Metamorphose. An object is cut off from its name, habits, associations. Detached, it becomes only the thing, in and of itself. When this disintegration into pure existence is at last achieved, the object is free to become endlessly anything.
[Jim Morrison in Lords and the new creatures]

There’s only this life, this light
on earth; there’s no darkness or death.

and I’m one of those who hauls in the nets
when immortality swims past a shoal.
[Arseni Tarkovski].

Within the dusk, in the invisible of darkness, our primitive fears and core emptiness are revealed. Within the dusk, within the swish of the night, the endless surrounding and the pure fullness of being are enhanced. (2024).

@skinnylatte have not seen that since 1970s - when my late father, who was Malaysian Chinese used to use it a lot (and he sparked my interest in photography and technology)
@vfrmedia I see it once a month at the SF instant film walk when 30-50 enthusiasts show up with all kinds of instant film and instant cameras including stuff not seen since.. the 70s! (And supposedly out of production stuff too)
