Reckoning

What is this blog about? In a nutshell, it's about black and white darkroom photomontage. Every few weeks, a new image with a few words about it, kinda poetic, philsophical.
For more details - check out the archive, the first post, April 26, 2015.

One day, you will arrive at your reckoning, the end of your life. It will come to us all.
As Bob Dylan has written: 'He who is not busy being born is busy dying'.

A great omnipotent eye is judging the figure on the rock, the hour glass runs out, and turns into flashes of light, and nothing-ness, a hawk glides through the sky effortlessly, it has eyes way sharper than many creatures, definitely sharper than our eyes, by far.
If it is watching the figure (is that you?) what does it think?

When you get to your end, what will you think of your time spent on planet earth?
If you start trying to answer that question now, and changing your life for the better, perhaps as you turn into flashes of light and nothingness, you will do it with a smile on your face.

The Bucket

'Only an empty bucket can be refilled'
That's what this one is about.

Think about it.
And then put that thought into action, empty yourself, and get ready...
