Foster/Ravenswood
Remember Andersonville? I’ve revised my borders, realtors bedamned. I haven’t decided about north, but Foster’s as far south as I’m goin.

Coolest photography project ever.
The last one’s very powerful actually.
After seeing the last one, I couldn’t resist and had to reblog.

Colossal did a lil feature on some of my slush gifs. Neato!
Imagine an always-on 360 degree HD wearable video camera. With a constant feed of all that she might see, the photographer is freed from instant reaction to the Decisive Moment, and then only faced with the Decisive Area to be in, and perhaps the Decisive Angle. Evolve this further into a…

I went to the damndest store I ever saw with my son and my daughter in law shortly after my granddaughter was born. Had to be the biggest furniture store in the world. Showroom floor with these…
A while back, I said (to myself, ha) that love was physiology, psychology (which is part and parcel, of course), and something else. Wait, here it is: “Love is biology and psychology and something else in each individual’s force of will. You cannot ignore the biology and the psychology and expect the something else to save you.” Today, I have an idea about what the “something else” is: the willingness to perform emotional feats of strength. The willingness to grow one’s “heart” by trying to understand what is needed and provide just that. Without this, you can have something commonly referred to as love. Technically love. Common. Maybe even vulgar, since I’m digging on that word right now. So, what? What does that lack? Longevity? Is the problem with this that it only allows love to last as long as biology has deemed adequate for procreation? I do think that’s at least part of the problem. We can use our intent to spur biology; to extend the life cycle of attraction and to infuse attachment with awareness. When people say love is work, and when other people say love shouldn’t be that hard, both sides are right. Technically, running is work, and biking is work, and dancing is work. But you build up the muscle for it, and then it is physical mastery and joyful flexing that you wouldn’t want to do without.
The something else is the willingness to practice.
