William Blake

From “Auguries of Innocence”

To see the world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in a hour.

I’m not crazy about the balance of the poem but the first bit is wonderful.

Google Voice Transcription

Voice messages to my google voice number are transcribed and emailed. I got this one today…

“Hey Morlock. And I sell some of the Jovi, listen. I just want to know if what you want to do would be. Would the parole. Bob from that we had on the Philistine before. You want us to wife, you’ll. If you, we just chuck it Give me a call back and let me know, okay. I’m gonna be tied up in a meeting so you can leave me a message or send me an email. Alright bud. Take care. Hope your day. ”

So glad we have that straightened out!

Scanning old family photos.

I get a lot of pleasure from scanning old family photos and making them available to many people. It is like liberating them from the box.

It is frustrating that we no longer know who many of them are. Here are some faces that might stay among the unknown.

Timelapse Photography

I’m learning how to do time lase movies using my DSLR. Here is an example.

Aerial Photos over Jenny Jump Farm

Using a very inexpensive radio controlled plane and a $34 video camera (shaped like a car’s remote) I have shot some aerial video.  These are screen captures from video taken at my friend’s house near Belvidere NJ.

Light Painting 1st Try

Below are some photos I made with laser and light painting.  The process is simple, camera on tripod,  set to long exposure, shut the lights off, hit the shutter release, and paint  your subject with a flashlight.   I promised Bob I would try some.  Here is the first session.

1997 Rogers Family Audio

I found two cassette tapes from a trip to TN in 1997.  Apparently Jean, Becky, Pop Rogers, and Uncle Billy drove around to various Roger’s family homesteads.  My boys Adam and Aaron were along.
