If you were awake late enough early this morning (hmmm) you would have seen this. The total lunar eclipse of August 28, 2007. The moon turns red because of refracting light wavelengths... spectrum... atmosphere... ask Mr. Eclipse, I'm no expert.
This event reminded of an early painting I did. A still life of an old Minolta 35mm film camera, film, canister, lens, and a travel watch, under the light of the photographer's darkroom. All have been eclipse by the digital revolution. The darkrooms are gone, no more films to fool with, and who has time anymore to "watch" time go by the glacial speeds of a clock hand. This is a long overdue farewell to the old days of analog technology.
I was at the thrift store today looking for a tripod for my digital camera. Thank God they haven't changed how they fit onto cameras with that little screw-hole on the bottom. I found a nice one for $5 and then took a picture of a painting of a camera. Enjoy.
