In the sterile hum of his lab,
he worked beneath the cold eye of fluorescence.
Wires curled like ivy over steel frames,
cogs turned in precise obedience,
and the machine whispered promises
of order, peace,
perfect little smiles.
He called it The Harmoniser.
A name soft as lullabies,
meant to calm the fears of the weary —
parents who dreamt of quiet dinners,
of laughter without tantrums.
The machine would smooth the rough edges of youth,
polish them into something manageable,
something pristine.
The first test was small: a boy
with a cowlick defying gravity,
a defiant fire in his eyes.
The machine hummed, lights flickered,
and when the boy stepped out,
his hair lay flat,
his gaze hollow.
He said "yes, sir" and "no, ma’am"
in tones drained of spirit.
The scientist marveled at his success.
The parents wept with joy.
But the boy did not laugh.
His jokes, once absurd and sprawling like weeds,
withered into silence.
More children came: wild and loud,
spilling with questions and wonder.
They left the machine
still,
obedient,
perfectly behaved.
The scientist never noticed
how the laughter dimmed in his town,
how chalk drawings disappeared from sidewalks,
how parents whispered about
dreams their children no longer had.
It wasn’t until he saw a little girl,
sitting beneath an oak tree,
staring at her hands
as if they were foreign things,
that he began to wonder.
Her fingers traced shapes in the dirt,
and then she stopped,
as though creativity itself
were a sin too great to bear.
He went home that night
and stared at his blueprints.
He had wanted perfection,
but perfection, it seemed,
had teeth.
By dawn, the townsfolk found the machine
its wires torn, its frame shattered,
its creator gone.
But the children stayed quiet,
their hollow eyes unchanging,
their perfect smiles
etched into the silence.

Here is a small clip of 39 still frames strait out of the camera. I used the Canon 1dx Mark III with the Canon 600mm Mk III + 2x III for 1200mm. I used the OVF to focus. The camera tracks so good using the 2x extender. I was handholding this in the wind so there is some movement.

I finally got something on the wall in the entryway of our home. The console is a cheap little thing that's a little dinged up, but it's so hard to find small consoles that will fit in my little home! I will be fixing it up a little bit and replacing the hardware, as soon as I get some time!
The chair was found at Goodwill for $20, the typewriter and most of the frames were thrifted, but if you want to know more, just visit this blog post of mine:

Description: 2014-04-12 - Making plans the night before for a milkyway session that I so yearn for, it was called off upon waking up at 2am to a heavy rain. Making my way back to bed, I made a mental note to wake up in a few hours with hope that I would get some nice sunrise instead at the Putrajaya Dam. Arriving late at location that morning to a sky that starts to "burn", I was struggling to decide on the composition that I would stayed for my time-lapse shoot. After a few minutes (and losing some of the "burning sky" moment), I decided to stay at this composition for a whole 600++ frames. Alhamdulillah the clouds formation and lights fall was one of the beautiful sunrise that I have witness. The image was one of the frames in the middle of the time-lapse session that day as the sun starts to come out of the horizon.
