The wandering zen poet Santoka Taneda fled the world to walk deep into the mountains. At night he would end up at an inn drinking sake, writing down all the poems he composed during the daytime.

Like other similar figures that I come across in my biographical studies, if it weren't for the beneficent people around them, in Santoka's case his publisher, their work would be lost to us.

 

Here Santoka is given an alms collecting camera. It is in theory a counterweight to his painful life. To the poet who has cast off his worldly possessions and can only be burdened when he is reminded while on the streets of modern conveniences and the ever evolving world moving away from him faster and faster, my design offers him an upgrade. The poet's vengeance here is an amalgam of : a penny arcade mutoscope, a digitized camera, a trance device, and other street elements. His begging bowl is no longer pitiful and antiquated but has the accoutrement all of automata. He holds in his hands a design that attempts to reconcile opposites in poetic fashion--- the lowly amusements with the high minded zen ideals.

A Kodak Brownie Starflash has been modified and converted here to the ergometrics of a homeless person. In true beggar-poet tradition the user lowers his head humbly while standing in the middle of the street, his eyes over the hood of the viewfinder that works through internal porro prisms. The begging bowl, converted from the camera's original flash is an amazement of contrasts. It's silver surface has been lined as carefully as a zen garden with a myriad of carefully cut 3/4" long birch twig fragments. When street people place loose change into the begging bowl they will experience a clear meditation moment as they marvel at the contrast of textures of natural bark with chrome with the copper of their pennies. At the poet's discretion, he can pull a discrete trigger in the back and a gumball (wrapped with a hand written koan) will trickle down an internal pathway out to the reservoir on the side of the camera. At the end of the day, the bowl can be folded up and any coins can be stored safely inside the camera too. An mp3 chip sounds a continuous recording of lowly crickets chirping to remind the pedestrians of the street of nature.

Chirk Castle, Wales. An image I took a few weeks ago and have only just got round to sorting out, but what a lovely space to sit and write, emailing from a desk like this just wouldn't seem right.

The Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805) was a naval engagement fought by the Royal Navy against the combined fleets of the French and Spanish Navies, during the War of the Third Coalition (August–December 1805) of the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815).

 

Those who died at sea were caste to the sea bound in their hammocks, but all who died on Gibraltar were interred on the ‘Rock’ but today only two Trafalgar (graves) headstones exist in the Trafalgar cemetery in Gibraltar, not the original cemetery, the site of the earlier cemetery cannot be identified. The two graves are of Lt William Foster of the Colossus admitted on the 28th died 30th Oct from a thigh wound. and Captain of Marines Thomas Norman admitted 3rd Nov and died on the 6th Dec from a shattered skull

 

The ‘Mars’, ‘Africa’, ‘Colossus’ and ‘Temeraire’ amongst other ships were to arrive at the Royal Hospital Haslar on the 1st December 1805 and discharged more injured (in large numbers), or those discharged from Gibraltar who had taken a turn for the worse.

Ok, I’m starting a ...well it’s not a contest per say….more like a fun challenge.; a game really

This is a card game, but we won’t be using it for it’s intended purpose.

Each week I’ll pull out a card and you guys answer it.

However you could answer as anyone. Your best friend, favorite movie character, another Flickr member (be nice), your favorite book character,...or best of all, for those of you writing stories, you could answer as one of your characters, to help you hone in on their personalities.

And you don't have to answer as the same person every week. One week you could answer as Optimus Prime and the next as Giftbaby ;)

This is all for good fun, and I’ll be joining in as well. :)

Ill be pulling the first card on Monday!

Anyone who wants to be a part of this, just let me know in the comments and I’ll add you to the future tag list

This is my first attempt at writing Gurbaani.

Please feel free to give me tips advice and comments.

I wasn't planning on doing this style, kind of just went with the flow, and one thing lead to another...

Description: After the Jacobite rising of 1745, so many prisoners were taken that King George II ordered that the authorities draw lots to see which prisoners would face trial.

I finally finished my sewing project and had a lot of "scrids" (as I call them),

left over so needed (needled!?) to just play today. I made a few fabric postcards which will

go in the mail this week. I can't post my project yet, because it is with a jury right now.

Will be interesting to see if it gets approved or rejected! This was a first for me, as

I rarely enter contests.

 

Stay tuned!

 

Hope everyone had a beautiful weekend. We finally had a whiff of Spring!
