“On Photography” is probably my favorite book about the same subject, I read the « câmera lucida» more than I probably should, and yet, Sontag’s book caught me more. With the death of Salgado, whom she dislike and I admire, time to read her last essay “Regarding the Pain of Others”.

Coisa mais linda de se escrever! “Oportunidade única de louvar todos que se sacrificam em ter uma vida longeva, a fim de contribuir para o aprimoramento do conhecimento e do processo civilizatório, como é o caso de Pierre Verger que só deixou o corpo físico aos 93 anos” Mãe Stella de Oxossi.

GRAEBER, David. There Never Was a West: Or, Democracy Emerges From the Spaces In Between. 2007. theanarchistlibrary.org/library/davi...
For the last two hundred years, democrats have been trying to graft ideals of popular self-governance onto the coercive apparatus of the state. In the end, the project is simply unworkable. States cannot, by their nature, ever truly be democratized. They are, after all, basically ways of organizing violence. The American Federalists were being quite realistic when they argued that democracy is inconsistent with a society based on inequalities of wealth; since, in order to protect wealth, one needs an apparatus of coercion to keep down the very “mob” that democracy would empower.

Daniel Craig about James Bond. The New Yorker
No, I have always been interested in it. I would say one of my biggest reservations about playing [Bond] would be the construct of masculinity. It was often very laughable, but you can’t mock it and expect it to work. You have to buy into it.
I mean, the vulnerability of human beings is always very interesting to me. We’re all vulnerable. It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter how tough you are, everybody’s vulnerable. But it’s how boys are brought up, how men are expected to behave, how someone like Burroughs was expected to behave.

He’s on the hunt for lust, for love, for whatever. He wants to fuck. He wants to fall in love. He wants everything that city can give him. So he’s a kind of artificial human being walking around, maybe.

Passei um bom tempo sem conseguir tirar retratos. Fazia fotos, até de pessoas, mas acanhadas. Tinha perdido o chegar perto, dizer oi e pedir a foto. Nessa ida à Índia em 2017, consegui novamente ser retratista. Essa aqui, foi o resultado dessas primeiras conversas. #portrait #india #travelphoto

AMIN,Samir: Eurocentrism, 2004
In the right-wing libertarian version, ethics disappear because human beings, if they make their history properly, are authorized to make it by behaving as if they were in the jungle: they are not responsible for the consequences of their acts, in particular any inequalities they intensify, which are even welcome. Yet, without responsibility there can be no ethics. It matters little then that some, many even, of these right-wing libertarians claim to be Christian believers. Their religion is, in reality, amoral and tends even to become a simple social convention, hardly more than the expression of a singular community. This is perhaps a possible interpretation of religion, but it remains questionable to say the least.

From airplane mode.
My thoughts kept circling back to that baby elephant whose skeleton we saw on our first walk. The way its heart must have lurched when it felt the claws of the tiger, the weight of its hunger. And at first, every single one of my thoughts was about feeling sorry for the baby elephant. But then I started weighing the cuteness of baby elephants against the tiger’s need to eat. How absurd it is to use the metrics of sympathy to understand this encounter. And even more absurd was whatever it was that made me think my opinion on this was important. Nature is indifferent to the cuteness of baby elephants and the overwrought emotions of biophobes.

Mujica, Antônio Cândido e David Graeber. Três reflexões que vem bem a calhar quando se fala em jornadas de trabalho escravizantes como a #6x1
Imagem de Pepe Mujica com os seguintes dizeres: PEPE MUJICA, ex-presidente do Uruguai
'A vida escapa e se vai minuto a minuto, e não podem ir ao supermercado comprar mais vida.
Então, lutem para dar conteúdo a ela.Imagem de Antônio Cândido com os seguintes dizeres: “02
"Temos de entender que tempo não é dinheiro. Essa é uma brutalidade que o capitalismo faz, como se o capitalismo fosse o senhor do tempo. Tempo não é dinheiro. Tempo é o tecido da nossa vida."
Antonio Candido, professor universitário, critico literário e ensaísta (1918-2017)”Imagem de uma mulher jovem em frente a um computador, mão no rosto em desolação e os seguintes dizeres:” "Our society is addicted to work. If there's anything the left and right both seem to agree on, it's that jobs are good. Everyone should have a job. Work is our badge of moral citizenship.
We seem to have convinced ourselves as a society anyone who isn't working harder than they would like to be working, at something they don't enjoy, is a bad, unworthy person.
As a result, work comes to absorb ever greater proportions of our energy and time yet much of this work is entirely pointless."
(From David Graeber's To save the world, we're going to have to stop working)

"Wonder emerges from a willingness to see the other not as something to be explained but as something that cannot be fully understood within the limitations of the traveler’s subjectivity" HABIB, Shahbaz. Airplane Mode.
Reading this, I am reminded of how distinctly this paradigm of wonder—of recognizing the unknowability of the world—distinguishes itself from the paradigm of pseudiscovery. Wonder emerges from a willingness to see the other not as something to be explained but as something that cannot be fully understood within the limitations of the traveler’s subjectivit

A um mês atrás, fiz fotos no Pantanal. Claro, há várias National Geographic, impossível ali não tê-las. Mas, expô-las seria mostrar algo que não vi; um ecossistema saudável. Saca foi o que vivi a maior parte do tempo. Seca e fumaça. Essas quatro então dizem melhor a minha experiência na região.
