When writing has consequences...

Me too!Now I just wonder what on earth those are doing there....
I am at the Tree estate reading the Crux Chronicle (that actually showed up on time this issue). There is a story by their ace cub reporter ‘Sharp’ Spike.
He is an aggressive young man who tries to get an interview with Messaline who is one of the seven finalists of the writer’s conference. Her Madame Judith refuses the interview yet his photographer R. Rodent still captured a viewible shot of the two ladies together.
Judith admonished the furry guy saying there would be plenty of time to take Messa’s picture when she is nailed to her cross if she wins. Spike and the rodent do not reveal what they know.
I hear something on my deck and go out to see what it could be. There I find Professor Moore looking rather becoming as usual.
In that purr only she can do she says “There is something going on with the contest this year and I think you know what it is.”
“There could be but it is cold out here” I reply. “Let’s go inside and I fill you in on what I can.”
I helped her get comfortable.
“Listen, Barb, from what I have heard the seven finalists are all going to be crucified. You don’t have a thing to worry about because you haven’t been writing much lately” I explain.
“Oh, really? You don’t know I am one of the finalists” Barb practically barks. This is not going how I expected. I wonder if she prefers sharp spikes or dull ones…

Besides in a Tree thread it pays to go old school

Of course
Retro ... land of dial phones, black and white box TVs, transistor radios and Instamatic cameras. I think they can all be seen in the StarWorld Historic Oddities and Rarities Museum on Planet Earth.

Hum, I think that ,Barb, you're too quick in condemning to the museum these kinds of ancient cameras ...
Of course, the numerical photos are so neat, so accurate , but I find them a little "cold" !
Though that they show exactely the world as it is , they've not the "warm" of the argentic'ones .
Some photographers , even professionals, continue to use of argentic , justly to keep alive this living side of a photo ...
I envisage myself to use again of an "old" Canon AE1 , that my father had ...
I loved its photos ; the only problem is that you're obliged to take only one or two photos of a theme, otherwise it could be very expensive !
With numeric, you can take many photos that you can delete after if they're not good ...

Après Daguerre finit,
Lorsque descend la nuit,
Tout's sort's de rongueur se faufilent en cachette
Et sont heureux d'trouver une couchette -
Hôtel du courant d'air,
Où l'on ne paye pas cher,
L'parfum et l'eau c'est pour rien, écureuil,
Dans la grotte de Messa.
After Daguerre’s finished,
When night comes down,
All sorts of rodent creep into hiding
And are happy to find a bed -
A draughty hotel,
But it’s cheap,
Perfume and water are free, squirrel,
In Messaline’s cave.

Indeed, yes he was.
And to replicate his style in our digital art, we have to use a variety of filters and effects just to attempt something similar.
I think this is a "Albumen"-Photoprint.

Daguerrotypes were darker.

But Tree used many years a instamatic.
