4703 the year of the dog

4703 seems to be a better year than 2006

"The Dog is an ethical and idealistic sign, and the year that bears its name will also bring increased social awareness and interest in society's less powerful members. Any tendencies to take, take, take will be replaced by a widespread sentiment of generosity and selflessness."

So yeah, perhaps I should slide into the parallel universe of 4703 by changing calendars?

Henri Cartier-Bresson - Decisive moment

Visited the exposition of Henri Cartier Bresson in Foam today. Intuitively I try to shoot pics at the "decisive moment", but I will never ever come close to Bresson.

Ps. Excuse me Henri, I had to trick in photoshop at this decisive moment

Pentagon Centrum

The pied a terre of Rumsfeld in Amsterdam??

Raise your finger

Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Little by little the night turns around
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
...
One inch of love is one inch of shadow
...
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Lyrics, Pink Floyd

Hay(na)ku contest

I am very proud to announce that a hay(na)ku from me was selected as one of the 10 winners in the contest organised by Mark Young (Pelican Dreaming) and Eileen Tabios (Hay(na)ku).


"We're so pleased to post the results of our recent Hay(na)ku contest. 'Twas judged by Mark Young, co-editor (with Jean Vengua) of THE FIRST HAY(NA)KU ANTHOLOGY. The results are posted below. First, a prefatory comment by Mark -- and thank you all who participated by sending in your hay(na)ku poems!

"The Holiday Hay(na)ku competition attracted a good number of entries, & once again demonstrated the geographical dissemenation of the form -- there were submissions from Mexico, Spain, Finland, The Netherlands, New Zealand as well as many places within the U.S. -- the seemingly endless number of ways of approaching / augmenting the form -- amongst the winners are seriously kinetic hay(na)ku, abcderian hay(na)ku, sequences & the original stepped tercet -- and that it is a form that continues to attract new practitioners -- remember that one of the conditions of entry into this competition was that you weren't included in The First Hay(na)ku Anthology.

"The ten winners are, in alphabetical order: Lorna Dee Cervantes, Ray Craig, William Friend, Iris Lee, Rebeka Lembo, Rochita Loenen-Ruiz, Neon, Marko Niemi, Jordan Stempleman & Michael P. Steven. Follow this link to the winning entries.""

Eenzame fietser

The lonely cyclist

Hoe sterk is de eenzame fietser
die kromgebogen over zijn stuur
tegen de wind
zichzelf een weg baant?

Prelude in UV

Made this photo at the opening of a circus act. The light sensor of my camera was a bit confused by the ultraviolet stage lights.
