warm thoughts
cold fingers
so far from earth
so close to center
simplifying visions
going back to shadows
a rhythm of breathing
a harmony for death

Three photos of the day: Editorial Fashion Portraits & Eclipse

The Eclipse
.
.
I stood out in the open cold
To see the essence of the eclipse
Which was its perfect darkness.
.
I stood in the cold on the porch
And could not think of anything so perfect
As man's hope of light in the face of darkness.
.

"Being"
.
.
.
The contradiction of reasons
falling
swimming in a red river
while picturing future
.
Lost
through a glass gate
drowning in soft sands
while remembering the past
.
Velvet
existing in time
crushed to be made
while looking inside, looking within
.
...and it's over.

Three photos of the day: Proposition 8 & Editorial Portrait Photography




Model: Miss T. and her real partner at the time, Film: Ilford B/W 400,
Style: Editorial Portrait

" Proposition 8 is a California State ballot proposition that would amend the state Constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman. It would overturn a recent California Supreme Court decision that had recognized same-sex marriage in California as a fundamental right. The official ballot title language for Proposition 8 is "Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry." The entirety of the text to be added to the constitution is: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."

This proposition recently passed!

Allow me to use parts of Robert F. Kennedy's speech on violence, as a response to this event:

"When you teach a man to hate and fear his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man because of his color or his beliefs or the policies he pursues, when you teach that those who differ from you threaten your freedom or your job or your family, then you also learn to confront others not as fellow citizens but as enemies, to be met not with cooperation but with conquest; to be subjugated and mastered.


We learn, at the last, to look at our brothers as aliens, men with whom we share a city, but not a community; men bound to us in common dwelling, but not in common effort. We learn to share only a common fear, only a common desire to retreat from each other, only a common impulse to meet disagreement with force. For all this, there are no final answers.


Yet we know what we must do. It is to achieve true justice among our fellow citizens. The question is not what programs we should seek to enact. The question is whether we can find in our own midst and in our own hearts that leadership of humane purpose that will recognize the terrible truths of our existence.


We must admit the vanity of our false distinctions among men and learn to find our own advancement in the search for the advancement of others. We must admit in ourselves that our own children's future cannot be built on the misfortunes of others. We must recognize that this short life can neither be ennobled or enriched by hatred or revenge.


Our lives on this planet are too short and the work to be done too great to let this spirit flourish any longer in our land. Of course we cannot vanquish it with a program, nor with a resolution.
But we can perhaps remember, if only for a time, that those who live with us are our brothers, that they share with us the same short moment of life; that they seek, as do we, nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and in happiness, winning what satisfaction and fulfillment they can.


Surely, this bond of common faith, this bond of common goal, can begin to teach us something. Surely, we can learn, at least, to look at those around us as fellow men, and surely we can begin to work a little harder to bind up the wounds among us and to become in our own hearts brothers and countrymen once again. "

- April 5, 1968, Rober F. Kennedy

Let's hope people can over come their prejudices against each other and not only accept but cherish the reality of diversity and freedom who everybody deserve to live in.

Cheers

Time and Again
.
.
Time and again, however well we know the landscape of love,
and the little church-yard with lamenting names,
and the frightfully silent ravine wherein all the others
end: time and again we go out two together,
under the old trees,
lie down again and again between the flowers,
face to face with the sky.
.
- Rainer Maria Rilke 1875-1926
