Nothing can be as tempting as flavored ice beverages for you and your family on a hot summer day. If you are a fan of cold beverages, you should know how useful slush machines are and what a wonderful addition one of these machines can be to your home. Slush maker machines can be used to make a number of different cold refreshing beverages including slushies, margaritas, fruit juices and much more.

The problem that many slushie lovers face is that it can only be found at festivals and fairs. Having a slush-maker machine at home can allow them make their own slushies. These machines no longer require an entire separate room for them to be stored or large sums of money to be purchased. The modern machines are easy on the pocket and small enough to fit on the top of the kitchen counter. They are very easy to use and don't require any unusual ingredients or accessories. Now everyone can make yummy slushies from the comfort of his or her own home.

The biggest advantage of owning a slushie maker is that it allows you to make whatever flavors you desire. Regardless of whether you want a frozen cocktail for yourself or fruity slushies for your children, the machine will help you make it. There are many different things you can do with this machine and it depends on you how you want to use the ice. You also experiment with different combinations of flavors to make your own wonderfully refreshing, unique slushie. Just try freezing up the fruit juices or mixers and then use those in the slush maker.

Slush-maker machines can also come in really handy when your family members or friends are visiting you. Both kids and adults love the frozen beverages made in a slushie machine. Blending up some ice and making a cool beverage at home is the best way to entertain your guest in summer. Once they have tried these flavored icy beverages, they are very likely to become addicted to them.

Last but not least, slush machines can help you save loads of money. Making your drinks at home will cost you much less than buying them from outside. The ingredients use in the machine can be purchased for quite cheap and you would be able to cover the cost of the machine in a matter of days.

GOING BACK TO THE DARKROOM TO FIND ORDER IN CHAOS: IMPERMANENCE FINDS REFLECTION IN SIDDHARTHA TAWADEY’S PHOTO-EXHIBITION

New Delhi: In an era where art photography has become synonymous with digital prints and dependent on photoshop manipulation, here is a photographer who makes the fast-vanishing dark room his studio and a Buddhist concept his muse! Investment banker-turned photographer Siddhartha Tawadey exhibits yet another remarkable collection of more than twenty photographs in his upcoming solo exhibition titled ‘TRANSIENCE - A photographic salutation to Impermanency’ at Travancore Art Gallery, Travancore Palace, Kasturba Gandhi Marg, New Delhi from November 12, 2009 to November 22, 2009.

Born in Calcutta, Siddhartha Tawadey’s first creative influences came from his mother who taught him “how to look and wonder at the natural world” around him, inheriting her love of collecting and finding beauty in the smallest pebble or leaf. Though his ambition was always to be a fine art photographer, family pressures led him to pursue an MBA from Middlesex School of Business (London) and enter the corporate sector as a banker with Global Funds Solution, London. As providence would have it, a failed business persuaded him to pursue photography with a renewed passion. He studied Art Architecture and Photography from St Martin’s School of Design (London), Painting and Photography from City University (London) and Photo Fusion - Advanced and alternative Darkroom printing (London) and returned to fine art photography to express ideas and concerns from an individual standpoint with a particular theme.

Siddhartha Tawadey says: “I create from various references that I find in art; whether it be the surrealist qualities of the paintings of Rene Magritte or Salvador Dali, to the abstract expressionism of Rothko and Mondrian to the sheer beauty of a Monet and Seurat or the striking and involved imagery of Van Gogh.”

“My ideas, references and inspiration have been largely influenced by my education and work spanning continents and cities. Thus, my photographs reflect a more prosaic approach to photographic seeing - a fascination with the everyday things, with landscape, both natural and urban, repetition, shadows of memory, the layering of history, order and chaos is all present in my work.”

”There may be other, more descriptive or poetic words that may be used to define the “pattern” that connects the images, but the simplest meta-pattern is this: I take snapshots of moments in time and space in which a peace washes over me, and during which I sense a deep interconnectedness between my soul, the moment and the everyday world around me.”

“I work abstractly and non-linearly – however, my designs do have trends over time, usually with the goal of delaying recognition so a photograph may have a better dialogue with its viewer, free of labels. Recent techniques have included seeing without gravity, designing in soft focus, and using shapes to continue the photograph beyond the physical frame.”

The theme of his current show is based on Mujo, a medieval concept of Buddhism, literally meaning ‘no’ (mu) ‘permanence’ (jo) and also known as Anittya in Sanskrit, Transience encompasses the impermanent and momentary aspects of our existence and that of the things around us, including birth, growth, change, decay, death, organic forms, constructs of society and time. Transience exists in organic forms, constructs of society and time itself. The past consumes the present while we move constantly into the uncertainty of the future.

As a photographer, Tawadey, however, has moved from the figurative genre that he showed in his debut show titled ‘Silent voices of an Unseen India’ in September 2008, where he displayed an intimate philosophical exploration of time, memory and history. His second show titled ‘Un Vague de Reves’ in March 2009 set a trend of sorts with Triptychs in photography where he juxtaposed three images in one picture to portray the inner realities of the subconscious.

In the current show, through the universal language of abstraction and the use of metaphor, he reflects on his personal and universal concerns about the transience of life and nature. By creating work  without the constraints of representation, the work can exist in its own  right, as an object if you like, which may draw from the viewer a sensation, a  memory, a collective recognition of the beauty of form, a perception of space  or the purity of a line.

According to him: “Photography can be described not as capturing reality, but rather as an abstraction of time and place. What may have been real now only exists on paper in the swirl of chemicals and fixatives that hold it in place."

He continues: "What then of the photographic image that is in itself abstract? Our focus shifts from the recognizable, indexical form, to composition, tone, line and the intent? But what if the image gives us both? What if the image presents a real, recognizable form in an abstract presentation? The results are much more complex than in abstract painting because the eye is conditioned to read photographs by their surface, to take it for what it is, and therefore not question more than what the eye can see. The images challenge the viewer to these specific assumptions that we draw from the photography mediums so called reality."

For instance in one of his work, the photograph on first glance shows an eyelid but on a closer look you can see a foetus captured in those eyeballs. In another photograph, one really has to look deep and long to judge whether the eyes are of a child or a woman; the face being distorted so as to make the features unrecognizable. In yet another image, one can see two trees and an outline of a hut still intact while a strong wind is swirling pass by. The photographer tries to capture stability which is very essential in one’s relationships. For one of his photograph, the photographer had specifically gone to Dindigul, Chennai “just to capture the movement of windmills”. Other works include Elephant Boy, Mystic, Soul and Monet.

However, what remains his signature style is the desolation in each of his photographs. The lonely feeling in the vast spaces and the paradox referred to in this exhibition is that in order to be, we must change; when we cease to change we cease to exist. Everything is in movement. It is this movement that the photographer has attempted to capture through his images.

In an era dominated by digital prints, Siddhartha Tawadey still favours the traditional concept of darkroom and also incorporates photograms, which were made before the advent of photography. For him, the darkroom is where he is the happiest, as he is in control of everything – from the images taken from his 5 D Mark 2 Cannon or the F 90 Nikon that are processed by hand and then contact printed to the images which are enlarged using an old Fuji enlarger and rendered on resin coated Hahnemuhle archival paper. From scanning them on the latest technology scanners and then printing them from Epson Stylus 9880 professional wide format printer on the archival paper using the latest Epson Ultra Chrome K3 archival pigmented inks to the way he wants to play with lights of the lens, to the washing of the prints - everything gives him immense joy just to see how he can transform the photographs on to print.

Quiz him that one can do the same in Photoshop, pat comes the reply that “there is restriction in using the mouse on computer.” When asked about the difficulties he faces in his photographic journey, he quips “it’s been a Herculean task to find a darkroom or good quality printing paper in India. As each fine art print is made manually with a degree of dodging and burning, no two photographs ever come out exactly the same. I like to print on fiber-based papers, which are the traditional papers, but the handling, washing and processing is very time consuming. Also, apart from the expensive fees for studying photography, there aren’t any short term courses available here.”

Tawadey’s big break came with the photo – essay at the Tate Modern (UK) but the latest achievement that has him excited is a soon-to-be-launched book on lateral ties between India and Colombia titled ‘Una apasionada familia humana’ for which he has provided images. What also inspires him is his collaboration with the famous photographer Diego Ferago with whom he “will be putting up a video installation at Barcelona Airport (Spain) next year”, he adds

Nikon FM2 rust removal ?

Hi all,

I have a Nikon FM2 which has some spotty rust around the chrome base near the film winder.

Is ther any way to remove those rust on the chorme surface, and what kind of paint I should use once the rust is removed ?

thanks

Getting paint to adhere to this type of surface (which can be either chrome or anodized) can be tricky.

A simple shot of an epoxy based enamel (which you can find at your local hardware store) may provide adequate coverage.

You may want to rough the surface and clean the rust off around the area with a very fine steel wool ("000" which is fine). Don't get too aggressive with the abrasive and only work the area that needs it.

An alternative to the paint is a thin layer of epoxy resin over the affected area (a skim coat if you will) to protect the metal from the elements.

Whichever you decide please use caution and apply these things sparingly. You don't need overspray or epoxy drips getting into the film door or in the rewind mechanism as you will surely create a problem much worse than some localized rust.

My best advice is to take your time and if you're comfortable doing it, remove the baseplate from the camera entirely.

The other option is to look on eBay for a used FM2 body that is in non-working condition to canibalize the parts from it. Of all I've listed, this is the most recommended.

Either way, good luck and happy shooting.
