Monday Midway

after a week of reading… midnight day way… I am yet to finish in clarity, with meaning. Ideas don’t stack as well as books.

A progress from the table. These (unwritten) things were prompted by Wall’s text.

it started with an essay from this book

which lead to these books

until now, I’ve piled more on the table.

made pages of notes. Have bogged myself down.

oh well, this isn’t going to save me either.

which, I suppose, is why, occasionally, I divert myself with technical topic. They have an obvious ending.

Maybe just water the garden. Think about why seeds become more. Plant and seed again.

tech Tuesday: Visual Mind

Diffusion sheets as dodging devices. Frederick Sommer. Key thinker. And he was very much a thinker; about photography in the specific and in the other bigger container.

Art is not arbitrary. A fine painting is not there by accident; it is not arrived at by chance. We are sensitive to tonalities.
The smallest modification of tonality affects structure. Some things have to be rather large, but elegance is the presentation of things in their minimum dimensions
Frederick Sommer General Aesthetics, 1979
