Yamamoto Masao & Mrs. Deane
a fascinating photographer, from Japan, and
an interesting dilemma that I've noticed...as
it is for photography, so it goes for illustration
(re: Japan)...click here for more from Mrs. Deane

Elements of Style
"Design of 'The Elements of Style' by Strunk, White, and Kalman
(Penguin Press, 2005)
Perhaps part of Strunk and White’s intent was a useful manual of usage and style, and they did this in almost militant fashion (but not without their own clever humor), it was Maira’s idea to illustrate all this, and it was our job to keep one eye on the usefulness, and serve Maira’s wondrous and unorthodox approach to telling stories.
Design: Peter Buchanan-Smith, Maira Kalman"

April Food Day
The Chronicle:"Unfortunately, the scientific findings on diet and disease are marginalized by the political power of huge, mutually reinforcing commercial interests - meat, dairy, sugar, drugs and surgery...
These industries are desperate to sell a solution that obscures their part in the problem. If they can convince people that the cause of our health crisis has nothing to do with eating unhealthy food, and everything to do with increasing access to drugs and surgery, Americans will spend trillions more on health care without improving their health."

thank you
it's spring
which is wonderful
and time
to thank you for stopping by
you are much appreciated
these photos were taken
last week in a garden tucked
near Lone Mountain
in San Francisco
it's really a spectacular place,
Lone Mountain: this is the view
as you approach the top of the hill
right down that hill (on the other side)
the sweet garden bursts into bloom
and clumps of dirt team with sprouts
and spiral tendrils and sprays of white
stars and the promise of something
altogether
new
the tendrils and sprouts, really,
are just as spectacular
as being on the hill that
has a distinct feel of heaven:
it's all in the way we look at it
the fact that you stopped by to
read this is equally wonderful,
and I thank you for that
happy spring
