Make an easy calender for the fieldnote in three steps. Just use "cal" command of UNIX. 1. Run the command on the Terminal.app as shown in the picture, 2. Print out the Teminal.app's window (command + P), 3. Cut and paste on the Fieldnote.
Over time, I've been collecting images in a temporary folder.
Not quite photographs, not quite intentions.
More like sketches, drafts, ideas - starting points.
Files meant to disappear, to die.
And yet...
This temporary album has eventually become the largest of all my projects.
Little by little, over the past ten years, it has traced a continuous line - one that, while not really leading anywhere, takes paths worth lingering on.
I found it meaningful to offer these stolen moments - once destined for the trash - a proper setting.
To build a true photographic object, something a little luxurious, maybe even deliberately too beautiful...
During the next weeks, i will publish all 4 volumes of these temporary files.
Hooray! Blue arrived today. After denying myself so many purchases, a pack of three notebooks is really splashing out! Also, husband cracked a laugh over the "Band of Rubber" included. I love the clicky ballpoint pens that come with these, but secretly not a fan of the pencil other than as a desk accessory. Nevermind. I had to amend this because I just sharpened one up, and the lead was much softer than I remembered. Just about perfect in fact, but I still love the Rhodias - their orange and black color scheme look smashing with Field Notes.

I could use a little sunshine -- about two months left in the rainy season, my field notes are starting to fill up fast. This book is filled with random Vietnamese words I've picked up on the farm and thoughts about interviewees to pursue.
I tried to use fieldnote only through last week, as experiment. That is, increasing weight for virtual memory in my life. After a week of cumulation, the contents are copied from the fieldnote to indexcards.
This monday, I wrote 78 cards this time, and it takes whole one day! It was difficult to keep concentration because it wasn't fun at all. It was kind of torture. I cannot say this is productive. :(
Writing card of a certain moment is 'Live', on going, progressive. That's why writing indexcard is fun for me. And it keeps me to be productive.
Through this experiment, I found the best way is to write card as possible, as I did. Fieldnote (virtual memory) must be really temporal.
If I have both, fieldnote and card, and I'm possible to write a card (e.g. office, cafe), I must choose to write a card. Fieldnote must be use as emergency (e.g. in a train, bus). A small virtual memory keeps the system functional.
# It reminds me of tip for Mac OS 7-9. Reducing the size of virtual memory, reducing the frequency of crash.
I got my Field Notes yesterday! I was kind of hoping for a hand-written envelope, but it's what's on the inside that really counts. I've decided to use one for my upcoming Project: Autumn Experience excursion, and already have two pages filled with upcoming trip dreams.
These make me feel like I'm one of the cool designer kids now.

Yes let's meet autumn as our mid-autumn festival is coming! Things do converge mysteriously with or without you knowing or seeing, finding the connections is no big achievement but brings small pleasures to our lives.
I was in Seoul 2 weeks ago meeting Mr. Nam who's company Appree just launched "Leaf-it" and already shipped to Japan's Marcs International for distribution. The leaf post-it comes in 8 different types, each with various sizes and colors of leaves. I hope they are coming to our stores soon.
Two days ago I received a Mackinaw Autumn package from Field Notes, another hint of autumn coming, in colors I'm so very in love with. I regret that I missed their summer collection (Butcher Orange, Butcher Blue, Grass Stain Green). Hmmm.... so Tradio Nature just came to me, Leaf-it and Mackinaw Autumn are both on my desk now, they are all here to set something in motion, the welcoming of our 3,000 years old tradition, mid-autumn festival.
Tasty moon cakes await us, beautiful lanterns hanging all over the places, family gathering dinner and Chiu Chau tea ceremony at home..... such a pleasant anticipation. I particularly like what the shops do on Queen's Road West, about 5-6 stores normally selling incense for worship now hang hundreds of lanterns so beautifully which lighten up the streets. I was there with family on Sunday night, people were there lingering in such warm atmosphere. Tomorrow we will definitely go the park with our lanterns.
PS. My son told me something funny this evening: "God has no time to talk to us, because he has to make up some homework for us, so God is very difficult and we have to thank Him". Where did he get the ideas?

It is quite useful if there is a calender on the fieldnote. I put an Easy Calender on the end of my fieldnote. For the recipe, see here. Next-3-month-calender is enough because I usually finish single fieldnote in a month.

Although the road is never ending
take a step and keep walking,
do not look fearfully into the distance...
On this path let the heart be your guide
for the body is hesitant and full of fear.

When I was high school student, a teacher of Japanese language taught us that "find a book that bears for reading three times". It is still rare for me to meet such a good book, but I'm trying to find them.
I put stamp on a book each time I read it. What I see is the "history of reading". :)

This is the abandoned Masonic Temple of Galata, Montana. It sits at the very western edge of the ghost town. The building looks quite old but the interior looks like it was last updated in the 60s.
Galata is almost a complete ghost town. There really are no more businesses open. Only a few homes are still lived in. This town has an interesting history and there are so many abandoned buildings that I would love to know the story behind.
Here is a video from when I drove through this great ghost town:

"Galata, east of Shelby, is near Willow Creek, one of the streams that flows into the reservoir created by Tiber Dam. It was a trading point and cattle shipping station on the Great Northern’s High Line. In 1901 David R. McGinnis, first immigration agent of the Great Northern Railroad, was so impressed by the beauty of the spot that he filed a claim for the land near the railroad where it crossed dry Galata Creek. McGinnis hired a surveyor to lay out a town and the following year brought carpenters and lumber from Kalispell to build a two-room house.
Cattlemen from the Marias River ranges brought their cattle to Galata for shipment to eastern markets. On cold winter days they were glad to have the protection of the two little rooms in the only building in “town.” The house burned down in 1904, but in 1905 McGinnis began rebuilding Galata. He built a two-room real estate office and an eight-room hotel, and eventually induced a storekeeper to set up shop in one of the rooms of the real estate office. Ranches would drive in with a chuckwagon and load up on $500—sometimes even $1,000—worth of supplies, pay in cash and return home for the long winter. After a few years, Galata’s only merchant closed shop and the hotel was abandoned; McGinnis gave up his dream of a town and moved to Kalispell.
One day he was surprised to receive a check in the mail. It was marked “back rent,” and was from a cowhand who had moved into the deserted Galata store and had done a good business with dryland farmers who were then settling on the old-time open range. By 1910 Galata had four lumberyards and five store. (from Cheney’s Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)
Near Galata, residents and visitors can enjoy one of the most versatile recreational areas in Montana, Tiber Dam-Lake Elwell. The lake provides excellent year-round angling for Walleye, Northern and Sauger Pike, native trout, Ling, Perch and others. Some may want to try their hand at bow fishing for carp that often exceed 20 pounds. For boaters and swimmers the area boasts over 50 miles of shoreline, a marina, and four well-maintained boat ramps located strategically around the lake. There are also numerous campground areas.
While you're at Tiber you'll observe spectacular windblown sandstone formations, Indian rings, and one of the largest earthen dikes in the world! The area surrounding Tiber contains excellent hunting, and a unique birdwatching area is located along the Marias River below Tiber Dam." -Montana's Russell Country Website
This is a great article, just scroll town to the one titled “Caught between two worlds, one dead, the other struggling to be born.”

This is a link to a neat photo taken near Galata many, many years ago:
I found this pouch several months ago. It's made by the North Face brand. I guess it is designed for passport. But it does fit for the Kokuyo Fieldnote exactly.
