| writing around someone I write every day. Sometimes fiction, more often commentary on political events and personalities, art and music, or literature. It's hard to nail me down to one thing, so this blog is where I put items that interest me that are connected, in general, with the Arts. |

Photo opsTime is money, they say, but time is also motion and motion is art -- now.
Eadweard Muybridge, a photogorapher who did motion studies in the 1870s that led to development of motion pictures and influenced many painters, came to my attention in a review in the Times of the new book Einstein's Clocks, Poincare's Maps August 17, 2003
Coming aboutI read about a sailing lesson on Diane Castaldi's blog.
She describes learning the lingo and ettiquette, such as asking passengers Ready to come about? before turning. In a way that seems superficial, to learn the terminology before learning what to do and how to do it. But if you can't talk about it -- why, then you can't talk about it. So it does make sense to learn at least some of the specialized language first. |
