Little Frolick

The aim of life is to live and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware. - Henry Miller.

It's Sunday once again and that marks the end of another weekend. I really am starting to treasure my weekends now, there's so much to do when i'm not at work.

We have to hand in 6 photographs at the end of October, and i'm still in need of two shots - either a portrait, or patterns, or a nature shot. In my little Pentax i've got a roll of ISO 1600 which i hope helps me find that perfect snap in the darkening light. But i have very little confidence that i'm going to get a nice shot.

I chanced upon this photoblog as i was looking up information on Rolleiflex cameras:

It's truly beautiful, and makes me want to spend more time with my film and the light outside.

(plus Boris is pretty interesting too)

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz on Friday called Singapore's restrictions on the entry of activists for the World Bank/IMF meetings "authoritarian".

But he said the World Bank and IMF did not plan to postpone their annual gathering, which is being hosted by the Southeast Asian city-state this month.

"Enormous damage has been done and a lot of that damage is done to Singapore and self-inflicted. This could have been an opportunity for them to showcase to the world their development process," Wolfowitz said in response to questions from civil society organizations at a town hall meeting in Singapore.

"I would argue whether it has to be as authoritarian as it has been and I would certainly argue that at the stage of success they have reached, they would do much better for themselves with a more visionary approach to the process."

He added that the bar on entry into Singapore for some activists "is a violation of the understanding that we had drawn up" with Singapore.

The city-state has put 27 civil rights activists on a blacklist for entry to the annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank, and some would-be participants to the meetings have been deported.
