Alan Finkel on Engineering:

engineering is the art of optimisation, it's not the pursuit of perfection, certainly not at the other extreme - the acceptance of compromise

Mathew Hayman on Luck:

I just played the game and got lucky

via Myth Busters: the Mathew Hayman Paris-Roubaix edition by SBS.

We were in Port Augusta overnight on our from Adelaide to Wilpena in the Flinders Ranges. Always try to watch Paris-Roubaix and it was great to see Mathew win on the final lap in velodrome. Saw Stuart O'Grady's win back in 2008 and so glad that I stayed up and watched him play the game and create his own special bit of luck.

Maggie Barrett on Sadness:

be aware of the seduction of sadness. [..] There is much to feel sad about during the course of life, and certainly one shouldn’t mask it, but neither should one wear sadness too long lest it become its own mask.

On Photography - Jorg Colberg (Mon 01 Jul 2013)

Jorg Colberg (*) writes On Photography (*):

When telling a story with photographs, the idea is not to tell the actual, completely convincing story. Photography simply can’t do that. What it can do, however, is to tell a story that has enough holes in it for us to believe it, a story that lacks enough specificity to be believable – just like life, which, after all, usually is one somewhat messy, not so obvious affair

Have a few shots of this scene from another day. The graffiti tags are like a kind of colorful calligraphy with the grey painted doors providing the canvas. Did not have my S95 today so the iPhone was called upon for the photo above.
