PROMPT: Blog

Why do you blog?

A quick and easy fix of creative output.

That said, by the original definition of “blog,” it could be argued that I don’t blog and never did much of it, as my posts are not of a journaling / thoughts on “X” variety and rarely have been.

Diminished [Free Verse]

I take a sunrise photo
And find the glorious orb
Diminished by poor photography,
& upstaged by a flaring pigeon.

World in Sepia [Haiku]

a hazy day,
 the sun 's low, and the world
  turns old photo. 

DAILY PHOTO: Terror Háza Múzeum, Budapest

Taken in Budapest in 2014.

This museum, located at Andrássy út 60 in Budapest, was used by both the Arrow Cross Militia (i.e. the Hungarian fascists during WWII) and the ÁVH (the secret police from the Communist era.) Specially-constructed (and diabolical) torture cells in the basement probably made it convenient to keep from one regime to the next.

The photo above and the photo below were taken at almost the same time (around dusk), but with some adjustments to the manual settings. (You can see the time continuity in the clouds above the hotel in the right half of the photo.) What a difference a few clicks make.IMG_2911
