Nobuyoshi Araki: Taking Photographs with the mind’s lens
From the essay:
It may seem like a good idea to take a single camera with a zoom lens when traveling, but it’s too simplistic. It means you can’t decide on the lens you need for your subject. It means you haven’t got…
The building site is a mess of levels, angles and uncovered rebar. The scale is enormous.

The Doctor: Between you and me, in a hundred words, where do you think Van Gogh rates in the history of art?
The Curator: …to me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all. Certainly, the most popular, great painter of all time, the most beloved. His command of color the most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world…no one had ever done it before. Perhaps, no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world’s greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.”

“My grandfather used to say: “Life is astonishingly short.

— Franz Kafka, ‘The Next Village’. This is the entire text of the story. It’s really a fragment rescued by his friend Max Brod, but like many of these it’s usually published on its own. As a paragraph in a larger work it could be funny; as a standalone piece it is haunting. (via mrgan)
