Một ví dụ điển hình cho việc làm không nghỉ. Cả cái text cũng của texture T_____T
Got takeout from Panda Express for dinner tonight. I had to chuckle when I opened my fortune cookie. Why don't I ever get one that says, "great wealth is in your future" ?
for 7DoS: the idea I had for today didn't quite work. I might get time to adapt it for tomorrow ... meanwhile, here's another from my archives

Fotos der evangelischen Kirche Veckerhagen im hessischen Weserbergland
One of my faves from the trip to London, and I had completely forgotten about taking it. Luckily took two exposures as the first was massively out of focus. I think this one is acceptable though, given the low light levels.
i found this sign near my house and I really don't think it should be hung on the front of a church!

How could I have forgotten that I have had this since a flickr-walk with the very lovely and very talented knautia in January, who showed me where this stencil was to be found...
An Open Letter to Myra Borshoff Cook, Tour Organizer for Jack Kerouac's On the Road Manuscript Scroll
Dear Ms. Borshoff Cook:
Recently I wrote an article expressing my displeasure over not being able to photograph Jack Kerouac's classic manuscript "On the Road," currently on display at the San Francisco Public (sic) Library. The current owner of the document, Indianapolis Colt's owner Jim Irsay, has publicly stated his opinion that the scroll "belongs to the people." Still, irrespective of this "belongs to the people" assertion, you, as the organizer of the current tour of the scroll, apparently have decided not to allow photography of the document.
You have responded to my original article claiming that although Mr. Irsay owns the manuscript, he does not own the "copyright" to On The Road. This argument is hollow and does not ring true and well wouldn't Jack be proud. You go on to say that "therefore," you "had to work with the lawyers representing the holders of the copyright and that is why the photography policy was set." That's good information to consider, as I'm sure Jack would have been sure to consult with the attorneys of the railroad cars that he would hop back when he was alive.
Your copyright argument is flawed. I'm not sure how familiar you are with cameras these days, but as a photographer I can assure you that as the scroll is presently displayed, no one would be able to take more than a snippet of text, and only with a macro lens at best. You cannot shoot the words of the scroll clearly underneath the plexi-glass that you have over the document and to shoot through the glass would require sitting a lens on the glass which rests less than a foot from the document itself.
Although you cite "copyright" as your objection I would remind you of the general concept of "fair use," Nolo Press has a nice write up on it. "Fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism. The fair use privilege is perhaps the most significant limitation on a copyright owner's exclusive rights." Further, taking snippets of text from copyrighted materials and quoting them is in fact fair use.
As you are well aware, it would be difficult if not impossible to copy large portions of the text of this document. Further, someone possessing photographs of the document still in no way reduces the copyright holders rights. The copyright on this document is not on the document itself but on the words contained therin. It would be no different than if I quoted from a paperback version or took a photograph of a paperback version of Jack's classic text.
So in the spirit of fair use I have decided to disregard your and the San Francisco Public Library's "no photography" policy and have in fact taken photos of your closely guarded scroll that per Irsay "belongs to the people." As I'm sure Jack didn't heed the no jumping rail cars signs I'll also disregard your "no photography allowed" signs. If, as you suggest, your copyright argument holds I'm sure that I'll be hearing from your lawyers shortly regarding my illegal use of copyrighted material. That's what I thought.

Happy Xmas (War Is Over) ist ein Lied von John Lennon und Yoko Ono, das erstmals am 1. Dezember 1971 als Single in den USA veröffentlicht wurde. In Großbritannien erfolgte die Veröffentlichung erst knapp ein Jahr später am 24. November 1972.
Entstanden im historischen Umfeld des Vietnamkriegs als Protestlied, entwickelte es sich im Laufe der Zeit im angelsächsischen Sprachraum zu einem geradezu klassischen Weihnachtslied. Der Text basiert auf dem Slogan einer Antikriegs-Kampagne von Lennon und Ono aus dem Dezember 1969. Für diese Kampagne mieteten die beiden Werbeflächen auf Plakatwänden in mehreren großen Städten weltweit, darunter New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Tokio, Rom und Berlin. Die Aufschrift lautete: “WAR IS OVER! IF YOU WANT IT Happy Christmas from John & Yoko” (deutsch: „Der Krieg ist aus! Wenn du es willst. Fröhliche Weihnachten von John und Yoko“). 1971 waren die Vereinigten Staaten noch stark in den zunehmend unpopulären Vietnamkrieg verwickelt. Die Zeile “War is over, if you want it, war is over, now!” die im Hintergrund vom Chor gesungen wird, stammt aus der Kampagne.
„‚Happy Xmas‘ haben Yoko und ich gemeinsam geschrieben. Es heißt darin: ‚War is over if you want it‘. Das war immer noch dieselbe Message – der Gedanke, dass wir genauso verantwortlich sind wie der Mann, der die Knöpfe drückt. Solange die Menschen die Vorstellung haben, dass es ihnen jemand antut und dass sie keine Macht haben, haben sie keine Macht.“
– John Lennon: Dezember 1980

My contribution is second row second column. As it was meant as a body text face, and I do not believe too much in typographical detail anyway, It has a clear rhythm, supported by the seris. I show a text sample: left part without any kerning, right part (partim) with "optical kerning" in InDesign. More on the evolution to this typeface on this Flickr set. Maybe listen to some music at it .
