Kage 26—and a craft project
It lives: there's a brand new run of stories scheduled on kagecollective.com. We started last Thursday with Robert Catto's Reframing Spain, where he used the X-H2's framing guidelines to mimic his experience from a previous visit to the country, twelve years earlier, shot with a Hasselblad X-Pan:
“I wanted to find what I had lost along the way, give myself a different way to see the world—to revisit not just Spain, but the way of seeing I’d had once before.”
He's also written a companion lens review on his website. Good stuff.
Next up: my streak of darkly introspective essays continues with This Impermanent Life (coming February 19th). More cool stories ahead from everyone as well so, check it out if you get a chance.
This one's for Matt (following his comment on A Pledge To Intentional Wonderment): presenting my handmade 3x5 card holder in all its glory…
Tada!
Look, an artisan I am not. No delusions here. This was the old necessity is the mother of invention at play—part impatience, part inability to find what I was looking for. I'm using 3x5 cards for all sorts of purposes these days: a monthly calendar, DO and TRACK cards that slip into my Traveler's Notebook... all meant to wean me off the near-constant reliance on electronic devices.
So I made this small, unintrusive desktop holder, out of a leftover piece of wood. I trimmed it to size, angled the saw to cut a slit, and finished it off with four adhesive rubber feet. Project duration (from "hey, maybe I can make this myself" to sitting on my desk): fifteen minutes.
Ok, possibly closer to ten.
I’m not opening an Etsy shop anytime soon—but this little thingy does make me smile.
Later :)
