 I made this two drawings one Inktober long ago, when I still believed I could do the challenge lol

I think they look good together, there’s a good contrast between them, with the fire/water, warm/cold concept and even the compositions are kind of reversed :)

This photo is almost 13 years old. I loved this place, every day and every season had a different shape, colour, mood. This is the  #winter  #sunset,  #silent and  #relaxing. 
It has been, for a long time, my resting place.

With a little bit of work, I made a tube that held the Anscoflex at the bottom and my Pentax dSLR on top. The result was an awkward 3 foot shaft that swung from my neck to my waist... but it allowed me to take digital pictures through the viewfinder of the Anscoflex without any stray light hitting the viewfinder from the sides.
The distorted results were charming: not remarkable in content but merely simple snapshots of city scenes taken from a waist-level perspective.
Add: teh downward-pointing tube dangling from my neck started a lot of conversations with strangers as I wandered around North Beach and Chinatown.

Ok, something different for #ThrowbackThursday ...
This is my Anscoflex, a cheap $28 dual lens reflex camera made by Ansco in Binghamton, NY between the years 1954 and 1958.
The Anscoflex took 6x6cm images on 620 film, wound by a large, ratcheted knob in the side.
It had just one button - a shutter button - and no other controls. The aperture (f/11) and shutter speed (1/60th of a second) were fixed. And focal distance was 6 feet to infinity. Point, shoot, and pray.
Most notably, the image through the viewfinder (TTV) was large and beautifully distorted. I'm going to share some of those views shortly.

This is one of the first digital illustrations I made. I think it’s a nice concept and someday I’ll redraw it :)

Given that it's a Throwback Thursday, I'm wishing you goodnight with a sunset from 13 years ago. Time flies.

Good morning!

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single pick.
Yesterday I was in Modena, the homeland of Pierangelo Bertoli, a respected Italian songwriter. And this piece from 1975 came to mind - fifty years old, yet it feels as if it were written today, for how relevant its message still is. 
Some poems are timeless.
I’m sharing the link and a translation of the lyrics.
And Yet It Blows
And the water fills with foam, the sky with smoke,
the chemical leprosy destroys the life of rivers,
birds that barely fly, already sick with death,
cold interest has barred the doors against life.
An entire island has found its grave in the sea,
false progress wanted to test a bomb,
then rain that should quench the thirst of living earth
instead brings death, for it is radioactive.
And yet the wind still blows,
splashing water on the ships’ bows,
whispering songs among the leaves,
kissing the flowers, kissing them but never picking them.
One day money discovered world war,
it branded its rotten mark on beastly instinct,
it killed, it burned, it destroyed in a sorrowful litany,
and all the earth was wrapped in a black shroud.
And soon the hidden key to new secrets,
so they will cover even the planets with mud,
they will want to pollute the stars, bring war among suns,
the crimes against life they call mere mistakes.
And yet the wind still blows,
splashing water on the ships’ bows,
whispering songs among the leaves,
kissing the flowers, kissing them but never picking them,
and yet it brushes the fields,
caresses the flanks of the mountains,
tangles the hair of women,
races in flight with the birds.
And yet the wind still blows!!!
