Enigmatic, unfinished, ambitious.

Although much of his assigned work was in color, he was never without a camera loaded with black and white film and a small box of extra rolls, which he used to capture what intrigued and fascinated him always: life in progress, people in their environments, enigmatic, unfinished, ambitious. His devotion to photography was lifelong and intense; he saw pictures everywhere. Taking these personal pictures kept his own course steady even as he worked, with equal devotion, on widely varying assignments which often bred new passions and fascinations, as evidenced in his involvement with the intricate beauties of technology. Some of these pictures here come from such assignments. He was there, too.

Podemos ficar horas a falar sobre os deslumbrados.

10 Mile Stereo

Originalmente de "Teen Dream" (Sub Pop, 2010). Beach House.

Tear a moment from the days that carry us on forever
It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we felt it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Love's like a pantheon, it carries on forever

Nada mais

"Uma pessoa que vai à procura de outra pessoa apenas porque compreendeu que a vida não tem nada mais importante que pedir a um ser humano. O livro chama-se Todos os Nomes. Não escritos, todos os nossos nomes estão lá. Os nomes dos vivos e os nomes dos mortos.

Termino. A voz que leu estas páginas quis ser o eco das vozes conjuntas das minhas personagens. Não tenho, a bem dizer, mais voz que a voz que elas tiverem. Perdoai-me se vos pareceu pouco isto que para mim é tudo."

Damnatio memoriae

The sense of the expression damnatio memoriae and of the sanction is to cancel every trace of the person from the life of Rome, as if he had never existed, in order to preserve the honour of the city; in a city that stressed the social appearance, respectability and the pride of being a true Roman as a fundamental requirement of the citizen, it was perhaps the most severe punishment.
