Thinking about design and photography and what is so attractive.To me that is the different way of observing the world.I am in my head most of the day, paying attention to the observable world around me. To people, yes, bit not to what the world looks like.Design and photography make me see the world totally differently.What it claims, is that looking at the world through the eyes of design could make the world better. In terms of quality of what humans produce, longevity, sustainability. But also in term of personal life.

Living with designed artifacts seems to improve your presence, make you more present when making buying decisions.

Back to Nowhere – dirtyharrry

I received this great photo book yesterday. Back to Nowhere by dirtyharrry. The photobook is a twin book of 'Warn'd in Vain'. Dirtyharrry aka Charalampos Kydonakis has a unique styles of photography. It might be an acquired taste, but a feast to me.

Also a great blog.



It’s OK

“Once a photographer has learned a few ‘tricks’, they are presented with a choice: keep chasing gimmicks or formulas, or look deeper. It’s OK to be lost. It’s OK not to know what you’re doing. It’s OK to fail. It’s absolutely fine to feel insecure about your work. In fact, all of these things are very cool because they state very loudly that a person is trying, striving, exploring and searching in a very personal sense…. call it what you will.”
