Glad that I got to share seeing the northern lights for the first time with my favorite human @thepuckhag.bsky.social

A deep magenta glow in the sky
Northern lights showing deep magenta over some suburban houses
Silhouettes of treetops against a night sky full of a purple northern lights display

"The Dance of the Dead 2: Three Dancing Skeletons" Ernst Barlach, lithograph 1926

Lithograph in black ink on cream colored paper. Three vigorously sketched skeletons dance around a monument in a graveyard, seemingly very happy to have shuffled off their mortal coils.

"Bat" Sue Fuller, engraving with soft ground etching, 1946

Stylized image of a bat. Rendered in black with white lines and a dark red background, it swoops through the night air, swirling lines curving behind it showing its flight.

Here are some more pictures from the old film that I shot in the early 2000s. I recently had them developed and I'm delighted with the results that can be achieved with just a couple decades of neglect. Happy halloween season, all.

Recently I rediscovered some old film that I shot with a cheap 110 camera in the early 2000s, and so I had it developed. Sharing these zombies in the spirit of the season.

Yehuda Amichai's poem haunts me.

The diameter of the bomb was thirty centimeters
and the diameter of its effective range about seven meters,
with four dead and eleven wounded.
And around these, in a larger circle
of pain and time, two hospitals are scattered
and one graveyard. But the young woman
who was buried in the city she came from,
at a distance of more than a hundred kilometers,
enlarges the circle considerably,
and the solitary man mourning her death
at the distant shores of a country far across the sea
includes the entire world in the circle.
And I won’t even mention the crying of orphans
that reaches up to the throne of God and
beyond, making a circle with no end and no God.

There’s a guy who has been walking into Chimney Rock and Swannanoa and talking to locals and the people working to help them out. Just the difficulty he has getting there illustrates why things are moving slow. m.youtube.com/watch?v=MYdC...
