"In these great times which I knew when they were this small; which will become small again, provided they have time left for it...in these times in which things are happening that could not be imagined and in which what can no longer be imagined must happen, for if one could imagine it, it would not happen; in these serious times which have died laughing at the thought that they might become serious; which, surprised by their own tragedy, are reaching for diversion and, catching themselves redhanded, are groping for words...in these times you should not expect any words of my own from me---none but these words which barely manage to prevent silence from being misinterpreted."
Karl Kraus, 1914
I try to limit my contacts to well under 100. There's barely enough time to keep up with the ones I already have...

z.ikon1399 was one of my first flickr contacts and has become without doubt my most valuable,what stuck out for me was his ability to make any street scene look so damn cool,his photos just have it,he makes great use of light and I have to say I've learnt a hell of a lot by looking through his stream on regular occasions,mono or colour it just looks all so right. He also is from my experience the best commenter on flickr,a wordsmith who leaves me opened mouthed sometimes,a most valuable contact and if your in any way interested in street photography then please take a while and have a look through his stream,your in for a real treat. Oh yeah and he doesnt mind me asking him stupid questions now and again.
