UNA FOTO / UN DIA: luz al final del tunel

photo caption: Calle Ponce de Leon, Santurce district, San Juan, PR


On page 219 in his epic final work 2666, Roberto Bolano's character Amalfitano is walking with Marco Antonio through a building, late at night.

... and set off toward the rectangle of light at the end of the hallway, which reminded Marco Antonio of the stories of people who'd been in comas or declared clinically dead and who claimed to have seen a dark tunnel with a white or dazzling brightness at the end, and sometimes these people even testifed to the presence of loved ones who had passed away, who took their hands or soothed them or urged them to turn back because the hour or micro-fraction of second in which the change took effect had not yet arrived.

"What do you think, Professor? Do people make this up, or is it real? Is it all just a dream, or is it within the realm of possibility?"

"I don't know," said Amalfitano curtly...

"Well," said Marco Antonio Guerra, "if you want to know what I think, I don't believe it. People see what they want to see and what they want to see never has anything to do with the truth."

UNA FOTO / UN DIA: That would be the bush cricket

The animal kingdom has gained a new record holder after scientists declared a species of cricket to possess the largest known testes of any creature in relation to its body mass.

"These really are quite phenomenal. They take up nearly the whole of the bush cricket's abdomen. It just shows how competitive reproduction is for some species." said Dr Karim Vahed, a behavioural ecologist at Derby, who led the study.

Delicate measurements of the tuberous bush cricket, Tuberculos gigantis, showed that its testes accounted for 14% of the insect's body weight. If the same proportion were applied to a human, his testicles would weigh the equivalent of six bags of sugar each.

The tuberous bush cricket wrests the record for largest testes in relation
to body weight from a tiny species of fruit fly, Drosophila bifurca, whose testes account for 10.6% of its bodyweight.

UNA FOTO / UN DIA: We been here before!

photo caption: Calle Ponce de Leon, Santurce, PR


"I'm having deja vu," Lillian whispers in my right ear, the good one. I'm a little deaf in the other, so she always sits on my right. Otherwise we'd be a disturbance in the movies. We're a couple who like to talk about movies, at least the good moments - or sometimes, the bad.

"What do you mean?" I ask her.

"You know what I mean, deja vu." she says, "I've seen this film before."

S pozdravem,

Steve

Jitka enjoyed your photos. When he saw your recent diptych  "Islands" (Albany & PR), exclaimed: "Oh my God that I have.".

photo caption: still life, Santa Olaya, PR

Jan:


I bought a camera and I look at it and I ask it how we can make art and the camera says "I don't know" so the camera is on the table and I am in limbo.

If I buy another camera I can take a photo of the camera and send it to you, no - no more cameras, I will have to think of something else.

Are you happy on your Island? we are both are on Islands-- Manhattan and PR.


that's life,

the fred
