8 September 2005

There are two new parts this week: Turtle's Watch and water photos. Both include photographs from the NW Florida panhandle, in Seagrove Beach.

The photo haiku, Turtle's Watch, formed in my mind as I prowled the shore during the week following hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. On the previous Friday, that storm was predicted to come ashore about where the ma turtle laid her eggs in the top photo. However, it hit about 270 miles west of there, wreaking great devastation on New Orleans, Louisiana and a surrounding area of 90 square miles. During this week I was captivated by the great surge of journalism and media communications of the ongoing catastrophe. There was even a "helicopter journalist", reporting in motorized hover mode. A European journalist said this event marks the end of the American Empire, expected to decline. The turtle story came as a photo haiku. Like photo journalism, but pared down to a small poem.

The water photos explore the interface between the Gulf of Mexico and coastal dune lakes.

Last week, September 1, there was a preview for a color weather program, the Color EIE Generator. I call it a color healing. It selects colors for nodes and casts runes. Next week, it'll be in much better shape, but will take longer to fully develop.
