Haiga 372


Haiku by myself. I have seen long-exposed photos of stars before, but this one is different, which intrigued me. I cannot figure out what the burning thing in the lift bottom corner. Still, it is interesting, though. Anyway, this photo remained me of a painting by a great painter, van Gogh.

good night Vincent,
We continue looking at the stars
but we haven't your vantage point

I guess Vincent did paintings to calm down his inner turmoil.

Not van Gogh, but Monet, and being inspired seeing haystacks in Italy, France and England just like the ones in his many paintings.

van Gogh is still my favourite artist though.

Alan san, thx for the link to pinhole site. I did not know this thing was so big (domestic as well as international organization are formed to promote it).

I think you will be fascinated by pinhole photography both in Japan and in Britain.

Philip Gross just won the Wales Book of the Year for his poetry plus pinhole photography.

That spinning flame is made with steel wool. It will actually take a flame when small current is applied to it. So people will attach the wool to a chain, touch a 9-volt battery to it and swing it around making the affect you see in this shot.

Eric san: Thanks for the technical info. Very interesting. Might try it myself.
