Autumn

While walking earlier today, I noticed a few tall trees in the distance were starting to turn yellow. One tree in particular stands out to me; one changing faster than others, adding a new hue to the once all-green canopy of trees. I look around and start to notice the first...

Edgar

Wearing a distinguished red scarf, the fluffy librarian sits atop a shelf of books.
Of the stacks and stacks of stories and tales resting beneath, he knows all.
Edgar is a quiet, soft fellow — content contemplating closer to the clouds.
He could recite any poem from Dickinson —
or paint a portrait of the quietest, fullest Japanese coffee shop.
Instead, he sits patiently, waiting for the moment when you reach out, asking “what should I read today?”
With a smile always on his face, and without a spoken word, you realise he has a book all ready for you, under his two big, small paws.

Sunset

I was just in time to catch the moment when the sun started to recede behind the hills in the distance, a moment in which two birds flew together and danced into the night, in which there were the last flickers of the golden glow of Evening thinking through the window, in wh...

Questions

Ever since I published “Blogs, websites, and identity”, I have been thinking about and discussing some of the questions I raised in the blog post: why do we take photos, what does it mean to write on the web. The essay feels like a starting point: a framing from which to wor...

Eclipse

Is it possible to be in awe and have no idea to what extent until you look back? I think this is what I feel now, looking back on the solar eclipse that happened an hour and a half ago or so. “Isn’t it amazing that this happens?”, I said to everyone who joined this evening’...

Impressions; museums

On my desk there is a painting of Monet’s “Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies” 1 that I purchased when I was on holiday last year. I wanted to bring something back that I could put in my living space, something that would both be a memory of the trip but also a work of art i...
