SO, I thought it'd be cool if we all shared some of our own work on the blog. Just to see what we're all into photographing, etc. I may have gone overboard here. It's the same with lettuce; give me a head and I'll make twenty servings worth of Caesar salad that no one wants because they're all vegetarians and the dressing has anchovies in it dontchaknow and fish is meat, goddammit, stop telling me it isn't you fake vegetarians!!!!!.

Anyway. I'm Kay. This is some of my stuff.

(Luigi's formatted weird in that he cuts off images uploaded via URL rather than directly from your hard drive -- click on the image to see it in its entirety. This problem can be corrected. ASK ME HOW!)

words, words, words from tuesday and thursday

Explorers

by Charles Simic

They arrive inside

The object at evening.

There's no one to greet them.

The lamps they carry

Cast their shadows

Back into their own minds.

They write in their journals:

The sky and earth

Are of the same impenetrable color.

If there are rivers and lakes,

They must be under the ground.

Of the marvels we sought, no trace.

Of the strange new stars, nothing.

There's not even wind or dust,

So we must conclude that someone

Passed recently with a broom...

As they write, the new world

Gradually stitches

Its black thread into them.

Eventually nothing is left

Except a low whisper,

Which might belong

Either to one of them

Or to someone who came before.

It says: "I'm happy

We are finally all here...

Let's make this our home."

"The term origin does not mean the process of becoming of that which has emerged, but much more, that which emerges out of the process of becoming and disappearing."

-Walter Benjamin

from The Origin of German Tragic Drama

Sunny 16, in T-shirt form!

The basic Sunny 16 rule is, "On a sunny day set aperture to f16 and shutter speed to the [reciprocal of the] ISO film speed."

For example:

On a sunny day and with ISO 100 film in the camera, one sets the aperture to f/16 and the shutter speed to 1/100 or 1/125 second (on most cameras 1/125 second is the available setting nearest to 1/100 second).

On a sunny day with ISO 200 film and aperture at f/16, set shutter speed to 1/200 or 1/250

On a sunny day with ISO 400 film and aperture at f/16, set shutter speed to 1/400 or 1/500.
