The negative is comparable to the composer's score, and the print to its performance.

Ansel Adams, quoted in Viviane Maier: A Photographer Found, by John Maloof and Marvin Heiferman

Yumna Al-Arashi, Axis of Evil (Yemen, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq), 2020

in Leica Fotografie International (LFI) magazine:

"This photograph was made for my first European solo show in Berlin, in the gallery Anahita Contemporary. It's a self-portrait alongside Anahita Sadighi, Moshtari Hilal and Susu AbdulMajid. We are respectively from Yemen, Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq. Despite our different roots I noticed that we all share a similar background, having grown up in Western nations that often vilify the places our families are from. I also noticed the strong profiles of each of our faces. So I decided to create this portrait with the title Axis of Evil – a play on the term so frequently used to describe our home countries when we were growing up. It also embraces the beauty of our distinctive noses, which are often treated as ugly, something to be changed. I wanted to embrace these qualities of ours in this image, creating something powerful, defiant."

"the Photographer's 'second sight' does not consist in seeing but in being there. and above all, imitating Orpheus, he must not turn back to look at what he is leading -- what he is giving to me!"

Photographed by Astrid Kirchherr from 1960 to 1968.

“For me it was a very natural thing. I didn’t know it was so hard because there weren’t a lot of female photographers around in that period." - Astrid Kirchherr, Astrid Kirchherr: A Retrospective “[H]e always treated me with so much sweetness. I think he understood real love, deep love, more than the others. Professionally, I always remember how serious he was… how determined he was to make sure that I received the creative credit I deserved. George was a sweet man, who, despite reflections on him by others, was really the least complicated of the Beatles… at least to me.” - Astrid Kirchherr, When They Were Boys (2013) “Astrid was dressing like that [in leather] when we were still just Liverpool scruffs. She was the one who had the leather kecks and the Beatle haircut. […] Astrid was so loving; she’d take us home and feed us. She helped us a lot, even just to let us have a bath. Astrid was twenty-two at that time, and I was seventeen; she seemed so much older than me, and so grown up… [...] Astrid was the one, really, who influenced our image more than anybody.” - George Harrison, The Beatles Anthology “He said ‘Oh by the way, I need a cover or an inner sleeve for my next LP [Wonderwall Music]’ and he said ‘I would like you to take it.’ […] Then he offered to build me a studio in London to take pictures and asked me if I could think it over. I was so unsure about me being a photographer, because of The Beatles boom, and I was thinking ‘Am I really good or am I just a Beatles photographer?’ So I just gave him a call and said ‘No, I don’t want to,’ and the only thing he answered was ‘Well you are my little fool.’” - Astrid Kirchherr, Astrid Kirchherr: A Retrospective “George was always my favorite, his kindness and his wit. He was just a wonderful person and whenever I was in trouble, like with money and things, he was always looking after me and he invited me a couple of times to London and later on to Henley. I just miss him terribly because he was like a little guardian angel for me, I feel like I am in a way lost without him.” - Astrid Kirchherr, Astrid Kirchherr: A Retrospective (x)

... While my brain rambles through their darkest timeline, I'm giving a look at the [REDACTED] amount of sweet and cheesy pics I have of Vio and Vlad. So given that this is already a cheesy week why don't post a [REDACTED] amount of them being sweet and lovely and cute!?

Because the Happy!AU is not only Vlad and Roy playing dress up but Vlad and Vio... doing... Listen, I don't know, when the stars align they are nice to each other.

And yes. Milky Bun.

This kildeer scared off Searocket and its semipalmated sandpiper friend. Kildeer are dicks!

Over the past summer (2023), Imani (the adult piping plover, offspring of original Montrose Beach pair Monty and Rose) sometimes chased them, instead of the three fledglings, around. I didn’t get to see this myself but the pictures are amazing, considering the size difference.

I did see a kildeer chase Monty in umm 2021? 2?, so Imani is avenging his father 🥲
