Tom,

The voltage clamp should actually go on the ankles. But what's really going on. Is this picture really about the picture or more about the observers and their potential for weird opinions?

Life after Death.

Some of the thoughts that are in my mind. Let me share them with you. Neither right nor wrong. Just my thoughts, maybe where they should truly belong.

When You and I behind the Veil are past,
Oh, but the long, long while the World shall last,
Which of our Coming and Departure heeds
As the Sea's self should heed a pebble-cast.

There then is the unknown. All trying to interpret it in their own way.
But no one knows for sure. And one sure way to find out.

Strange, is it not? that of the myriads who
Before us pass'd the door of Darkness through,
Not one returns to tell us of the Road,
Which to discover we must travel too.

My feelings and wishes and what I expect maybe different than many:

A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,
A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread--and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness--
Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!

A small wish, which I know. Is not that big a chore. For Him that could easily grant much much more.

life from death: part deuxover

This is my very first attempt to nail all the technical details on an image that I cared about. I had captured this scene weeks earlier but wasn't 100% satisfied with the sharpness.

Taken with a tripod, March, 1991, Fuji Velvia. I was in my early twenties when I titled it "Life from Death":

I like this John Wolf :)

The herbs contribute greatly to the success of the image.

Death has also a price to be paid for.

Square crop with round edges :) Nice
