The Helsinki Bus Station Theory: Finding Your Own Vision in Photography
I don’t care if Monday’s blue
Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don’t care about you
It’s Friday i’m in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
thursday doesn’t even start
It’s Friday I’m in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate…
I don’t care if Monday’s black
Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It’s Friday I’m in love
Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It’s Friday i’m in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate…
Dressed up to the eyes
It’s a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It’s such a gorgeous sight
To see you in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It’s Friday
I’m in love
I love Les Murray’s poetry generally, but this is one of my favourites. Re-read it following “Short Cut to Unconcern”
(more…)
I got into photography as an archival pursuit, basically a way to record things, summer holidays, horse trekking and scuba diving or my first car.
Initially I used my camera/s on automatically, pointing and shooting and hoping the camera got what I expected.
As with most photographers, the first thing I worked on was composition, thinking about how a photo was framed.
Eventually I started digging into the rest of the camera settings and admit to finding the whole relationship between “film speed’, aperture, and shutter speed, essentially confusing.
Once you do get your head around it however you will have your own ways of describing this relationship.
Tthis is a great article, written in plain english, and with a simple yet specific set of images explaining each of the parameters.
If you are having trouble getting your head around this combination, have a read, and if you want an aide-mémoire, print out the circle image and stick it in your camera bag.
