These are from the roll I took with a new toy camera in Australia and recently had developed. Though they didn't all turn out how I had wanted them, I guess the element of surprise is what keeps people addicted to film.
I lean my head slowly to the side, reflect on the camellia on the moss
of the temple, reflect on a cup of tea, while outside the wind is rustling
the foliage, the forward rush of life is crystallised in a brilliant jewel
of a moment that knows neither plans nor future, human destiny is rescued
from the pale succession of days, glows with light at last and, surpassing
time, warms my tranquil heart.
