Sweet softening

you've opened me.
I turn poisons to honey
and drink.

I'm drinking pain
as though it heals me.
All for the sake of being free.

The Q'ELF plays EQUILUX - Victoria, BC

Date & Time:

Returning Saturn proudly presents...

EQUILUX - Saturday, 22 March 2008
(@ The Sunset Room :: Victoria, BC)

``The word equinox means "equal night": the duration of the day being equal to that of the night, an event which occurs but twice a year, the one marking the astrological beginning of spring and the other the ending of summer. Interestingly, the actual equal duration (equilux) need not occur on the official Equinox, which is more cultural and celebratory than scientific.``

in keeping with the idea of equilux, the night is an exploration in the balance of darker root-shaking trance, and lighter heart-opening trance... the first 3 dj's of the night will focus their energies in working us thru the dark, while the last 3 dj's (4, actually as there will be a tag set) will focus on bringing us into the light...

the evening will begin with a potluck gathering, before moving into a journey thru sound, visuals, movement and interaction...

There's tears on my guitar today

It's been a long time
since I've sung a song that way.

Shrouds for Mystery

Poor Abyss of a Mystery
You Poetic Tragedy
Your Misery pales mine
And so Saves me

You opened a basket
That was not meant for
The faint of heart

From the 2006 Vault

An un suspecting Faery was I
oh how I’d crooned for the King to be mine
And letting it just be with no ties
He grabbed my hand kissed my lips and looked into my eyes
Concubine of the Elvin King!
He’s so gentle with my Faery wings
In cuvitous fashion he did things
that made the magic castle bells ring.
So as kings may come and go
He’s off to rule and to mesmerize in show
Love comes and goes in flow
If I’ll be his again I need not know
Of this one thing I have learned
to Fall in Love and not be burned
Swoon for days with heart and belly churned
Yet navigate gently if love is to be confirmed

It's been a while,

But here it is . A few pictures from Shambhala.

I'm finally settling into Fall and have taken up the hobby of sorting through all images of my life in general since 2004 (My life on the Coast). It's ALOT, and it takes quite a bit of time for this sort of thing. Perhaps its even a bit optimistic! But "Shoot for the stars and you might just land on the Moon! "; )

If you're a photographer,
you will notice that my camera settings are displayed.
Let me know what you think.
I'm welcoming of constructive criticism and will be putting out an album of edited images that shows the difference between JPG format and RAW format Photography.

and... IF Photography, both manual or digital SLR, rings your bell, let's hook up for some constructive criticism, trade secrets, or just have a great time talking about tech and techniques.

Contact me to order or sample fully Jordao Photographic Edited images from raw format (10megapixle).

Enjoy!
