Five-Hundred Word Challenge 1329: Thinking About Things

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about things over the past few months. I’ve thought about where I am in life and how I can get a better job and all that fun stuff. Also thinking of selling the … Continue reading

Buildings Pressing into Clouds

This is a test photo I took, or at least it was mostly a test photo. I think I had some interest in the building on the right, but I’m not entirely sure. I hope you enjoy.

Hirundo neoxena

Specifically, two of them. This was taken at Centennial Park. I’ve tried to photograph these birds before, or at least birds that look like these ones, and I’ve not had much luck. I hope you enjoy.

Shoji Meguro: Their Own Past

One listen. I felt I had to rush through this one and I think that, whilst that would normally work, here it didn’t quite. I should’ve gone for another listen but I didn’t. Had I done so, I would’ve been … Continue reading

Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi: Kilika

Two listens. I’m pretty tired at the moment and I think that didn’t help me with getting my head around this song. It’s straightforward and makes use of some nice sound layering, but… yeah. I think this could be stronger. … Continue reading

Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi: Besaid

One listen for this one. Just tried to write whatever I could and I think that it made for two differing halves that work for two separate bits of writing. Noriko Matsueda (松枝 賀子) and Takahito Eguchi’s (江口 貴勅) “Besaid” … Continue reading
