Category: History, Ancient World 10 comments 13 Nov 2005 @ 22:50 by swanny : OpportunismSunday so somehow this new "world order" got off to a wrong or bad start with Saddam invading Kuwait...... in 1987 -89 So "opportunism" is to blame... sir 14 Nov 2005 @ 08:28 by swanny : yo... 2005 11 14 01:14 Monday November Canada yo... Well I suppose this conflict or confusion was rather inevitable... I mean as history and herstory recalls you do get your gegis cons and hitlers and saddams types appearing on the scene from time to time doing there "crazy" thing and setting and pushing the buttons with the latest toys at their disposal. What is or was not inevitable or predicted or even perhaps dreamed about was the advent of the internet. The internet is somewhat unprecidented except for a priest by the name of Pierre Chardin whose "nooshpere" of the 1900's presages it somewhat, as well as Sir Sanford Flemmings "global standard time zones" of the 1870's. Yet it was a rather odd occurence. It was'nt a sort of global domination prescience or well I suppose no ones really sure what it is or how its going to play out. I suppose it has it good and bad points and is in a way kind of like an artists blank canvas. As I see it what we have here is a kind of beginnings of a change or transformation of matter in a way to a kind of solid memory. We are as it were, converting earth soil into memory as such. Transforming the matter of earth into the matter of order. Yet isn't the earth already in order. Is there not a "natural order" to the world and isn't that good enough or do or why do we have to advance. Why do we have to change what was into what now is. Why are we converting the soil into memory blocks and where does "water" fit in here. I suppose the info flows like water in a way. But do we need it more than we need water. Can not both coexist in harmony? Well any way just some morning ramblings... and remembering of the world wars of old... scary stuff ... worlds at war.... or is it just nations... for the earth was not and is not at war with itself. oh well sir 14 Nov 2005 @ 09:01 by swanny : Star trek I mean ... they didn't have the "internet" on "STARTREK" and gosh that, Startrek, was like the Gosh Geez "Bible" of the 70's and the "Woodstock" generation.... so how do you explain that... That's quite a discrepency, how could Gene Rodenberry have missed that? sir 14 Nov 2005 @ 09:12 by swanny : tibbles Well then again that's probably not fair Gene was probably well yes Gene was somewhat preoccupied one could say. He had a lot on his plate. Did you know Startrek in it's sort of "inoccuous" way was addressing many of the pressing social and global issues of the time. Issues like homosexuality and race and color and racism and inequity and prejudice and gosh the list goes on and on..... and I personally think Startrek was in a way at the front lines of the Cold war.... I mean no .... you wouldn't think it to watch it.... such was its innocence but there it was planting and quietly laying the "seeds" for global brotherhood and sisterhood while the "cool" people were out doing their cool drug and money thing... pure genius Gene.... and well done.... mine you the "tribbles" well I suppose everyone has an off season or a sense of humor. hee hee And Captain Kirk .... an odd "christ figure" to be sure... sir 14 Nov 2005 @ 09:39 by swanny : The Future I suppose what you have in Captain Kirk is the dawn or the depictation of the "Cowboy Chirst" . A progression of human evolution into though "cowboy politics or diplomacy". The reckless bravado against the machine or emerging machine. The reliance not on the apparent mask of charm or cuteness or well.... or even probability so that counts Mr Spock out what was the fascination with Captain Jame T. Kirk.... I suppose it was the sheer improbabilty..... It was not done yet it was done.... The genius lay in allowing the underdog to consistently win against the apparent odds. What is that but the laying down of a kind of faith against the odds. So here you this Cowboy Christ figure laying or parading a faith against the odds senario.... and doing it consistently for the duration of its run.... yet what is the result of that.... the result of faith without works or faith and .... was there works?.... The show professed no common or current faith or "religiousity" yet it did have a "cult" appeal on the basis of what.... well yes it worshipped the "FUTURE".... that was the basis of its faith.... the "hope" that we would get out of the brinkmanship of the "cold war" and even aspire to a real future or reality. To aspire to this. This now. This Truth. This Reality. Well thankyou then Gene.... for giving a "vision" however incomplete of the future past the cold war. I digress.... sir 14 Nov 2005 @ 09:48 by swanny : The Faith Ah ha.... Kirk then or his character was a man or a depictation of a man of the faith or the "cloth".... what faith what cloth..... that is not clear.... the faith in the future? not sure... sir 14 Nov 2005 @ 10:01 by swanny : ???? Yes it was all "pretense" true... or was it... or was it perhaps modern adaptations or interpretations of an "old story"... hence my reference to it being the bible of the 70's.... were these possibly "retellings" of an old story ie: the old or new testament via a new medium or via the quise of the future... strange odd.... bizarre.... interesting.... fascinating sir 29 Jan 2015 @ 08:07 by Anvar @121.199.8.19 : bRnEJXSIrDsjBdQKFL , this shot doesn't do much for me. What strikes me in John's shot is a reozcinable parttern and some nice detail. I find that's where this photo loses me. I'd prefer a little more crispness to the edges of the differing colour layers. ALL this being said, I totally here you when it comes to I'll try this out, see what happens, post it, and hear what folks have to say . There's something great about experimenting and getting feedback on the product and process! Great work!! 29 Jan 2015 @ 18:51 by Lucas @153.120.55.138 : NCvUahGzCMDN Paul: I think the brightness comes from the lgtneh of the exposure. My hallway was lit from ceiling spot lights and the bright stripe through the middle of the image is a table lamp that was on. I simply rotated on the spot holding the camera as steady as I could. The original image came out very yellow and orange from the tungsten lights and I changed the colour balance in post. 30 Jan 2015 @ 07:04 by Tiffany @111.12.128.135 : PrCJBXFGAX This is way better than a brick & mortar esltntishmeba.
