photos and imagery. mostly. They speak quietly, Obscure but not riddles, Sound without voice, In meter without rhyme, ripples of mind

New (to me) toy! Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 AI-S. So glad I was too cheap to buy a system lens! I played with the Fujifilm 90mm f/2, and it was a good lens, but boring. The 105mm on my Fujifilm is the first digital setup I have had with proper affordances for MF. It feels amazing. // #photography

New toy. New to me, anyway. Oldschool. Micro-Nikkor 105mm 1:2.8. The photo off my camera is a zoom into a test shot of my 220 dpi display. Clear pixels. Wow.

A camera screen displays the word DISP and the numbers 00 and 00. The setting includes a dial with the letters DS and a button labeled MENU.A camera with a lens on a wooden surface. The lens reads FRINGER NF-FX.

A grade-and-crop of the image I posted yesterday, because it deserved one and I couldn’t. But after I did it, I realized something: It’s not the same image at all. Showing the shadows changes the vibe. More moment, less performance of one. // #photography

A poem for today. I feel like it’s a pile of stereotypes. There is probably some truth to that. But at least they’re used in a less stereotypical way.

i follow

 She walks in the light of a thousand suns,
 draped in smoke.
 as smoke. the fire, hidden in the murk,
 burns.
 i follow.
 i am tiny in Her diffuse shadow.
 i shy from the light She carries forth.
 protected by shadow in her black glow.
 as a mouse, hidden, i continue.
 as a mouse, hidden, i exist.
 and if She makes mistakes,
 She stops, confused,
 chaos looming, ever closer,
 and i point, mouse in shadow,
 to show the way home.
