makenosound, quoting Michael Honey:
“I go for a run one or twice a week, on the hill behind our home. There are three decent uphill sections to get the heart pumping and corresponding downhills for contemplation of the mountains and all kinds of thinking. We think of doing our best as if it’s a singular act. But it isn’t about the heroic effort at the end. A minute’s sprint in a half-hour run...

tip for any Notations users who like big photos...
If you happen to be using my free and awesome Tumblr theme, Notations, you can put the following in the Custom CSS field of the Advanced tab to make your theme wider and even more glorious for photos:
#Main {width:870px;}
.Post .Photo img {max-width:100%;}
Just pick whatever width seems good to you. Mine is set as indicated and it looks rather smashing I must say. (You’ll want to...

It’s one thing to ‘like movies,’ it is another thing to understand the nuance of the art-form and appreciate the nature of it beyond simply being a great way to waste an evening on Netflix. This great summary/review actually made me all the more interested to see this film. I’m a huge fan of Aronofsky. To me, he seems a...
On Calling Yourself A "Photographer"
jamesnord:
I was answering some interview questions the other day and someone asked me when I first felt like a photographer, when I became part of the “club”. I sat on the question for a couple of days.
