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.

He just got home. I was very surprised. I thought I had lost him.

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.

I missed a number of webinars because I couldn’t stay up past midnight lately. Internet and video conference platforms have enabled me attend talks held half the world away (network connections have also greatly improved), but time difference is still a huge issue. # notcomplaining # justsaying

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.

“Without a clear plan, a photographer’s archive can become a burden rather than a legacy, leaving heirs — spouses, children or executors — to navigate complex decisions about storage, access and preservation.” On the crisis that is facing photographic archives: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

As photographers try to find homes for their work, archives are vanishing, especially in local journalism.

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.)

One of the keys to visual literacy is slow looking. So spend some time to really look at this iconic photograph of Paris by Henri Cartier-Bresson and see what it is about, what makes it a good picture, and how you can put a meaning to it. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Can You Spend 10 Minutes With This Photo by Henri Cartier-Bresson?

We’d like you to look at one piece of art for 10 minutes, uninterrupted.

I’ve found myself listening to the radio again lately. From what I’m listening to, I guess not much have changed in the radio scene, in the age of music streaming and podcast.

Yeah I guess one cannot lie to (or deny) one’s own subconscious. The dream indicates that I am still traumatised after my laptop was stolen, however I try to move on and continue working with a new laptop.

“In spite of having unpacked and packed up so many libraries […], I was never truly a librarian. My libraries […] lacked a catalogue, the sections were madly idiosyncratic, the order haphazard, […] and yet I always knew how to find a book because the only user was myself.” — Alberto Manguel, 2018

It is hard not to think that I don’t have to start all over again if I hadn’t lost what I had been working on. But ya I guess the more positive way to look at it is that I can start afresh. Thank you, Michelle!

Meanwhile, I am trying to get back to my other writings. It feels heavy to start again, to be honest, after losing my working drafts as my laptop was stolen three months ago.

I have sent the book manuscript I edited back to the writer and the publisher. If needed, there will be one final round of editing. If everything looks good, the draft will go forward to design phase.
