Renato D'Agostin : Tokyo Untitled →
In 2007, I turned my attention to Japanese photography, which inspired me to explore what my point of view could be in a city so far from the world that had always surrounded me, but so close to the photographic imagery towards which I was addressing my attention. Longing to break the unconscious, immediate and easy processes of the known and the predictable, I traveled to Tokyo for the first...

objective fan news!!
DOES IT EVEN EXIST. I need objective observations of fact, not statements skewed by inherently skewed perspectives and assumptions and hasty conclusions.  Fact: 83s did not touch down in Korea today at 11:20am along with everyone else Fact: 83s had passport trouble in Bangkok 2 weekends ago due to expiry dates Questionable: 83s left Tokyo this morning. Questionable: 83s left Tokyo on SQ637 and...

Kyuhyun, "Goodbye, The Three Musketeers" →
He now is composed enough to do adlibs. When he failed the three musketeers’ entrance exam, he looked at them in wonder, lifted his butt and said, “why did I fail? When it’s this full, why!” It made the audience laugh. He also used Hyunbin’s line in the popular drama Secret Garden, ”is this the best you can do? Are you sure?” Kyuhyun is most satisfied...

Exiles in a small world →
“But the author himself had some things in common with his fictional character. Nabokov’s lecturing style, for instance - reading from a carefully written text and making little or no eye contact with his audience - was similar to Pnin’s. Nabokov too was capable of absent-mindedness, and on one famous occasion began lecturing obliviously to the wrong class until he was rescued...

Untranslatable- The Nabokov edition
Toska Russian – Vladmir Nabokov describes it best: “No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it...
