Paul Graham’s Does Yellow Run Forever? is a year or two old now, so you may already know all about it, but I’m a bit behind I guess. I became aware of Graham’s work following the review of his 2015 show at Pier 24 and its associated, excellent catalog, so it’s understandable that I missed it and equally understandable that it was on its way to me within minute of stumbling across Lewis Bush’s review at Disphotic.

Joshua Rashaad McFadden’s Come to Selfhood, the newest book from Ceiba Editions, might open up some things for me, if I pay attention…

There is One Creator. Everything else is His creation. He is God, One in His Lordship and One in His Right to be Worshiped. He sent us prophets, to teach us about Him and how to worship Him, and He sent down His books, to help us stay reminded. He sends angels to protect us and to make sure the physical operations He put in place continue to run as designed. One of these angels is waiting, right now, standing at attention, all ready and set to blow the trumpet that will start the 5th pillar of Iman, the Day of Judgement. Continue reading “Six Pillars: 5”

Six Pillars: 4
God exists. God is One in His Lordship. God is One in His Right to be Worshipped. God is Unique in His Names and His Attributes. Through His Mercy, He sent prophets to us to teach us how to worship Him, and he sent revelations to some of them, messages to pass down to later generations. These revelations tell us more about Him and the creation, about our role in the world and our purpose, about the seen and the unseen.
Just how did God transmit these messages to His servants here on Earth? To answer this, we need to turn to the unseen world, the realm of Angels and others. This is the fourth pillar of Iman: the belief in Angels and the unseen.
Sophie Harris-Taylor – ‘MTWTFSS’
Sophie Harris-Taylor’s M T W T F S S: Chapter 1. 2010-2015, according to the cover, “is an autobiographical, fragmented, sporadic photo diary.” I was initially hoping for a bit more diary—there are scribbled snippets of what might be diary entries in the front and back, but no other text beyond page numbers, plus a list of titles and some publication info at the end—and so was a bit disappointed at first, but looking again, there’s quite a bit here to enjoy and even inspire.

Back in 2006, I built some pinhole cameras out of coffee cans and shot some photographs with them directly to photography paper. Concurrently to that, built a foam core cap for the 50mm lens on my K1000 and shot a couple of rolls of film. I shared those not too long ago, but the paper negatives stayed in an envelope, tucked into the front flap of my negative storage binder until very recently…
I’m still playing with the negatives, but I wanted to share this one straight away and wonder some about it…
