Parvati

 In the solace of mist

Rhine full of  emaciated ghosts , clear faces with manic hatchets ,  disappointed trunks , floating flowers , agonizing masks , rustling dreams , palpitating empty baskets , plodding branches  &   thoughts of blithe martyrs

Like all the rivers

I admit to being slightly obsessed with taking photos that have crooked horizons and squaring them to horizontal. I know there’s a notion that a cock-eyed frame makes a more dramatic photo, but it often seems to me that the result just looks lazy or sloppy, like a snapshot, of which there are plenty with crooked horizons. Here’s one where I question whether inattention to the horizon is an improvement—a fashion photo with a world champion skydiver (link below). Left, as published (in Tumblr): what’s going on?; right, with horizon horizontal: the model is now clearly arrowing toward the ground.
