A couple of days ago there was a beached whale discovered at Whiterock beach, it was pretty crazy to see! By the time I got there the tide was already coming in, but it turned out to be beneficial to see this coast guard hovercraft come! Unfortunately the whale was already dead before anyone found it, this hovercraft was coming to transport it.

So close, no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

and nothing else matters ...

This is the first song I've started practicing with my newest friend..my Guitar =] ( i haven't thought of a name yet =S) . It was given to me by my brother as a gift (how i love him right now, but am sure I'll start hating him again later =P). It's a beautiful thing..and it sounds good too. =]

  

On a different note, Id like to thank Ronggon

for his inspiration and guitar lessons. He is a wonderful friend! =D

Ronggon Am still not paying you for the lessons =P

This shows the difference in size between these two Wood Ducks; the one with more white is smaller, so he is possibly an offspring or a younger sibling. They are mostly together.

this time when that little girl comes to me with her bruises

 

i will not blow gently at her wound, nor distract her. . .

 

i will let her pain grow...

 

Not this time

   

this time when i see pain on faces

 

i will not sing songs that eases pain.

 

i will let the pain seep in, Deep

 

not this time. . .

   

this time i wont apply any ointment

 

nor will ask you to close your eyes

 

and turn your heads while i gingerly apply Medicine

 

i will let everyone see the open naked wounds

 

Not this time

   

This time when i see difficulty, Uneasiness

 

i will not run to solve the problems

 

i will let them become complicated

 

Not this time

   

This time i wont pick up my Tools

 

as a matter of duty.

 

I will Not start a new begining

 

nor will i stand as an example of one dedicated to my job

 

I will not let life easily return to normalcy

 

i will let it descend into muck,

on the twisted paths.

 

i will not let the blood on the walls dry out.

 

nor will i let its colour fade away.

 

this time i wont let it become so helpless

 

that you cant tell difference between blood and red colour

 

not this time

 

this time the wounds need to be watched carefully

 

for a long time

 

some decisions are needed and then some

 

brave moves to be made

 

we have to begin somewhere

 

this time this is what i have resolved

 

not this time

The Wall at Central Square

Modica Way

This week, go and get yourself a few prints of your favourite photographs you have taken. If you already have prints of these photographs, find other pictures that you've taken that perhaps family or friends like and get them printed. Share them out hand-to-hand. Post them with letters. Write on the back of them and use them as postcards. Whatever. Just get a generous round of prints done.

 

When was the last time you got yourself prints of photographs you've taken with your digital camera? Do you get them printed often? If not, why not?

 

After all, what would you do (and what would your kids, your grand kids and their kids do) if eventually the imaging servers were taken off-line and were to die, with all the digital memories stored on them being lost to digital nothingness? We might not have the negatives or slides of our families taken decades ago, but at least we've got the photo albums, or the box of photographs under the bed or in the cupboard.

 

For me, I have felt the effect of film versus digital, especially when it comes to prints.

 

Whenever you went and processed a roll of film, you'd pay for a set of prints as well. Unless you wanted to do your own printing at home (and thus had the equipment to do so), you would rarely ever ask the lab to do a 'dev and no cut'. Every roll of film I shot as a kid with disposable cameras the like all came with a set of prints to keep, deface or share.

 

With the development and constant improvements to digital technology, not that many people have their photos printed anymore. Even though printing is really cheap these days, it's a case of people not being bothered to upload pictures at a time to a website or having to go to the shop with a CD and sit there to wait for everything to load up to the lab's computer system. With sites like Flickr, earlier imaging hosts like Photobucket, early blogging systems (Blogger, Typepad, LiveJournal &c.) and of course e-mail, these have brought about the ability to 'share' without having to get a set of prints done.

 

I find it hard to have stuff printed now, purely because I have shot so much digitally that I feel I'd be overwhelmed trying to pick out pictures I want printed and put into an album. Even though the 'drag and drop' facilities they have for creating photo books is too much for me sometimes. Nevertheless, I still manage to get quite a lot of stuff printed to send to friends, as well as enlargements once in a blue moon for clients. Then yesterday I fired up Photobox, an excellent quality printing website I have used for years, and for the first time in ages I ordered an enlargement for myself to use as a 'test' print for one of the frames I'd bought from IKEA.

 

I hooked it up on the wall above the sofa, which has remained blank for years. Levelled it out. Re-adjusted.

 

I stood back.

 

I know that it is a photograph that has probably been taken time and time again, but I don't give a monkeys. I felt this warm and fuzzy feeling of achievement. It got me thinking though: When I'd first uploaded the photograph to Aperture, obviously the biggest resolution I would get to fit on my screen would be something along the lines of a 4x6. So to see it on my wall above where I sit as a 12x16 wasn't quite the same – it was better. The resolution of my 5D meant that it was really more suited to enlargements (because when I get 4x6 prints printed, they don't quite seem so good).

 

"Looks f*cking awesome," I thought to myself. I even went to wake up Mike to show him and he was suitably impressed.

 

I wanted to take a shot of me sitting on the sofa looking proud as anything beneath my work, but I am still in my bedclothes and my hair is a bit of a bird's nest at the moment. ;)

So close no matter how far

couldn't be much more from the heart

forever trusting who we are

and nothing else matters

never open myself this way

life is ours, we live it our way

all this words I don't just say

and nothing else matters

trust I seek and I find in you

every day for a something new

open mind for a different view

and nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

but I know

So close no matter how far

couldn't be much more from the heart

forever trusting who we are

and nothing else matters

Never cared for what they know

but I know

Never open myself this way

life is ours, we live it our way

all this words I don't just say

and nothing else matters

trust I seek and I find in you

every day for us something new

open mind for a different view

and nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say

never cared for games they play

never cared for what they do

never cared for what they know

and I know

So close no matter how far

couldn't be much more from the heart

forever thrusting who we are

no nothing else matters

no nothing else matters
