moments in time: Še enkrat na vlak, sonce v Oslu in polet domov

Images!

"Now let's make some images," Gremlin says. The phrase has been sticking out at me all week - JJ says it, and Casarsa and Gremlin and bitter all say it... "Let's make some images". Watching them all I learn the difference, between taking pictures and making images. Pictures are the haphazard, streaky affairs, pale and red and shaky, that live in the little screens on the backs of cameras, good for a laugh and a pass around the table, then ready to vanish into memory and distance. Images are something else entirely. Images are on purpose. They do not look like whatever arbitrary rectangle of space they shared the light with. They start in the photogrpahers mind and get projected, out and back, with lights and battery packs and foundation make-up and low-lying clouds and glass. Images are on purpose and you need to work hard to make them. "When I make your image," double_p tells me, "I say, I see you, I remember."

Še enkrat na vlak, sonce v Oslu in polet domov

Zjutraj hitro do Boda, ki je tokrat v snegu in še nekako počiva. Spet je bil jasen dan; svetloba vsaj uro prej kot na severu. Če ne bi bilo hribov, naj bi okrog enajstih celo vzšlo sonce... jah če ;-)

Bodo. Vrnemo zaledeneli avto in se spakiramo na vlak. Tokrat se bomo del poti vozili v svetlem. Zanimivo bo!

In res...sončni vzhod (brez sonca) traja celih 5 ur.

Ko se iz fjordov dvignemo svetloba upada, okrog nas pa prostranstva gozdov in prerij

Zjutraj se zbudimo v Oslu, ki ob 6h še globoko spi. Težko najdemo odprto kavarno, kjer se zbujamo še naslednji dve uri. Počasi se zdani in jasen dan obeta da bomo spet videli sonce.
