Nr. 56

Its an analog day. I’ve been rummaging around my old negatives. Most of my newer ones are still in Austria and won’t be in my possession in any near future I suspect. But that doesn’t mean I cannot enjoy the rediscovery of some old portraits I did with the large format camera. Unfortunately I don’t have access to a proper professional scanner these days so a normal flatbed will have to do the trick. 
I’ve also fished out several bags of Dias. The only projector I have for Dias here at home is an old Minolta with a manual cartridge which only takes two slides at a time. Tedious but somewhat nostalgic too.

But I felt I’ve been here before and even if I get some glimmer of a good future I don’t really believe it will happen to me. All my life I’ve had some form of goal or direction, and even though I know not having any  doesn’t necessarily translate to bad, I just don’t see myself in a positive light. I’m tired of trying, pushing, fighting, being patient. I’ve got all the counter arguments against this...but I just don’t feel them anymore.

Although the media is dominated by politics these days every so often I do read about either shootings, terror attacks in the Middle East or Asia, and natural disasters causing mass deaths. When these things happen in the western world social media is flooded with thoughts and prayers, profile photos with a flagged face and so forth. I don’t really mind that, and I could write another post about why we do this and why those reasons are benign even if riddled with ulterior motives. What I want to address though is the people who are upset as to why we are not showing the same outrage and empathy when it happens in third world countries. And there is a point to that, however, it doesn’t mean everyone doesn’t care whether people die or not. It’s natural that the impact of people closer to you have significantly stronger emotional pull than those further away. You might say it’s different if it’s family or friends but fellow citizens are still strangers equally to those farther away. And...
