One of the eight decent (read salvageable) photos from my first film attempt. I was trying to learn to manual focus, adjust aperture etc. and next time might try the whole roll on autofocus to see how that works out.

One week til camping!

Monday

Problem:

No one makes a desk tall
enough for her short legs
and long back.

Perhaps they do make them,
that wouldn't be hard to believe.

But what good is it if no one
uses such a desk?

In what classroom, office or
library can she find and use
such a thing?

Instead she'll sit hunchbacked,
over her work desk or
slouched down in her chair--
lower back concave,

trying to
concentrate.

Thinking 'bout

Routine v. Ritual

At the ROM

Watched the Free Palestine protest.
I stood and watched from atop my bicycle
and was surprised by the small and shrill female voice coming
through the amplifier.

There were flags waving and a rallying cry
but also this huge calm,
at least I felt it.

The loud voices caught something inside me.
I felt a sway and wondered what tragedies went
unnoticed today.
