PUBLIC MARKS with tag intimite

From there, emerged the idea of photographing each girl alone. I originally let the girls choose the place of their choice and was slowly welcomed into their bedrooms, an area that is theirs, that they can fully control, decorate, trash and be themselves in – within an outside world that is often intimidating.

À NOS AMOURS is a series of intimate short portraits, a filmic fragment of life.

for as long as i can remember i've been a keeper of mementos. shoe boxes full. letters, albums, torn pieces of cocktail napkins, photographs. the latter being amongst the most important. its how i recall the moments, the days, in which they were captured. its how i piece my life together. i don't love photography for the craft or the science...i love it because it allows me to capture the human experience as it unfolds. come as you are...

Once I started drawing on my map, I found myself purposefully making sure that each time I wanted to get from this X to that Y, or that A to the same old B, I would turn a different corner, walk a different street to get there, and find yet another on the way back.

Shifting focus

This is the last new post that I'll be making on this blog. I decided a while back to shift the focus of my web activities, and thought it was time to formally close things off here.

There may still be some activity on this site as I back-fill some old posts from other blogging platforms. My goal is to eventually have this as a (more or less) complete archive of my personal blogging from early 1998 to this year. That's a background project of mine that I plan on allocating a bit more time to in 2010.

A huge thanks to Karl Dubost for hosting this blog for so long. In addition to providing this infrastructure, Karl has supported and inspired me in more ways then he may realize. That you are reading this today is due in no small part to him, so you can thank (or blame!) him.

The first word that occurs to me is "motherlove". But perhaps a better term would be "ambient impersonal tenderness". Japan is a society shockingly full of ambient impersonal tenderness, overlapping with tender-mindedness, shading into tweeness.

De sorte qu’Internet est devenu, concernant cette question de la transmission esthétique, exactement l’inverse de ce qu’il était: un espace dont il faut échapper, où il ne faut pas être.

A strange phenomenon across public mapping services is what could be called the "Arial syndrome".

I like this because it's fast and cheap and no one asked Paul to make his code any more complicated than it needed it to be for him or fall in to the rabbit hole of abstraction;
