大掃除
Filed in News & Updates |This will probably be the lengthiest post for a long time, but just to explain:
The Kanji characters above are read as Osoji, a tradition practiced in Japan on New Year’s eve equivalent to Spring Cleaning, with the purpose of greeting the new year with a fresh, clean start. I don’t intend to do that every year of course; but I’d like to restart with a clean slate.
After over a year of steady blogging, always, always wondering what to post about, mopping up infinite torrents of spam for every comment, I gained some focus.
I’ve turned off comments to block future spam and deleted older comments partially to nuke never-ending waves of older spam. So, good news: you’re no longer obliged to comment.
I’ll be dealing the silent card as well; posts will be predominantly visual. To be explicit, here’s what this journal will be about:
A place to observe and appreciate colors, design, patterns, texture, shapes, and structure. Whatever it may be.
It will be uninterrupted by text unless I feel it necessary to express or explain something.
I hope you enjoy what’s to come.
