What Once Was
To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles today
To-morrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he’s a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he’s to setting.
That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.
Then be not coy, but use your time,
And, while ye may, go marry:
For having lost but once your prime,
You may forever tarry.
–Robert Herrick
Rainy Day
Today a pretty good rain storm is hitting the California coast – up to 3 inches in some areas, with potential mudslides where land has been laid bare by wildfires. I had hoped to get out before the rain, to take a look at the nearby open space, and possibly take some photos. Other activities have distracted me, so I thought it was high time to get out. The thing is, that it was raining pretty hard by the time I was ready – 7:30 a.m. – and it is going to be like this for the rest of the day. So, instead of getting too far from the safety of the front door, I decided to look at what was around the house and on the patio. I got a bit wet, and so did the camera, but we both dried off rather nicely.
Sea Between the Seasons
This picture was an accident. The Welta Weltur has no double-exposure prevention mechanism. Potential mistakes to potential artwork! This made me think of the point between the wave and the tideline, where movement increases and decreases imperceptibly to its own rhythms.
November Flowers
This is a test film of flowers on my patio – Ektar 100, Welta Weltur, Epson V600. This was taken to test the sharpness of the lens – and to just use the camera!
