‘DRAW NEAR, CHILD’

“Draw near, child,” the spectre said.
“Do not faint with fear or dread.
I bring good news from afar,
News from planet, sun and star;
News to make the timid sing;
News to give the broken wing
Healing that will make it fly
Like an arrow through the sky.
So, my child, please have no fear,
Hear my tale—draw near, draw near!”

This, I adore. I have seen your images from the Venice Festival but I have not seen this one. It is truly magnificent. Enigmatic, ghostly, angelic, hard to say. Just such a pleasing image and the photo itself, so well done--framing, light, choice of scene--everything!
xo,

I love the image, and the haiku too.
I once had an enigma. It wasn't as unpleasant as I'd anticipated.

Have a nice day, Boonie

Sepia Saturday: John Grabill, Wounded Knee, and Plenty Horses

Image
It always amazes me to see photographs taken more than a hundred years ago. And it makes me feel like a little part of a longstanding tradition, capturing moments in time via camera. Of course I don't have to haul around big cameras with heavy plates or worry about the harmful chemicals,  just tripods and spare batteries and extra memory cards. But once upon a time, a man named  John C. H. Grabill (1866 - 1934) made his way around the American West -  circa the late 1880s to the mid-1890s  and took photographs of a way of life that's disappeared. He sent a portfolio of images to Washington, D.C. to obtain copyright protection for his works. And then he seemed to disappear into the landscape. But because he copyrighted those works, way back then, the Library of Congress has made them available to photography aficionados everywhere. I searched census records,  but never discovered Mr. Grabill. Online sources have scant info,  though one a...
