I’ve been projectless for a while. I want some new project that I can devote some somewhat serious and vaguely focussed time into over the next month or two. Maybe involving photography, but I’d like to devote some time to typography — a field that I’ve always been innately fascinated by, though more so recently …

Wolfe and Gladwell Similarities
Turns out that I can get a lot of reading done in the downtime I have between job applications, photography assignments, and tie making endeavours. I’ve been finding some quite interesting books all over the house, and this week’s fascination has been on Tom Wolfe’s Hooking Up — a collection of essays, novellas and opinion …

Goodbye 35
Not that I was getting bored of my 35mm lens, in fact I really like some of the pictures that I was producing using it. But I’ve decided to give it up and move on. I bought it about a year and a half ago, as something other than a 50mm for my crop body …
