Another new sequence on Beechbrook

[LumenLux]

I see a few of you have already downloaded a little "demo" from Beechbrook before I realized Bill had it posted for me. As this is not a "normal" show from me, a couple of points to mention:

The show "Water" does not appear on Beechbrook as being from LumenLux, as I mistakenly uploaded it from a lesser used address of mine. And here are the Author's Notes that are also posted on Beechbrook:

Disclaimer: The sequence you are considering downloading has only modest redeeming value. The possible, but not guaranteed benefits, include the fact that you may find some element of fun in it or it might precipitate some better implemented ideas of your own.

For further interest, if any, run both "Water1" and "Water2".

I have never given anyone a disparaging remark prior to this post in all my years in the business of photography and video, however the author of 'water' (assuming the show ran exactly as it was supposed to when I played it) has created a tremendously borish show; both a waste of bandwidth and time. 3 photos, eyes blinking on and off... repeated over and over. Each show and subshow, the same thing. Same music. God, that's just totally bad... Is it an April Fools joke? It's a few days late for that!

I'm being as civil as I can about this. Never been so critical of anything but I apologize to the author if I'm wrong here. Your disclaimer is such an understatement. Unless of course, you are six years old. If so, kudoos for a great job.

(Boy, I feel terrible about this post. I couldn't help myself)

Hi lt,

Thanks for your input. Your reaction brings me a smile and a feeling of dismay. For I have clearly "missed the mark." I never intended the "demo" to be an artistic display or very entertaining show. But in "experimenting", I had learned more about PTE and felt the sequence could be used for some useful discussion.

The reason I smile as I read your post is because you wrote it so well. If you are in a forgiving mood sometime, (when you have forgotten the stress I caused you,) let us go take some photos and have some fun.

I'm glad you could smile at that post I made... I don't know why, but I was smiling while I wrote it. When I watched it, the first 8 seconds was kinda... well... neat, but I thought it was a warm up. I guess I expected too much.

I'm a big Monty Python fan. Equally love the Marx Brothers, 3 Stooges and love everything Salvadore Dali made. I really love off-the-wall stuff, but your show? Oh, my! Well, you did provide a warning. I should have just shut up and let it ride. Well, it did bring something out of me I didn't know was there.

Yes, maybe we should get together and make some pictures someday. You can laugh at mine. You might notice... I haven't posted anything ever. Matter of fact, I spend most of my time lurking. I don't post much. Got a very active business to run and when you are a mom & pop operation, you gotta do it all. Matter of fact, got a slide show to finish and only 15 minutes to get it done. Ado.
