Cutter
August 2012, Navy Museum, Lisbon
I rose to the smell of a wet desert hell
and I thought to myself, how'd I wind up in this jail?
and I thought to myself, how'd I wind up in this jail?
Till a voice called to me from deep within the sea:
“Dry your eyes, my little fisherman, your ass belongs to me.”
The sea is a cruel mistress.
~ Flogging Molly, "Cruel mistress"
Starboard

Quisiera morir cantando sobre de un barco leñero
Y cultivar en sus aguas un libro mas justiciero
Con letras de oro que diga "No hay padre para el isleño"
Llorando estoy - Ni viento pa su leñero, me voy me voy
~ Violetta Parra, "Según el favor del viento"
Wax
August 2012, Navy Museum, Lisbon
We wrapped them all in a mainsail tight
with twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
And we heaved them over and out of sight
with a yo-heave-ho and a fare-ye-well
and a sudden plunge in the sullen swell,
ten fathoms deep on the road to hell
and a sudden plunge in the sullen swell,
ten fathoms deep on the road to hell
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum
~ Abney Park, "The Derelict"

Unfamiliar with new blogger interface. Layout may be a mess for a while. Sigh.

Trickle
August 2012, LisbonAnd now I feel like an idiot.
My default film mode when using the Lumix is "B&W Dynamic", which (I assume) is B&W with some contrast, which (I guess) emulates better the old film practice of printing on "hard" paper.
During this trip, I shot almost exclusively in colour, and thought "that's alright, if I want B&W pictures, I'll process them later - how hard can it be?"
Apparently, A LOT. I just can't get it right. So what do I do from now on? Do I practice, fumbling blindly, hoping the right method will spontaneously emerge at some point? Do I look up tutorials? For what exactly? "Convert colour to B&W in a Jenny-satisfying manner"?
Ughh!
