these two seem to work together

in my head at least.


today I am going to see Auktyon among other things. Possibly do a little street shooting. Going to be a busy day.

I understood today that it is stupid to expect recognition of my photographic vision by all,when only a small group of people bears me as a person.That is a relief.I just need someone to remind that to me every time I start to get whiny.

The Bahai Gardens

The Bahai Gardens in Haifa are so groomed that the word roccoco comes to mind. They seem so unnatural it is a bit frightening.



Kodak announced a new version of tmax 400.Nice.

Life is strange. Often I feel happy in the morning and sad in the evening. I have nothing to complain about but yet I am not happy. I feel I dont know where I am heading. I think one of the things that drive me is photography – but where am I going with it? An exhibition or a book would attract no one,I will never make money of it in a way I would enjoy it and yet I don’t see myself not taking pictures.

That what plays in my head:

Nick Cave-into my arms

I don’t believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Summaron looks delicious wide open. Even with a misaligned RF.

I passed the test(I got 61 when the minimum passing grade is 60). Now I need to see to a couple of small issues and the course is over. I am so relieved.
