I’ve started to use Tumblr, a tumblelog, instead of this blog. It has a much simplr (ha) format than this. Eventually I will probably incorporate it into the main site if I continue to use it.

A tumblelog (also known as a tlog or tumblog) is a variation of a blog that favors short-form, mixed-media posts over the longer editorial posts frequently associated with blogging. Common post formats found on tumblelogs include links, photos, quotes, dialogues, and video. Unlike blogs, tumblelogs are frequently used to share the author’s creations, discoveries, or experiences while providing little or no commentary.

“Il semble que la perfection soit atteinte non quand il n’y a plus rien à ajouter, mais quand il n’y a plus rien à retrancher.”

(In anything at all, perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away.)

- Antoine de Saint Exupery, Terre des Hommes (1939)

It’s been a while, and sadly I’m going to come back with a photo nerd post. Phase One has announced a new digital back: the P65+. Ultra-large 60 megapixel images from the first full-frame 6×4.5 sensor.

There is such a delicate line between being original and being accepted.

Here’s a cute baby picture though!

Here is Owen’s one month picture (even though he’ll be two months old in three days):

Everyone seems to love New York so much… it’s making me really not like New York.

If you’ve never hated it, it probably isn’t that great.
