Day 30 (May 14, 2007) - Origami Heart
My notes on a short experimental film I'm
planning on producing next month :)
Day 29 (May 13, 2007) - Microscopic City
The detail is completely lost in a smaller size, but
you can actually see the apartment building (its white
paint and black windows) in twisted perfection in
EACH of the tiny droplets. Clicking on the image
will show the details to you, full size.
I love the rain.
Day 28 (May 12, 2007) - Lavender
Tarot and incense are things I loved
as a young teenager, but haven't really
maintained. I feel like I'm reconnecting
with something important, all over
again. Quite an interesting way to
finally beat back the quarter life
crisis bruhaha.
Day 27 (May 11, 2007) - Twilight and Me
Beacause I haven't done a self-portrait in a while?
I decided to experiment a little, and try to be as unaware
of the camera as possible (which still isn't saying much).
In the first image above, I was aware of when I was
pressing the shutter, but not where exactly the lens
would focus on. On the next shots, I allowed the
camera to be on the longest timed setting possible,
and left it alone while I studied my notes on the
tarot deck I was working with.
(I'm looking up because I love staring at the clouds
that pass by my apartment window). So I think
these came out quite nicely.
Day 26 (May 10, 2007) - Death and The Empress
I originally bought this mini-tarot deck for Pammu,
but after talking with her about it, I realize she'd
perhaps like another deck design instead. All is not
lost though, as I can keep this deck and rediscover
my love for the tarot. It's been many, many years.
But it feels right somehow.
This set is a mini-tarot deck (44x80 mm in size), with
all 78 cards from the Major and Minor Arcana.
It's called the "Tarot Art Nouveau" and was made by
Lo Scarabeo, art by Antonella Castelli.
And just to show how small the cards are:
I'm hoping to procure two more (full sized) sets
(one for Pammu, one for myself). I really do hope
Kinokuniya has the ones we're interested in.
Day 23 (May 7, 2007) - Punctum Perched
Nothing particularly special about this shot, until
I noticed the mass of pigeons on the roof!
I think I'm starting to figure out the punctum Barthes
was talking about in Camera Lucida.
Taken in a speeding car as we zipped along in Johar Baru.
Day 22 (May 6, 2007) - Untitled
More stalking from my 7th floor window!
We moved into the new apartment, and we still
managed to get pool side windows. I admit I love
watching people swim, especially the kids, hee hee.
This little girl was especially adorable.
She just stood up and spread her arms wide
as if to say, "Okay daddy, ARE YOU READY?"
