Random
I came here at random,
Not guided by faith,
As pale as a phantom,
As wrought as a wraith.
I came here at random;
I'd not call it choice.
I might be an echo -
A wandering voice.
I came here at random
Across the expanse -
Is it bondage or freedom
Surrendered to chance?
I came here at random;
I took no advice;
I gave all my wisdom
To the roll of the dice.
I came here at random,
By the truth, by the dare.
The oracle took me,
And now I'm not there.
Poem by Giles Watson, 2013. Ten-minute poetry challenge, with Poets and Performers in Albany, Western Australia, 23/11/2013. The pictures show the wreck of the Elvie on Vancouver Beach, Frenchman Bay.
We took a trip to the coast and Maizy loved standing half in/half out of the sliding glass door. When I sneaked outside to try and capture this candid moment I noticed the funny, random reflection. Unfortunately she noticed me and it was over.
Sorry for the photo quality-- one of these days my roommate is getting a scanner and I'll be very happy, indeed.
Apologies for my laziness lately - I've got a lot of photostreams to catch up on. Have barely even opened photoshop or pressed a shutter for a couple of weeks now, I think going back to work after xmas was a bit of a culture shock, hopefully I'll be back on track soon.
In the spirit of getting back into things here's this morning's random photoshopping... Just 3 images overlayed at various blend modes with a couple of layers of texture and noise. No particular reason, just looked appealing to me...
