119 / slow

This is the one I used for wallpaper on my iPad mini,

though I've yet to see how to get the full frame on the screen.

Does exposure to microwaves/wifi emitted by all

these devices have a measurable effect on our health,

or is it healthier to tune out some of the negatives?
That is, don't think about it?

118 / slow learner

Resized these, I thought, for use as wallpaper on

my new iPad mini

some of them won't work at all, with apps all over the top,

but the main reason is I haven't found how

the device will resize, though I spent hours reading 

various how-to sites..

these last two would have been best perhaps,

but all of my pictures need to be the full composition

...certainly I like them to be. They invariably were

severely cropped on the iPad screen. I tried several ways, including

photographing the screen on my Mac, with the iPad.

When I locate the one I used, I'll post it.

sky Buddha

using 'mistakes': I could see I'd moved on the first shot,
focus fine in the next, so I put them together

when I got back to my big screen.

yes, there are some repeats ~ needed to give the

Each combines several photos

60/ birdtrees

Somehow the leaves of tropical trees
more often resemble birds

59 / mirrors

I particularly enjoyed the use of mirrored surfaces, in Burma, which

are quite hard to photograph because 2 eyes see differently

to a camera lens, & each small movement

makes something new.. or discloses something older

..the sense of those who came before..

56/ overheard

When I saw this wall in Ayuthaya (before adding the gold)

there was just the speech bubble, 
a piece of plaster in the midst of a large old brick wall; 
am in two minds whether to keep the

change, it was already so eloquent.

Adyashanti

55/ mirror image

Today is another birthday, it was my twin's yesterday,

she is far away, so it's strange to know that the idea of time

being different in another country

means that we can celebrate on the same day..

never could get my head around numbers.

It's a mystery how any thing works..

in awe of how this works

54/ past patterns

Did this a few weeks ago, in the middle of some

old pattern showing up; it somehow helped enormously

~ digital sand play.

It resolved, or became conscious, & passed out of memory

The background photo at right is of mirror tiles in a Thai temple,

a feature in many wats.

53/ lotus

It's a little like when I was painting every day,

I would put one aside for a time, begin another, look at all

new ones together, etc. 

The lotus is my favourite flower.

Nothing really prepares you for the first sight of one,

really quite breathtaking.

..every time..

I find this funny & clever

52/ vanishing

This one began with a buddha figure vanishing into the

dappled light; later I added very pale flowers

from an earlier image, finally adding a coloured one

around the heart area, which also seems to be the eyes' focus.

The speed of a computer is so helpful

to just seeing what happens by itself.

51/ meditate

There's a possible new project: an image suitable to

represent meditation, for a book. 

 For me that means

'allowing every thing to be as it is.'

So it could be a buddha type figure

(that seems to be an easily understood symbol),

or almost anything that evokes a sense of peace..

Even though it might for instance be an active

process of sending love to all be-ings.

In the case of a book cover, it also needs to be
an image that captures the attention.

50/ light

A beautiful light at the beach today, the air clean & crisp

You might be astonished to know how many photos

I have of light on water, it's one of my favourite sights.

Light on any thing. Some days especially,

light seems to caress whatever is.

49/ flowers

Sometimes I like to see how close I can go to "too much",

while trying to suggest a state that's beyond quantifying..

48/ skylights

Another short video I made from a few stills,

I might try to recreate it

as an 'event' on my mac.

47/ earth touching

More muted, perhaps due to trouble

with my back (taking some anti-inflammatory pills)

The hand is in the earth touching mudra on a Thai statue.

I've done a few versions of both, then I'll keep the best.

interesting 24hr clock idea

46/ responding

Something I'm interested in showing is how the layers

of time/history appear ~ or disappear ~ at old sites

particularly when it's been a place of devotion

for generations ~ it seems to be what draws people,

as much as anything; we sense that devotion even if

not consciously aware of it.

Certainly I do, don't you?
