Photos I've taken, links I want to share, and a documentary about building a chair
Another day, another morning spent cultivating my sense of awe and wonder :)
I do not love going to work, but I love being on my bike, riding towards the sunrise every morning. Rubbernecking the sky is far and away the most dangerous daily practice I engage in. May I retain the privilege of doing so!!
Photographs
Here are some pictures I’ve taken recently that I like. Everything was shot on an Olympus E-M5, but with a variety of prime lenses- 28mm, 50mm, or 100mm. If photography is your thing, I welcome feedback! I’m just kinda winging it out there, and the editing process is largely beyond me.

A Documentary
Brian Boggs is a legendary chair maker. This documentary shows his process of harvesting bark for weaving seats, and his technique for weaving. I could watch him talk about this for many more hours. Sona and I have watched many videos of people making chairs by hand recently. In fact, when she asks to watch something, and I say no, her go-to first tactic is to say “Maybe we could watch someone build a chair??”.
She knows me all too well.
