name, I backed up to get a better look at it. The flowering part of this plant does bear a striking resemblance to the head of a large water bird. Thus, its other name: Crane Flower. I digress. The plant was delivered to […]
A glance at the green navigation bar under the masthead reveals I’ve added a new selection called the “Mini Galleries“. The Mini Galleries are precisely that: small galleries of a few images that I happen to like. They are in no particular order and somehow either missed being added to the other larger galleries at […]
While I understand that many people view the petroglyphs of the American Southwest as nothing more than really old graffiti, I find myself captivated by the things. The rock art of the Grand Gallery in Horseshoe Canyon is seductive. The figures there resemble human forms, sort of, but not really. Speculation about what the paintings […]
The first thing you notice is that the people ( if that’s what they are) have no arms. Or legs. Or feet. Some have no eyes. Some have giant goggle eyes. Many have been impeccably carved into the rock before they were painted. The petroglyphs of the Grand Gallery in Horseshoe Canyon are eerily mesmerizing. Archeologists […]
There’s a new gallery taking shape at photophart.com. The post below gives a little explanation of this crazy place in Utah that really has to be seen to be believed. Images will be added as I finish them. To make it easy here’s a link to THE GALLERY. PP
