Walking Ulysses: 06/16 Bloomsday

閱讀喬伊斯的 <<尤里西斯>> (Ulysses) 有許多方法。目前由波士頓學院的 Joseph Nugent 教授所設計的這個 Walking Ulysses 正是可以讓還沒讀過這本名著，或是還沒拜訪過 1904 年 06 月 16 日這一天的都柏林之旅行者， 一個新的數位介面。

邊看，邊讀，邊想像。

或許，有一天我們會有線上 Walking Ulysses 的遊戲?

Tangible Things: Objects from Other Harvard Collections at the Harvard Museum of Natural History

Through May 29, 2011

The multi-venue exhibition, Tangible Things: Harvard Collections in World History, prompts viewers to question the ways in which objects are typically classified. Find six objects from other Harvard collections within the Harvard Museum of Natural History’s galleries. These “guest objects” include a dog’s paw-print in mud brick from Mesopotamia dated 1500-1350 BC, on loan from the Semitic Museum; a Tiffany vase (pictured left) from the Harvard Art Museums; and a kidney stone from the Warren Anatomical Museum at the Harvard Medical School. A Guide-by-Cell tour offers visitors an opportunity to learn more about each of these objects.
The core Tangible Things exhibit is located at the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments and includes objects from many Harvard libraries and museums. Guest objects are located in several different venues. The exhibition was developed by Ivan Gaskell, Senior Lecturer in History, and Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, 300th Anniversary University Professor in the History department, as part of the Harvard general education course Tangible Things: Harvard Collections in World History.

Linda Hogan's People of the Whale

In the first chapter of Linda Hogan's People of the Whale entitled "Octopus", readers are told of an unfamiliar moment--the silence and stillness before bringing home a whale.....

....When they hunted, the women would be quiet the whole time the men were out. Everyone has to be pure in heart and mind. By then the whale would be coming gladly toward the village.

    "Oh brother, sister whale," he sang. "Grandmother whale, Grandfather whale. If you come here to land we have beautiful leaves and trees. We have warm places. We have babies to feed and we'll let your eyes gaze upon them. We will let your soul become a child again. We will pray it back into a body. It will enter our bodies. You will be part human. We'll be part whale. Within our bodies, you will dance in warm rooms, create light, make love. We will be strong in thought for you. We will welcome you. We will treat you well. Then one day I will join you." His wife sang with him.

    When Witka truly died, his wife, best girlfriend, and daughter held on to his body longer than they should. They couldn't be sure he was dead just because he wasn't breathing. (22-23).

As a modern reader, it is a breathtaking passage in which life has been delineated into an endless cycle of enrichment. Whales and human beings will share this mingling process of myth-making. The praying of the female whale singer and the sonable agreement of the whales....

Is it the music of cannibalistic ecstasy?

我的精靈妹妹哪有那麼可愛

我家的夜精靈妹妹，是個信奉自然之力的德魯伊，
偶爾會和鑽研魔法的法師姊姊在力量的使用上意見不合，
二姊常會在拌嘴的時候嚷著家裡兩個法師，沒想到竟出了一個不喜歡魔法的德魯伊。
但其實她還是很疼愛妹妹的，每次到城裡的拍賣場血拼總不忘帶點東西給小妹。

之前回去國北師借書的時候用手機拍的。
第一張是校門口的鐘塔，曾多次出現在廣告或mv中，也常是同學集合的地標性建物。
第二張是操場。
第三張是圖書館旁的坡道。
第四張是大禮堂，這也是學校的另一個古蹟景點。

牧貓記事10424-練習

 

跟平常上色的順序不同，皮膚不是由淺色加深，而是從深色打亮做出光影。
對於配色跟調色我還要再多加強一點才行。

牧貓記事110421-夢幻花園

這樣夢幻的景色是精靈的居所嗎？還是哪個奇幻世界呢？

答案是台北故事館前面的小花園！
花博的倒數幾天，早就買好的預售票一次都沒有機會去，趁著天氣好就出去逛逛。
人潮果然滿滿，雖然很多館都大獲好評，但不喜歡人群又討厭排隊的我沒有進任何一個館，就在開放的庭園走走，從圓山公園區晃到故事館前面，光是看到很多花又曬了太陽就覺得值回票價，便打道回府。

牧貓記事110417-模型般的小世界

 換了新手機以後，踏進被google宰制的體系，成為android的共謀XD

但這並沒有阻止我在手機上裝一些其實不是那麼需要但感覺很炫的應用程式，例如我這張照片拍的學校，看起來很像可愛的模型吧？其實是利用相機軟體上的移軸模擬做出來的特效。「移軸鏡攝影」是利用特殊的移軸鏡頭所拍攝的作品，特色是讓畫面看起來有如模型一般，但移軸鏡頭通常價格不斐，買不起？沒關係！現在利用軟體也可以體驗一下移軸的樂趣！

拍攝的當天天氣其實並不算好，對於學校的美反而特別有體會。不論晴雨，都可以捕捉到很有味道的景色，花樹山嵐皆美。

分享幾張我滿喜歡的移軸攝影，第一張是日本攝影師本城直季的作品。

 下面幾張是網路上看到的，跟大家分享。
