the happenstance quadrille

My back catalog is full of mistakes like these, which were especially rampant when my primary camera was a LOMO LC-A. These photographs are like dreams that have […]

It was originally in Fushimi, in the southern part of Kyoto, but in 1667 the temple was moved to its current location near […]

Valéry, who had a fine eye for the cluster of symptoms called “civilization,” has characterized one of the pertinent facts. “The inhabitant of the great urban centers,” he writes, “reverts to a state of savagery — that is, of isolation.
