What a great week. What a great person. Existential :D

i was once translating at business appointments. after an hour I was eager to kill myself, so boring they were.

whereas here, 10 am - 6 pm nonstop of excellent food for brains, and no tiredness at all!




mistype of the day:
writing an sms to my friend: "come down to my room for eating a movie and watching tangerines!"

beautiful

"Stupid Girl"



by Zoya Kireeva

my sweet italian friend

we were true Portland "Loffias" who'd do math analysis homework in front of the professor (and still get an A ^^)
and we still maintain this lazy nerd brand, she in London, me in Moscow.

ti voglio bene, Anny!

photographers say

Ralph Gibson:
- when you take pictures in b/w you make 3 steps away from reality: you eliminate color, contract size, come from 3D to 2D. That's why blac&white photography looks more drammatic, cause you make 3 steps away from reality.

Eugene Smith:
- What's use of depth-of-field if there is no deep emotions?

Bill Brandt:
- The distinctive feature of a phorographer is that he looks more intensively at things than other people. He must preserve eye of a child who looks at the world for the first time, or of a traveller who enters a country he's never been to before.

beauty

Lilian Bassman,
born in 1917 (!)
she was one of those who trended and directed fashion photography.
negatives of these pictures were found in her old studio in the garbage bags.
they were revived.

this totally reflects my feeling of woman's beauty and how it should be captured on a still image.

she still lives and still creates. admirable!

the Walrus

absolutely wonderful cartoon about a 14 year-old who has interviewed John Lennon. 

poor iPhone

Hop1800 brings back the idea of a phone to be just a phone.

costs 10 bucks, has no screen >>>no sms, no games, no address book, only talk. has a polyphonic ringer and tactile keyboard for blind people. I guess it also features a function of developing memory on phone numbers :D
