So, how long will it take?
So, how long will it take?
How many years,
how many hours
how many seconds,
to get an insight,
to understand,
something as simple
as time?
I can hear the passing of it tonight,
In my room. In my garden.
The pendulum swinging back and forth.
Making patterns in my mind.
I can feel the sand running through my fingers
Making piles of experience at my feet.
Adding an extra second,
an extra hour
an extra year
to my life.
But understand it
I cannot.
Not yet.

who needs a looooooong lens?
If I had one of those monster guismo quadro canonlike monsterlenses I probably could convince you that this is a seaeagle lurking in that tree...
Now I don't, so I won't even try...
It's merely a landscape, with an undefined blump up in the branches...If you think it is a owl or a sparrow, it is totally OK with me...

to show something "out there"
"Virtuosi of the noble image like Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand, composing mighty, unforgettable photographs decade after decade, still want, first of all, to show something "out there," just like the Polaroid owner for whom photographs are a handy, fast form of note-taking, or the shutterbug with a Brownie who takes snapshots as souvenirs of daily life."
/Susan Sontag "On photography"
Read excerpt here, and you should read the book. It´s hard to find anything better written about photography.

no new year's day to celebrate. no chocolate covered candy hearts to give away. no first of spring. no song to sing. in fact here's just another
ordinary day. no april rain. no flowers bloom. no wedding saturday within
the month of june. but what it is, is something true. made up of these
three words that i must say to you.
i just called to say i love you. i just called to say how much i care.
i just called to say i love you. i just called to say how much i care.
i just called to say i love you. and i mean it from the bottom of my heart.
stevie wonder i just call to say i love you
stevie wonder i just call to say i love you

If I was more like you
More soft
More pale
We could take drugs together
Hand in hand
Like father and son
I could live with you

Invited guest: Katia Chausheva
La NotteI was totally mesmerized when I first saw the work of Katia Chausheva.
She´s got a very personal style
and her images are filled with silent pain,
anxiety and longing.
Katia says that she has difficulties
expressing herself in words.That´s fine by me.
Her way of seeing speeks volumes...

Out to the heavens above me
The Rose
I was waiting, the grass was black
IKEA für alle
The other day, I spent some time fiddling around with technical issues (you know EI and proper developer) that has bothered me for some time. So I decided to expose a few frames indoors to sort it all out. I picked a simple object that would work for the idea. Once developed and printed, I found the technical part satisfying. The object itself, peaceful as it is and so harmless reminds me about the art work you can buy framed at Gallerix and IKEA and other places. So here you are, print it out and frame it. It's all free.
how the F blog works
There are many theories, such as "the seven keys", "the Tarkini engine" and
so on. I found this sketch in a case. Probably top secret. /NG
