Late Night Writings #1

One of the most photogenic persons I know. But like she says, "when you feel good on the inside you look good on the outside" (basically)

Self love over any other love🙌

Moar stuff!

It was a Depth of Field exercise… even though I dont think I adjusted the aperture to increase or deacrease that DOF “box” i.e. move from a shallow to a deep DOF…. No wait… I remember sir asking us to focus on something near, middle and far. 

Anyways, as you see here, sometimes you have to get low to get the shot. I’m sure people have seen me around - all sprawled out on the floor gettin dem shots. lol.

truth about him from the eyes of a fern

i saw him painting yellow in the rain.  

weathered with moss and pale patches that looked like a gutter with massive, dried toothpaste stains - the wall of the dull, intrusive cellphone tower caught my interest, one day.

first, i noticed the great portion of soothing blue that began to mask the ugliness, then i was quickly enchanted by the yellow—the colour of that good, beloved kind of powdered curry. i was  D   R   A   W   N. through the back glass, i managed to see only an afro—glorious in the rain. the taxi ripped me away from the scene—curious, inspired, intrigued.

but i found out. thanks, Dani :) it was KRISTON BANFIELD.

for all his life, and nineteen of mine, Kriston Banfield and i were “neighbours”. he is now 20 and laughed when i divulged my occasional “give one” or “take one” formula for sharing my age. but i stated it honestly. it was not important for me to cheat youth or maturity in that instance.

we walked for a bit in the rain while i tried to regulate my excitement that he was a new source of inspiration for me, and i hope, the community.

his vibrant, enlightened beings will share spaces along the lengthy one-way-in-one-way-out road in my “Past de Lighthouse” community. i allow myself to be carried away with my own sentimentality and be persuaded that the fantastic, emulsified characters will move people to appreciate this public form of expression. perhaps it will encourage them to relay their own positive messages, activating a new sense of pride in the valley.  

Banfield’s animated use of colour and his kinetic lines constitute energy, movement and change. they communicate and evoke so many thoughts and possibilities, to me.

i am in full support of what he is doing and am grateful that he is taking time and showing interest in doing it here, in “de bush”—in Santa Cruz. FULL RESPECT TO THIS POSITIVE YOUTH. he real kewl too. check out his blog: http://kbanfield.tumblr.com/

Not sure what this bug is called. I know (or at least I think I do) that it is on the leaf of a "Wonder of the World" plant.  I caught a shot of 'im yesterday morning. It's great to see what the little ones in nature are up to.

Late night writings #2

How do I begin this? I realised I just did. Thought is inevitably what we are all bound by. I mean, think about it. 

We all have the opportunity to think, no matter how small the window. Thus, no action can be formed without actually thinking. So next time you think before you act, think before AND after you think before you act. Just something for us to all think about. 

Do not allow yourself to run away from the power of your mind... But more on that next time.
