The Library, Iowa State University, 1969. Existing light.
Christian Petersen Sculpture, Boy and Girl. (The idea for these
figures first came to Christian Petersen around 1942 while he was
looking at the bare pedestals which had been gathering dust in the
library's lower lobby since 1925. Unsightly electric wires protruded
from the bases which the architects had designed for light fixtures that
were never installed. Petersen outlined his idea for stone figures to
then president Charles E. Friley who gave him permission to proceed with
the work in 1943. The result the next year was a pair of students, male
and female, ostensibly studying with books in their laps, but fully
aware of each other as they exchange glances across the landing of the
stairwell. Petersen's humor may be seen in the fidgeting foot of the
male student.) (Info from Iowa State Univ. Web site.) |

Fly's Eye, 1967. Setup used is shown below. Exakta camera, Tessar
lens, F8. This was the sharpest F-stop for this lens. Stopping down to
increase the depth of field resulted in unacceptable loss of sharpness. |

extension. Used for Fly's Eye photograph above. |

Ants, 1967. |
