Happy World Photography Day! One of my fav photographs (young Javanese woman in Yogyakarta circa 1885) by one of my fav photographers (Kassian Céphas, Javanese, 1845–1912) on the cover of one of my fav books about photography (a history of early photography in Indonesia), featuring Tommy the cat. ♥

I am co-organising and moderating a talk on photography and A.I.—maybe it’s a bit cliché, but it is still necessary to talk about, as the conversation (in local context) so far has been dominated by opinions like “A.I. is killing photography”. A.I. is so much more. Photography is also so much more.

My cat came home tonight after being missing for 11 days. I thought I had lost him. But he’s back now. He got very thin, probably hasn’t eaten all these days. He directly asked for food and ate a lot. No wounds. Now I’m afraid to let him out of the house, fearing he’ll be gone for a long time again.

Susan Sontag admitted in 1978 that “On Photography” (1977) is not about photography, while also defended it as not against photography. She claimed that it is about how capitalist industrial society uses photography and its implications.

I’ve been joining this wonderful 24-hour symposium on and off since this morning. Many inspiring presentations and many more to come, as it’s only been 11 hours now. (It’s been raining almost all day where I live anyway, so better stay at home.)

I have been looking forward for this conference, which comes after three worskhop sessions since earlier this year. I presented in a roundtable discussion during the first workshop back in March, and attended (via Zoom) the two following workshops. This weekend, I am joining the conference via Zoom.
