"The world is more or less full of objects, more or less interesting. I do not wish to add anymore. I prefer, simply, to state the existence of things in terms of time and place." - Douglas Huebler.

 

I built a pinhole camera and went for a walk and on a bus. 

I didn't even expect it to catch anything, but it did.

Vaughan: When you sit on a bus, do you read a book or look out of the window?

Me: I always look out of the window.

Vaughan: Good.

Vaughan: And when you sit on a train, do you sit facing forwards or backwards?

Me: Forwards, only because I feel sick if I sit backwards. Why do you ask?

Vaughan: When you sit forwards, what you are faced with visually has already gone past you before you have time to appreciate it. It is already upon you. When you sit facing backwards, you can linger for longer. You have time to take in what is around you, you can look at where you have come from. It is very difficult to look at where you are going.

I want to capture the world and put it in my pocket for safe keeping.

"Starting with Australia, she slides the stamps
behind the filmy strip, the album breathing
promise in its fresh gluey feel, the world
being collected and unfolding as it fills up
shelf by shelf. As her five-year-old fingers
gingerly slip the countries into place, the questions
spill out, like the stamps from an old album
I opened yesterday, forgotten pressed flowers
of a time when the world arrived
in a philatelic queue, surviving
emblems from my stamp-mad phase."
