MTC Photography Posted December 25, 1998 Author Share Posted December 25, 1998 From Taosim stand point, the universe of Tao began with one. <P> The symbol of one in many languages is '-' or ' 1'. <P>A closed Minox is '-'. The only camera embodies the "oneness" of Tao.One begets two, and two begets myriads. <h3> YING AND YANG </H3> <P> In ancient classic of I Ching,<PRE><font size =+4 > ___ </font> represents Yang;<P><P> </pre><P> and <pre><font size= "10" > - - </font> represents Ying. A closed Minox is Yang, an opened Minox - - is Yin. A Yin and a Yang is the Tao. <P><a href="http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=000OYh">Join me with a cup of tea and enjoy Zen poems</A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted December 25, 1998 Author Share Posted December 25, 1998 In using the focusing dial of Minox, some times I forget to reset the dial after taking close up pictures, resulting in blurry pictures.I painted the focusing dial of my Minox camera into Black/White Tai Chi diagram. When the focus is set at infinity, the white side of the Tai Chi points to the front, and the dark side points to the back.With the help of this Tai Chi diagram, I can now easily spot whether the Minox dial is reset or not.

dubb_ditto___ Posted March 7, 1999 Share Posted March 7, 1999 When, as a child, I observed my Father outdoors I often asked ," What are you saluting, Daddy, why are you saluting ?" We now know he was using his Minox to record family life - Thanks, Daddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
