"Boulevard du Temple", taken by Daguerre in 1838 in Paris, was the first photograph of a person. The image shows a street, but because of the over ten minute exposure time the moving traffic does not appear. The exceptions are the man and shoe-shine boy at the bottom left, and two people sitting at a table nearby who stood still long enough to have their images captured.

As soon as I'm left alone
The devil wanders into my soul
And I pretend to myself


I go out
To the old milestone
Insanely expecting
You to come there
Knowing that I wait for you there


Come here at once
Come!
On a night with no moon


Because all of my being is now in pining
What formerly had cheered me
Now seems
Insignificant

Still it’s time that grows in my brain.

Still it’s time that calls me again.

Still I scream when time ticks.

Still I cringe from time’s tricks.

Still I groan for time’s lapse.

But still I’ll try for time perhaps.

Anna Calvi

Anna Calvi’s bringing sexy back, but not the twinkle-toed, Disney-kid hustla variety espoused by Justin Timberlake. Calvi’s is the kind of sexy that sneaks up to you in the dead of night, turns your dreams a scary shade of scarlet and leaves you thrashing ’neath sweat-soaked bedsheets till dawn. http://www.thestoolpigeon.co.uk/
