A Grant of the Divine


Did Our Best Moment last --
'Twould supersede the Heaven --
A few -- and they by Risk -- procure --
So this Sort -- are not given --

Except as stimulants -- in
Cases of Despair --
Or Stupor -- The Reserve --
These Heavenly Moments are --

A Grant of the Divine --
That Certain as it Comes --
Withdraws -- and leaves the dazzled Soul
In her unfurnished Rooms

Emily Dickinson

  2. Merisi, I never want to rush through your photographs and poetry, and so have just now on Friday evening given myself the joy of having a catching up on your most recent postings.

    Each one is a gem, and made my tired brain cells re-assemble a bit and begin to think creatively.

    Thank you! xo

  10. Really beautiful pictures! But they make me wonder... First of all, what camera do you use? And have you done anything to the amount of vibrance in the pictures?
    But nonetheless, magnificent pictures!

  11. Thank you, Cobalt Violet! :-)

    Jon,
    my camera is a Nikon D300s, before that, a Nikon D80.
    I shoot RAW format, no in-camera sharpening (all digital consumer cameras "sharpen" the picture in-camera) saturation (picture control) at the lowest possible setting. I like the slightly underexposed look this produces.
    The shots in the park were made on a brilliant day, Vienna does have great light. The roses were photographed on an overcast day. You'll notice the pictures are not as brilliant.
