reading watching listening april through july 2023
Hi, I'm gonna attempt doing these a little more frequently and a little less formally.
Did you know I make a note of most media that I read/watch/listen in its entirety? I do! Here is what I've absorbed since April. If you're new these lists of mine, I don't include news, articles, magazines, individual songs, radio, etc. That would be too much.
Note in that reading section the preponderance of books about photography. I'm trying to build some sort of baseline knowledge about this thing that I'm trying to get back into. I enjoy taking pictures, but I've never really bothered to learn anything about it.
