Foot Candles.

You can also use the light meter in your automatic camera: set the film speed to 100 and the shutter speed to f4. Place a matt white card where the plants will be. With the lens focused on the card only, note the shutter speed. If it indicates 1/250, you have about 250 footcandles, 1/500 equals about 500 footcandles, and so on.

On Narcissism.

Today.

The brutish 30.9C heat gave way to a 17C evening of beautiful cool summer breeze, carrying to us the sweet fragrance of summer and a feeling of great relief. Like a beast had been broken.

 

A wonderful day. x

Johan Cruyff Ajax Snub Anecdote

But perhaps the greatest example of a player risking his reputation by taking on a late-career challenge came when Johan Cruyff signed for Feyenoord, aged 36. Having returned to Ajax after a jaunt around the US in which he appeared to be happy seeing out his career in his slippers, he won the title with the club where he made his name two seasons on the bounce. But in May 1983 Ajax chose not to renew his contract. How could Cruyff show them how angry he was? By signing for the club they most hate. And how could he make them regret that decision more than any other? By winning the league and cup double and being voted Dutch footballer of the year, that’s how. Bravo Johan, you brilliant, antagonistic swine you.

Shadows from the past are simply shadows. Look up at the life around you now. Our shadow will always follow us but as long as we're walking toward light, we won't be aware of it so much. x
