Basking in the Sun

One of my favourite images.

This was taken several years ago on my trip to Antarctica. Spent 2 weeks roaming this pristine environment visiting old whaling stations, icebergs, the midnight sun.

Here you see a group of elephant seals basking in the "warm" January summer sun (it was 5 degrees Celsius!).

There is no other place on earth like this.

This is the parliament (or 'Riksdag' which is similar in name to the German equivalent) and is basically perpendicular to the palace. At the far left is the Riddarholmskyrkan that I posted a photo of a while back and to the right the spire of Stockholm city hall is visible.

On this photo it looks like the parliament building is very close to the statue in front but the distance is probably 100m if not more. The bridge/road that I shot the side view of the palace from runs across the parliament island (I stood on the bridge to the right below) and there is also a park between the statue and the building. The statue stands in front of the entrance to the Medieval Museum.

Very impressive, John.  I saw colonies of these elephant seals in Fireland--my memory adds the smell and the sound....

Elegant colors, Philipus. How much did you allow for the reciprocity ?

Nice photos, Gary. The expired Fuji suits the hopefully soon expired virus nicely....

Denken Sie an den Tod as they say in some circles I'm sometimes in. Was this shot wide open? Good focusing in that case.

Well, as to the first part of the sentence: life makes no sense without death. But to be honest: I don't think often of death. Death will think of me if the time has come.   I think its more our duty to enjoy the time we are given than to spent it on thoughts that will not alter so much. 

NLX and focusing: I'm aware of the discussion about the extremely narrow dof of the NLX. But actually I don't have a problem at all with it--its no more capricious than say the SLX 50.  The only lens I found really difficult and annoying to an extent I didn't use it for years was  the Apo-Summicron 90 with its focus shift...I now have it tuned to a distance of about 1,5 m--my typical portrait distance with that lens.

With this photo I say goodbye to the columbines in my garden--the blossom is over. Now  they get  four weeks to produce seeds before I start the mowing machine...

and here the irony kicks in... quality control !!  You see me rolling on the floor.  

Boris Vian  seems  to be en vogue no more , but these instruments seem to be the chronometers of our leaders. Not a so far a jump to the real Bob:  Don't follow leaders, watch your pawking metows  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGxjIBEZvx0 maybe  these meters are showing the time left before the tow truck arrives

I remember Vian's notion at the curtain of The Empire Builders when Father at the close of his thirteen-page monologue says, "I've always been alone. . . I can't distinguish anything through the dust of the past . . . it covers people like dust-sheets . . . Furniture . . . They were all furniture . . . just furniture. I didn't know . . . Forgive me . . . I didn't know.

This was 1965, but Vian's furniture metaphor was "borrowed" by Heston's character in Soylent Green, eight years later. Hollywood has never been above recasting ideas.

Yes, quality control--Ha! 

Love the replay of Bob Dylan's shtick with the flash cards, which was used again by Hollis Frampton, as I recall, in his avant-garde film titled (nostalgia) filming flash cards of the script being filmed. He also "borrowed" from Antonioni and Blow-Up with the mystery of an event we see but don't see--which speaks to Antonioni's influence even on the underground avant-garde.

And, now this! This still life is so motivating, so much to admire here. It sends me to one of my favorite books, Norbert Schneider's The Art of the Still Life and his citation that Panofsky spoke of still life paintings that "disguised symbolism . . . a hidden religious structure beneath the 'cloak' of appearances" (17). 

Is that a pomegranite next to the skull?

Now, I want to do still lifes. You're pushing me. Love the scale and dimensional perspective.

In irregular intervals I am shooting IR with a Leica. Here is an image from this spring.
