A5 Text dummy run

Seeing as there isn't really enough space left on my A5 preliminary notes to adequately see how the sequence and text (and its presentation) will look, I thought I would try a dummy run here to see how it might turn out. These are NOT the final sequence and may change before submission.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAShot 1 - f/7.1 at 1/6 sec., ISO-200, 42mm
"This city is afraid of me
I have seen its true face
Of what Reinhart and Malevic didn't see
And which Robert Fludd left no trace."

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA   Shot 2 - f/5.6 at 1/49 sec., ISO-3200, 42mm

"If I were dim as the sun,

Night I'd drill
with the rays of my eyes."-Vladimir Mayakovsky, 1916, excerpt from:
To his Own Beloved Self The Author Dedicates These Lines


OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Shot 3 - f/5.6 at 1/25sec., ISO-3200, 42mm

"Mapplethorpe's anguish like Margaret's smile,
Was De Mesquita's pupil with no mathematical guile;
Volkmann's impassiveness would make Kertész ask,
If like Gillian we're always wearing a mask;
And if Moore opened the door to perception,
Would Ted Hughes' muse be Godwin's intention?;
Marjane's stories and Andy's construe,
Would make Rodchenko black you out too;
Then what of Peggy Sue in a Daguerreotype?
And Amelie in a Hollywood stereotype?
As Muslim girls dance in Amsterdam,
Was Strand more French than Uncle Sam?
From those amazing blueprints by Sir Herschel,
To Turk's fake portrait commercial;
In awe of Cameron's Iago with his downward gaze,
Never to see Gaiman's gift to amaze;
Yet here I am to witness them stand tall,
On my train ride going nowhere at all."


OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Shot 4 - f/3.5 at 1/13 sec., ISO-3200, 14mm

"Squealing under city stone
The millions on the millions run,
Every one a life alone,
Every one a soul undone:
There all the poisons of the heart

Branch and abound like whirling brooks
And there through every useless art
Like spoiled meats on a butcher’s hooks
Pour forth upon their frightful kind

The faces of each ruined child:
The wrecked demeanors of the mind
That now is tamed, and once was wild." -James Agee, 1937 (Reuter, 2016)



OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Shot 5 - f/2,8 at 1/50 sec., ISO-800, 50mm prime

"I'll use you when I want to - not when you do.
I'm so in control, so strong, so deluded it's untrue.
A modern God making me the walking dead,
Who knows what it's doing to my head.
I've become like a 'mombie' on the march,
But not me, no way.
No, no."


OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Shot 6 - f/10 at 2 sec., ISO-200, 14mm

"Immediately I sprang into action, experimenting toward realizing this vision. Dressed up as a tourist, I walked into a cheap cinema in the East Village with a large-format camera. As soon as the movie started, I fixed the shutter at a wide-open aperture, and two hours later when the movie finished, I clicked the shutter closed. That evening, I developed the film, and the vision exploded behind my eyes."
-H. Sugimoto



OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Shot 7 - f/11 at 1.6 sec., ISO-3200, 50mm

"...What this one here? Yeah, well, she gave it to us years ago when she last visited us - can't remember now when exactly but it was years ago. I never really liked it at the time, to tell you the truth, seemed pointless to give us something like that. I mean, we see that sort of stuff all the time here, you know? - ten to the dozen round here they are. Don't get me wrong, we weren't ungrateful or anything, it's just, you know, what could we do with it? No disrespect or anything, but we would've been better off with the bleedin' money, you know? [laughs]..."
In conversation with the author, late June 1989; later published in Madstock's The Definitive Guide to Being Blatantly Screwed by the Local Community's Ridiculous Take on Those Numbnut Tourist and Their Willingness to Part with Pots of Money for a Pile of Arranged Rocks, 2nd edition (C. Twat., 1990).
