    About this ebook

    Literature, Photography and Art
    Still hanging in there campers? I hope so, because Liphar Magazine has been traversing with a mix of stimulating material in this energized issue.

    Behind the Lens: Wojciech Toman with his view on HDR (High Dynamic Range) images, as opposed to "traditional" photography.
    Joyce Dickens refers to her photography work as "Infused Artography" and considers herself a contemporary photographer/digital artist.

    Art for Life: Carolyn Roper plunges us into the world of body painting, where this unfamiliar fantasy domain to most, is brought to reality.

    Articles: Post Net Fiction, states literary fiction is seriously off the rails where the need to right again this once powerful and beautiful voice of real discovery and language.
    Criterion of Beauty, challenges that art has no exact science of the beautiful and pleasurable; it just makes us more human with our own rational freedom.
    Scrazzle, the new kid on the block, which seeks to invade Twitter territory by one upping what Twitter offers.

    Thought Food: Advent of belief, where the real question is, why do you believe what you do?

    Stories: A Game of Cards, where two ghosts sit at a square granite table and one says, "I am starting to think this ghost business isn’t all you made it out to be."
    Maladjusted A twisted tale
    MOO, "To believe in dreams is a manifestation of insanity." Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
    Trains by the River, why did Hamlet trouble about ghosts after death, when life itself is haunted by ghosts is so much more terrible? Chekhov, Notebooks, 1892-1904

    Wojciech Toman, a 27-year-old landscape and HDR (High Dynamic Range) photographer from Warsaw, Poland enlightens us in an interview. His stance on HDR is more of a realistic approach than ‘traditional’ photography, because it allows images to be created with a dynamic range that is closer to reality. Love or hate it!
    Two of the most innovative and influential American photography masters of 20th century photography, Ansel Adams and Edward Weston inspired Joyce Dickens to pick up a camera. She refers to her work as "Infused Artography" and considers herself a contemporary photographer/digital artist.
    With major industry awards, a double World Body Painting Champion and recognised as one of the best body artists in the world today, Carolyn Roper plunges us into the world of body painting. Where seeing is believing with her images in an interview, this unfamiliar domain to most, fantasy is brought to reality.

      At my Desk…

      Your continued support as readers to the magazine is nothing short of fantastic. We at Liphar would like to thank you for your support and feedback.

      Nowadays, it is a competitive market in the world of Social Media, where Twitter with its 645,750,000 plus members is ideal for micro-blogging. However, have you been a victim of their extensive rules that seemed to change daily? Often without reason, your account has been suspended. And getting a correct response to a question is near impossible as you are just a number! You receive responses that have little, or nothing to do with the situation. Therefore, do they really care about you?

      Take heart there is an alternative! A new revolution of social media is now available.

      A refreshing and exciting option to micro-blogging is now conducting beta testing. Scrazzle http://is.gd/YfA5Dc as it's called has much to offer. This common sense approach to micro- blogging eases the aggravation and replaces back the fun. The site interface, icons and terminologies create a lively combination that is easy to follow.

      Let's explore the differences…

      Twitter: Tweets - 140 characters including links and images.

      Scrazzle: Tweets - 300 characters, not including links.

      Twitter: Direct Messages - 140 characters with limited links.

      Scrazzle: Direct Messages - 3000 characters with unlimited links.

      Twitter: Profile - 160 characters to describe yourself.

      Scrazzle: Profile - 600 characters to describe yourself.

      Just these figures alone would excite any social media fan whom wants to share their thoughts with friends, family and the universe.

      But wait, there's more…

      Scrazzle offers: No limit on following, without trying to stay within limits. Very few rules that are easy to follow. Moreover and most importantly, support answers to questions will be attended to within a few hours.

      With the plethora of individuals that have voiced their opinion and thoroughly fed up with Twitter, but feel they have nowhere to go…there is a choice. Is Scrazzle the new Twitter?

      PostNet Fiction. Where is it? I Want it - I Wanna Eat it.

      By: Christian Fennell

      That’s how hungry I am for it. It is—so help me out.

      And there is, is there not, a direct line of literary thought from Melville to Faulkner to McCarthy? Consider this: His moral conscience is the curse he had to accept from the gods in order to gain from them the right to dream. – Faulkner.

      And they did, they dragged us—pushed and kicked us into this age of the ‘net’, and what? Where are we now? And who is there among us and where are they and what is the current state of literary fiction today?

      Genre fiction thrives, advances, populated by established writers and emerging writers in the near millions. Literally.

      And literary fiction? Maybe not so much.

      Why—what the hell is going on and how did literary fiction become so marginalized? Where the fuck is the next McCarthy, Morrison, Márquezis? Or are they out there, and I’m just not seeing it? And if so, great. Wonderful. Let me know. Reach out and point the way—email, tweet me, fb me, or whatever me, I just wanna know.

      I want names.

      I read literary magazines, the latest releases and what do I see in the current world of literary fiction? Mostly this: endless fictionalized accounts of personal triumph over some societal miss-function, some ill-willed slander, some wrong wrought down on some poor bastard the root of which is all society’s doing – and too fucking bad, and all of it personalized with ‘close’ internalized first person accounts or some ‘deep’ third reporting of all of that and really, enough—okay? Please, stop. Does it help if I say please? I hope so because literary fiction is seriously off the rails and we need to right again this once powerful and beautiful voice of real discovery and language. Why? Because it is the way, and it always has been, and that is where they were taking us. But not anymore. Why?

      McCarthy: The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man's mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others. Blood Meridian, Cormac McCarthy

      Perhaps we just stopped listening? But I don’t think so.

      I think another ‘collective’ voice grew in its place, grew louder and stronger, slowly eating through the thread of thought that we still see there, waiting, unable to reach and touch and not because we can’t—no, not at all; it’s just a case, I believe, that our faith in ourselves has been eroded—the church, I’m afraid, is emptying. Sad, isn’t it. And what about you? Do ya care? Probably you don’t, but oh well, you know, because it matters. It does.

      And what ‘collective’ voice are we talkin about? Well, I think, mostly, despite all the brilliant elements of distribution and shared knowledge and social implications the ‘net’ brings to us, there are obvious downsides, one of those being shared thought of untruths on a wide reach that can then become known and accepted truths based upon sheer numbers and repetition—the loudest voice wins. Rules and laws and rights and wrongs, you can and you can’t, that circulate and settle like a fine dust of collective insecurity seeking a common denominator of doubt and uncertainty.

      And yet this world is a small world. The next great ones are out there, working through this settling dust of huddled insecurity right now. I can feel it.

      Over the last year or so I have scrutinized the many fine writing sites, popping on and off, sometimes staying and exploring, listening and commenting, writing and critiquing, and this is what I have mostly found: endless forum discussions among writers of rules that bind and hinder and define narrow approaches that do not push or free the writer (show don’t tell - lol).

      So in other words, just fucking get it and be brave and let others know you get it. Be writers. And remember this: Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique. There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut. The young writer would be a fool to follow a theory. Teach yourself by your own mistakes; people learn only by error. The good artist believes that nobody is good enough to give him advice. He has supreme vanity. No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him. - Faulkner.Article 2
