Almost done with Belize. Again, I have quite a bit more, but I need to move on. Now I need to do some more scanning.

Camera: Holga 120N using Rollei Retro 100 B&W film, developed in Rodinal 1:50

News: I am showing photos the month of February at Aurora Coffee in Virginia Highlands in Atlanta. The show is called 'Belize through a plastic lens'. Here's a view of the card: front, back.

The 2008 Photoblog Awards are underway.

Song of the day: "Olsen Olsen" by Sigur Ros

Poem of the day:
"THROUGH storms you reach them and from storms are free.
Afar descried, the foremost drear in hue,
But, nearer, green; and, on the marge, the sea
Makes thunder low and mist of rainbowed dew.

But, inland,—where the sleep that folds the hills
A dreamier sleep, the trance of God, instils,—
On uplands hazed, in wandering airs aswoon,
Slow-swaying palms salute love’s cypress tree
Adown in vale where pebbly runlets croon
A song to lull all sorrow and all glee.

Sweet-fern and moss in many a glade are here,
Where, strown in flocks, what cheek-flushed myriads lie
Dimpling in dream, unconscious slumberers mere,
While billows endless round the beaches die."
- Herman Melville, "The Enviable Isles"
