Etude du jour:
Allégorie de Camera & Obscura
Il était une fois deux petites boîtes sombres avides de lucidité, deux petites têtes vides pleines de curiosité, dont l’âme sensible attendait impatiente que la clarté extérieure les pénétrât
et fît naître en elles une image vraie de la réalité vraie.
Quand le moment fut venu, elles s’ouvrirent.
Camera, en quête d’Absolu voulait tout ressentir sans chercher à comprendre. Tout percevoir, absolument tout ! Le moment venu, elle décida de se laisser submerger par la plus puissante énergie possible. Toute sa sensibilité offerte à la jouissance
de tout engloutir intensément. Sans aucun jugement, sans penser une seconde avec ces mots qui obscurcissent l’esprit plus qu’ils ne l’éclairent.
Elle s’installa un film hypersensible qu’elle pousserait
au développement malgré son gros grain. Elle ouvrit son diaphragme au maximum, longtemps, et s’abandonna à l’ivresse extatique d’absorber sans retenue tout le flot entropique de la réalité qui s’engouffrait en elle.
Obscura, en quête d’Universel voulait tout saisir sans se laisser émouvoir. Tout concevoir, absolument tout ! Le moment venu, elle décida de tout distinguer avec la plus grande profondeur de champ possible. Toute son intelligence concentrée à tout discerner avec finesse. Sans la moindre distorsion, sans céder
à la tentation de croire à ces apparences qui éblouissent
plus qu’elles n’éclairent.
Elle s’installa un film à grain hyperfin qu’elle développerait rudement pour compenser sa faible sensibilité. Elle ouvrit dans son diaphragme un minuscule interstice, un infime instant, et concentra toute sa scrupuleuse lucidité à identifier la moindre particule de réalité qui parviendrait à s’infiltrer en elle.
La morale de l’histoire tous les photographes vous la diront.
Camera obtint l’image la plus claire qui soit, c’est-à-dire la plus floue à la fois, d’un blanc aussi immaculé qu’uniforme.
Obscura obtint l’image la plus nette qui soit, c’est-à-dire
la plus sombre à la fois, d’un noir aussi immaculé qu’uniforme.
Laquelle eut tort ? Laquelle eut raison ? Laissons cette dichotomie à tous les donneurs de leçons manichéens.
À tous les castrateurs en théologie du bien et du mal.
À tous les marchands de bonnets d’âne du saint marché
des bons-points. À tous les coureurs de records à podiums
comme à tous les collectionneurs d’échecs à médailles.
Observons plutôt comment la perspective née de leurs expériences respectives leur apporta la réponse ultime
à la question cardinale. Quelle image peut-on percevoir
de la réalité vraie ? Qu’est-ce qu’un point de vue ?
Qu’y a-t-il d’autre que des points de vue ? Ou encore,
avec le pictosophe : quelle est l’épaisseur des apparences ?
Désormais, lorsqu’elles choisissent une ouverture
et un temps de pause susceptibles de former des images moins aveuglées, Camera et Obscura sentent se former en elles
quelques soupçons de réalité. Ce sont des images aussi pauvres de sensibilité absolue que démunies de connaisssances universelles. Mais ce sont des images merveilleuses
et magiques, aussi riches de signes ambivalents que de sèmes ambigus, moirées de formes et de couleurs inattendues
comme autant d’innombrables demi-vérités.
Elles sont devenues sages, parce qu’elles savent que la réalité vraie leur est à jamais inconnaissable, fût-ce en créant
des myriades d’autres images. Elles sont devenues sages lorsqu’elles devinent ce qu’il y a hors champ. Lorsqu’elles subodorent ce qui précède ou ce qui succède. Lorsqu’elles soupçonnent ce que cache le halo sous l’infra-rouge
ou l’aura par-delà l’ultra-violet. Lorsqu’elles cherchent
ce qu’il y a ailleurs quand elles sont là, et là quand elles sont ailleurs. Elles sont devenues sages, parce qu’elles cherchent.
Elles sont devenues sages lorsqu’elles se racontent leurs éblouissements respectifs, lorsqu’elles partagent leurs aveuglements réciproques. Elles sont devenues sages, émerveillées d’être des mémoires qui résistent à l’Entropie. Emerveillées d’être sensibles à l’infime épaisseur des apparences. Joyeuses d’y être à la fois transcendantes et illusoires, ici et maintenant, de l’Entre à l’Autre, le long de la Voie du Milieu, dans le pli du Vide Médian.

Study of the day (debating the Plato's allegory of the cavern)
"THE ALLEGORY OF CAMERA & OBSCURA".
Once upon a time there was two small dark boxes, illuminated with certainties, two small empty heads, full of hope, and whose sensitive soul was waiting until the external light penetrates them to dazzle them with an image of the "True Reality”. At the proper time, they finally opened.
Camera in pursuit of the Absolute, wanted all to see without any reflection. All, absolutely All ! Then, at the proper time, it decided to be totally overcome by the "True Entropic Reality", all its sensitivity offered to intensely feel everything, without any prejudice, without thinking one second with all these words which darkens the mind more than they enlighten it. It installed a hypersensitive film which it will push in spite of its coarse grain. It tuned her diaphragm to the maximum aperture, a long time, and gave up itself to ecstatically feel the whole true light of the whole True Entropic Reality.
Obscura in quest of the Universal Knowledge, wanted all to know precisely, it wanted all to understand and memorize with a maximum of details and discernment. Then at the proper time, it decided to focuse a depth of field as deep as possible, to choose a pause time as short as possible, to be sure to get the highest neatness of the True Real Universal Memory. It installed a hyperfine grain film which it will develop energetically to compensate its low sensitivity. It tuned the aperture at less than anything, and adjusted the pause time at an infinitesimal fraction of nothing.
The moral of the story ? All the photographers will say it to you !
Camera obtained the most luminous image which is at ounce the fuzziest one, an immaculate uniform Absolute Entropic white 100%blank.
Obscura obtained the finest image which is at ounce the darkest one, an immaculate uniform Universal black 100%blank.
From now on, when it chooses an aperture and a time of pause suitable to create less blind images, Camera finally formed in itself several suspicions of True Reality. They are images as poor of Absolute Sensitivity as weak of Universal Knowledge, but they are marvellous and magic images, illuminated by unexpected shapes and colors.
In the neighbourhood of the Absolute Entropy, each cell of Camera opens like a white sapphire prism dispersing and breaking up the Entropic light in colored iridescences. From her cells juxtaposition are emerging lines and shapes, metamorphosing the dazzling Entropic light in simple but unknowable .. shapes, only lacking some .. words to name them.
From now on, when it chooses an aperture and a time of pause suitable to create less blind images, Obscura finally formed in itself several suspicions of True Reality. They are images as poor of Universal Knowledge as weak of Absolute Sensitivity, but they are marvellous and magic images, rich of ambiguous signs and senses.
In the neighbourhood of the Universal Memory, each cell of Obscura opens like a black sapphire crystal dispersing and breaking up the universal darkness in colored enlightening sparks. From her cells juxtapositions are emerging now vowels, consonants and others signs, metamorphosing the gloomy universal darkness in simple but unknowable .. words, only lacking some .. shapes to imagine them.

Histoire universelle du règne végétal, ou nouveau dictionnaire physique et economique de toutes les plantes qui croissent sur la surface du globe.
Paris :Brunet,1775-1778, [i.e.1773-1778]
I've always been a big fan of large earthworks art and Olrick Thorson's Standing stones in Acasia California is one of the most impressive I've ever seen. The sheer size of this project is almost hard to believe. ( over 120 feet tall) The remote location near the Oregonian border in Northern Califronia makes it hard to visit, ten mile dirt road and then a hard scramble down to the shore. But once you make the hike, it's so worth it.
The dream of philanthropist William Waits, who grew up on a small dairy farm not far from this spot, the Balance Rocks is the work of famed Norwegian Sculpture Olrick Thorson. This project took almost two years of his life and cost what must be huge sums of money. (because the Waits foundation is completely private entity and wont disclose the cost, no one knows how much. Unbelieveably these are free standing rocks and are not attached at all. Apparently the sheer mass of the rock is far greater than the wind sheer forces of even the strongest winds and once the proper balance is acheived they are very hard to move at all. (I would still think twice about kayacking by on a windy day however!)
Thorson is known for his wry sense of humor and it shows here in his clever use of pre-carving the massive rocks to give them the shape of smaller river rocks one usually associates with these carrins. An entire village of japansese masons lived in the town of Acasia for a whole year preparing the rocks the shape of which were designed with hi tech computers to ensure the proper mass and and size for optimal balancing.
Tragically, Thorson's younger Brother Yanni was crushed to death in a freak accident early on in the carving process. A plaque dedicating the work to his memory sits at the end of the trail not far from where I took this picture. If you're ever in Acasia California, you gotta go check this thing out!
(In a strange coincidence note Olrick's Father Tor was a confidant of my great uncle arthur and they used to hunt mushrooms togeather.)

This image was taken for a not-for-profit that has changed its name, focus, and mission to KEZA.
Official Statement on Name Change
"Sisters of Rwanda has been in operation in Rwanda for 2.5 years. Our original mission was to “ensure justice, equality and economic opportunities for Rwanda’s most vulnerable women”. Over the years we have learned better how to serve this amazing country and the people that dwell within it. We came here to listen and to learn, and as part of the natural maturation of our organization, we have grown into KEZA. Simply put, KEZA is the result of a 2.5 year pilot project called Sisters of Rwanda. “KEZA is a people-inspired luxury fashion house based in Rwanda. We buy top quality fashion goods from non-profit development organizations, generate income for the poor and help to establish Africa’s position in the luxury fashion industry.”
We still work with the very same 43 women that helped build Sisters of Rwanda. And our vision has only strengthened and become more strategic. Sisters of Rwanda has grown up, and we are proud to present KEZA to the world. Welcome to KEZA, “Where ‘they’ become ‘we’”. "

Frustración. Esta fotografía la he subido porque he consultado a mi mujer y a ella le gusta. Pero no es lo que esperaba. Ayer disfrutamos (familia y amigos) de un fantástico día de senderismo en el Norte de la provincia de Burgos. Fuimos a pasear por el llamado "Monumento Natural de Monte Santiago", en el linde de las provincias de Vizcaya (puerto de Orduña) y Burgos (Berberana). Entre las atracciones de este enclave natural, la más sobresaliente es el Salto del Nervión, que en pocas ocasiones, tras fuertes lluvias o abundante deshielo, vierte sus aguas al vacío en una espectacular cascada de 270 metros de altura. Habíamos visitado la zona hace años, pero en aquella ocasión el cauce estaba completamente seco.
Ayer fue diferente. No llevaba mucho caudal, pero si lo suficiente para poder contemplar de un bello espectáculo.
El único problema es que era Domingo, hacía un tiempo estupendo, y ese lugar está perfectamente urbanizado y señalizado...... mis "amigos" los turistas y domingueros tenían el lugar invadido.
Tenía intención de sacar unas fotos de este salto (sabéis de mi pasión por las cascadas) pero habrá que volver en mejores condiciones (¿tal vez de noche, nevando y con tormenta eléctrica?). Era tal la cantidad de gente que rodeaba el lugar que intentar colocar el trípode y tomarme mi tiempo para componer la escena, configurar la cámara, colocar los filtros y demás fueron tarea imposible. Una auténtica romería de: papás con cochecitos de bebé, excursiones de jubilados, parejas de pijos con ropa técnica de marca para pasar noche en el campamento avanzado de la ascensión al Anapurna, otros con zapatos de vestir y pantalones de tergal con raya al medio, gente disfrazada con pelucas de colores fluorescentes, cámaras compactas iluminando la cascada cincuenta metros más abajo con sus potentes flashes, graciosillos saltando sobre la plataforma metálica que forma el balcón (el mejor sitio para fotografiar la cascada desde esa posición). Vamos, como la Gran Vía de Madrid en época navideña.
Afortunadamente el resto del día fue completamente diferente. Después de comer nos alejamos de ese bosque de hayas convertido en parque temático en que se ha convertido el Monte Santiago, y llegamos al cercano Valle de Mena y su preciosa cascada de Peñaladros, en Cozuela, donde el río San Miguel cae en un salto de unos quince metros a una gran poza de aguas verdosas.
Esta cascada ya la conocía, pero no me canso de contemplarla. Me parece de las más vistosas de la zona, aunque no sea la más alta, ni la más ancha.
El único problema es que no conseguí una composición que me dejase satisfecho. El problema de estos ríos de montaña es que su acceso suele ser complicado, y la vegetación lo envuelve todo, haciendo muy difícil conseguir fotografiar la cascada desde una posición que permita componer la escena con todos los elementos bien dispuestos y sin estorbos que arruinen el conjunto.
Para esta toma me planté en mitad del río, con los pies en el agua (si visitas mi blog me verás....), y aún así no me gusta el resultado. La luz tampoco ayudó mucho, pero algo he aprendido: tengo que comprar otras botas de montaña que sean totalmente impermeables......

Some information about singapore
Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore, is a Southeast Asian city-state off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator. An island country made up of 63 islands, it is separated from Malaysia by the Straits of Johor to its north and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait to its south. Singapore is highly urbanised but almost half of the country is covered by greenery. More land is being created for development through land reclamation.
Singapore had been a part of various local empires since it was first inhabited in the second century AD. Modern Singapore was founded as a trading post of the East India Company by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819 with permission from the Sultanate of Johor. The British obtained full sovereignty over the island in 1824 and Singapore became one of the British Straits Settlements in 1826. Singapore was occupied by the Japanese in World War II and reverted to British rule after the war. It became internally self-governing in 1959. Singapore united with other former British territories to form Malaysia in 1963 and became a fully independent state two years later after separation from Malaysia. Since then it has had a massive increase in wealth, and is one of the Four Asian Tigers. The economy depends heavily on the industry and service sectors. Singapore is a world leader in several areas: It is the world's fourth-leading financial centre, the world's second-biggest casino gambling market, and the world's third-largest oil refining centre. The port of Singapore is one of the five busiest ports in the world, most notable for being the busiest transshipment port in the world. The country is home to more US dollar millionaire households per capita than any other country. The World Bank notes Singapore as the easiest place in the world to do business. The country has the world's third highest GDP PPP per capita of US$59,936, making Singapore one of the world's wealthiest countries.

Excerpt from www.toronto2015.org: PACHI is a young porcupine who grew up just west of Toronto in a forested area of the Niagara Escarpment. PACHI isn’t your typical porcupine; he’s outgoing and loves to explore new places and meet new friends. And while there are some prickly challenges in being accepted as a porcupine, PACHI is out to prove otherwise.
PACHI has 41 brightly coloured quills—one for each of the Pan American countries participating in the Games. His quills are five brilliant colours and represent qualities that he holds – green is youth, fuchsia is passion, blue is collaboration, orange is determination and purple is creativity. PACHI, like other porcupines, has a visual impairment and difficultly seeing people and objects that are far away.
One day, PACHI noticed lights and noise coming from the east. Always an adventure seeker, he quickly headed in that direction. His journey ended in Toronto and when he arrived, he noticed that everyone was diverse and unique like him. PACHI’s dream is for everyone to celebrate their differences and be proud of their individuality, like him.
Everyone was welcoming and this made it fun and easy for PACHI to meet new friends, explore the cool neighbourhoods and attend tons of great events. The city was so inviting that PACHI made Toronto his new home.
PACHI quickly learned that Toronto is hosting the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games during the summer of 2015. He heard that thousands of athletes, spectators and volunteers would be coming to the city. What a perfect opportunity to get involved and play host to the Americas and the Caribbean, he thought!
Team Porcupine includes Jenny Lee, Fiona Hong, Michelle Ing and Paige Kunihiro—a group of Grade 8 students from Buttonville Public School in Markham, Ontario.
The group entered the TORONTO 2015 Mascot Creation Challenge as part of a school project led by physical education teacher Mari Ellery. The four friends put their heads together and spent two months perfecting their porcupine and adding as many Pan Am colours as they could. Their hard work paid off!

1. Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
2. The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
3. Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
4. The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
5. The moment of observation is the real find ...
6. Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
7. Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
8. The meaning of all this is the process!
9. Let it be!

The Vulturine Guineafowl (Acryllium vulturinum) is the largest and most spectacular of the guineafowl bird family. It is a resident breeder in northeast Africa, from southern Ethiopia through Kenya and just into northern Tanzania.
It breeds in dry and open habitats with scattered bushes and trees, such as savannah or grassland. It lays its usually 4-8 cream-coloured eggs in a well-hidden grass-lined scrape.
although all other guineafowl have unfeathered heads, this species looks particularly like a vulture because of the long bare neck and head.
The slim neck projects from a cape of long, glossy, blue and white hackles. The breast is cobalt blue, and the rest of the body plumage is black, finely spangled with white.
The sexes are similar, although the female is usually slightly smaller than the male and with smaller tarsal spurs. Young birds are mainly grey-brown, with a duller blue breast and short hackles.
Vulturine Guineafowl is a gregarious species, forming flocks outside the breeding season typically of about 25 birds. This species' food is seeds and small invertebrates. This guineafowl is terrestrial, and will run rather than fly when alarmed. Despite the open habitat, it tends to keep to cover, and roosts in trees. It makes loud chink-chink-chink-chink-chink calls.

I had to be quick, because it struck me how this elderly couple sat there, in front of the most beautiful imaginable sunset and each of them looked in a different direction!
Had I taken my hazardous shot in a better quality, you'd see the lake and sky much darker than they seem on this photo but then you wouldn't be ablt to discern the two heads, turned into different directions! Those two obviously see the world from very different angles and might return home with the woman saying: 'Oh darling, wasn't that just the most magic sunset ever', whereas her husband might add: 'I don't know but have you seen that crazy couple in shorts and roller skates in the middle of February?'
Have all a very Happy Sunday!
