In 2010 I read Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger. I wrote down these words in my notes:
tangerine
rancor
avidly
ablation
non-sequitur
dour
stolid
aloofy
oar
to muss up
poignant
schnorrer
hold forth
expound
conceit
sinewy
I found a scribble in one of my 2019 notebooks:
The Problem with Photography:
What do I consider a good photograph:
A still moment, taken out of context. Good photos leave a lot of room for interpretation. That’s why I don’t think it’s necessary to add date and location to a photo. I like images for the image, not for documentation.
Instagram leaves no time for interpretation. Next photo …
New Year’s Day was a sunny day, finally. A managed an afternoon photo trip in the area, covering four quadrants in Heemskerk.
These picture here are from the 19W-F21 area. They best reflect it was still wet everywhere from days of rain, with low hanging clouds, shards of fog over the fields and shallow and pale light. A day that starts late at 10.00 and already begins to vanish at 14.00.
This list of 2020-happy-things from the hugely creative Austin Kleon can keep me busy for weeks.
His newsletter is great.
