SKY WATCH FRIDAY - SORTING OUT THE MYSTERY OF New York's SUN RISE APPEARANCE ON FEBRUARY 29 (THE LEAP YEAR OF 2012)....




At 7 am the sun rises above the first horizontal split of cloud formation, its glow above the split, like the sun itself, seems to give the impression of a double sunrise - was this a leap year gift to us all, one wonders!

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS - A WOOLFIAN REVELATION DAWNS....AS A WORK IN PROGRESS EVOLVED, IT WAS REVISED...


So many thoughts on the making of a slideshow as I shot these moments from dawn through sunrise!


 
To quote Woolf:   " ... that behind the cotton wool is hidden a pattern;  that we - I mean all human beings - are connected with this; that the whole world is a work of art; that we are parts of the work of art.  Hamlet or a Beethoven quartet is the truth about this vast mass that we call the world.  But there is no Shakespeare, there is no Beethoven;  certainly and emphatically there is no God;  we are the words;  we are the music; we are the thing itself" From "A SKETCH OF THE PAST" by Virginia Woolf


So, if you have got about 4 minutes to play the revised slideshow below, here are some reflections for the weekend: Woolfians might like this!

I once wanted a Website but I found blogging instead! My longtime friend in Australia, Rinkly Rimes was/is blogging a poem a day, and I was inspired by the notion that one could, using new tools, create something visually and be published instantly! My first blog ended because of a scam attack. However, I was hooked. (You can still see it at http://mgosden.blogspot.com for blogs through September 2009). I had started my working life as a reporter in the UK, became an artist-printmaker at the Corcoran School of Art, Washington DC in the 60s and got an education at Hofstra University, Long Island in the 70s My new tools, include an Imac and a digital camera. My oldest tools, a printing press and an etching plate. Sometimes I write. I feel fortunate to have lived long enough to have grown into this wonderful age of technology. What I have learned in the past was all an unrealized preparation for creatively using the miracle inventions of the Apple computer and internet! My family includes a son, Harry, and Daughter, Sarah, with young families of their own. John Gosden, himself a computer pioneer in the 1950s, died in 2003.
