The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí (1931) is one of the most famous works of modern art, often reproduced and parodied. In a section of this painting, ants gather on a pocket watch lying at the edge of a box, next to a clock that has melted over the side, making it useless for telling time. Despite its small size (24 × 33 cm), the painting is filled with many details. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.

Been working my ass off this summer. Quit my day job at spring and have been trying to survive on my photography. I set a goal to become better at landscape photography since it was the area I most needed practice on. I've been on the beaches and bushes almost every day, trying to learn something new. I think I've reached my goal for now, but I've already set a new one for myself. On a creative job it's most important to constantly compete with yourself and aim higher. Only hard work and persistence will make you become better. #goals #persistence #photographer #karhi #lohtaja #kokkola #suomi #Finland #finland_bestsunset #sea

The squirrel strayed too far from the woods and the Red-shouldered Hawk saw his opportunity. The fur and feathers were flying!

Showered and dressed before 7am. Preparation for a meeting 'til 7.45. Caught a train at 8.15. Arrived at university before the library opened. Waited for it to open, only to discover that all of the books I needed were on loan already.
Waited in my lecture room eating breakfast and reading lecture notes until 10am. One lecture on placenames. One essay returned. One dissertation 'group' meeting at 12pm. One presentation meeting at 2pm. One set of questions for the lovely Jenny. Three A4 pages of scribbled notes.
Caught a train home. Drunk three cups of tea. Slept until 6pm. Typed until my fingers were sore. Threw roses at my face. Went to Asda with Steve and Paul. Played a game of scrabble. Stared at my monitor without blinking. Went back to sleep at 1am.

I will have a draft of my dissertation finished by the deadline. I will.
E. M. Forster never gets any further than warming the teapot. He's a rare fine hand at that. Feel this teapot. Is it not beautifully warm? Yes, but there ain't going to be no tea.
We take from nature, and although we may resist, the patience of nature always takes its own back. In this Bromoil image, a single pane of glass is fighting the inevitable, as the rest of the house has begun to accept its fate.

Study of the day:
"L'imitation est la propagation d'un flux ; l'opposition, c'est la binarisation, la mise en binarité des flux ; l'invention, c'est une conjugaison ou une connexion de flux divers." (Gabriel Tarde)
(...) Selon Tarde, un flux est toujours croyance ou désir (les deux aspects de tout agencement). L'imitation, l'opposition, l'invention infinitésimales sont comme des quanta de flux, qui marquent une propagation, une binarisation ou une conjugaison de croyances et de désirs. (...)
La différence est moins entre le social et l'individuel, qu'entre le molaire des représentations et le moléculaire des croyances et des désirs. (...)"
(...) According to Tarde, a stream is always "belief" or "desire" (both aspects of any arrangement). The imitation, the opposition, the invention are like tiny flux quanta, which mark a spread, a binarization, or a combination of "beliefs" and "desires". (...)
The difference is less between the social and the individual, than between the molar representations and the molecular "beliefs" and "desires". (...)
(Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari - Mille Plateaux)

La durée est une hétérogénéité persistante,
un devenir qui dure, un changement continuel.
The duration is a persistant heterogeneity,
a becoming that remains, a continual changing.

Clinging defiantly to the sheer rock face, these alpine trees stand as symbols of resilience and life in one of nature's harshest environments. Shot in the Italian Dolomites, this scene captures the quiet strength and rugged beauty that define this area. Stark contrast between the soft greens of the pines and the brutal texture of the ancient stone tells a powerful story of endurance, solitude, and natural artistry.
Hovland, MN on the North Shore of Lake Superior. This old dock is in the very small village of Hovland on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. The crumbling dock, imposing clouds, distance to the horizon, the heavy presence of water, and the wooded peninsula jutting across the scene all lend to me a sense of the slow but inexorable passage of time. Poignant and rich in metaphor, the dock slides, slowly but relentlessly into its own oblivion in the timeless expanse of eternity.
A Bergdorf Goodman window display, reworked from the Inspired Gifts series in a minimalist way with tinges of The Persistence of Memory by artist Salvador Dalí.
Dali would be proud.
