Some great nuggets in this talk with Tim Carpenter and Jason Lee. Photography is showing how you make sense of the world. Heidegger said: it’s not what we know about the world that’s really ourselves, it’s our habits and our inclinations, and the way we move through it; that’s who we really are.

When I pulled into the parking lot (reluctantly, as I loathe Dollar General) to buy some cups, this scene got me incredibly excited. I snapped a few frames out my window with the trusty Ricoh, and here we are, discussing it on the internet a week later.

Will it work as well in b/w? Likely not. Luckily I’m a color junkie.
