Men still kill one another,
they have not yet understood how they live, why they live; politicians fail to observe that the earth is an entity, yet television (Telehor) has been invented: the “Far Seer”–tomorrow we shall be able to look into the heart of our fellowman, be everywhere and yet be along; illustrated books, newspapers, magazines are printed–in millions. The unambiguousness of the real, the truth in the everyday situation is there for all classes. The “hygiene of the optical,” the health of the visible is slowly filtering through.
László Moholy-Nagy
Although there is a sense in which the camera does indeed capture reality, not just interpret it, photographs are as much an interpretation of the world as paintings and drawings are. Susan Sontag, On Photography

Just wanted you all to know I organized my font library last night. Classifications include “fugly as hell” and “from the type gods”. I’m afraid BCathey’s right when he says “I lead a lame life.”

I am so almost done.

it’s just been one of those days


I woke up this morning from one of those long and complete dreams that leave you feeling empty because you realize it was just a dream. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a long dream that I can remember so many vivid details from. And it made sense. After coming to terms with the  disappointment I had only two viable options: fall back asleep quickly or go do something to take your mind off of it. Although I was drowsy, sleep wasn’t coming to me, so I gave up and got out of bed. I kind of wish I didn’t.

The presence of white space is a symbol of smart, of class, of simplicity, of the essence of refinement

Keith Robertson, “On White Space/Why Less is More”

 I think this is the theme for my blog. Remember: “smart, class, …the essence of refinement.”
