Productivity, Trust and Sensibility
One day Claudio told me that to avoid disappointments, he avoided expectations in the first place. I didn’t know what to think about that, I was confused as a big part of me couldn’t grasp its entire meaning. more
End frame: Sierra Nevada Morning by Albert Bierstadt
What’s a painting doing featured in an end frame article? I hear you protest. Well, for me, it is one of the most impactful images that I’ve experienced - either painted or photographed. more
