I asked for a pack of Field Notes for the holidays last year, and recieved the awesome homemade version on the left. Bought a pack a few months later, and thought I'd lost the other two in the move only to just dig them out of a box today - huzzah!
We still use the red one, just 'cause. Thanks Mom!
Every year, I give my Advanced Typography students a Field Notes Memo Book.
I tell them to fill it with typography and life.
Here are the Fall 2013 designs.
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.
Volume II of my temporary files opens on a difficult period of my life, during my rehabilitation at the Saint-Yves clinic following a fairly serious health accident (see my series « Heart Passages » published last year)
It ends at work, and in the immediate vicinity of my company’s offices.
(Because yes, I also photograph at work :-) )

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.
Outgoing notes include:
Urasawa Naoki
Ritesh Batra's PHOTOGRAPH
More holiday planning
Scrabble scores
Excruciating financial calculations
Stanley Kubrick: The Exhibition
Film Soleil
Chaohuan; Vaporwave; Takanakuy; Antropofagia
John Wayne; Michel de Montaigne; Richard Bach; Virginia Woolf; Stephen J. Cannell; Takashi Miike
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.

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.
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?
