On Introspection - William Deresiewicz (Oct 2009)

Untitlted - Zurich (Thu 25 Sep 2014)

William Deresiewicz on Introspection:

Introspection means talking to yourself, and one of the best ways of talking to yourself is by talking to another person. One other person you can trust, one other person to whom you can unfold your soul. One other person you feel safe enough with to allow you to acknowledge things—to acknowledge things to yourself — that you otherwise can’t. Doubts you aren’t supposed to have, questions you aren’t supposed to ask. Feelings or opinions that would get you laughed at by the group or reprimanded by the authorities.

This is what we call thinking out loud, discovering what you believe in the course of articulating it.

Jeffrey Ladd (*) writes (*) on Photography (*):

A photograph should be more interesting than the subject (*) and transcend (*) its obviousness.

As Jorg Colberg (*) writes:

Print this out, and hang it in a place where you’ll always see it.

Done.

Kirk Tuck (*) writes Inspiration (*):

The general population now uses imaging as a kind of language. That's the nature of the kinds of working images they want and use in their personal lives. It's a living language.

Intersection - Red / Yellow Crossing - Geneva / Switzerland (Fri 19 Aug 2005)
Just another simple Intersection photo - liked the red and yellow combination which seemed to be a Swiss thing. The cracks in the road and tyre marks on the yellow crossings makes this one, for me at least.

On Obliquity - The Bullet Proof Musician (Sun 06 May 2012)

Joanne and Jenny (looking back) - Jungfrau / Switzerland (Wed 17 Aug 2005)
Dr. Noa Kageyama (*) writes (*) on obliquity (*):

See what happens when you focus more on making yourself happy with your performances, and being less concerned with trying to gauge what others may or may not think. Start small if need be, and in low-pressure situations to begin with, but then expand the experiment as you gain confidence and trust in yourself.

Well worth the read and something to remember.
