morganautumn:

Madi Diaz’s new record is $5 at Amazon this month, and it’s well worth it. I haven’t listened to anything else in the past week.

Here’s my chest tattoo that I got yesterday afternoon from Ian White. It’s a black ‘n grey piece… the redness will fade over the next month.

“Repeating easy tasks again and again gets you not very far. Attacking only steep cliffs where no progress is made isn’t particularly effective either. No, the best path is an endless series of difficult (but achievable) hills.”

“

Q: What’s the best way to finish a project?

A: It’s just work, work, work. You can be the most gifted person in the world, but if you don’t work, you don’t have any results. So if you want to do things, then you have to do them, just for the joy of doing it, not for becoming famous, not for this, not for that.

“… I just want to shake them and tell them to photograph whatever they want. I tell them to pretend that they have a museum in their basement. It is locked and they are the only person with a key. I tell them to close their eyes and imagine what pictures they see down there. It can be anything, just be honest. Then make those pictures.”

PRINT YOUR WORK!!! AND PRINT ‘EM BIG!!!

The smallest image here is 8” x 10” and the largest is 16” x 20”. When you can hold and see it in person, a photograph is simply amazing.

the phone stack / thanks niall!

We usually take a pretty hard line against phones at dinner, but a new trick just popped up that gives us hope for the future. It’s called a phone stack, and it’s a buzzing, flashing reminder of every phone-etiquette rule the world seems to have forgotten.

It works like this: as you arrive, each person places their phone facedown in the center of the table. (If you’re feeling theatrical, you can go for a stack like this one, but it’s not required.) As the meal goes on, you’ll hear various texts and emails arriving… and you’ll do absolutely nothing. You’ll face temptation—maybe even a few involuntary reaches toward the middle of the table—but you’ll be bound by the single, all-important rule of the phone stack. Whoever picks up their phone is footing the bill.
