Notes from Geoff Dyer:
'People living out their lives in obscurity'
'The site and generator of universal gestures'
'Short distances and definite places' (Auden)
'Those who lack things are defined most conspicuously by what they own'
..'hands are the medium of thought, figuring. The knowledge-and ignorance-of generations is in the hands of the Cornett [family]'
In India: 'The physical everywhere bore the imprint of the spiritual'
'He photographed all sleepers as if they were the beloved'
'He saw his life refracted through the prism of other people's words. It was another way of not being noticed, of revealing himself in terms of what he saw and read'
Auden: 'The man or woman who in any walk of life...who manages to acquire and preserve a face of his own'

this is a fabulous portrait, by whom? and who is it?
william gedney (see link on 'places' to the right. john cage. contemplating mushrooms, for some odd reason. maybe he's run out of garlic.
i still think that garlic with mushrooms is a mistake, it destroys the delicate taste of the mushrooms, since garlic is way too strong for them. sometimes we cook them here with cream and dill, this is a very tasty combination.
awesome portrait, i have to say this again.
which mushrooms do you have there? 'oyester'? Not very common in __ but very tasty when they could be found. Otherwise, those insipid 'button' mushrooms are crap (though good for soup).
Er..don't the French always have garlic with mushrooms? And garlic isn't always strong! You have to know how to soften them up! Grilled (whole, with their outer layers intact) on a very, very low flame). Then they become deliciously sweet!
what is this cream and dill thing called?
