These three were outside a church in Cartagena, Opposite them were three women, also dressed in white. When the bride and groom emerged they serenaded them along the streets. The procession was so lively.
“Life... is like these wooden chopsticks...”
“What does that mean?”
“....I don’t know.... have a drink...”
I have just spent the past couple of days as far as possible from everything in South Africa... in the middle of the Great Karoo... 80 km from the closest (one-horse) town!
Don't ask how we managed it... but myself and three friends were granted special access to the KAT-7 and MeerKAT radio-telescopes at the SKA (Square Kilometre Array) site... where one of the biggest scientific experiments every devised is currently being constructed. Once the project is completed (in a few years)... the 64 individual radio-telescopes (each with a 14 meter diameter dish) will combine to create the world's largest telescope... powerful enough to change the way that we understand the universe.
What an amazing experience it was... photographing these huge monster-mushrooms... under the billions of stars in our milky way... in one of the darkest and most remote locations on the planet!!
Thanks very much to Angus and Rob for organising this expedition of a lifetime... and also to Hougaard and Ohan... who joined us in this amazing adventure.
This four-image panorama of three of the original KAT-7 telescopes (the pre-cursors to the MeerKATs)... was captured about 10 minutes after sunset on Friday evening.
Stay tuned... there are many more photos to come over the next few weeks... and (as usual) I'll save the best one for last. :)

Menta, the chicken, was for a long while the only one to lay eggs - we got two baby chicks in last August, just a few days old, they grew nicely and are still to the day 'pet' chickens, accept and like to be touched
they started to lay their own eggs, hurray! we will have three (nearly) every day
background: handwoven basket made in Israel from the twigs carrying dates - fond memories... :)
Try to tell the truth by taking photographs that lie about it.

After some days of puzzlement with the instruction, suddenly I thought this could be the easiest 12by12 instruction ever. Actually, telling the truth by lying about it is what almost every photo does on reducing our visual perception to two dimensions. OK, I was wrong, that doesn’t count because the ability is on the medium, and not on the photographer. However a photographer can intentionally do something similar. Think about photographing subjects in motion, for instance. The shutter speed will change the way movement appears in photographs. Short shutter speeds freeze the subject but hide the movement. Long shutter speeds show us the movement, but distort the object in motion. Therefore, we can show the object or we can show its momentum, but not both things on the same photo. Can we square this circle? I dare say yes. One day, an anonymous and genius photographer discovered the panning technique. The moving object is photographed keeping it in the same position of the frame for the duration of the exposure. As a result, the subject remains more or less intact and the background goes blur, suggesting its speed. What is moving is shown frozen, and what is quiet is shown running. So we see the true because a lie is being shown.
I must confess I love the panning technique, especially when its result is imperfect. When imperfect, pannings give us a glimpse of a dimension that it is not exactly space or time, but something in between. A dreamlike dimension. Dreams, so. The stuff that best tells the truth by lying about it. More of the same...
Three teazles bound by spiders' webs...or perhaps three teazle heads bound by one spider's web.
I do not know. Who can tell ? Not one of the great questions of life.

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is truly staggering. In scale as well as intricacy. And it attracts a modern kind of pilgrimage: one made with a camera.
