We are thinking about Andrei Tarkovsky on his birthday... Polaroids by him, from the book Instant Light: Tarkovsky Polaroids, Thames and Hudson. (1979-1984).

Saul Leiter. “spent a great deal of my life being ignored. I was very happy that way. Being ignored is a great privilege. That is how I think I learned to see what others do not see and to react to situations differently. I looked at the world, not really prepared for anything.”

So many people are not the main character, even in their own life.. @brutedeforce

x.com/SurfThrash/sta… One day we'll look back and laugh...I regret never having seen BLACK FLAG live - though I've seen Rollins a few times. Strikes me looking back that I was an incredibly intense young man. I'm an old fella now - the pit veteran, punching people for fun, and unspeakably angry - seems like another man. Some things I'm glad to be rid of. This is still great tho'

Chester S Geier was born on this day, so here's interior magazine art for some of his 1948/1949 stories (Artist: 1-3 Virgil Finlay, 4 Julian S Krupa). 'Guy Archette' was a pseudonym: sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/geier_ch…

"One magical movement from Kether to Malkuth" Outside 'The Riverside' venue in Newcastle, on 3 Aug, 1997, I got to speak to Bowie for a moment. In that very brief exchange he told me William Burroughs had died. That's my Bowie story.

I'll be parting with money I don't have. Oh yes. My (early) birthday present to myself.

Steve Jobs on How to Develop Taste: “I don't think my taste in aesthetics is that much different than a lot of other people's. The difference is that I just get to be really stubborn about making things as good as we all know they can be. That's the only difference. “ The interviewer says, “I think you’re being modest” “Well, things get more refined as you make mistakes. I've had a chance to make a lot of mistakes. Your aesthetics get better as you make mistakes, but the real big thing is if you're going to make something, it doesn't take any more energy and rarely does it take more money to make it really great. All it takes is a little more time, not that much more, and a willingness to do so. A willingness to persevere until it's really great.”

This study changed my life. People call me lucky but I'm just tenacious, shameless, sociable, restless, and OK with rejection. Life is a numbers game. Shoot 100 shots and you'll score some. People will say it's luck. It's not. It's creating more opportunities for success 🤷🏻‍♀️

the reason you feel unfulfilled is because you’re not taking enough risks

It’s fundamentally unorthodox that an ardent atheist socialist made the best adaptation of the book of Matthew that is so revelatory that even the official newspaper of Vatican City called it the best depiction of Christ ever filmed. Pasolini is one of the greats for good reason.

Cousin of the late great Roger Troutman, who pioneered the talkbox sound in the 70s and 80s, made California Love with Pac and Dre and then was tragically murdered. Ye put a Troutman back at the top of hip hop's elite and no matter what they say about him he's a good dude for it
