the soul,
Remembering how she felt, but what she felt
Remembering not, retains an obscure sense
Of possible sublimity,
-- William Wordsworth

Wig: FMD
Eyes: releaserain's
Face-up & clothes: by me
Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.
This is a great example of a memorial photo. The picture on the table appears to be of this couple standing behind the parents of one of them. We can assume they have passed on and the couple pictured is paying their respects. Photo by Adlington & Favor of Viroqua, Wisconsin. Found in WI.

Remember Fukushima
On the third anniversary of the tragic events following the tsunami and the resulting nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Greens/EFA MEPs carried out a symbolic action to remember the disaster and its victims at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
This followed a press conference with Naoto Matsumura, the last man living in the forbidden zone of Fukushima, hosted by green MEPs Sandrine Bélier and Michele Rivasi.

Although we are very fond of our curent cat, Sadie, we still have such fond memories of dear little Sky. We had her from when she was about 9 years old, going over to a Cat Protection League Shelter in a village the other side of Crawley, the next large town to Horsham. There was another cat with her there, Tabbitha, so we brought her home too. Tabbie passed on when she was about 16, but Sky stayed with us until she was 21. Such a lovely, friendly little thing she was.
Passed at 93.
Throughout his career, Mr. Wexler was noted for his versatile and intuitive approach. His 1969 "Medium Cool" mixed documentary and dramatic elements, telling the story of a fictional television photographer who covers the violence between Chicago police and protesters at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The real-life unrest was filmed on the spot for the movie, and its "cinema verite" approach was closely studied by aspiring filmmakers.
"I was under surveillance for the entire seven weeks I was in Chicago," Mr. Wexler told a reporter.
For "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," the last film to receive an Oscar for best black and white cinematography, he used handheld cameras to capture the tension of the tirades between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. For "In the Heat of the Night," he put silks over the tops of sets and aimed lights at their centers. His intent was to contribute to the tension between Poitier's big-city detective and Steiger's Southern white lawman.
As visual consultant on George Lucas' "American Graffiti," he hosed down the streets to achieve a moody, reflective style. He helped give Terence Malick's "Days of Heaven" a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere.
At age 12, he recorded his family's vacation in Mussolini's Italy with an 8mm camera.
Mr. Wexler was judged to be one of film history's ten most influential cinematographers in a survey of the members of the International Cinematographers Guild.
His film work also includes: Hoodlum Priest, The Thomas Crown Affair, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Days of Heaven, The Man Who Loved Women, Matewan, Blaze, The Babe, Mulholland Falls, and The Trial of the Catonsville Nine.

Nelson Mandela visited the University of Essex in July 1997 to accompany Graça Machel, who subsequently became his wife, and who was awarded an Honorary Degree in recognition of her work with the UN on children’s rights. That visit has has a continuing impact on the University with staff, students and members of the public who were able to be there on the day still vividly remembering the moment.

Ever since I was a young boy, I had an affinity for literature and language. I remember reading the dictionary when bored, so by the time I took the California Achievement Test in the 4th grade, I tested as having the reading comprehension of a college graduate. Needless to say, literature was a good friend while I was growing up. Robinson Crusoe, Robin Hood, The Hardy Boys, comic books, Crime and Punishment, Horatio Hornblower, Louis L'Amour… I read everything in my parent's bookshelves and beyond.
I had a particular affinity for two things: Sherlock Holmes and Mark Twain. I recall reading the unabridged Sherlock Holmes on Christmas Day (and Boxing Day) in one sitting—1200 pages or so. Tom Sawyer remains my favorite novel, but more on Mark Twain later.
When I got into high school, I found I had an affinity for writing and grammar as well. Magic happened when I picked up Strunk and White. The clarion call of Rule #13 ("Omit Needless Words"), and how it used itself as an example, was a revelation. Today, I am pressed into service as an editor and reviewer, because I am vigorous and exacting.
My hero today is William Safire. I regret not getting the leftist Houston Chronical for only two reasons: the Friday Fry's Electronics sales circular and the Sunday On Language column. (Oh, and happy day!, I've learned today that On Language is available online — goodbye Barnacle.) I love new words and the etymology behind them. It is a real passion for me.
But back to Twain. His essay The Literary Offences of Fenimore Cooper combines both literature and language arts. It is Twain at his best, barbed and funny. It's short; you ought to read it.
This photo is not staged beyond me setting up the lighting and starting to read. By the time I get to the part where he dissects Cooper's Indians "laying" for the ark in the canal, I was crying from laughter, as I always do. This time, I stopped before I was gasping for breath. It's only taken me a hundred readings to learn the result.
Good literature needn't be dry. In fact, it is a joy and a huge part of who I am.
This is my letter L for An Alphabet of Life.
Lit mainly by the lamp behind me and the natural light of the window, I still used the 430EX off-camera to photo right to balance the light. Without the flash, the surfaces facing the camera would be too dark. It was at 1/8 power, using the mylar diffuser and fired using the ebay remote.
You can't do justice for the sacrifice so many people made during the 1st World War. People who really didn't have an option but to fight in a pointless war that could have been avoided. But it's important you make an effort to remember them. And this effort is simple, considerate and honours every British and colonial soldier who died.
In honor of the 365 November Starters in-group FGR theme: favorite
childhood movies. One of the movies I remember watching over and over
on HBO way back when was "Anna to the Infinite Power." If you weren't
a child of the '80s, the briefest synopsis possible is that a pre-teen
girl, Anna, comes to find out that she's not your everyday normal
girl, she's actually a clone - and there are plenty of other Anna
clones out there. She sets out to find more about her true history as
those who devised the cloning project try to protect their project. I
remember asking my father to explain the title to me, since this was
well before I'd learned anything about squaring or raising numbers to
any given power (we were still working on multiplication tables!), and
it really still didn't make much sense, so the title was basically a
string of syllables to me for the longest time.
This movie totally stuck with me for years, and I remembered certain
scenes vividly. The funny thing is about five years ago, I got a hold
of the movie on VHS and discovered that not only did I remember some
things vividly... I remembered them a bit incorrectly. Oops. But
while the movie in some ways appeared dated, in a lot of ways it held
up over the years, especially around a time several organizations were
talking about trying to clone humans. It still packed a wallop as the
story unfolded in ways I'd forgotten. I hunted down and read the book
the movie was based on not long after, and it was also quite
enjoyable. I would recommend both! :-)
(Interesting side note: I had Rowan watch the movie with us way back
when, she was probably about the same age as I was when I first
watched it, but the only thing she seemed to really notice in the
movie was that Anna's brother was named... Rowan!)
On a technical note, this photo was a nightmare and a half to take. I
had about 30 failed shots and this is the best of the lot. I was just
determined to actually use one of the photos, so here it is, lousy as
it may be technically. Besides having to balance the second mirror in
the bathroom (home of the worst lighting in the house), trying to get
the camera in such a position that I was reflected back and forth
where it could see it about drove me insane. Gary came along to
rescue me from the trying to balance the mirror AND the camera and
remote at the same time, at least!

When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them
I remember you
Remember when we vowed the vows and walked the walk
Gave our hearts and made the start...
