Revelation

Been feeling all the time lately like one of those Revelation angels:

Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy."

But also

I have been watching this video over & over the last two nights. Because everyone needs some balance. & Kylie. & magic. & a neon jellyfish. & gold eyebrows?

Where I am so shall you be

Crying

Compassion:

Apparently instead of writing poetry I am making like 5 of these a day.

I am trying to keep them under control.

"There was that afternoon..."

“This photograph is my proof. There was that afternoon, when things were still good between us, and she embraced me, and we were so happy. It did happen. She did love me. Look see for yourself!”
{Duane Michals, via Miss Moss}

Sometimes it seems everyone is a better artist than you.

all the actions undone

Soft push

Today I picked up the first roll of film I took with my Diana. I was a bit nervous because I'd double exposed most of the shots & was afraid I'd just have a roll of overexposed messes. But what I got back was really encouraging & I'm now more excited than ever to keep playing with this camera.

{that rad number was on the side of a red sports car parked near where M & I were photowalking}

I do notice that the Diana's better than the Holga, in that it's less plasticky (better focus & less haze) & the vignetting's pretty solid & the film winds nice & tight (I have aquarium tubing in my Holga to hold the film, but it's still pretty loose in there), but in some way I think that means you have to push the Diana to get light streaks, etc., that come more naturally with the Holga.

One of the shots I was most excited about didn't quite turn out as expected, but I'm more than willing to try again:

{yes, ok, we're reading in a graveyard. So what.}

Next roll is already loaded...
