But our Government was very understanding about the situation, funding national prevention campaigns at the very beginning. I was also bitten by part of the community and some doctors. I had to quit for my own sanity when the love of my life was murdered (aids related) and my "little brother" died of aids the following day. I experienced what most people go through in their eighties: the loss of most of my friends and companions.Andréhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03908137606277266953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203136957387562981.post-49969365702072062932011-11-30T02:43:34.490-07:002011-11-30T02:43:34.490-07:00Quite a sad, very sad and very true conclusion.

It was forbidden to Orpheus to look at his lover unless he killed her. I think of a connection with the role of the eyes in painting, drawing and....photographying...<br /><br />3.A very interesting myth about that and chiefly photography : "Medusa". A French writer, Jean Clair, has written a book about that ; the first name of the device which opens and shut light on the lense in camera, was "Guillotine" ; the same has the machine to cut the head of the King and noble people during the french revolution. This machine has been used in France, until 1981to cut the head of people condemned to death. This judgement has been aboslished in 1981. <br /><br />Best thoughts<br /><br />French anonymous<br /><br />PS : and the picture of your post is about Narcissus.....(no more comment)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203136957387562981.post-54146034952815199452011-11-16T00:11:06.672-07:002011-11-16T00:11:06.672-07:00Sure, I think we can but agree with you.

The clip scene as a complete standard scene : a kind of industrial products ; the name of Warhol : porn-clips as "Campbel soups box" all the same, all repeated, without any taste. <br /><br />- A book of french writer Guy Debord : "Société du spectacle".Eveything become a show we are not involved in : politics, sex.... It was written just at the beginning of the large scale development of TV in France. Now so numerous channels from all parts of the world, all standardized. I don't speak about the net ( which allows us to send messages as bottle to sea). A permanent show changing all seconds, and less than seconds...Is that a way of living, of being ? of feeling ? of thinkink ? of being a person ? A show pemanently changing as a financial market....<br /><br />World as it goes...<br /><br />Zen exercise : stay unmoving ; concentrate on breath ; and if raining, look and look at the drops until "to be the drops" ; if there is light, concentrate on change of shadow of an object as the light changes, and the sun moves.<br /><br />Don't forget to breath....<br /><br />Best thoughts.<br /><br />French anonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203136957387562981.post-39352224096370097932011-11-14T04:06:55.125-07:002011-11-14T04:06:55.125-07:00Why St John Baptist ?

You speak of light, but in this photo, darkness is as important as light ; you have your sense of this picture ; who don't know your story may think about an ex-sailor dreaming about the sea, or a prisonner dreaming about freedom, or (to be in touch with Renaissance's subject) some future Saint, either put in jail before death ( St John Baptist..), either inflicting himself pain in order to find the light of faith...<br /><br />- the matter of how lighting makes the picture be, is related, from my own point of view, to another : how your picture gives light to the inner scene of a person who looks at it ? What inner pictures are revealed or reminded ?<br /><br />Anyway, thank you. A very rich post. The former was also very beautiful : how light draws the figure of a body ? how lighting reveals the skin as a caress...<br /><br />French anonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203136957387562981.post-6495357583675998452011-11-09T01:18:44.890-07:002011-11-09T01:18:44.890-07:00About Mizer : Note that that was a family business...About Mizer : Note that that was a family business (help of his brother) and even if not completely cool, the help and support of his mother!!!<br /><br />I am suprise that you did'nt know this adventure : the first magazines of the Guild I saw in my life ,that was at the end of the 50ths , in a street of Casablanca ( Morocco); old issues, sold on the ground, just in front of a movie house ( now, destroyed) the name of which was....Appolo ; I was a litle boy, and not necessary to underline how I was impressed, and just dare to glance at theese pale used covers ; to open the magazines... no question!!!<br /><br />At that time there were US military Bases in Morroco.
