01. Actually I like the graininess and the way the colors bleed into vertical rays, though the jpeg artifacting is harder to talk myself into. However, the images do look kind of nice in print. I repent.

More Thomas Browne, this time “Of the right and left Hand.”

A beautiful journal by David Kilpatrick.

Two years of inhuman species.

It’s spring and it’s raining. Everything looks dirty.

I still have Jillian Tamaki’s long ago free wood panel image on my Mac’s (Culatello’s, that is) desktop. I go and look at her work when I am frightened by color… That, for obscure reasons, reminds me of Ruth Gwily too. More lovely work: Of Life and Death.

Mmm, scanwiches.

I’m quite happy with the iphone as camera these days. Since I often still carry or trail the baby and some baby-related equipment when I leave the house (Actually that’s pretty optimistic. In over a year I still haven’t figured out that I am supposed to bring little adorably shaped snack containers, spare diapers, squeaky toys, sundry bottles of water, changes of clothes, and a lot of other things I’m probably forgetting. I get all caught up congratulating myself for remembering my keys and phone, assuming I do.) I just can’t manage my serviceable Nikon any longer, so despite being so ripe they were falling off the picture trees, staining my clothing, and squishing underfoot; pictures were not being taken/picked, taken home and eaten, pickled, or baked into pies. And now they are. I wish they were larger and a fancier format, and hence more printable,01 but mostly I like the limitations. I like the highly specific little apps that generate such a capricious and chronologically identifiable species of image. I like that those apps are so short lived that the quality of the image will tell me as much about my life right now as will the subject.
