Mr.Roland died two days after I took that picture,he was a realy good friend and I use to tease him a lot.He was blind but always recognised me because he knew my voice«Ah!....« Gigi de St-Hippolyte»he used to say , holding my hand.He never asked for much only to organised his meal in a way he could easily eat by himself and to give him his chaplet for the ceremony on sundays.A great person , very generous and smiling all the time.The worst part for him was not being able to go to the bathroom ,I think that idea killed him ,he was so proud.He died very peacefully with her daughter and son ,hand in hand .The hand you see in the picture is his son’s .Let’s say that if I wasn’t passionnate about my job I couldn’t do it . / /

A Bronze Head / / / HERE at right of the entrance this bronze head, / Human, superhuman, a bird’s round eye, / Everything else withered and mummy-dead. / What great tomb-haunter sweeps the distant sky / (Something may linger there though all else die;) / And finds there nothing to make its tetror less / i{Hysterica passio} of its own emptiness? / o / No dark tomb-haunter once; her form all full / As though with magnanimity of light, / Yet a most gentle woman; who can tell / Which of her forms has shown her substance right? / Or maybe substance can be composite, / profound McTaggart thought so, and in a breath / A mouthful held the extreme of life and death. / o / But even at the starting-post, all sleek and new, / I saw the wildness in her and I thought / A vision of terror that it must live through / Had shattered her soul. Propinquity had brought / Imagiation to that pitch where it casts out / All that is not itself: I had grown wild / And wandered murmuring everywhere, ‘My child, my / child! ‘ / o / Or else I thought her supernatural; / As though a sterner eye looked through her eye / On this foul world in its decline and fall; / On gangling stocks grown great, great stocks run dry, / Ancestral pearls all pitched into a sty, / Heroic reverie mocked by clown and knave, / And wondered what was left for massacre to save. / o / By: William Butler Yeats / /
This man Pablo, brought me to his home in Taquile Island in the middle of lake Titikaka, He is a part of the “Aymara” a native ethnic group in the Andes and Altiplano regions of South America; about 2.3 million live in Bolivia, Peru, Northern Chile, and Northwestern Argentina. They lived in the region for many centuries before becoming a subject people of the Inca, and later of the Spanish in the 16th century. / The Aymara have existed in the Andes in what is now Bolivia (and, to a lesser extent, Peru) for over 2,000 years, according to some estimates. It is most likely that the Inca had a strong influence over the Aymara region for some time. Though conquered by the Inca, the Aymara retained some degree of autonomy under the empire. There were a number of ethnic groups which were later to be known Aymara by the Spanish. These were divided upon different chieftaincies. Upon arrival of the Spanish, all these groups were spread in what today is Bolivia. / Most present day Aymara-speakers live in the Lake Titicaca basin beginning in Lake Titicaca through Desaguadero River and into Lake Poopo (Oruro) also known as the Altiplano, and are concentrated south of the lake. The present urban center of the Aymara region is El Alto, a 750,000-person city near the Bolivian capital La Paz. / The native language of the Aymara is also named Aymara; in addition, many Aymara speak Spanish, which is the dominant language of the countries in which they live, as a second language.

The first settlers in Mad River Township settled sometime prior to 1798. The name Enon means “abundance of springs” and from 1817 to 1838 the area was a flourishing agricultural center. This was capture at the Enon, Ohio cemetery, some of the stones I could read dated back to the mid 1800’s. Shot in monchrome, then solarize in PS and added a sepia tone to it. / canon 5D mark ll / canon 17mm / ISO 200 / 1/40 f/14 / circular polarizer
