News articles my Dad sent me

Over many years my dad has been sending me news articles. I discovered them while looking for a bank card, I forgot that I have saved them all.
Each of the articles will represent a shared interest of my dad and I or something my dad thinks I am interested in, nearly all the times he is right. My Dad said to me " I know you are busy, so I will read the news for you and edit it for you", my Dad was always well ahead of the times, he was my first RSS feed and bookmarking tool.

Not really happy about this.

I find this quite sad, digital has killed traditional photography (I can accept that and move with the times). Surly there is a better use for the cameras. Being able to have a image of yourself or loved ones is a privilege that we take for granted. Photography has, I believe been instrumental in the belief in the self. Being a photography teacher for many years working with young disadvantaged young people, the magic of the dark room can dramatically improve self-esteem, in two ways, first the act of creation. Many people have not had the opportunity, knowing you have the ability to crate a image, something external is a powerful experience. This is not so important with digital, this process becomes throwaway, as many of the peoples experience with the world.

Secondly photography is a valuable tool in allowing people to start to think conceptually about themselves and there place in the word. Thinking conceptually, is something that has to be taught, it does not always come naturally and photography can help people that may struggle academically.

Surly these can be repaired and sent to people that could use them?

Space is so big

I mean, so big, more big than I can imagine, I like thinking how big space is. It hurts when I think about how chuffing big space actually is. And when I see photographs like this, I am reminded, I think is is good to be reminded how mutter chuffing big space actually is. 

Thanks Wired for brining me the lastest Hubble images.
