Uit het rijk der kristallen [From the realm of crystals (J.C. Mol; 1927)] : in website, on their youtube channel (the advantage of the youtube version is that it is divided in chapters by chemical product. There are different versions of Uit het rijk der kristallen: the original silent film was given a soundtrack in the 1930s and is longer.

Uit het rijk der kristallen is one of the scientific films made by Mol. Several versions of this film exist. In the film, the crystallization processes of various chemicals are shown and there is a colour version of the film which was made using Dufay colour.

Flower blossoms photographed by William Dassonville; very different from his usual landscape repertoire.

William E. Dassonville was a California photographer primarily known for his landscapes. He was an associate of Ansel Adams and worked with William Keith, George Stirling, Maynard Dixon, and John Miur. Born in Sacramento, CA, he acted as secretary of the California Camera Club and contributed to Camera Craft. He also invented a velvety surfaced printing paper that he later manufactured commercially (REF: Getty). His chemistry was heralded by Ansel Adams and Imogen Cunningham, and he exhibited alongside Alfred Stieglitz, Clarence White, and Gertrude Kasebier (REF: icp org) | src liveauctioneers

A Declaration of Love

Stella Gommans :: Field of Dreams. From : “A Declation of Love. Flowers in Dutch Light” | src Gommans — **Stella Gommans ::** Field of Dreams. From : “A Declation of Love. Flowers in Dutch Light” | src Gommans

This series celebrates flowers – capturing their different phases and the variety of shapes and colours – each telling their own story. In beautiful detail it depicts how the light emphasises the elegance of the stem, or how it catches the leaf, or how it allows us to catch a glimpse of the brittle petals and the burst of colours when in full bloom. The viewer is invited to look closer and sometimes even take a step back, because in that instant – hidden aspects emerge – like a choreography, a fabulous dance.

‘A Declaration of Love, flowers in Dutch light’ is a series that symbolises life.

Flowers naturally bloom in all their strength, vulnerability and beauty – with elegance and grace – poetically captured in that single moment in time, never to be repeated again.

It is a serenade to life and love! [quoted from Stella Gommans website]
