13日、中国河南省鄭州市のメディアにより、鄭州市内の市場で、化学薬品や食品添加物で作られた
ニセ卵が販売されていると伝えられた。
2007年8月13日、カメラマンは、ニセ卵を製造する業者をよく知る人物Aさんとの接触に成功した。
Aさんは、今までベールに包まれていたニセ卵の製造過程を明らかにした。
A さんは説明を交えながら、カメラの前で実際に作ってくれた。Aさんの話によると、このニセ卵は
10年前から中国東北地方で製造を始め、3～4年前から杭 州・香港などでも販売されるように
なったという。数年前からニセ卵が発見され、取締りが行われたが、いまだニセ卵の流通は後を
絶たない。卵は安価で、なぜ コストをかけてまでニセ卵を作るのか、中国の人々も理解できないという。
Aさんは、ニセ卵製造に熟練している業者は1日一人で1000個以上作ることができ、コストは本物の
卵の10分の1で、卸販売価格は本物の2分の 1。業者にとってはコストパフォーマンスがよい。
ニセ卵は普通の卵と一見変わらないが、ゆで卵にして食べるとゴムのような食感で卵の味はしないという。
このニセ卵は、主に褐藻に含まれる多糖類の一種で、ミョウバンやゼラチン、でんぷんなども使われる
食物繊維の一つであるアルギン酸ナトリウムが主 原料である。卵の殻は炭酸カルシウム製としている。
中国の専門家達は、こうした材料を使った食品を長く摂取すると、記憶力が減退したり、認知症などの
症状 を招く可能性もあると注意を呼びかけている。（翻訳・編集/YO）

The original article = http://www.recordchina.co.jp/a10497.html
The fake Eggs has been known to be sold in china many years. And I’ve
been wondering how it was made ? = at last, I found the report how it was made.
It seems this report was made by a Chinese reporter who met a man who
demonstrated to make Fake Eggs.—– According to the article, the Egg was made by
Aga aga jerry from the seaweed, with other ingredients, and the shell was made by lime.
The most amazing things were, they were so well made and the people has been buying
them without noticing the fake —– until they were cooked. (taste was not the Egg)
To find the way to make it and perfected the product —– isn’t this genius ?
It seems, this ingenuity was parallel to the way how Chinese invented the Acupuncture.

Tanbo Art (Rice field Art) in Japan
————————————————— (Photo from Jiji news)
I’ve been seeing those news every year on this season. This is a Tanbo-art,
exclusively in Japanese rice-field. (of course, not everywhere of their field)
—– it was a picture drawn by the different colored rice crop. And in here,
a famous medieval samurai Keiji Maeda (famous in his eccentric behaviour,
called Kabuki-mono = origin of the name Kabuki) was depicted in Yonezawa.
(You may better Google “rice field art japan” or watch this youtube.)
Amazing isn’t it ? !!!
( It is completely different from an on-the-spot, one hour prank = Crop-circle. — To do
this, four or five different colored rice crop has been kept many years and the seeds
were sown to exact position — and wait and see it’s grow ! = Typical Japanese Mind )

Garden Flowers @ Greenwich Park
Lots of flowers from the Greenwich Park. (They were taken by the Homemade
Two Element Lens and the Homemade Gaudy Lens on Canon 5D Mk-III.)
Don’t see this as a botanical picture. (If this one was for botanical use, it must be a
nightmare for the photographer = may be even beyond the Hi Dynamic Range process.)
= So, see this as an abstract painting. —– black petunia kind and the white one.
After green and the blue Chrysanthemum was created, next by next, rather fancy
colored flower has been appearing in the market.
Another day, I saw an almost perfect black Tulip —– and started wondering, if the
flower industry managed to crack the genetic-code of black color or found the
chemical to tint the flower. In either way, it is a very very uncomfortable situation.
They are extra = I found a huge Tulip Tree in the park. = I may need to visit
again to see its ancient flower !
And realized, in fact there are lots of Chestnut tree = better come again
on October to pick the nuts. 🙂
It was a very hot day —– still some people like to enjoy the sun.

Cosmos and Hydrangea @ Greenwich Park
While checking the photos I’ve taken this time at Greenwich Park, I went
back to the post I did last year and found that it was one week earlier, yet still
I did shoot almost identical photo then. = not only the tree, some of the plant was
perennial and stayed the same patch, keep flowering with the same face. And the
approach to the same plant is the same = amazingly persistent as the same person.
(It’s mean not much fresh innovation or improvement.) 🙂
Two element homemade lens was the same though, this year I brought
“New” Gordy Lens. (Looks somewhat the same fuzziness, but Gordy Lens
can give close focus. = further background became out of focus ! )
Hydrangea was one week too early and having dry hot weather they looked
a bit withered. = I may come again and change the photos here.
Those heavily fuzzier photos were taken by the Double Density Pinhole.
But those closer images were taken by the Gaudy Lens.
(One more post of Greenwich Flowers would follow.) 🙂

Riot of Colors @ Greenwich Park
Yesterday I went to the Greenwich Park to take picture of Hydrangea. (Its photos
may come next post, though, for the Hydrangea, it was a week too early.)
So, I start with other flowers photo of which I don’t know the name. = some
of the readers must be more knowledgeable about them = I just put the images.
The lens used here was, Homemade Two-element Lens or
Homemade Gaudy Lens on Canon 5D Mk-III.
Be like a fire. I like it.

St Martins Degree Show
The art school, Central St Martin has been drifting place to place, like a
hermit crab changing their shell larger to even larger. Among the declining
English industrial, economical trend, they must be one of the few rags to rich
success story. The first time when I visited their degree show more than 30
years ago, they were in a non assuming shabby building in the Covent Garden.
(after the St Martin moved out, the place became to an art material shop =
London Graphic Center. I wonder if they are having business connection ?)
Then St Martin moved to a huge grey building in the Charing Cross Road.
Then, next to the Back hill. Now they are north of King’s Cross Station,
over the Regent Canal, place called Granary Square, a building called Granary
Building. As the name suggests, it must be an old day’s Granary, storing the
grain brought by the barges through the canal.
The inside of otherwise featureless big building, its courtyard has been
transformed to a huge shopping mall like space. ( gone too far !)
It was an archetypal sample of the Capitarism. Invest for a package, and use
it to create (or collect £9000 tuition fee) = profit to buy even larger property.
This is called the growth of enterprise !
This was a gimmick like exhibit to show a physical phenomenon.
Like an old fluorescent light, a cathode discharge lamp (used in a video light
or video projector) is flickering in very high frequency, — to see, it need to
have a high speed moving screen. —> Then, we can see the split colors.
Demonstration of phenomenon itself, like a fallen apple by the gravity wouldn’t
make an art. The art has to show its apple fall in a very special beautiful way.
Likewise, the instrument makes sound is just a physical phenomenon.
When its sound was formed as an impressive melodies and composed in
harmony etc, we call it a musical art. In Photography, the object makes its
secondary image by the light through an optics, is a physical phenomenon.
= so that, unless the image showed the intentionally made interference of
the author, it is not an art but mere reflection of the object.
While seeing every years work, what I found was that when the place get
larger, the works get smaller and boring. Have look other’s, such as this;
https://tokyobling.wordpress.com/2015/03/24/godai-art-university-graduation-show-2015/
Once in a year event was in the same time, reunion with old friends or teacher.
And young graduates’ chance to meet the old boys, girls network.
(By the way, in this photo, the Left is the Top)
I think, a sweet on the hand must be a joke of a visitor. 🙂
This said to be an interactive performing space. (when something performed)
This was the Animation Corner. (Some were already in the professional level)
The most funny story happened was,
on the last moment, I was told by this
woman that the photography was not
permitted, of which even the
security didn’t mention so. 😀 😀
Hate crime or jealousy against a Japanese camera ? 🙂
There are chilling out spaces for chattering (or for serious discussion ? )
(but, £5 for a glass of apple juice was definitely a rip-off !)
Out, out, — OUT !
It was a nice evening and a beautiful sky — at least.

Still, Flower Patch — with Gaudy Lens + LED Ring Light
When I walked through a side of that flower patch in the evening, I found
there still quite a few flowers. As it was already the dusk, I decided to go
there again with my camera and the LED Ring Light on Gaudy Lens. 🙂
I’m not convinced that this
combination suites for the subject.
(some shots were done while the
LED Ring Light was not fixed on
the lens-front but held separately,
aiming from above.) — This Ring
Light was the same one I’ve made
for the 100mm F2.8 Macro Lens,
and powered by 3 x 2500mAH-AA
battery (through a 5.6 ohm register) = it can work more than 120 min’ continuously !
= Not too bad !
[]
Zeiss and Zeiss — (Last shot on the Flower Patch)
It’s still a day before Summer Solstice though, the flower patch
I’ve been photographing was coming to the end. So, seemingly this
was the last shot there and for this occasion, I used the recycled
£1 Zeiss Talon lens and the genuine Carl Zeiss Planar 85mm F1.4
T* lens on Canon 5D Mk-III for a comparison.
On the photos above, left was shot by Talon lens and the right was
by the Planar F1.4 lens. Since Talon lens was F2.8, the F1.4 lens
at F1.4 showed much shallower depth of field.
And here, the left photo was taken by Talon lens and the right photo
was by the Planar F1.4 lens, but as the modified Talon lens got quite
long focusing helicoid (it was not a screw helicoid but a rotating cam)
which allows the 1/3 close-up, against this, 85mm F1.4 lens can close
only to 1m (1/12), hence the photo right was a heavily cropped image.
—– still, they showed amazingly similar characteristics, such as
the type of Bokeh.
And the rest of the photos here were from the £1 Recycled Lens = “Zeiss Talon Lens”
In fact, I was rather impressed by this quality performance !
As this lens was designed for a projector lens, (= never used for infinity)
it was pretty good in close-up work ! (Ordinary lens was designed to work
best in the infinity and the macro lens was designed to be best in the x10
magnification.) — Then give a thought, if a lens of 2 or 3 lenses structure
could give such good performance, why we DO need to have an elaborated,
heavy, expensive lens. (Mind you, all those photos were taken at fully open
F2.8 = anyhow no Iris there.) 😀
But, this last photo was by the Planar F1.4 lens at F1.4 (all photos’
aperture were fully open). —– Recycled 50 years old lens costed me
£1 and the 85mm F1.4 lens was £600 even for a secondhand.
= May be we should start to think about what we really need from
a camera lens. Like a so-called HD sound (called Hi-Resi in Japan)
do we need such a high resolution —– Does it make any difference
on our life ? — Wasn’t that mere illusion created by the company and
a ploy to sell yet another new model to us ?
What the photo image meant to us ? — DO we ever watched the world
in 10MP details, let alone to remember in such a detail ? ? ? 😀

Modifying the Zeiss Lens
The story started when I found the same Olympus camera in a junk shop,
of which I’ve used its lens barrel to make the “Gaudy Lens”.
Since I’ve disassembled this camera and already know the structure, in this
time I unscrewed only few crucial screws and took out just the lens barrel.
(so far, this lens barrel is the most useful component I found and I was
going to use it to modify the £1 Zeiss lens .) —– This Carl Zeiss projection
Lens was mere £1, still having Zeiss quality and the distinctive character
though, as it was a projection lens, there was no focusing helicoid or
Iris kind to use it for taking a photo. = It’s shame to be wasted as a junk
despite it got fine optics. (And the reason why I bought it was, of course,
I was going to use it for taking photos. — I’ve tested it on the homemade
bellows but, it is better to have a convenient focusing helicoid.)
[]
To mount the Zeiss lens onto the Olympus barrel, the pipe of the
Zeiss Lens has to be narrowed down. (Photo above middle and the right) =
(It’s a simple work to file down the plastic pipe = simple but laborious. 🙂
—– it is a kind of the work, a Buddhist is quite good at ! —– remember
an old say “Dripping water can curve a rock” )
= Anyhow, on the end, the Zeiss
lens was fitted in the Olympus barrel
and they were screwed onto a Canon
mount adapter. = And now, the Zeiss
Talon Lens is working on a Canon DSLR
while giving the focus from infinity to 1/3 close-up !
—– The photo here right, showed a remarkable similarity of the
softness of the other Zeiss Lens !

Dorkbot-88
There was the Dorkbot’s 88th gathering.
As its nature of their activity, it’s not quite a science or technology — rather
murky to comprehend, let alone to explain.
—– So, please read those and try to make sense by yourself.
