"I absolutely hate the word ‘selfie’ and what it’s become, but quite enjoy the idea of the self portrait as an artistic pursuit, if for no other reason then the record it produces. Proof of a life, as it were."

Wintering | Joseph Szymanski, Photographer
I came across this word awhile back, wintering… feels quite descriptive to say the least. I’ve been in a bit of a self imposed hibernation for the last month or so, a sort of torpor in the days…

He was a very dear friend, uncle to my son, at our home nearly every Sunday for dinner. Today is gonna be tough. Our hearts are broken.

For the record, I asked very politely if I could photograph her butt, to which she responded, emphatically "hell yes, post it everywhere..."

My hobbies include:

- Switching between the same three apps for hours
- Not speaking to anyone for days at a time
- Listening to the same songs I've been listening to for 15 years
- Imagining myself in situations that will literally never exist

Great read. As someone who just crossed 4k miles on a class 1 cargo bike, please stop calling these "class 2 and 3" machines anything but what they are, electric motorcycles.

Why do people act like fun only counts if it’s parties, trips, or busy plans? I can stay in bed with snacks, binge random shows, scroll through playlists, stare at the ceiling for hours, and still feel like I’m living my best life

If you go to a museum and don't document and post about it on social media did you really enjoy the experience at all...?

Also CosmoCaixa in Barcelona has a stellar cafe.

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.
