writing this piece meant digging deep into old memories…
What kind of place was school for you?

Unearthing a Time Capsule and Preserving a Fading Cathedral
My first creative endeavors (as an adult) were not drawings or paintings. It was the early web that made me pick colors by hand and stitch together HTML code snippets. The web of the early 2000s was a very different place from the modern social media era, built from many small independent sites and blogs, often quirky and eccentric. Other thinkers have articulated this better than I ever could. The Cluetrain Manifesto was my internet philosophy bible. This blog is my way of trying to keep […]https://elkement.art/2026/01/16/unearthing-a-time-capsule-and-preserving-a-fading-cathedral/

Looking back at my predictions for 2025, it's surprising how many of them came true. Equally astonishing is how few of them matter and how we keep on moving on the self-destructive path of least resistance.

"Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" is a song written by #MorrisBroadnax, #ClarencePaul, and #StevieWonder. The song was originally recorded by Stevie Wonder in 1967, but his version was not released as a single and did not appear on an album until 1977's anthology #LookingBack. The best-known version of this song is the 1973 release by #ArethaFranklin, who had a million-selling top 10 hit on #Billboard charts.

Lens-Artists Challenge #368: Looking Back to #106 – Autumn
This week it’s John’s turn to host the Challenge, and it’s another ‘Looking Back’ challenge, where a member of the team picks a subject from a previous Challenge, then makes a new entry on that subject. This time, it’s a topical subject: Autumn. On his blog, Journeys with Johnbo, he writes, ‘With autumn fully entrenched here in North Dakota, I searched the archives for a “Fall Colors” theme. In July 2020, the team hosted a series titled “Seasons.” Patti hosted the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #106: Autumn.’ He continues: Now, it’s your turn to show us autumn colors. Share with us your favorite images of autumn, or if the timing is right, share some new pictures.’
This week, I took my hint for subjects for the Challenge from John’s comment about searching for ‘Fall Colors’. Over here in Portugal, many of the trees are still quite green, though now the autumn colours are trying to push through. I decided that I would take two cameras with me on a ‘walk around the block’, where I tread the fields and what remains of the woods behind our house. The first camera was an Olympus Pen E-PL2 mirrorless cameras fitted with a Holga plastic lens (with a micro four-thirds mount) and a +4 close-up filter.
With this camera, I got some lovely autumn images of the changing leaves on the vines, which will soon fall and leave rows of bare sticks, to be trimmed and prepared for next year’s grape harvest, and also of the remains of the cornfields, with unpicked cobs among dried — and as yet uncut — corn.
With the second camera I had much more fun. This was my beloved Panasonic Lumix GF1 fitted with its dedicated Panasonic 20mm f1.7 pancake lens. This particular lens was sold as faulty, so I picked it up ‘for a song’ compared to the price of a ‘new’ lens. But on the GF1 it works perfectly, and I saved a fortune. For the Challenge, I fitted a 6-stop neutral density filter to the lens and concentrated on making some intentional camera movement images of the bare trees and autumn colours.
Instead of just presenting the ICM images, I brought them back home, loaded the files into my smartphone, and glitched a few with the smartphone app GlitchLab. I should have done this properly, but my new scanning/glitching setup is not finished yet. However, with a little RGB shift here, and some channel mixing there, I hope we have a couple of real examples of ‘Autumn colours’.
Themes for the Lens-Artists Challenge are posted each Saturday at 12:00 noon EST (which is 4pm, GMT) and anyone who wants to take part can post their images during the week. If you want to know more about the Challenge, details can be found here, and entries can be found on the WordPress reader using the tag ‘Lens-Artists’.

Looking Back – 7-8-09 – A look at some of the discussion about a CFATS authorization bill, HR 2868 – This one failed for problems that are like what would be faced today to reauthorize the program – https://tinyurl.com/3utxsdn9 #CFATS #LookingBack
Why do people always lament the good old days? Despite all the bad things in history, the world today has become so much more progressive and humane than it was many years ago and before. This lamentation can only stem from a lack of education in which the past is presented to us.
The only thing we are really destroying continuously is the global climate. And then we have to admit to ourselves: “Everything used to be better.”
