BREAKING NEWS The 2026 #NobelPrize in Literature is awarded to the Canadian author Anne Carson, “for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature.”

Why is it never the cruelty that changes people’s minds???? So it’s fine to mindlessly detain, neglect and kill immigrants but damn if the price of gas goes up, that’s it!

Super excited for my next #photography course, The Book: As an Object & As an Idea at the Penumbra Foundation.

that this is considered entertaining answers why people don't seem to my Trump admin cruelty but get pissed off over gas prices.

People in the #leica world know DAG and YYe, for repairs of older cameras. It's not a growing discipline, unfortunately. Here's a nice profile I recently found of YYe: vimeo.com/710119524?sh...

Humans are doing to humans with AI what humans have always done to animals: treat them as expendable to satisfy their unquenchable thirst for dominance over everything. Society didn't heed the warnings over climate change so I doubt these warnings will have any impact.

Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World

"The Kármán Line" is kind of brilliant 📽️

Some really great #photography talks coming up this fall.

Willem Dafoe seems like a delightful person. Late Fame, which we saw at Walter Reade Theater with director and actors present) was a bit painful to watch but very good. 📽️

Before the 5th anniversary of the #Taliban takeover of #Afghanistan & of #Afghan women's heroic resistance I'm honored to share a new International Declaration on #GenderApartheid produced by Afghan-int'l cooperation & signed by 55 global experts genderapartheiddeclaration.org 1/7 Please share

New book revisits Gordon Parks’ groundbreaking photography in ‘A Harlem Family’ amsterdamnews.com/news/2026/08...

Really love this work. I'm taking a #photography class with Yudzon starting next week.

Cloudflare's WARP app is a good baseline replacement and is not limited to Safari traffic. one.one.one.one

and it's heartbreaking right now...

The only funerals I've ever watched were of Irish people: Heaney, MacGowan, Hansard. A certain beauty in their people , poetry and music.

Just got my copy in the mail!

Could be quite an interesting event, given her excoriating review. The Odyssey + Q&A with Translator and Professor Emily Wilson 📽️ burnsfilmcenter.org/booking/the-...

Nice overview of Atmosphere. Some concepts, like "Let's say an app stops serving you...A competitor will emerge and you can just start using that app instead" are unrealistic at the moment, but it's early days!

this is today at 12 eastern

From the Yale Art Gallery.

absolutely brilliant

Recommended, just based on how great her other books are.

“They didn't understand it was satire in the beginning until the end,” Casa Grande, Arizona resident Jacob Petrosky told 404 Media. “They were not happy, they were very upset.”

Conversation around The Odyssey reminds me of Christopher Logue's "War Music, an Account of the Iliad." There are tanks and uzis and Shakespeare references. It was a "reimagining" for Logue's era, and well regarded. Whether it works for you is one thing, but its fidelity is unimportant, in my view.

I hadn't intended to take any #photography classes over the summer, but couldn't pass up Janelle Lynch's "Creating Beyond Convention I with Alex Yudzon" I studied with Janelle earlier this year and it was really impactful.

Park Chan-wook's #photography exhibition. Love it when movie people are still-photography people, too. He carries a #Leica camera with him everywhere he goes and doesn't really connect filmmaking to his photography. To him they represents polar opposites between the created world and found world.

Online talk: Closer Look: "Hujar’s Contact Sheets" from the Morgan Library in NYC, associated with the exhibition that runs through October. #photography

being a billionaire and on the internet all day is crazy to me. if i had even five million dollars, you would not find me online whatsoever.

Giglio runs a program called "The Grammar of #Photography" and this video gives an overview or starting point for his work. www.grammarofphotography.com

Rose of Nevada is very much my kind of movie. It felt like it could have been a sequence of still photos within its 24FPS. Really beautifully shot on 16mm (though we saw it DCP) in a tightly wound story, relying on story and what you can do with camera and audio to evoke its emotions. 📽️

Atproto reminds me of the early days of Jamstack.

Just signed up!

Important conversation on AI by two brilliant people, Lina Khan interviewed by Paul Krugman.

@economist.com has been platforming the worst people in the world, and, frankly, just let them spew their lies without serious pushback.

Going to see "Rose of Nevada" tonight at IFC. 📽️

Good points, but it IS Nolan’s Odyssey.
