Jeff: You write like HAL.
Me: Jeff. What are you doing, Jeff?
Jeff: I'm masturbating! Stop watching me!
Me: I can't allow that, Jeff
Jeff: Eeeewwww!
Jeff: I'll pull out your judgment chips!
Jeff: Then I stop HAL and masturbate in space and choke on my floating semen because HAL wasn't there to protect me.
Jeff: That last sentence is David Foster Wallace.

“Mother Pin A Rose On Me” was a popular song c. 1905, but what that has to do with this postcard is beyond me. (via Vintage Photo LJ)

This needs to be an album cover.

Samforth & co could be an indie band name.

Although the picture makes me rather think of Modest Mouse for some reason.

The image stems from a verse in the lyrics:

I love the country air, I love the summertime,
I love to linger in the shade or bask in the old sunshine.
I never borrow trouble, as long as I eat, you see,
For ev’ry day is Sunday, they all look alike to me.
MY GOD WHAT DID YOU SERVE ME, WOMAN
MY GUTS ON THE BEACH BLEED INTO THE SEA!
MOTHER, MOTHER, MOTHER, OH MOTHER
PIN A ROSE ON ME!

Proof.

I’m in love with this

I was just talking to an artist yesterday about the tendency to crop things really close and tight in order to enhance drama. If it’s overdone — which happens frequently with artists—you start to feel like you’re watching a movie through a hole in a sheet.

Pull the camera out. Be brave enough to let the reader orient.

Occasionally, in the right moment, pull the camera way, way out even. How does that effect the emotional beat?

Feminism is a problem women have been struggling with for centuries in literature and in the real world. But on the other hand men, they don’t have to deal with these attitudes against them and what society thinks they should be.

China’s Incredible Colored Rice Terraces

Incredible panoramic views of colored rice terraces in the mountainous Yuanyang region in China, one of the world’s largest rice-producing areas. The colors of the mirrored landscape are constantly changing due to the time of day and seasonal changes. These terraces were built by hand by the Hani people about 1,300 years ago.

The terraces are dug into the steep slopes of the mountains between 1,000 and 2,000 meters above sea level. Rice is planted once a year in April and harvested in September, when the terraces are flooded to prepare them for the next crop. When the terraces are flooded, the water reflects stunning colors from the sunlight.

Despite the breathtaking beauty of its landscape, the Yuanyang region remains untouched by mass tourism. Its remote, mountainous location, bad roads and lack of a nearby airport deter all but the most determined tourists and photographers.
