Nov.4, 2018: The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly known as Karnak, comprises a vast mix of temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings near Luxor, in Egypt.
A cult temple dedicated to Amun, Mut and Khonsu. The largest religious building complex ever constructed. The temple of Karnak was known as Ipet-isu—or “most select of places”—by the ancient Egyptians. It is a city of temples built over 2,000 years and dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. This derelict place is still capable of overshadowing many wonders of the modern world and in its day must have been awe-inspiring.
For the largely uneducated ancient Egyptian population, this could only have been the place of the gods. It is the largest religious building ever made, covering about 200 acres (1.5 km by 0.8 km), and was a place of pilgrimage for nearly 2,000 years. The area of the sacred enclosure of Amun alone is sixty-one acres and could hold ten average European cathedrals. The great temple at the heart of Karnak is so big that St Peter’s, Milan, and Notre Dame Cathedrals would fit within its walls.
The Hypostyle hall, at 54,000 square feet (16,459 meters) and featuring 134 columns, is still the largest room of any religious building in the world. In addition to the main sanctuary there are several smaller temples and a vast sacred lake – 423 feet by 252 feet (129 by 77 meters). The sacred barges of the Theban Triad once floated on the lake during the annual Opet festival. The lake was surrounded by storerooms and living quarters for the priests, along with an aviary for aquatic birds.

The Egyptians believed that towards the end of annual agricultural cycle the gods and the earth became exhausted and required a fresh input of energy from the chaotic energy of the cosmos.
To accomplish this magical regeneration the Opet festival was held yearly at Karnak and Luxor. It lasted for twenty-seven days and was also a celebration of the link between pharaoh and the god Amun. The procession began at Karnak and ended at Luxor Temple, one and a half miles (2.4 kilometres) to the south.
The statue of the god Amun was bathed with holy water, dressed in fine linen, and adorned in gold and silver jewellery. The priests then placed the god in a shrine and onto the ceremonial barque supported by poles for carrying. Pharaoh emerged from the temple, his priests carrying the barque on their shoulders, and together they moved into the crowded streets. A troop of Nubian soldiers serving as guards beat their drums, and musicians accompanied the priests in song as incense filled the air.
At Luxor, Pharaoh and his priests entered the temple and ceremonies were performed to regenerate Amun, recreate the cosmos and transfer Amun’s power to Pharaoh. When he finally emerged from the temple sanctuary, the vast crowds cheered him and celebrated the guaranteed fertility of the earth and the expectation of abundant harvests.
During the festival the people were given over 11000 loaves of bread and more than 385 jars of beer, and some were allowed into the temple to ask questions of the god. The priests spoke the answers through a concealed window high up in the wall, or from inside hollow statues.

an ad in the subway for the School of Visual Arts with one of my favorite Rilke quotes, from Letters to a Young Poet
"Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." — R.M. Rilke

The question for my final series is “how can high contrast bring out different structures in the human body”. To take this photo, I had my friend stretch her neck to create interesting lines and shapes on her body. I then shined a light at an angle, to create more interesting shadows. The principle of design is contrast. One thing I did well was having good lighting and bumping up the contrast in vsco. One thing I could have done better was had a clearer principle of design.
Materials: Body, digital camera, lamp, and vsco.

Being in the class provides exercise, and is safer than playing a contact sport. Dancers do deal with aches and pains. Sometimes a wrong step can lead to serious injury. But in spite of that, dancing is still safer than a sport like football or wrestling.

A Question - but read on.
The idea behind this shot, and its companion, was simple. The stars visible on the Anatolian steppe are absolutely stunning, with the Milky Way clearly visible. I have never been anywhere in the world where the stars are so magnificent. So, I wanted to get a picture of the stars and Milky Way over the village where my wife was born.
Braving the snakes and scorpions, and in near total darkness, I clambered up onto a hill opposite the village to take this shot. Clearly it, and its companion, have a significant technical problem, the high level of noise – which is visible as coloured banding in the shadows (but not, perhaps in the Flickr reproduction).
There are some technical limitations to note. An exposure longer than 15-20 seconds reproduces the stars as ‘streaks’ – so the maximum exposure is limited by the ISO setting (and more noise) and the maximum aperture of the lens. The lens is f4 and 17mm.
The Question
I can probably improve the composition, although it was impossible to see anything through the lens other than the lights of the village (the rest was a guess) – and I can probably improve the noise by using a faster lens and perhaps a better specified camera – but my question is whether the subject is really worth the effort (and expense) ? My wife says, no; but what do you think ?
