10.45 Uhr, eine Viertelstunde vor Beginn, sind etwa 30 Mitfahrer vor Ort und pflegen Smalltalk zur Begrüßung.
One of many periods of pointless sitting around. In Sikkim, I constantly found myself sitting at a table with a stranger, politely making smalltalk or sitting in silence. Usually over tea. Maybe all rural areas have this social convention, that you "stop by" and just sit around with people.
So here are Chandra and I, sitting down after an 8-hour hike, politely waiting for Hirendra the hotelier to show up and say, "How was your trip?" We'll say, "It was fine," and then Chandra can go home and I can go to my room and take a shower. Totally weird. My practice came in handy -- I've gotten fairly good at sitting and doing nothing comfortably.

taken for monthly assignment for March 2012: A group of...
Your assignment is to find or compose a scene that shows a group, or collection of something.
Dare: find a group of something already in a pattern outside your home.
Restriction: limit use of photoshop/gimp/etc to light and colour adjustments. ( no cloning)
WIT:
I put a watchmaker's magnifier glass on top of my tamron lens and shot as usual. The magnifier gives automativally a strong vignette. In gimp I adjusted color curves, added contrast and color intensity.
Kneeling on the ground with a camera whose lens is extended to maximum, holding a magnifier glass in front and holding it almont into the dirt must look odd. At least I take it from the looks and questions I received from bystanders. There is a little patch of green with a tree and these small blue flowers in front of our supermarket. Some presumably homeless asked me what I was doing, asked whether I photographed bugs or the like, and I had a bit of smalltalk with them. I believe they still think I am nuts :-)
I like how these blue thingies on the filaments (botanic is not the field where my vocabulary is best) seem to hover over the blossom. The field depth is naturally very shallow with the magnifier glass and I selected a very large aperture here, too, to really just have the focus on the tips.
“Fabricius departs from his signature format, the small, white art magazines, to ‘remix’ an entire magazine itself. The narrative structure is perfectly straightforward: a man, a woman, an orange sofa. Smalltalk over fags and booze (and Jolly Cola), and suddenly all their clothes are off. Party time in pornland. The expected standard effects are distorted by the montage technique, striking a different, perhaps rather more critical note: the fierce, cut-up montages can at times look like fragmented and–quite literally–headless orgi_s of violence.’
