August Color Chase Challenge: Faded Turquoise

Vintage Stitch Mistress toy sewing machine — Manufactured in the late 1940s to early 1950s by Genero Machine Works in Long Beach, California.  This really worked!  It used manual power via a rotating handwheel with a wooden handle.  Unfortunately, my wooden handle is missing.  It used a single thread to create a chain stitch, which would easily unravel if the thread was pulled. It was known for unique mid-century colors.  This one was originally teal but has faded over the years so it worked for the faded turquoise challenge this month.

Canon 5D Mark III, Lensbaby Velvet 56 @ f/4, 1/125s, ISO 1000, window light.

August Color Chase Challenge: Faded Turquoise

Hemingray 42 Glass Insulator - a classic glass insulator produced by the Hemingray Glass Company starting in 1921 through the 1950s/60s.  It was widely used across North America on telegraph and telephone lines.  I *think* we found this on the home site of my husband’s grandmother across from where we live now.  The makers on Etsy have done some really cool things with these old insulators!  Instead of tucking this one back away in a box I plan to order some lamp parts from one of them.

Rosie

I was photographing some still life images yesterday... on this white chair.  I walked out of the room to get something and came back to Rosie all comfy there. 😼

Macro Project 52: Tools & Objects

This is a close-up of a bouquet wrap I made for my oldest granddaughter’s wedding.  The material, lace, and buttons are from my 54-year old wedding dress. My initials and wedding date (5.28.1972) are embroidered on the back.

It was a pleasure to spend some time with Julie Beard, the District 2 City Councilwoman in Montgomery AL, while photographing her for the Cover of the August BOOM! Magazine.  I learned so much about the district she serves and witnessed first hand how responsive she is to people she meets.  Folks in District 2 should be very proud of their representative!

Print copies are available throughout the River Region.  The online version can be found here: https://issuu.com/riverregionpublications/docs/boom_august_2026

I took my Helios 44-2 (vintage lens made in the USSR) out for a photo walk this morning.  This was one of those moments of unexpected joy when a beautiful butterfly landed on a zinnia I was photographing. 

Canon 5D Mark III, Helios 44-2 + Kenko 12mm, 1/125s, ISO 500, it is very hard for me to read the f-stops on that lens but I think I had it wide open or close to it.  Very minor editing in LR and Photoshop.  All that beautiful bokeh is from the lens.

Posted for our Monday Glorify God #glorifygodloop … Our goal is to glorify God through the creativity He has given us. To see today’s posts go to #glorifygodloop8_10_26

“I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord.”
