Part II of my Mayoyao adventures. In which we stayed inside an Ifugao house (and slept on rice sacks), nearly fell to my death (hyperbole), and walked beside clouds (almost)!

Hmm, I miss you already, mountains. I feel like a Bilbo, truthfully.

Throughout the mid to late 1970s and upwards, Hiroshi Sugimoto packed up a folding 4x5 camera & tripod, surreptitiously entered matinees (and, one can only presume, evening film events) and documented the interior of movie theatres across the United States. He would open the shutter just before the ‘first light’ hit the screen and close it after the credits finished rolling and before the house lights came on. Using this method he was able to invert the subject/object relationship of the movie theatre and use the film itself to illuminate the proscenium and interior. This content, largely unaddressed critically, is what lends the images their incredible power — along wtih the natural fascination of being made privy to the photography’s divine birthright — allowing us to see the normally invisible, to experience a finite collapse of time.

There should be some in National Bookstores. I would actually just get a calligraphy pen because you can change the nibs. I don’t really use fountain pens.

I have a quill-type thing and tons of ink tho. Not for calligraphy but more for fountain pen-type of writing assignments. Hehe.

Sorry I am not much help!

Finally! Currently: “Why We Broke Up,” Tom Robbins on hold. (Taken with instagram)

I want darker skin and browner hair but that’s about it. I love light-colored eyes, but I don’t know if that looks good on me.

First, I wouldn’t call it ‘typo’. It might be a personal preference but I shorten it to ‘type’ because that’s how I always knew it as. I think ‘typo’ refers to typographical errors more than typography.

For body text, I generally don’t use anything narrow (hard to read) or too decorative (distracting, hard to read, tacky).

I have a hard time choosing type, too, which is why I generally hand draw a lot of text. Jessica Hische started out that way also. :)

Firefly is one of my favorite shows of all time. I liked Dollhouse, too. My favorite was Topher. :)

The car kept breaking down on the way up to Mayoyao, Ifugao, so we took pictures at the pit stops.

Luckily, there was a swift sunrise and a beautiful view.

antarascribes: “I don’t think there’s any cast in the history of television that cares about their show as much as the Firefly cast still does for Firefly.”

Time for a re-watch!
