Random Poetry - "those that walk upon the curb"

in the world of walkers and striding meditators and meditations
there are those that walk upon the curb

i've seen them, superb in their balance, ease in their gait
i've even seen some walk on fences

like some tightrope master from a past life,
never have i noticed a stumble or a fall

there are those that walk on fences
and those that walk upon the curb

while their traveling partner takes comfort on the road
there are those that prefer to walk upon the curb

Photography (cont.)

Here are the remaining shots of the 2nd series as well as the time lapse series. For the time lapse I picked a single location for the "subject" and shot an entire roll of film over the course of a few hours. The time differential between exposures was around 5 mins. as the sun rose behind me and broke the fog over the pond (I have the exact time of each exposure recorded in a notebook that I don't have handy right now - perhaps in the future I'll post the entire series with time of exposure, f-stop, and shutter speed)

"Fog Lapse" Series -

Change of Pace -

I've been inspired to put some of my photography up. I don't own a digital camera, all I have is my 35mm Nikon FM10 (of which I'm quite fond). So, I've scanned some glossy prints that I took about two years ago.

The first set of prints are from 10/31/2004 and one of the many cementeries in Warwick, NY. Its not easy shooting in a cementery, but I was rather happy with the results. I have a thing for angels, and had taken a few other shots of tomb markers, but they didn't come out as well as these.

The second set of prints are from Long Pond Ironworks (10/17/2004) located in West Milford, NJ.

The third set of prints are from the same body of water, and are my attempt at exploring time displacement.

There are a couple random shots to finish things up.

Enjoy...

I'm having difficulties uploading the remaining images - All 5 images of the 1st series are posted here, along with 2 images of the 2nd series. The rest of the 2nd series, and the 3rd will be in the next posts.
