Thanks, RW, for the note! I do love your site! So happy you're back at it, and boy are you. Drop me a "real" note some time, if you can, as I'd love to pick your Photoshop cropping brain more!
I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave's a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that's what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it. — Joan Didion
Your site is fascinating, a pleasure to follow. Eclecticism with a point, or better, a montage of ideas.
ReplyDeleteThought you might like to see our recent post on Public Enemies, as I believe it resonates with your thoughts here.

ReplyDeleteAlso, here's a clickable link to RW's new _Public Enemies_ post. It's fabulous. "Granular," indeed: it implies sound as much as micro observation.
