“On the back part of the step, toward the right, I saw a small iridescent sphere of almost unbearable brilliance. At first I thought it was revolving; then I realised that this movement was an illusion created by the dizzying world it bounded.”
— Jorge Luis Borges
The Aleph, as described by Borges in his text “El Aleph” (1945), is a (meta-)physical point, in which one can see the entire universe, from every angle, at the same time.
I have used this metaphor to visualise my memory. In ALEPH I’ve tried to capture the past four years of this study through the collection of photographs I took during this period. In much the same way as I construct mental images in my head, this installation synthesises images from a given association.

"Lo vedi?", le disse, "Questi sono i nostri ricordi."
"Osservali fluttuare e disperdersi in un futuro indefinito in cui "NOI" sarà una soltanto una stanca parola priva senso.
Non ci resterà che un misero stelo.
Morto."
Went to a few gigs here mid nineties, I can't believe there's a plaque here now. There's not even one at what was once the Hacienda round the corner.
I've been re-editing old photos lately; it's lots of fun! to see more of these, and admire some new css tweaks to the design (I'm proud of myself for figuring out some of that geeky stuff), head over to my blog.

i was reminded of the saying- “The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.”
Just Njoyed the click...

This is an integrated camera toss... All images were the result of a camera that was thrown in the air (no teathering)...

Another of my surprisingly large stock of photos of Port Quin taken in July when we had our two days of summer! It was a beautiful day - somwhere in the mid 70's from my fading memory. The coast path winds away over the far headland with about a two mile walk to Port Isaac.

I had to share these shots from a session I did in April.
One of my ex-coworkers asked me to photograph her 90 year old father and her niece's 2 girls. I posted one previously of the 7 year old here .
The reason I'm posting now, is because I got an email today that her Father had a stroke yesterday and passed away :(
I'm SO glad I was able to do the session with them and give her some recent photos and memories of her dad. He was a real gentleman, and it was my pleasure to meet him.
These are just a couple from that day, I had many more for her.
It just goes to show you, that you should never put things off, you don't know what tomorrow will bring!

Four friends talk about their memories of the past, laughing and enjoying the moment @ Jeddah Historic Festival.
Memories never die.
My mother told me that once you've lost someone, your moments of greatest happiness will also always be your moments of greatest sadness. For in those moments of tremendous joy we will remember the person we cannot share it with. With each day that brought me closer to my wedding, I was engulfed with the pain of not having my father to walk me down the aisle. Every little girl's dream and it could never be mine. I wanted the impossible. I wanted my father back.
This necklace is the first gift my father ever gave my mother. It has no monetary value. After my father died, my mother gave this necklace to me and I have worn it almost every day for over 30 years. I was wearing it on my wedding day. The Rabbi came in to see me before the ceremony, as it is tradition that the Rabbi be the one to place the veil over the bride's face. He saw the necklace and insisted I remove it. He explained that tradition dictates that the bride not wear any jewelry. I wanted to respect the Rabbi's wishes, he was a good man, he had officiated at my father's funeral and had stayed close to our family. He watched as I removed the necklace and set it aside. He placed the veil over my face and left the room. I heard the music begin to play. I had only a moment before it was my turn. I picked up the necklace and tucked it down the front of my gown, close to my heart. One way or another, my father was going to walk me down the aisle. And I'd like to believe that somehow he did.

In silent moments,
Imagine you being here.
All of my memories keep you near,
In silent whispers, silent tears" ~ Memories by Within Temptation
While we were clearing out a cupboard today we came upon a film canister with three 35mm slide films. Scanned them in and they brought back lots of memories from thirty odd years ago. Times when the good old Zenit was at its zenith.
