Today, I started a new blog that is linked both to my website and Google+ account. I'm phasing out the WorldPress base blog and phasing in this one, as I have been dealing with 20+ spams a day with WorldPress.
In this particular post, I combined my photography with poetry. The image is from Patagonia, Argentina made with Mamiya 7 and 43mm lens, 25 red filter on Ilford PanF+ 50 film with Ilfotech DD-X. It was September and still winter in that part of the country. It took a while not to expect to see the sun in the south. The original darkroom print of 16"x20" shows 10s of wild horses in the plains of this immense space.
I enjoy 13th century mystic poet Rumi's work. In the '90s, I had slideshows accompanied with music and/or poetry at "The Night of Rumi" gatherings in the San Francisco Bay Area. In my opinion, Mevlana's work, originally written in Persian, is best interpreted by Coleman Barks who is a poet himself.
Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi lived in central Anatolia, and created timeless work in the midst of attacks of Crusaders from the west and Mongols from the east. It is remarkable to have the focus and the conviction to be able to create huge volumes of work in such a chaotic and violent era.
