About
dead leaf,living moth ,insert, delete ,end , When I was taking this posturei was thinking about : Oh my God, this is how life of alives are flowing in this universe. Creation is an insertion to me, no matter for a bug,moth, animal ,tree and human. All of us have the same definition. Deletion is another thing that most of the times take palace in this universe. You are inserted but,you may be deleted quickly,or by destiny. Im not very clear with the philosophy behin deletion from universe. However, you will see many of survival deletion in this complex universe. A moph sitting right by on my keyboard,I can delete his/her life in a second, but WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! This is a very simple example of deletion. There are many different sortsof deletion in natural life. The weather become stormy,and many of beautiful tree will lose their lives innocently. Natural disasters... About END. for every insertion there will be an end. It's about the conncetion of soul and body of living elements. Yes, one day we(all creatures) leave this universe. But memories will remain,which I believe that's endless. Your pet may die,but you always remember him/her. So this is very adorable. These are reactions against happenings. We are not able to stand against them.Why!? I don't know. A dead leaf is dead.But still alive to me. That's how I see things around, dead are alive to me. Although this leaf might be dead, but it is still as beautiful as the time it was living and breathing.Im sure the leaf spirit is proud and happy. It's not like this about human life. But, when you remember someone, that's very glorious and splendid. The spirits are endless, and you are connected to them.
There are many many words to be mentioned here, and Im unable of writing all together, but hope I could convey what I was trying to communicate with you dears.
All elements of this shot is real,and I just changes the colors in PS. You will see the original shot in comments.
What can I say my dear friend, Hanna, Im very glad now, after Iread about that poem and more delighted of finding a friend with passion and tender mind and feeling like you.
a good play with color and a strong visual metaphor It reminded me of an old poem by Don Marquis "archy and mehitabel"
the lesson of the moth
i was talking to a moth the other evening he was trying to break into an electric light bulb and fry himself on the wires
why do you fellows pull this stunt i asked him because it is the conventional thing for moths or why if that had been an uncovered candle instead of an electric light bulb you would now be a small unsightly cinder have you no sense
plenty of it he answered but at times we get tired of using it we get bored with the routine and crave beauty and excitement fire is beautiful and we know that if we get too close it will kill us but what does that matter it is better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while so we wad all our life up into one little roll and then we shoot the roll that is what life is for it is better to be a part of beauty for one instant and then cease to exist than to exist forever and never be a part of beauty our attitude toward life is come easy go easy we are like human beings used to be before they became too civilized to enjoy themselves
and before i could argue him out of his philosophy he went and immolated himself on a patent cigar lighter i do not agree with him myself i would rather have half the happiness and twice the longevity
but at the same time i wish there was something i wanted as badly as he wanted to fry himself
Thanks my dear friend, Shirely, Your understanding of this composition and my words is avery good excuse to make me more proud of being in touch with UF professionals.
Actually, I like this diagonal composition with the moth, leaf and keyboard. And, as always, your words are wonderful and make me think, dear Ardalan.:)
I know the composition of this moth might not be quite wel, but I could do nothing, you know, I was supposed to move it, but I scared it might fly away and I miss this shot. Good luck Ardalan
