Friends, I'm looking for a Fuji GFX medium format digital camera to do some macro photography with over the next month for an art project.
If you have a camera body or know someone who does I'd love to work out a trade or deal to borrow it for a bit. DMs are open =)

The BUSY plots by James Merrill look incredible in person.
They’re like tiny, complex cityscapes nested as tightly as Rube Goldberg machines.

The ENO documentary streams today for 24 hours with six different versions, special guests, Eno DJ sets, and I'm sure some fun surprises. Starts at noon today.
I've seen this movie four times already in a theater. It's kind of amazing that I want to come back for more.

We'll also be world premiering “It’s All Light: Laraaji at Nine Orchard”, a concert film of Laraaji featuring visuals by Liquid Light Lab. “It’s All Light” will screen at least twice during the livestream event. Plus we’ll have conversations with Brian Eno and members of the film team, Eno music DJ sets, and more.

ENO version 4.122 - 9pm

One of the best things about the holidays when your inbox gets quiet: in the last two weeks I read six books (three physical and three on audio).
Magical things happen when you wake up every morning and spend time digging deep into one of your curiosities.
