When we are really honest with ourselves
we must admit that our lives are all
that really belong to us...
only by giving our lives do we find life.

For residents of Taquile island, off the coast of Puno in Peru, spinning, weaving and knitting yarn is extremely commonplace. In fact, it dates back thousands of years and it’s as important to everyday life as farming and cooking. The knitting is traditionally done by men, so everywhere you go on the island, you will see men knitting.
Their knitting is very intricate and detailed, and the clothing they produce tells a lot about whom a person is. Men knit themselves red hats if they are married and half red & half white hats if they are single. If a husband’s wife dies, he will wear a completely white hat. If a man was once the leader of the island, there will be a special pattern on his hat.
When a young couple is ready to get married, the man will knit the traditional red cap and will present it to the prospective father-in-law. The in-laws test the young man’s skill by filling the toque with water, and if the fluid drips through it he fails and must start again. If the threads are tight enough to contain the liquid, he gets the tick of approval and can marry the girl. The women, on the other hand, will weave a belt for men to wear, and offer it to them when they marry. They make it very colourful, with lots of patterns, and will also weave in a lock of hair inside the belt in order to stay close to their husbands, and remind them of their “matrimonial duties”. Each year the woman makes her husband a new belt, and each year it has a different symbol added to it. They do that to tell the family history, births, deaths, good harvests etc.
Nice to see my single Camelia in bloom on a dull afternoon & not too much damage by the Muntjac Deer

It was really cold tonight, so the snow was coming down in perfectly formed flakes and I just had to get some pics with my new MPE-65mm.
This is pretty much unedited, and may be replaced with a properly processed photo soon. I just wanted to get it up ASAP, sensor dust and all, before I went to bed.
Aside from being really cold while taking these photos, it was also really dark and with the dark viewfinder when using this macro lens it made focusing really difficult. I was using the lamps on my ringflash, which work well, but they don't give me enough time to find the snowflake, frame, and focus. They kept turning off just as I found the snowflakes again -it was SO frustrating! I ended up finding a flashlight and bungie-ing it to light up the flakes. It wasn't as good as the lamps, but it didn't turn off on me, so that ended up working best. Eventually I'll get the hang of this lens...
This photo made Explore #63! Thanks everyone for the comments and favs!

Eastman Kodak's modern One Time Disposable Single Use camera, was introduced in 1987. The Fling was based on 110 film. Kodak released a 35 mm version in 1988, and in 1989 renamed the 35 mm version the FunSaver. That same year they discontinued the 110 Fling. Although we think of the One Time Disposable Single Use cameras as a modern product, it really goes back to 1888 when Kodak introduced "the Kodak" and coined the phrase, “You press the button, we do the rest.” It is truly amazing how that camera and Eastman Kodak changed how we use photography today. More on this and and why I have attached such a long name to it on a future Film Photography Project Podcast. I'll update with a link when it airs.

Edgar Degas French, 1834 -1917
Frieze of Dancers ( Danseuses attachant leurs sandales) , ca. 1895
Oil on canvas
The Cleveland Museum of Art. Gift of the Hanna Fund.
This work encapsulates Dega’s interest in repetition and variation—lessons learned from his monotypes. One of the artist’s largest paintings, it shows four ballerinas in nearly identical poses, tying their toe shoes, depicted from different angles. But are we seeing four dancers? The two figures at left look like mirror images, recalling the reversals of printmaking. Or are we circling around a single dancer, following Degas as he carries out an instruction found in one of his own notebooks, to “study from all perspectives a figure or an object, it doesn’t matter which”? With that in mind, the painting may relate to contemporaneous time-motion studies by Eadweard Muybridge and Etienne-Jules Marey, who tried to document action through successive still photographs. The filmstrip-like composition may also allude to cinema, newly emerging in Degas’s day. The ambiguous background, rendered in earthy tones, derives from his experiments with monotype.
