The Winter Garden Photograph.
It's February 15th, right in the middle of reading week. And right now I am, appropriatly, reading. I am reading Roland Barthes 'Camera Lucida', I'm reading this book because Dr Wickens told us we should, and also because I want to write my FACS research essay on it this term. It's a nice book, it's mind expansive. I long to go outside, I opened the window to feel the air. It's refreshing, not cold like it should be because it's February I suppose it is the result of global warming. I can't go outside because I have no reason to. All my homework is here I don't need anything from the library.
I want to learn Latin. I want to take it in summer school here at York. Latin is a strange subject to want to learn, because it's a dead language and no one speaks it anymore. However, it is the root of a lot of languages like French and Italian, so Latin facinates me. But If I want to work this summer, which I need to because I'm a University student and we need money, I wont have time to go to summer school for two months out of our 4 month summer. Maybe i'll just teach myself Latin, I can read books about it, which I can get from the Library, however, if I teach myself Latin, I'll know it, but the University won't give me six credits for learning it because I didn't pay them. Isn't that stupid?
I still want to go outside, the sun is still in the sky and will stay in the sky for longer as the weather gets warmer. I know i'll be leaving the building when Jenn and I go to see the awesome movie with Piper Perabo about falling in love, but that will only be to walk to the bus. There will be no time to breathe in the air and allow my mind and body to free itself from the rez/cabin feaver I am now experiencing.
Ah well...such is life.....
Life.....I wonder what Roland Barthes has to say about life. He has a lot to say about photography.
