Journaldate: 365.6

February 28, 2021 by Simon Robinson 2 Comments

Stardate 74628 or 47634.44

Everyone’s calendars are relative to a starting point. It’s been a year since I started this journal so it’s Journalday 365 today. Trekkies might date it as 74628 despite the fictitious origins. Then again, Star Trek on TV (74628) isn’t on the same calendar as the game played as Star Trek Online (47634). Parallax takes many forms.

Two garden shots from this morning’s search for magnolias.

The Garden Issued

February 26, 2021 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

Chapbook or photozine? I wish I’d thought of calling them the former before I started publishing photozines. And I wish we’d thought to set up Bracket Books Ireland long before now. Either way, we intend to fail better next time.

Garden went into the post-office yesterday. It’s the second book, the February edition, for the current subscribers. I’d anticipated the pandemic-slowed postal services would make local deliveries on March 1st. It seems that nothing is predictable and miraculously, some arrived today.

Yes, these were taken at home during the pandemic.

Garden Photozine

February 20, 2021 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

A Chinese proverb says all gardeners know better than other gardeners.

All I know is that gardens are sources of wonderment in all seasons, sites and scales.

The Muglins Issued

February 12, 2021 by Simon Robinson 4 Comments

It’s a bit late for January but the production issues have been overcome and we mailed out the first issue of the photozine today. The free subscription list of thirty-nine is full but that doesn’t mean a request for a free copy will be ignored in these first few issues.

The Muglins as I saw it yesterday, long after the first photozine went to press.

Gamuts and Profiles

Gamuts and Profiles

What a session I just had. It wasn’t with with a physiotherapist though my neck and shoulder do need some relieving manipulation. Nor a dentist though my teeth were damagingly clenched for a few hours. Nor a psychologist even though I needed to talk with someone to excise the stress induced by printing. No, my session was with a helpline Ian who checked and approved my work and provided me a discount for a print run that needs to be reprinted.

Not every moon shot looks as bright as it should!

Muglins Photozine

Cover of The Muglins Photozine
Yes, these were taken at night!

‘My father told me that cameras let you save eight milliseconds for eternity. 

He grew up within sight of The Muglins. I grew up knowing to respect its purpose.’
