In which I finish a book and promptly fall apart (just a little)

WV17 On the privilege of having books in childhood, creativity in the modern ‘algorithmic’ world, poetry as an act of noticing, and a mysterious underwater habitat.

WV16 On the asteroid heading towards Earth in 2032; the need for one journal or many; and the human stories behind the opioid crisis in West Virginia. 

A Quiet Masterpiece You Won’t Forget

WV15  On reading, note-taking, parenting, creativity v/s mediocrity, and a few brilliant photo works to savour.

WV14 On the critical importance of books for children, a search for identity in one’s homeland, joy of rereading, and Seattle’s Little Free Libraries movement.

WV13 On ‘listening’, ‘shapeshifting’, alternative photographic processes, and the world’s most stunning water tower among other things.

WV12 My fave photographer talks about his best shots from 2024; AI eroding our critical thinking; and two photo books to grab if you can
