The liquid crystal surrounds me,
I am bathed in its warm comforting glow,
My thoughts come to life,
Speeding through my fingers,
Systems interlocked,
Synapses give way to switches,
Switches give way to silicon,
I am truly alive,
The code and I are one,
I can see it breathe,
live,
flow,
It is Synergy,
Flesh and machine interconnected,
A perfect pairing,
I am programmer,
Code is life…
So one of my friends posted an article about a guy who took one Polaroid a day for 18 years. It occurs to me that this is an awesome way to document your life.
Being a tech guy, I have the resources to make this hap.pen and have decided to follow in this photographer/film maker’s footsteps. So, here we go. I will rely on my blog here at http://www.karlockhart.com along with my photo album at http://foto.karlockhart.com. the underlying technologies being WordPress and Gallery 2. I saw the need to have a camera I can take with me, something more portable than my D60, and as a result I have decided on the Olympus X-560WP. This camera is described, by Olympus, as waterproof and sporty going on to describe it as being able to ‘survive whatever you can dish out.’ On paper it is the perfect camera for the job, and $70 bucks off retail via http://www.dealnews.com doesn’t hurt either.
I see this experimental homage as a great way to document life and as a great way to practice my photography. My intention is to snap compelling shots that represent the highlight of my day, or something I just really want to share. I have decided there will be no captions and no descriptive photo names, so that I do not color the interpretation of the pictures. I plan to start this project today, so photo quality will vary as cameras change.
