“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before…”
Illustration to Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Raven’ (1883 - Steel cut engraving) - by Gustave Doré
All suffering originates from craving, from attachment, from desire.

Scientists have discovered a mysterious object located on the outskirts of the Solar System, and while we don’t know much about it yet, what we do know doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
Nicknamed Niku, it appears to be a trans-Neptunian object, which means it’s a minor planet that exists past Neptune. But that’s where things start to get a little strange.
While there are lots of minor planets that we know about – ie. objects smaller than planets that aren’t comets – and scientists are finding more all the time, Niku doesn’t behave like the rest of them.
For starters, Niku orbits the Sun on a plane that’s tilted 110 degrees to the plane of the Solar System – the flat orbital disk in which the planets move around the Sun. It’s currently above the plane and rising higher, but it will eventually start lowering as it orbits back around.
Weirder still, while nearly all the objects in our Solar System orbit the Sun in the same direction – called the prograde direction – Niku bucks the trend, with aretrograde (or backwards) orbit of the Sun.
It’s not the first time a trans-Neptunian object has been discovered with a retrograde orbit, but when you combine it with Niku’s orbital tilt, it becomes clear that there’s something very unusual about this minor planet.
“It suggests that there’s more going on in the outer Solar System than we’re fully aware of,” astrophysicist Matthew Holman from the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics explained to Shannon Hall at New Scientist.

Sans toi, les émotions d'aujourd hui ne seraient que la peau morte des émotions d'autrefois.

“ I met a group of teenagers called the Jokers. I was 25 and they were about 16. I could easily have been taken for one of them. In time they allowed me to witness their fear, depression and anger. I soon realized that I, too, was feeling their pain. In staying close to them, I uncovered my own feelings of failure, frustration and rage.”
Bruce Davidson, The Brooklyn Gang, 1959
The Analogue Reveries of Adi Putra
“Painting with light” — a poetic way to describe the work of a photographer.
Artistic transcendence does not bless all men behind cameras, though LA-based film shooter Adi Putra easily flows and surpasses the rules of reality to create images of photographic fantasy.

What’s your favorite color?“ “Blue.” “Why is that?” “Because blue is beautiful. The way it can represent many feelings all at once.” “And what are those feelings?” “A sense of nostalgia that reminds me of happiness and sadness.
from a book I might write by @jwfeelings (via jwfeelings)
This morning my lungs felt like they were grazing the sky and my eyelids were ridged like mountains. The sun’s rays seeped through the curtain like water and the summer light walked through my sleepy eyes. My soul was reborn.

The Wonders of the Sky in Analogue
The sky is a fickle and omnipresent element in our lives. Its extensiveness hides many things just right under our noses — other treasures worth photographing. Here are some photographs you can produce during your next sky-watching.
I won’t forget The way you choked me Or the way it felt When the life Escaped my body I won’t forget The fear that came over me As the darkness approached Blackening the edges Of my vision I won’t forget The words you said after Trying to make it better By whispering sweet nothings In my ear

At #SDCC2016, @itsfullofstars stopped by a Boeing booth dedicated to celebrating future #Mars exploration, and received this cool piece of swag: a brochure about the SLS that’s also a papercraft model. We got the contact info of one of the people running the booth, and are planning to reach out for an interview soon.

Vintage Camera Reviews: Kodak Autographic
The Kodak Autographic is the first really old camera I bought. I found this in a consignment store for $40. It was in pristine condition and came with its original leather case. I didn’t really know how it worked and had no idea that this nearly century-old camera would kick off a passion for collecting, fixing, and shooting with vintage cameras.
