Altar of Lost Traits

[Wisp]

Before i set off to start my work and before i click, i learned to consider whether i will do the same action one week from now, one year from now, one hundred years from now. That can really makes alot of difference, because its no longer just about clicking, its about who you really are! Don't be amazed that this practise can be so subconscious that happened within that split second. Never under estimates your metaphysics

However if i can make you feel exactly how you want to feel, then i am you take your own course.

Don't be surprised that the painter and his painting made thousands years ago TALKs to me alone!
There are perhaps trillions of beings saw the same painting yet they dissolved into ages without getting it.
To create and to feel, Thats the power of true Art!

Thats come to the sole reason for meditation even in creative endeavour such as taking fotos.

Completely and utter BS. Why? Da Vinci is born in 1452, not 'thousand of years ago'!

Wisp i like your joke. Thank you!

Do you think what you have capture in your film or digital image REAL ?? Funny nobody ever taught you before?

Photograph is one good way to kill the truth, because it isolates so much from its FRAME! you might capture a person falling, but will you know the truth what happened before and after and inside his intestine?

the question is, do we need to know? does it matter?

the Frame in a photograph...is a way of lending weight and emphasis to certain parts of the truth. framing can be an abstraction of the truth, the removal of what is unnecessary, what we don't need to know.

in other words, photography is not truth. we can write about the so-called truth, we can talk about the so-called truth, we can photograph, but all we are doing is just lending others our perception and interpretation of the truth.

Yesterday sent in my wonderful digital P&S to Olympus to get my broken LCD replaced which will cost me about USD80. Despite having to endure this and many rob & steal story (lost more than USD200) i have encountered during my Cambodia trip, it have been very satisfying. The temples and friendship i'd discovered is more tremendous than anything. Furthermore of good luck and bravery to bring along my deluxe Leica-M3 and Pentax SLR, they were intact, performing well and great joy. Now i will wait till tomorrow evening to see my 8 rolls of films and slides.
