Books I'm reading now |
I bought a couple of interesting old used books.
"The Praktica Book" by R. Rössing. This book from 1963 is a translation
of "Fotografie mit der Praktica" published by VEB Fotokinoverlag Halle
in 1962. It covers the origin of the (East) German Praktica cameras and
how to use them.
"The Praktica Way" by L. Gaunt. A book from 1972 about the function and
design of all Praktica models from the original Praktiflex to the
Praktica LLC and LB.
I'm fascinated to my "commie" cameras. I love using my East German
Prakticas and Pentacon Six TL, Soviet/Russian Zenit SLRs,
Soviet/Ukrainian Kiev rangefinder, and Chinese Seagull TLR.

God, this is horrible. Honest. Really. I can't go on reading.
Your government should, once and for all, declare English as the
official language for the USA (preferably), or at least improve /vastly/
the translation standards - by an order of magnitude at least. Othewise
they'll be doing a disservice to the languages they're butchering.

I fail to see the connection. But for what it's worth, what I've read of
it is clumsy (poor language skills). Don't try to learn from this, it
can only do you harm.
(It shows a pretty low standard of translation, too - I'm assuming it's
translated from English).

"With the last gasp of Romanticism, the quelling of its florid uprising
against the vapid formalism of one strain of the Enlightenment, the
dimming of its yearning for the imagined grandeur of the archaic, and
the dashing of its too sanguine hopes for a revitalized, fulfilled
humanity, the horror of its more lasting, more Gothic legacy has
settled in, distributed and diffused enough, to be sure, that
lugubriousness is recognizable only as languor, or as a certain
sardonic laconicism disguising itself in a new sanctification of the
destructive instincts, a new genius for displacing cultural
reifications in the interminable shell game of the analysis of the
human psyche, where nothing remains sacred."

He doesn't seem to have a clue about European politics. He can't tell
Stalin from Hitler; totalitarian left from totalitarian right. Or maybe
he's just anti-capitalist. Or maybe we all look the same to these crafty
Chinese.

None of the above, IMHO. He's just simply anti-Jew, with some anti-gay,
anti-Negro and anti-Socialist epithets voiced occasionally so as to make
himself appear well-rounded in his hatreds.

You tell me. I'm only giving my perception of the attitudes of one

: himself appear well-rounded in his hatreds.
and this is new to east asians ?
You tell me. I'm only giving my perception of the attitudes of one
individual at this point in time, not describing the mindset of an
entire geo-ethno-political population throughout known history.
Well I hope someone does know, or that's the whole group down the pan.

what is it with you and the eastern bloc?
He doesn't seem to have a clue about European politics. He can't tell
Stalin from Hitler; totalitarian left from totalitarian right. Or maybe
he's just anti-capitalist. Or maybe we all look the same to these crafty
Chinese.
None of the above, IMHO. He's just simply anti-Jew, with some anti-gay,
anti-Negro and anti-Socialist epithets voiced occasionally so as to make
himself appear well-rounded in his hatreds.
Yes, but the cameras were all produced under 'socialist' regimes, and he
is in love with them.

As well, I've heard nary a mention from him of the reel-to-reel tape
recorder, a technology developed for and employed by the Nazi propaganda machine.

recorder, a technology developed for and employed by the Nazi propaganda
machine.
<begin wikipedia quote>
Early tape recorders were first developed in Germany. On Christmas day 1932
the British Broadcasting Corporation first used a tape recorder for their
broadcasts. The device used was a Marconi-Stille recorder, a huge tape
machine which used steel razor tape 3mm wide and 0.08mm thick. In order to
reproduce the higher audio frequencies it was necessary to run the tape at a
90 metres per minute past the recording and reproducing heads. This meant
that the length of tape required for a half-hour programme was nearly 3
kilometres and a full reel weighed 25kg!
Magnetic tape recording as we know it today was developed in Germany during
the late 1930s by the C. Lorenz company and by AEG . In 1938, S. J. Begun
left Germany and joined Brush Development Company in the United States,
where work continued but attracted little attention.
Engineers at AEG, working with the chemical giant I.G. Farben, created the
world's first practical magnetic tape recorder, the 'K1', which was first
demonstrated in 1935. During World War II AEG engineers discovered the AC
biasing technique. A high-frequency signal, typically in the range of 50 to
150 kHz, is added to the audio signal before being applied to the recording
head. This means that the magnetization is performed at levels in the most
linear portion of the medium's transfer function. Biasing radically improved
sound quality and enabled them to develop their recorders to new heights of
technical excellence; by 1943 they had developed stereo tape recorders.
During the war, the Allies became aware of radio broadcasts that seemed to
be transcriptions, but their audio quality was indistinguishable from that
of a live broadcast and their duration was far longer than was possible with
78rpm discs. At the end of the war, the Allied capture of a number of German
Magnetophon recorders from Radio Luxembourg aroused great interest. These
recorders incorporated all of the key technological features of analog
magnetic recording, particular the use of high-frequency "bias."

it's the same perceptual mistake the world over.
there are so so many things that make us seem different, and fearful of
eachother, some like to continue it purposefully....
