Entropy ≥ Memory . Creativity ²
Outlining a Theory of General Creativity .. (in progress in a 'pataphysical way)
Case study of the day:
The median vacuum semiotics of the noosphere. Exploration of the idiomShadcalls
In earlier times, Watch it ! The little bird is coming out ! was a common sentence used by my grandfather to signal us to stay still during the exposure ! I was waiting for a long time without to see any bird coming out, of course. Now I believe I know why !
THE ALLEGORY OF CAMERA & OBSCURA
Once upon a time there was two small dark boxes, illuminated with certainties. Two small empty heads, full of hope, and whose sensitive soul was waiting until the external light penetrates them to dazzle them with an image of the "True Reality”. At the proper time, they finally opened.
Camera in pursuit of the Absolute, wanted all to see without any reflection. All, absolutely All ! Then, at the proper time, she decided to be totally overcome by the "True Entropic Reality", all her sensitivity offered to intensely feel everything, without any prejudice, without thinking one second with all these words which darkens the mind more than they enlighten it. She installed a hypersensitive film which she will push in spite of its coarse grain. She tuned her diaphragm to the maximum aperture, a long time, and gave up herself to ecstatically feel the whole true light of the whole True Entropic Reality.
Obscura in quest of the Universal Knowledge, wanted all to know precisely, he wanted all to understand and memorize with a maximum of details and discernment. Then at the proper time, he decided to focuse a depth of field as deep as possible, to choose a pause time as short as possible, to be sure to get the highest neatness of the True Real Universal Memory. He installed a hyperfine grain film which he will develop energetically to compensate its low sensitivity. He tuned the aperture at less than anything, and adjusted the pause time at an infinitesimal fraction of nothing.
The moral of the story ? All the photographers will say it to you !
Camera obtained the most luminous image which is at ounce the fuzziest one, an immaculate uniform Absolute Entropic white 100%blank.
Obscura obtained the finest image which is at ounce the darkest one, an immaculate uniform Universal black 100%blank.
From now on, they choose exposures suitable to create less blind images.
Camera finally formed in her several suspicions of True Reality. They are images as poor of Absolute Sensitivity as weak of Universal Knowledge, but they are marvellous and magic images, illuminated by unexpected shapes and colors, whistled by the calls of colored shadows. In the neighbourhood of the Absolute Entropy, each cell of Camera opens like a white sapphire prism dispersing and breaking up the Entropic light in colored iridescences. Now, from her cells juxtaposition are emerging lines and shapes, metamorphosing the dazzling Entropic light in simple but unknowable .. transcendent shadows, only lacking some .. illusive bird calls to give them a name.
Obscura finally formed in him several suspicions of True Reality. They are images as poor of Universal Knowledge as weak of Absolute Sensitivity, but they are marvellous and magic images, rich of ambiguous signs and senses. In the neighbourhood of the Universal Memory, each cell of Obscura opens like a black sapphire crystal dispersing and breaking up the universal darkness in colored enlightening sparks. Now, from his cells juxtapositions are emerging vowels, consonants and others signs, metamorphosing the gloomy universal darkness in simple but unknowable .. transcendent bird calls, only lacking some .. illusive shadows to give them a sense.
Listen ! The little birds are shading off !

Image percutante... j'en demeure bouche bée (*;*)
Le petit oiseau prend sa pause syndicale?
Non... il préfère plutôt demeurer à l'ombre du photographe?

p.s. Joël... humm... l'objectif de la caméra est à l'extérieur de la photographie.... hum.... Je dois avoir la berlue

Hello cousine !
L' Emberlue est une cameraciforme du Canada, de Nouvelle-Flickarie et de Photogralie, parfois classée dans une famille à part (les canadatuidés) actuellement considérée comme une des rares familles cousinattacidées francophones (à ne pas confondre avec celles des québecuinées), subdivisée en plusieurs confréries dont les Torontocalorraines à plumage roux, les Torontoneds à plumage poivre & sel, etc.

For me too difficult questions

@ KaRiNe: merci pour ce grand éclat de rire... L'Emberlue... j'aime bien :))

Bluesrose (62 months ago | reply)
yes, Joël :)
it's a fairly old song, written during World War 2, Estonian compositor Raimond Valgre
Thank you :)

They are two birds now... and Bluebird has changed its place :)
This page is becoming an aviary. Formi - Formidable!
Welcome to the conference of the birds !
Thank you for the song Maris :)
I will have to "Google" & "Harrap's" a little to understand correctly the end of the marvellous story of Camera and Obtura.
3h later... Oups! petit lapsus (shame on me) mais amusant je trouve... Not Obtura but Obscura ;-)
L'embellie (62 months ago | reply)
p.s. Did you noticed that the magician even enlarged the page to make place with the birds ?
Ned Lyttelton (62 months ago | reply)
I can't keep track of all of this! Every time I visit there's something new. It's wonderful. It's not just a photo - it's a glorious synthesis of the Joël's mind, the things photographed, the Photoshop effects and conventions, the Flickr environment and now the comments-as-art as well - all contributing to the whole fluid experience

oH Maris, .. the photographer is here a dummy one of course !
Only birds exist enlightening us with their calls !
