This is my favorite part of the movie

the inflection point of the story, the false high before it truly bottoms out

the narrow depth of field, the tight framing, the backlighting, the music

it makes me want to get serious about photography again, to be creative about how I record things, and to have something, somebody to record.

Words to Live By

My mantra for the new year:

Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer — that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.
-Steve Jobs
