The poppy disintegrating in abstract composition
Imagine that a Poppy takes shape and a beautiful Woman.
Imagine that in performance, in dance, in choreography it is in itself the revelation of the secret of speech, music, perfume, the essence of its brief but glorious existence and in that instant your senses perceive the Universe of before and perhaps, the after in the continuum of life.
Don't be afraid, nothing to fear, just want to feel.
Imagination, perception is what others cannot even see.
Be happy and have a good morning full of sunshine.

There was some antique furniture in the background - contrasted to oblivion :)
"Bend the rules and play tricks with the mind; make documents of moments that have never existed." - Peter Funch
Old fishing boats left on Dungeness nature reserve beach to decay picturesquely. As the beach naturally gains new shingle, the fishermen abandon their old boats, huts and machinery and move nearer the water.
The preparation: this candles will illuminate the staircase to the river
Loi Krathong takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar. In the Western calendar this usually falls in November.
According to the Royal Institute Dictionary 1999, loi (ลอย) means "to float", while krathong(กระทง) has various meanings, one of which is "a basket to be floated on water in the Loi Krathong festival". Several translations of krathong are found, such as "floating crown", "floating boat", "floating decoration". The traditional krathong are made from a slice of the trunk of a banana tree or a spider lily plant. Modern krathongs are more often made of bread or styrofoam. A bread krathong will disintegrate after a few days and can be eaten by fish. Banana stalk krathong are also biodegradable, but styrofoam krathongs are sometimes banned, as they pollute the rivers and may take years to decompose. A krathong is decorated with elaborately-folded banana leaves, incense sticks, and a candle. A small coin is sometimes included as an offering to the river spirits.
On the night of the full moon, Thais launch their krathong on a river, canal or a pond, making a wish as they do so. The festival may originate from an ancient ritual paying respect to the water spirits.
Government offices, corporations and other organizations launch large decorated krathongs. There are competitions for the best such krathong. A beauty contest is a regular feature and fireworks have become common in recent years.
Loi Krathong is often claimed to have begun in the Sukhothai by a court lady named Nopphamat. However, it is now known that the Nopphamat tale comes from a poem written in the early Bangkok period. According to H.M. King Rama IV, writing in 1863, it was a Brahmanical festival that was adapted by Thai Buddhists in Thailand to honor Buddha, Prince Siddhartha Gautama. The candle venerates the Buddha with light, while the krathongs floating symbolizes letting go of all one's hatred, anger, and defilements. People sometime cut their fingernails or hair and place the clippings on the krathong as a symbol of letting go of past transgressions and negative thoughts. Many ordinary Thai use the krathong to thank the Goddess of Water, Phra Mae Khongkha (Thai: พระแม่คงคา).
The beauty contests that accompany the festival are known as "Nopphamat Queen Contests". According to legend, Nang Nopphamat (Thai: นางนพมาศ; alternatively spelled as "Noppamas") was a consort of the 13th century Sukhothai king Sri Indraditya (who is also known as Phra Ruang) and she had been the first to float a decorated raft. However, this is a new story which was invented during the first part of the 19th century. There is no evidence that a Nang Nopphamat ever existed. Instead, it is a matter of fact that a woman of this name was the leading character of a novel released at the end of the reign of King Rama III, around 1850 CE. Her character was written as guidance for all women who wished to become civil servants.
Kelantan in Malaysia celebrates Loi Krathong similarly, especially in the Tumpat area. The ministry in charge of tourism in Malaysia recognises it as an attraction for tourists. Many people visit the celebration each year.
Yi Peng
Thousands of Khom Loi in Mae Cho, Chiang Mai
Loi Krathong coincides with the Lanna (northern Thai) festival known as Yi Peng (Thai: ยี่เป็ง). Yi means "two" and peng means a "full moon day". Yi Peng refers to the full moon day in the second month according to the Lanna lunar calendar (the twelfth month according to the Thai lunar calendar).
Swarms of Lanna-style sky lanterns (khom loi (Thai: โคมลอย), literally: "floating lanterns") are launched into the air where they resemble large shoals of giant fluorescent jellyfish gracefully floating through the sky. The festival is meant as a time for tham bun (Thai: ทำบุญ), to make merit. Khom loi are made from a thin fabric, such as rice paper, stretched over a bamboo or wire frame, to which a candle or fuel cell is attached. When the fuel cell is lit, the resulting hot air is trapped inside the lantern and creates enough lift for the khom loi to float up into the sky.
During the festival, people also decorate their houses, gardens, and temples with khom fai (Thai: โคมไฟ), intricately shaped paper lanterns which take on different forms. Khom thue (Thai: โคมถือ) are lanterns which are carried around hanging from a stick, khom khwaen (Thai: โคมแขวน) are the hanging lanterns, and khom pariwat (Thai: โคมปริวรรต), which are placed at temples and which revolve due to the heat of the candle inside. The most elaborate Yi Peng celebrations can be seen in Chiang Mai, the ancient capital of the former Lanna kingdom, where now both Loi Krathong and Yi Peng are celebrated at the same time resulting in lights floating on the waters, lights hanging from trees/buildings or standing on walls, and lights floating in the sky. The tradition of Yi Peng was also adopted by certain parts of Laos during the 16th century.
New Zealand, Summer 2008
i have a headache. i am slowly disintegrating in this stuffy summer heat....
36/365
I feel like my life is a snow globe that someone recently decided to shake. Everything's in pieces and flying around. In a good way as well as in a bad way.
Also, I always seem to listen to The Cure while I edit. Especially the album Disintegration. I don't know why, but it just fits.
The stump of a tree has fallen into this shallow baylands channel that connects with San Francisco Bay. It will float there until it is saturated and eventually sinks to the bottom. The narrow channel is forever changing course.....the trunk will slowly disintegrate and, once again, provide fertile ground for future growth.

The basket of flowers on the hutch is really disintegrating. I may take all the fruit out of it.
Finally acquired all of the pieces to the Petite Princess (Princess Patti) kitchen. It was made by Ideal in 1965 and sold mostly at Sears.
The pieces aren't in bad condition but they need some tlc.
Canisters: random ebay find
bowl on counter: Irwin (with Petite Princess rack of lamb, not joking)
mugs and stuff on table: re-ment
plates on table: TOMY
"vintage" pyrex: re-ment
All of the stuff in the fridge and on the hutch is original to the Petite Princess line and often glued in place.
And yes, my 2-year old once again helped style the scene. It was her idea to have the canister open on the counter. She's knows her stuff, man.
The famous make of padlock seems to glitter against the old rusted latch and disintegrating paint and wood of the door.
Up in the sky, clouds are disintegrating.
Like in the deflagration of an explosion.
The sun is disappearing.
And the city is going in the darkness.
Dans le ciel les nuages se désintègrent.
Comme sous la déflagration d'une explosion.
Le soleil lentement disparaît.
Et la ville plonge dans l'obscurité.

I'll try to take better pictures at some point, I've only got my phone camera to work with.
On Oct. 9, 2013, Hubble observed comet ISON once again, when it was inside the orbit of Mars, about 177 million miles from Earth. This image shows that the comet was still intact despite some predictions that the fragile icy nucleus might disintegrate closer to the sun. The comet will pass closest to the sun on Nov. 28, 2013.
If the nucleus had broke apart then Hubble would have likely seen evidence of multiple fragments. Moreover, the coma, or head, surrounding the comet's nucleus is symmetric and smooth. This would probably not be the case if clusters of smaller fragments were flying along.
This color composite image was assembled using two filters. The comet's coma appears cyan, a greenish-blue color due to gas, while the tail is reddish due to dust streaming off the nucleus. The tail forms as dust particles are pushed away from the nucleus by the pressure of sunlight.

More details on Comet ISON:
Comet ISON began its trip from the Oort cloud region of our solar system and is now travelling toward the sun. The comet will reach its closest approach to the sun on Thanksgiving Day -- 28 Nov 2013 -- skimming just 730,000 miles above the sun's surface. If it comes around the sun without breaking up, the comet will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere with the naked eye, and from what we see now, ISON is predicted to be a particularly bright and beautiful comet.
Catalogued as C/2012 S1, Comet ISON was first spotted 585 million miles away in September 2012. This is ISON's very first trip around the sun, which means it is still made of pristine matter from the earliest days of the solar system’s formation, its top layers never having been lost by a trip near the sun. Comet ISON is, like all comets, a dirty snowball made up of dust and frozen gases like water, ammonia, methane and carbon dioxide -- some of the fundamental building blocks that scientists believe led to the formation of the planets 4.5 billion years ago.
NASA has been using a vast fleet of spacecraft, instruments, and space- and Earth-based telescope, in order to learn more about this time capsule from when the solar system first formed.
The journey along the way for such a sun-grazing comet can be dangerous. A giant ejection of solar material from the sun could rip its tail off. Before it reaches Mars -- at some 230 million miles away from the sun -- the radiation of the sun begins to boil its water, the first step toward breaking apart. And, if it survives all this, the intense radiation and pressure as it flies near the surface of the sun could destroy it altogether.
This collection of images show ISON throughout that journey, as scientists watched to see whether the comet would break up or remain intact.
The comet reaches its closest approach to the sun on Thanksgiving Day -- Nov. 28, 2013 -- skimming just 730,000 miles above the sun’s surface.

ISON stands for International Scientific Optical Network, a group of observatories in ten countries who have organized to detect, monitor, and track objects in space. ISON is managed by the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

A solitary wandering mind existing in its own little space. Portrait in B&W, shot with a Canon A-1, using Tri-X film, developed and printed in a makeshift Darkroom I built at home.
This was shot in a theater where the Drama Guild would spend so much time rehearsing plays...totally candid, it was break time, the emergency door was open and this fellow was just there, doing just that,... didn't make sense did I?

The electric disintegrator was initially successful, but eventually became a vanished business.... Then its fortunes revived with the advent of Star Trek and the teleporter ... it also found some fame with Dr Who's Dalek vapourising guns.

Those were the days when everyone had a home laboratory complete with bunsen burners, dangerous chemicals and high voltage electric supply. In another world if television and WiFi had never arrived we would all still be massively engaged in spare time hobbies.
