THE PHOTOCRAFT

1984 by George Orwell. This is my favorite novel and prophetic in many ways of the privacy and technology issues we face now and in the future, Big Brother is watching. I greatly enjoyed this thought provoking theme. That being said, I am not sure I have been successful in meeting the goal of the theme. If I have not then I have still learned in the attempt. The title of this novel made it difficult for me to translate it into a macro shot. In the end I tried to create an image that expresses the general theme of the book. I may or may not have been successful in following the theme and my photo may be removed, and that's ok.
I was surprised by the amount of discussion this theme created. The very concept of themed photography means you are photographing something to do with a topic someone else has chosen. If you're not quite able to accomplish the task it doesn't mean that you're a terrible photographer, or that your image is awful, it simply means that your image is somewhat outside of the intended parameters. A large group like this has many benefits but also requires rules to keep the group on task. I have accepted that I can't always accomplish that goal and I respect the moderators decisions. I wish other people would do the same, after all, there will be a new and equally interesting theme next week.
We seem to have a lot of Say's Phoebes here this winter. A nice little flycatcher with a burnt orange undercarriage. (In case you're wondering about the title, Phoebe was the Titan goddess of prophetic radiance. I know it's a stretch, but I struggled for an apt title this morning)
But poetic theology is not “word-magic,” just as other theological forms, such as Scripture, liturgy, or iconography, hold no inherent power to magically transport the believer into communion with the hidden God. The point is, God is already present. Liturgy, iconography, and poetics function as vehicles of presence, even for the nonbeliever, to the degree they facilitate a re-centering of subjectivity from the self and community to God. This transformative dynamic unites the poet, prophet, priest, and mystic, and unites them with every human being who has experienced that paradoxical moment in which one “dies” or “loses oneself” in the immediacy of something (some One) infinitely greater. Indeed, this sense of “infinitely greater” is such that the thought of freezing it in any kind of a system, linguistic or otherwise, feels like a violation, an act of reclaiming the center for ourselves too quickly. Contemplatives become prophetic witnesses precisely when they interrupt this act, interjecting the divine perspective into an imaginative framework that has become opaque, forgetful, or contemptuous of God—that is, the nest of the Unspeakable.
-Sophia, The Hidden Christ of Thomas Merton, Christopher Pramuk
When I made this image back in October of 2015 I had no idea it would turn out to be so prophetic! This was shot in a public pit toilet along the "Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail," Wanship, Summit County, Utah.
How is going to assemble the prophetic Oleg
Revenge unwise khozars
Their villages and fields for a violent foray
He condemned swords and fires;
With his team, in Constantinople armor,
The prince on the field rides on the right horse.
Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray.
Lord Byron
Pico do Arieiro, Madeira
This photo has become prophetic! I made it in 2014. A copy of the first ship of the Russian fleet (data from modern history), built by Peter 1. Five years later, in 2019, at the Marine Parade in St. Petersburg on the day of the Marine Fleet, a full-size copy of this sailboat will be released in the Neva ... But the barrel on the photo is both a symbol of a change in reconstruction technologies and a hint of future events that begin with the events of this week ... «Poltava”
By the way, photos of these ships taken on the appropriate dates, you can see in my album St. Petersburg! Enjoy watching....
"Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life.
The evening beam that smiles the clouds away,
and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray."

The mad prophetic Sibyl you shall find,
Dark in a cave, and on a rock reclin'd.
She sings the fates, and, in her frantic fits,
The notes and names, inscrib'd, to leafs commits.

Berlin, East Side Gallery, Painting on the Berlin Wall made by Ana Leonor Rodrigues in the year 1990.
Das Denkmal East Side Gallery in Berlin-Friedrichshain ist eine dauerhafte Open-Air-Galerie auf dem längsten noch erhaltenen Teilstück der Berliner Mauer in der Mühlenstraße zwischen dem Berliner Ostbahnhof und der Oberbaumbrücke entlang der Spree.
Im Frühjahr 1990, nach der Öffnung der Berliner Mauer, wurde dieses Teilstück von 118 Künstlern aus 21 Ländern auf einer Länge von 1316 Metern bemalt. Die Künstler kommentierten in gut einhundert Gemälden auf der ehemals Ost-Berlin zugewandten Seite der Mauer mit den unterschiedlichsten künstlerischen Mitteln die politischen Veränderungen der Jahre 1989/90. Wegen städtebaulicher Maßnahmen ist sie mittlerweile nicht mehr durchgehend erhalten, und anstelle der Originale von damals existieren heute nur noch die im Jahr 2009 entstandenen Repliken.
Die eigentliche Grenze bildete an dieser Stelle das Kreuzberger Ufer der Spree. Die Galerie befindet sich an der so genannten Hinterlandmauer, die das Grenzgebiet nach Ost-Berlin hin abschloss. Längs dieser Grenzanlagen verlief mit der Mühlenstraße eine der Hauptausfallstraßen in Richtung Süden. Aufgrund der räumlichen Gegebenheiten waren die zuletzt üblichen Betonröhren bereits hier aufgesetzt, so dass die Hinterlandmauer in diesem Bereich untypischerweise optisch, aber etwas überhöht, der äußeren Mauer glich.
The East Side Gallery memorial in Berlin-Friedrichshain is a permanent open-air gallery on the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall in Mühlenstrasse between Berlin Ostbahnhof and Oberbaumbrücke along the Spree.
In spring 1990, after the opening of the Berlin Wall, this section was painted by 118 artists from 21 countries over a length of 1316 meters. The artists used a wide variety of artistic means to comment on the political changes of 1989/90 in more than hundred paintings on the side of the Wall that was formerly facing East Berlin. Due to urban development measures, it is no longer fully preserved, and instead of the originals from then, only the replicas from 2009 exist today.
It was prophetic showing a picture of Marloes yesterday, as when we arrived at Martin's Haven , we were informed the boats to Skomer weren't sailing as the winds were too strong. At least the puffins would have a rest from all that posing. We popped down the road to have a wonderful two hours all alone on Marloes beach. This beach always has special memories, as it was part of our first holiday together, before we were married forty years ago. It was a magical morning, and luckily I'd thrown in my wide angle lens . I probably enjoyed taking shots of a deserted beach more than I would following a long procession of Puffin snappers. Do you remember the first time is by Pulp.
too easy- right? and i find it very prophetic and symbolic that the dentist drives a shiny white SUV. it appears that this used to be a tree that was cut down, carved and then painted. maybe it met a mishap and the tree surgeon suggested it be "shortened"?

(I was so surprised to find this meadow of flowers today down the street from my house still thriving in forty degree weather! I just had to stop and capture it before the winter ate it all up.)
Amazonia
by Alessandro Avanzini.
Chico Mendes' words were prophetic: “At first I thought I was fighting to save the rubber trees, then I thought I was fighting to save the rainforest of the Amazon. Now I understand that I am fighting for humanity. " We listen to the people of the forest who are telling us: " I'm here!"
Thousands of indigenous people from Brazil are forced to flee their homes or worse to die, as well as much of the local fauna.
This float is designed to draw attention to this dramatic situation that no one really seems to really want to remedy.
A survival hug between a young indigenous and a sloth indicates that the time has come for action before it's too late.
Back in September 2014, seeing a KCS GEVO leading a train across Minnesota on the CP was a rare treat. Not so much anymore. I still would've rather seen that former SOO SD60 on the point.

I call this place, hidden away and known only to local residents of Half Moon Bay in northern California, the "Enchanted Forest". That's not its real name.....to my knowledge it has no name and is not shown on any map. The trees along the trail were originally placed here to provide a barrier for farmers against the strong winds that often blow along the northern Pacific coast. In time the trees formed a dense canopy that, today, shades the understory of this forest trail.

This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks,
Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight,
Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic,
Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms.
Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring ocean
Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.
This is the forest primeval.
Poem by H.W. Longfellow (from Evangeline, 1847)

A rainy Saturday does have some perks. Hope this was a “prophetic ray” and that all of you have a terrific and colorful Sunday!
I see the future, and it looks strange
I see the Beast, the world’s in change
Freedom is gone; it’s the end of days
Digital enslavement, it’s the new craze
Sky’s burning red, cities turned to dust
Future’s uncertain, the BEAST we trust
Prophetic Revelation, staring in our eyes
Wars, Famines, plagues, and battle cries

紅色月亮一般是發生月食的時候會出現的。這是因為濃厚的大氣層把紫、藍、綠、黃光都吸收掉了，只剩下紅色光可以穿透過來。月全食時的紅月亮也是同樣的道理，大氣層將紅色光折射到月球表面上，所以我們仍然能看到在地影里，紅紅的月亮掛在天空中。
The scientific discovery of astronomy that have studied the behavior of the moon, declares that the atmosphere (which is the moral environment, the evil or divine presence that contains gases and emotional feelings) which surrounds and governs the earthly atmosphere in the Earth, seems to be affecting the appearance of the moon by turning the moon into a bloody red moon.
When the sun rays that comes from the sun light goes through the atmosphere of the Earth, they seem to carry with them the environment of gases, air, carbon dioxide that people breath out, emotions, and the pollution of the earth into the atmosphere of the moon, and when it reaches the moon, then the appearance of the moon turns into blood (red moon).
This prophetic photograph of Adriano J. Peg, Sylvia Brown, and William "Long Shoe" Scroggins was taken by a Manigotapi High School photographer for the annual yearbook. Adriano had a crush on Sylvia, who had a crush on William. A week after William disappeared from PE class, Sylvia had a vision of him resting underwater in an alligator hole in the Manigotapi swamp. Unfortunately the swamp was large and the alligators were plenty. The only thing that was found of William Scroggins was a lone brogan shoe perched on a cypress knee deep in the swamp.

I took this photo when I was about 12 or 13 years old. This was my brother, Shawn, when he was about 5. I told him to pose and he decided to pose as if he was praying. I don't think either of us had any idea how prophetic that photo would be.
My brother gave his life to Christ when he was just a little boy, about 9 years of age. I had come to the Lord about a year earlier, when I was 16. Since he was a child, Shawn has had a passion for the things of God, and definitely became a man of prayer, and eventually, did ministerial work. He has served as a pastor, and even had a radio show for a while, trying to reach out to the community in which we live.
Now, I am asking for prayers for my brother. Last night when I got home from work, he was waiting in the driveway, and asked me to bring him to the hospital. He was short of breath, gasping, and said he had had a coughing "fit" and coughed up blood. We rushed to the emergency room, and thanks to a dear friend who is a nurse, said the necessary things to get him in ahead of other people. She felt that he might have a pulmonary embolism, and told me he HAD to get in there right away or it could be fatal. So, she told me to threaten to call Morgan & Morgan, a local law firm that specializes in law suits! Sure enough, they took him in next, and since some people had been there for hours, that was pretty impressive!
We were there for hours, waiting for a bed to free up, and for tests to be run. His oxygen levels were low, and his blood pressure was incredibly high. I can't tell you how frightening it is to sit in a waiting room, helpless, while your kid brother is in a life-threatening situation. I couldn't help but feel that somehow this should have been me, since I was older. So many emotions flooded in, all the things we'd been through, and the petty squabbles that seemed ridiculous in the light of the situation. Finally, my middle nephew arrived and went back to see him, while I stayed in the lobby with about a dozen people, some who were crazy and having psychotic episodes, and others who were in pain but not complaining. It was like being in an episode of the Twilight Zone!
When my other nephew arrived, he went back, which meant I couldn't, so I received updates through texts. My nurse friend came to the ER and brought me a sandwich, because I hadn't eaten all day and it was 11:30 at night. I was so grateful for that sandwich!
I finally got to go back and see Shawn again. He was a little loopy from the meds, and was getting a headache from the nitro they'd given him. I learned his BP had been 203/ 123! His oxygen levels were up, and the xrays and tests were showing no clots in his lungs. They then suspected a heart attack. He had had no pain, though, so the other thought was that this was all because of elevated blood pressure. We won't know until morning what else they will do, and if he will have to have a heart catheterization. Thankfully, the BP is back down, and he is receiving blood thinner to keep him from clotting.
Needless to say, it's been stressful and harrowing, but Shawn has been in good spirits, making the jobs of the hospital staff a pleasure. They love him, and it's easy to see that he has such a heart for people. Now, people need to have a heart for him. I am requesting prayers and good thoughts for my brother so he will be out of danger and back home soon. It's hard for me to look at my 6' 3 1/2" brother now and see this little boy in the picture, but I still remember all the years that have gone by, and hope for many more to come. Please pray.
