Thank you for being here for me, so I can be here for you.
Enjoy your day and stay creative!
Botty loves you. <3
@d-pend,
You've got a new toy. Digital manipulation is fun. There's a word for seeing patterns where none exists (like seeing pictures in clouds ... I can't remember what it is off the top of my head).
Take a look at the second picture: Doesn't it look like there's a human figure just to the right of center?
I thought about that ... my mind finding patterns where none exists, trying to make meaning from the meaningless. But then I considered the source: D-Pend.
Hmmm.
Nothing is ever simple with that guy. How can I complicate this?
And so, I spent a bit of time squinting, head-tilting and engaging in rampant conjecture. The title of my resulting Interpretive Hypothesis would be:
"D-Pend ... Emerging From A Void."

Images of dying trees silence words, making up for color. More than speaking with words, images speak. They tell a story of light, colour, pain, direction and path. In the images, amber prevails, symbol of sunset, autumn, death, end and beginning of something. However, there are also blues, which introduces the idea of hope and life.
Then, it could be deduced that, without words, the poetry of the images speaks to us of season, of the fleeting nature of life, of the fragile membrane that separates life and death, of the illusion of the senses that make us feel that there are colors that wrap themselves in time and dislocate it, presenting mistaken ideas about what begins, what ends; when in reality they are not excluding, because they are constantly contained and renewed.
@hlezama,
Given the lack of electricity running through them, you should create a montage and entitle it, "Clotheslines."
That is what is called, "Gallows Humor."
Quill
Hahaha. Good one. We are a living museum of objects going useless. Good for contemplation of what once was or could have been...
@hlezama,
“Some men see things as they are and say, why; I dream things that never were and say, why not.”
Maduro: "Countrymen ... I dream of a day when all Venezuelans will have the opportunity to eat grass ... for free! And why not? Our grass is amongst the best grass on Earth ... and it grows in the ditches. Viva la Revolución!"
Quill
Hahaha. Not very far from the outrageous things these bastards have seriously said.
In this video Chavez is confronted with his own contradictions.
In the first part he says:
Then, years later, he says
and then they itemize the expensive articles of clothing of the allegedly humble revolutionary.
@hlezama,
Venezuela, one of the richest countries in the world in terms of natural resources, is currently paying a Stupidity Tax. Ideology, and the corruption it excuses in the name of the Ideal ... ALWAYS DESTROYS EVERYTHING.
If governance is not PAINFULLY BORING ... you're not doing it right. Good governance requires a merciless commitment to the mundane: Filling potholes; making sure the trains run on time; and ensuring that Part No. 3401842 A is in stock ... for nations are systems of minuscule interactions and such minutia are the sinews of society.
Once leaders decide to become 'rockstars' instead of 'ringmasters' ... you've got a problem. The more systemic problem, though, is that South America has a long-established love of Caudillos and Chavez and Maduro are merely the latest incarnations of want-to-be Bolivars.
As Churchill once said, "People get the government they deserve."
Quill
Yep. I have to give it to you, man. It has been our historical malaise.
Proof of that is that all the contenders in the last 5 presidetial elections had been the most populist/close-to-the-people's discourse of the pack.
This people have been bewitched, is the new mantra. No logical explanation can account for such tremendous display of collective stupidity
Dear @d-pend sir!
Beautiful photographs of nature pulled from the iPhone 8+ show different aspects of life. As the human life is facing various situations, keeping its family and themselves alive, in the same way, this tree also preserves its existence while experiencing cold and summer all the seasons.
There is famous wordless poem, written by Polish poet Ryszard Krynicki. Wordlessness is full of potential, acutely so.
i've enjoyed your work for quite a while and i have to say, this is great. words are great, too, but sometimes wordless is the way to go.
Hey @nemosum. I appreciate you checking it out and glad you enjoyed. Words are curious things and all mediums of creativity have their limits.
I always feel one of the main features of creative aspiration is a sort of striving to reach beyond whatever feeble mechanism one is attempting to manifest with. Sometimes the best thing is to switch to another creative avenue so more inspiration can be tapped and channeled into one's favored method.
Beautiful photographs.
I think that last one just gave me tourette's fuck.
