It is technically Sunday. Only three hours and ten minutes into Sunday, but still ultimately Sunday. I didn’t post this past Wednesday, so I figure I’m going to shotgun first Sunday post. So something really great happened today.
Sorry for those of you who deal with me in person and have to listen to me bark about Radiolab constantly, but for the rest of you(!): Robert Krulwich of Radiolab gave the 2008 CalTech commencement speech, titled Tell Me A Story. I get really overwhelmed and excited and assuming when I talk about math/science/curiosity things, so I won’t even try to paraphrase it. Not to mention it’s worth the listen and I’d much rather not be responsible for a shotty book report of it. So listen to it.
Today I woke up… and I wanted to photograph. That hasn’t happened in a really long time. It seems really simple and unimportant but I started to lose photography and art. My math half was hands down winning. So today there was a tug-of-war happening in my brain again, and it was the best feeling I’ve had in a really long time. And I think that’s really important, to feel photographs. Maybe just to feel? I think I’m trying to write a shotty book report. Listen to Robert Krulwich’s speech. Happy sunday.
i like your photographs a lot. just a side note darling
A good book to read…
Karin Knorr Cetina’s “Epistemic Cultures: how the sciences make knowledge”
Objectivity and subjectivity are such loaded, dumb binary concepts that there is no point in striving toward either one in any kind of field, art or science. Krulwich is alright by me, the only thing we should strive for is a compelling authenticity.
