Here it is.
This is a poetic photograph and words to describe its impact on me would be better expressed in a poem like Rilke’s Moving Forward where we see Rilke looking at a painting. I love that he says when he is growing, he feels that dogs and trees are relatives and he can see farther into a painting, see into it more deeply.” I associated to this extraordinary poet since I perceive this expansive image like looking into a painting, the colors and composition having a painterly style. Many of Rilkes poems are surprisingly intimate, something I strive to obtain in bringing the viewer into my sensory world. Robert Blys translations capture Rilkes voice with simplicity and directness, a voice that would not be heard without the prowess of this award-winning poet and translator of one of the indisputably major poets of the twentieth century. For readers new to this master poet, there are many elements of Rilkes work that will be especially meaningful: his constant attempt to avoid living shallowly; his descriptions of the frightening sensation of growth, when one abandons his previous habits and comforts and moves into the unknown (“my feeling sinks, as if standing on fishes.”); his search for spirituality his sense of isolation and transcendence; his feelings of ecstasy and their opposite, the dispiriting sensations of apathy and failure. The words of Moving Forward are an amazing example of Robert Bly’s landmark translation: “The deep parts of my life pour outward, as if the river shores were opening out. It seems that things are more likely now, that I can see farther into paintings. I feel closer to what language cant reach. With my senses, as with birds, I climb into the windy heaven, out of oak, and in the ponds broken off from the sky my feeling sinks, as if standing on fishes.” I have always loved these lines; the fish image is a triumph, an amazing union of senses. It embodies exultation, humility, and danger in a single image. I have read his poems many times and like a painting come away with a new sense of what this remarkable poems mean which is to me a sign of an extraordinary poet and without Robert Blys brilliant translations that have captured Rilke’s voice, we may never have been exposed to the genius of the poems of Rainer Maria Rilke.

Imagine being born again. Only this time your mother is the earth and you come fully equipped with memories, knowledge and a belief system. What raw emotions are evoked when the first thing you are confronted with is an environment completely foreign to what you were expecting? / Fear, confusion, doubt and loneliness. / Or because of the new environment one may lose their inhibitions, feel joy or perhaps discover inner strength and courage. Maybe the nine images are a true metaphorical reflection of the artists soul? / His background and love for the stage and theatre. / His longing to find true love and a wanting audience. / The ongoing battle of time and money between industry and creative / fulfilment.

Scott Kelby’s Second Annual Worldwide Photo Walk / Old Port, Montreal Quebec, CANADA / Saturday July 18th 2009 8:30 to 10:30 AM / It was a very wet and rainy morning. / Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-200mm lens / Taken inside the garden courtyard of a restaurant. / The Jazz combo was taking a break! / “Double basses are constructed from several types of wood, including maple for the back, spruce for the top, and ebony for the fingerboard. It is uncertain whether the instrument is a descendant of the viola da gamba or from the violin, but it is traditionally aligned with the violin family. While the double bass is nearly identical in construction to the other violin family instruments, it also has features which derive from the viols. Like many other string instruments, the double bass is played either with a bow (arco) or by plucking the strings (Pizz). In orchestral repertoire and tango music, both bowing and plucking styles are used. In jazz music, the bass is mostly plucked, except for some solos (and also occasional written parts in modern jazz) which are performed with the bow. In most other genres, such as blues and rockabilly, the bass is plucked.” / ~Wikipedia Softly As In A Morning Sunrise/Christian McBride Top ten placement in the Now Where Did I Put That Abstract, Anyway…Music of The Spirit group, December 2009 / Featured Inside Solo vol.20 (27/11/09)
