Bordem drives curiosity.

I started reading 'Isaac Asimov's Guide to Science 1 The physical Sciences' Today:
This fascinated me, he writes:
"There comes a point where the capacity to receive, store, and interpret messages from the outside world may outrun sheer necessity. An organism may for a moment be sated with food, and there may, at the moment be no danger in sight. what does it do then?"
 He then goes on to say that a human being ... "has an intense and overwhelming curiosity." a desire to know.
Either on how to make things more useful, or how to make things look aesthetically more pleasing or a need to learn.

In other words bordem drives curiosity and from this ... invention, art or further knowledege acquisition.
Mmmm....

Blank Canvas

Recently I have been testing a new for me 'Old Camera' and to my dismay I have developed my 4th roll of film and still nothing. My little heart sank when I removed, last night, yeat another blanks roll of film.

Well, needless to say ... my chemicals have been tested and they developed the same film from another camera ... sparing you the details, last night the 'ah ha' moment registered and I think I figured out where I was going wrong.

This has inspired my post for today by Peter Callesen ... because a blank film is like a blank canvas ... waiting to take life ...

Now to see if I can actually get the light to paint the canvas?

Traversing time and space.

I was out-and-about catching sunsets on Monday (this one above) then off to the city yesterday to learn how to save the full panorama because I shot the sky rather than the ground. It is almost there.

Both were entirely different experiences but because they were different to my usual routine and took me out of my comfart zone ... these two outings really made me realise my existence again.

It is fascinating the places you can be in a week sometimes: from a beach to an inner city.

Multiple countries, perhaps? ... Those of you who travel!

Some are on earth today ... and in space tomorrow.  A very lucky few but they exist.

So take a moment and stop to remember where you have been this week and the great little or great places you have explored, unknowingly, along your way.

Grass: 'Simple pleasures! I think?

I visited 'Beth Chatto' gardens this weekend and I stood for a long time staring at this grass. It looked so soft and the texture captivated me.

Simple pleasueres! I think?

Hero

I have realised that I am not alone in my cage or my worldly paths and journeys and that there are many others around ready to help rescue me or keep me company on my lifes journey ...

Free but caged:

I constantly feel a strong trapped caged feeling, the strange thing is that my cage has many doors and many keys. I know that I am free because I have all the right keys to these many doors (each one leading away with a different path from each of my cage's doors) but I just can't seem to find a key  to fit any door.  I wouldn't care which door I opened or which path I took. All I want is to be free.
Maybe the answer is to know which path I want to choose and look for the key for that door instead of randomly trying them ... the problem then arises: if I actually find the right key then I will loose the safety of my cage and I have to venture out on a new unknown path, open and exposed and unsure of where I will be going. Or, I might even be lead back to my cage having to find a key to yet another path. I seem to think that I am the only one who only sees the darkness beyond and I just can't seem to find the magic outside and if I do I only venture so far before returning to my cages safety, because that magic runs out.
In essence I am my own keeper.

Free but caged:

Triangles
