Shadows on the wall

If worm holes existed, shadows on the wall would be them. This comes
from the realization that shadows on the wall on a bright, breezy
summer day are potent stimuli for the mind which in turn sends a
momentary, paralyzing current through the body. They evoke so much of
the past, not so much in terms of actual memories, but in a sensation
of the past. It is a wonderful trick of the mind, more so considering
that the silently swaying shadows don't last very long, can be gently
wiped away by a determined passing cloud. Everything, in one fleeting
moment.

Tonight's mundanity

Breakfast for dinner, cause I was craving them.  I had a serving of two pancakes.  Taken with a Polaroid SLR-680.  The camera has a close-focus distance of about a foot, and I was probably standing a bit too close to the subject.

Game

First test post for posterous. I like what I see so far. There seem to be smart people behind it, and well-funded, too. OAuth a big plus—I probably would have been very hesitant without it.

The photos are Polaroids, taken with an SLR-680. I have about a dozen cameras of different shapes and sizes, and all but one take film, also of different sizes. It's not that I loathe digital. In fact I'm quite impressed with my ultra-compact Lumix—tiny but packed with capability. It is so tiny that it often happens that it slips through my hands when I'm using it. And digital certainly excels at some things, immediacy of results for example. I once had a digital SLR, too, and I don't anymore. I like film. Because when I look at the resulting images, they're just more aesthetically pleasing, and have more depth and expression, which I do not mean to be technical terms. After all, aesthetics has more to do with how well I see rather than how well my camera sees.
