A Persistence of Time is a short film that explores how our everyday world is always moving forward in time, without us being aware of the persistent and constant change taking place before us.
Flickr cuts off the last almost full minute. But please, click here to view A Persistence of Time in it's HD entirety.
I've been absent from Flickr for a while. This film is why.
That which is new builds upon the old. Each new flash of discovery standing out on its own, while the structure that allowed them to be fades away. Windows become doors, dust becomes massive, building to a new existence.

Study of the day:
"L'éthique c'est l'ethos grec, c'est le "caractère" dans la poétique d'Aristote, c'est le "séjour" pour Heidegger, c'est la place qu'on occupe, l'espace et le temps où l'on se tient. Il est directement rattaché à l’aidôs qui vient de Hades (Aidês), le dieu de l'enfer, de la mort. L’aidôs est défini par Aristote dans l’Éthique à Nicomaque comme la crainte de subir l’ignominie, une forme d’anticipation de la honte qui serait éprouvée en cas de manquement aux valeurs d’honneur, de justice, au regard des autres, et puni de la mort par Zeus lui même, lorsqu'il confia à Hermès le soin de donner aux hommes homométhéens le sens du respect, de la mesure, de la justice, en un mot : de la dignité.
L'éthique est au-delà de la morale. La morale est une collection de règles prévues pour résoudre les problèmes connus d'un lieu et d'un temps donnés. L'éthique est la capacité d'inventer des solutions pour résoudre des problèmes nouveaux, que la morale n'avait pas prévu, mais qui n'exigent pas moins respect, justice, honneur, au regard du bien commun, passé, présent et futur, et qui dépasse l'intérêt individuel de chaque mortel, en tant qu'il sait qu'il est mortel.
La morale est une mémoire, l'éthique est une incessante création."
"The ethics comes from the greek ethos, the "character" in the poetics of Aristotle, the stay for Heidegger, this is the place we are occuping, the space and the time we are staying in. It is intimately attached to the aidos, of Hades (Aidês), the god of hell and death. The aidôs is defined by Aristotle in the Nicomachean Ethics as the fear to suffer the ignominy, as a form of anticipation of shame that would be proven if case of failure in honor, justice, respect. Ignominy punishable by the death by Zeus himself, when giving to Hermes the mission to bring to the homomethean human creatures the sense of respect, of measure, of justice, in one word : of dignity.
Ethics is beyond morality. The moral is a collection of rules for solving known problems in a given place and a given time. Ethics is the ability to invent solutions to solve new problems, that morality not planned, but who need also respect, justice, honor, considering the common goods, passed, present and future, and that goes beyond the individual interest of each mortal creature, knowing it is mortal.
Morality is a memory, ethics is an incessant creation."
( d'une scholie de Bernard Stiegler - L'éthique, parlons-en ! )

A few minutes after this mockingbird flew away and eluded being photographed (photo below),
it was back on the same perch. What it didn't notice was that the pesky but persistent photog
never left his position directly under the tree...hehe!

"Persistence of Memory" is a bronze sculpture by artist Salvador Dali. His use of the melting clocks represent "an unconscious symbol of the relativity of space and time, a Surrealist meditation on the collapse of our notions of a fixed cosmic order".
Dali has said that the inspiration for the soft watches was not by the theory of relativity as some have suggested, but by the surrealist perception of a Camembert cheese melting in the sun.
Dali's sculptures were on display on the South Bank of the River Thames in London until early 2010.

:a river cuts through rock not because of it's power, but because of it's persistence: ~jim watkins
i read this quote several weeks ago and i can't shake it. i think about it several times during the day. i often want to choose the easy way, to give up or give in and so often what is required is persistence. to work a bit harder, to dig in.
i'm sharing it now because no matter where we are in our journey of life, we must persist. to live the life we were created to live. things will not always be easy but we must persevere. to be kind, to be loving, to claim what is ours, to give of ourselves, to hope, to dream, to grow.

The King of Fruit
The lifestyle of dealers during the fruiting season.
Pasar Besar Kedai Payang, Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia
Different stores, different results after a half-hour talking/waiting but never disrespectful/impatient... Got to use the $10 coupon off $100 purchase too and the other surprise were the sets were not overpriced!
Persistence paid off when I got this photograph of the full Moon on the Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. There was a very cold breeze and just the odd break in the cloud cover when I headed outside at 04:00. Wandering around for the next hour and a half, I finally got a view of the Moon. A minute or two later the clouds closed up and the opportunity was over. I can't say whether there were other breaks between 05:30 and sunrise at around 07:00 - I was back inside our apartment trying to warm up and not much interested in the sky.
I very much wanted to capture a shot of the full Moon with the 250mm/f5.6 lens that I had obtained recently for my Hasselblad 500C/M camera. It so happened that this was not your average full Moon.
I discovered that the June full Moon is known as the "Strawberry Moon". It bears this title because it is the time of the strawberry harvest (in the Northern Hemisphere). However, there is nothing particularly rare about this - there is at least one such full Moon every year!
What was unusual on this occasion was that the full Moon coincided with the Solstice, the Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, which is the shortest day of the year. The last time that this combination of a full Moon and the Solstice occurred was in June 1967. And the next time will be June 2062. If I get to see the next one, I will have celebrated my 100th birthday just one month previously! Something to look forward to - I'll have to put it in my calendar as a reminder!!

The lens that I used for this photograph is the longest focal length lens that I own. And it is a very special lens. This Hasselblad Carl Zeiss - Sonnar CF 250mm f/5.6 Superachromat lens is considered one of the best and rarest produced for the Hasselblad V-series cameras. Quoting from the Zeiss data sheet for the near-identical CFE version of the lens, a source that must be considered a little biased in this matter - "Optics conoisseurs around the world in search of the perfect lens therefore consider the Sonnar® Superachromat 5.6/250 CFE lens the finest photo lens ever conceived and brought to reality. It is an extremely valuable lens."
The lens that I have was manufactured in 1987, but is in immaculate "mint" condition. One of the features of the lens that stands out immediately is that the focus extends beyond infinite. This was a design feature to allow perfect focus to be obtained despite the inevitable small changes in geometry that accompany changes in the ambient temperature. I not only took great care to focus the shot, but also made every effort reduce camera shake (i.e., by using a tripod, using the mirror pre-release feature of the camera, and triggering the exposure using a shutter release cable). I was very pleased with the result - I shall go forward knowing that I can take a decent photograph of the Moon when I want toa record any future lunar events.

Photography notes ...
The photograph was taken using the following hardware configuration ...
(Year of manufacture indicated in braces where known.)
- Hasselblad 500C/M body (1994).
- Hasselblad CFV-50c Digital Back for Hasselblad V mount camera
- Hasselblad Focusing Screen for the CFV-50c digital back, with focussing prism and crop markings.
- Hasselblad 45 Degree Viewfinder PME-45 42297 (2001).
- Hasselblad Carl Zeiss lens - Sonnar CF 250mm f/5.6 Superachromat lens (1987).

I acquired the photograph (8272 x 6200 pixels) with an ISO of 100, exposure time of 1/500th second, and aperture of f/11.
Post-processing ...
Finder - Removed the CF card from the camera digital back and placed it in a Lexar 25-in-1 USB card reader. Then used Finder on my MacBook Air to download the raw image file (3FR extension) from the card.
Lightroom - Imported the 3FR image. Used the Map module to add the location details to the EXIF header. Then applied various lighting and color adjustments in the Develop module. Cropped the image and exported it as a JPG file with 1786 x 1786 pixels from the Library module. Saved the Develop Module settings as Preset 20160622-001.
PhotoSync - Copied the JPEG file to my iPad Mini for the final processing steps and posting to social media.
BigPhoto - Resized the image by a factor of 4 and output an image with 7144 x 7144 pixels. Cropped this image and output as an image with 4000 x 4000 pixels.
Photoshop Fix - Used the spot Healing tool to retouch a number of sensor noise spots in the background regions.
Photoshop Express - Applied various lighting, color, and sharpening adjustments. Converted the image to Black and White (B&W).
BigPhoto - Cropped the image a bit tighter and output an image with 3200 x 3200 pixels.
Exif Editor - Copied the EXIF data from the Lightroom output image to the final image.

One very lonely rose on the bush NeRdEtTe gave us. So pale and delicate. And perfect. All the other roses in the backyard look ready for their prune. This weekend.
The weather here is ah-mazing... kinda' scary.
There is a wonderful book by photographer David Lubbers that I highly recommend entitled “Persistence of Vision” in which the artist pairs photographs that he made years apart that show that he is seeing in the same way over time. I find this is true of my photographs as well ... on review ... images that are taken years apart appear to have a strong relationship in composition, light, texture, perspective, etc. even though it is not a conscious effort. I suppose this should not be surprising but it always makes me a little more thoughtful about my photography when I make the observation. The photos below were taken earlier, each about a year apart, and in different parts of the world. Although, in this case, they are all fundamentally abstracts, I can find these same photographic qualities, shapes, tones, and textures framed in some of my landscapes as well.
When the conditions are favorable and allow for a pretty solid chance of capturing a great image you’ll find me out shooting the night sky. I always head out with high hopes knowing that I ......
