26" ain't dead.
Ten years old. Beach on the Atlantic ocean, cold water, warm but breezy summer day, hard light. Standing right where the waves end their intense crashing, afraid of their size. Back turned to the ocean, feet on wet sand, looking at people right and left of you, on a parallel line to the water, some looking happy, some sad, others indifferent. A sudden silence behind you makes you turn towards the waves. Time freezes. A giant wave, several times taller than you, almost casts a shadow. Time to decide. Try to outrun it? Impossible, unless you have some hidden certainty that something will stop it. Or run as fast as you can towards it, trying to jump into it, before it crashes on you. Will you be able to? Time to decide. Just don’t take too long to make that decision - it might take twenty years, it might take one hundred, but the wave will come.
Ponder your decision. Wisely. Look sideways, to the people parallel to you, the ones looking happy, sad, or indifferent. Some are looking back to the beach, to the ones the wave cannot really hit, others forward, but most are looking sideways, to the now. And most people haven’t noticed the sudden silence, even most of the ones looking forward. Those see promise in the wave, or a threat, but most of them don’t see the size of it, for good or bad, the impressive shadow it may cast. They don’t hear the silence. They don’t even conceive that there’s a choice to be made. That running towards the wave is one of the possibilities. Look sideways, but don’t let the sound of the now make you deaf to the silence of what may come.
This is not the first giant wave, by far. People further up the beach have faced other waves, and those have drowned a lot of people. I’m sure a lot of people will survive the effects of the coming wave even if they don’t believe its size. The important thing to notice is that the size of the waves has been increasing - and the time between waves is getting shorter… The silence is deeper this time. But there are important thresholds that will be crossed, perhaps some that will change who we are on the other side of the wave. This time is not only a question of survival, but a question of identity.

Back in Puerto Natales after the trek. Looking out at Última Esperanza Sound with the big mountains in the distance.

A camera toss series. I hadn't done any of these in a long time and thought it good to revisit the bare essentials considering it was a camera I had not used for the technique yet. A single white LED provides the light source, exposures vary from .7sec to 2sec. What is produced is essentially an inverted physiogram (inverted in that it illustrates camera motion rather than subject motion) and can tell you alot about the movement possible with a given model of camera.
I also had been meaning to do this simplistic series for a while, because I feel achieving something aesthetically wonderful does not require an overly complicate light source, the beauty is ultimately due to the motion.
All images in this series are directly from my Kodak Easyshare 3.1mp camera, no hotoshop, no cropping or manipulation other than image rotation.

View On Black One can spot this unique tree as they enter Chintamani. This tree encapsulates a small temple called Essaki Amman Kovil and local kids are scared to come near this temple, for the fear of Essaki Amman catching them, I hear. What I saw inside was not all that menacing though as some one thought it would be wise to add a purple' laughing Buddha like plastic doll to give Essaki Amman some company.
I have discovered how delicate the balance in life really is; taking out the camera again is teaching me that taking a break from responsibilities once in a while is very important to the soul. With that in mind, I will upload something interesting tomorrow, I promise. Sorry I'm not visiting your streams.
But in the meantime, this doesn't seem so bad large.
