The mayor pulled a hat-trick. Jumped the frying pan by quitting the police board. Announced her tax cap. Passed the buck and got some public praise for doing it.

Interesting times indeed.

I find imperfections often make for better photography. "Quality" in street photography is subjective, and true beauty, character, and emotional connection can emerge from imperfections. This is a great example. It caries a strong emotion. It is authentic. Relatable. Genuine. Wabi-sabi!

Don't live your life as if it's your last day. Live it as if it's your first. Be curious. SEE things as if seeing them for the first time. It not only makes for being a better photographer, it makes for being a better human.

A remarkable love story. Do you remember the famous MacKenzie-Childs ceramic art designer store of NYC? This is a short documentary interviewing Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs who live on this Ferry boat. I'm an old softy, but I suggest keeping tissues nearby.

She seems to be avoiding doing the real work necessary. That's a pattern. But it's more than just being lazy... What is it really? Why is she dodging her responsibilities? It's very troubling and disappointing.

顔 - The Japanese say you have three faces. The first face, you show to the world. The second face, you show to your close friends, and your family. The third face, you never show anyone.
