“Because of these mirrors, the lens can’t get too close to the sensor; and the greater the lens-to-sensor distance, the larger the lenses.” Death of the DSLR Camera - Gearlog

People are like the ocean: sometimes smooth and friendly, at others stormy and full of malice. The important thing to remember, is that they, too, are mostly made of water.

“Camus nos dejó una infalible regla del pulgar para identificarlas. Vargas Llosa la invoca explícitamente en uno de los ensayos que decuella entre los más brillantes de todos los que integran Sables y Utopías, cuando afirma que “la única moral capaz de hacer el mundo vivible es aquella que esté dispuesta a sacrificar las ideas todas las veces que ellas entren en colisión con la vida, aunque sea la de una sola persona humana, porque esta será siempre infinitamente más valiosa que las ideas, en cuyo nombre, ya lo sabemos, se pueden justificar siempre los crímenes –lo hizo el marqués de Sade, en impecables teorías– como crímenes del amor”.” Blog de la redacción - Detalles de la entrada: Vargas Llosa y las pinches ideas

“Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those, who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear, which is inherent in a human condition”

“…And when one day Rambert told him that he liked waking up at four in the morning and thinking of his beloved Paris, the doctor guessed easily enough, basing this on his own experience, that that was his favorite time for conjuring up pictures of the woman from whom he now was parted. This was, indeed, the hour when he could feel surest she was wholly his. Till four in the morning one is seldom doing anything and at that hour, even if the night has been a night of betrayal, one is asleep. Yes, everyone sleeps at that hour, and this is reassuring, since the great longing of an unquiet heart is to possess constantly and consciously the loved one, or, failing that, to be able to plunge the loved one, when a time of absence intervenes, into a dreamless sleep timed to last unbroken until the day they meet again.”

The Plague, Albert Camus

“Don’t look at images full size. Ken points out that the most important parts of an image are those that can be seen when the picture is seen at thumbnail size. There are people out there who will pick at flaws they can only see in 100% crops of your photos. That’s okay, because they aren’t really worth listening to. Feel free to pass over anything that doesn’t look great when it takes up a quarter of your screen (or less).” How to Develop Your Photography Skills: 11 steps (with pictures) - wikiHow
