not even a dilemma but an exercise in patience

waiting to find the right person and not jump onto the wrong train because it is there, ready and waiting. The unignorable itch, the involuntary twitch. stay put. fight yourself until the right moment comes and you're ready to strike.

nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind

Russia 1910-11

Photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) undertook a photographic survey of the Russian Empire with the support of Tsar Nicholas II. He used a specialized camera to capture three black and white images in fairly quick succession, using red, green and blue filters, allowing them to later be recombined and projected with filtered lanterns to show near true color images. The high quality of the images, combined with the bright colors, make it difficult for viewers to believe that they are looking 100 years back in time - when these photographs were taken, neither the Russian Revolution nor World War I had yet begun.
