Photography as Philology
My untrained eye, lack of creativity, unsteady hand, and crappy camera all come together in these photos. As such, I apologize. Sometimes I liken my photography (if I dare call it that) to my Hebrew and/or Greek translations. Both are a work of interpretation from an original to a representation. Both face the obstacle of inadequacy. Both never fully capture the import of the original presentation. Both forfeit the striking, salient features appreciated in their original context.

Or, like my cooking.
Yes. yes, justcurious. The same applies for me...and, well, most (all?) things I try my hand at.
Hey justcurious, 'just curious' when you'll commence your own blog?!?
What? And have people bug me about not posting? :)
touche, jc. you win....you always do.
You know, I check this thing REGULARLY!
Ouch, jc. You know, as it stands, you probably get on this thing more than I do--as evidenced by my delay in response. I'm...I'm embarrassed.
Is this a subtle hint? Do the masses cry for more?
Puhlease, if anyone should be embarrassed it should be me, but stalkers have no shame!
Absolutely this is a cry for more from lots and lots of us. How does it feel to hear your name ringing against the internet rafters? Echoing off the visitor side bleachers? Jonbon! Jonbon!
