Il 9 ottobre 1963 dal monte Toc, dietro la diga del Vajont, si staccano tutti insieme 260 milioni di metri cubi di roccia.
Vuol dire quasi sei volte più della Valtellina.
Vuol dire seicento volte più grande della frana della Val di Stava.
Duecentosessanta milioni di metri cubi di roccia cascano nel lago dietro alla diga e sollevano un’onda di cinquanta milioni di metri cubi. Di questi cinquanta milioni, solo la metà scavalca di là della diga, solo venticinque milioni di metri cubi d’acqua... Ma è più che sufficiente a spazzare via dalla faccia della terra cinque paesi: Longarone, Pirago, Rivalta, Villanova, Faè.
Duemila i morti.
La storia della diga del Vajont iniziata sette anni prima, si conclude in quattro minuti di apocalisse, con l’olocausto di duemila vittime. …

He paused just long enough before trotting across a field to head for the woods.

Earlier that morning, before the attacks, on the other side of the world, an approximately 9 day old baby girl was found where she had been abandoned outside of the gates of an orphanage in China; she joined our family the following summer.
Amélie was 9 yesterday!
She was my 3rd Blythe, & the Blythe I took with me to my first Blythe meet (in Nottingham on October the 4th 2002). She's special.
Ahi estaba esperandome. La charca donde sacian la sed el rebaño. El Sol (porque es el Sol) iluminando por detras. El reflejo del arbol... Tonos frios, para simular nocturnidad.

the instructor we worked with during training said Augie had the best play bow she'd ever seen. even so, she's still got "the eye". especially when I have Ducky as my P.A.
this shot is more in the direction I wanted to go last time, with more of a dark background and some selective light; and I took a bit more time with this week, having just gotten a new toy critical piece of photographic equipment: a 10 meter ETTL extension cord, for those times when I just want to have more control over the flash at a distance.
Augie was pretty good about it, too, as my dark fleece blanket backdrop is fairly narrow, and so she's posed on one of our chairs. we used Ducky to try some action/catch shots, but I couldn't move back far enough with my 35mm lens, and then she kept going into her bow between tosses, so I focused more on that.
technicals:
I put a snoot on the (Canon 430EX) flash and mounted it overhead angled towards Augie's head, and used the ETTL flash metering, which worked well to keep the background dark and not blow a huge flood of light over everything. I like the lines I got out of this lighting and pose, and the catchlights from the windows that showed up despite the flash and the high shutter speed (1/640).
