Nebula

A study of childhood by Jacqueline Roberts using the wet plate technique.

Nebula, an amorphous stellar object when viewed at a distance, becoming clearer and clearer as the eye get closer.

My Christmas present to me from me.

I actually eyed it about a year ago, however, there were always something else before it.

Can we have it all?

Then we loose all, our humanity.

En el reino

de los ciegos, el tuerto es rey.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed person is a guru, a modern interpretation of an old Spanish saying.

This sums up, to my mind, the state of the web these days, particularly YouTube. with its so-called “stars”, mediocrities most of them.

Fata morgana

Tonight, a big round disc pretending to be the moon was illuminating not only the flat lands of this city, but also a range of tall white mountains on the Eastern horizon, as if they were covered by millennial snow…

Yet, I was bothered, there are no mountains at all in these flat lands…

Then, and only then, I realized that I had been deceived twice on the few minutes I was out, breathing the cold air of the night.

Snowy scene from last winter

An image made on one of the very few days that snowed here in Hull, at least this year.

The light was quite flat, resulting in the lack of magic in the resulting photograph.
