rambling every day

There is no end of people, words, images, events and intentions that amaze me.

One thing about balancing work/home/grad school/housework/toddler and staying sane is that I’m too tired to read books for real literary pleasure, just to get lost in the made up worlds of brilliant writers. The days of spending 3-4 hours immersed in one story? No way. 
All I know is, when that thesis is done, I’m going on a one week fiction bender. 
I miss literature.

Filters are like auto-pilot for thinking critically, and visually, about one’s surroundings. The obstacles that they remove are precisely the obstacles that promote learning and a more discerning appreciation of what makes a good photo.

Not necessarily. The way that today’s photo apps have made “one-click” filters a breeze maybe encourages such “auto-pilot” behaviour - without having one really practice creativity, choice, deliberation, and composition. But there are still many photographers that  do use filters with discernment and slow intention.

LIFE pays tribute to Johnny Cash on the anniversary of his death with a selection of photos made for a 1969 magazine feature.

Nice.
