Yesterday I passed this wonderful shot on the bus, returned through puddles and other obstacles to capture it on my smartphone.

Over time, I began to approach photography a little differently. I don’t want to be a hostage to good staff. All shots are good because photography helps to document. Sometimes the result is great, but as in any practice, the process itself is important - thoughts, feelings, dialogue with yourself and the surrounding space.

Last summer, during another photo walk, a guy approached me (as I understood him to be a Turk) and asked him to photograph. No problem! He asked me to send the photos to gmail, but instead of leaving me his address, he wrote down mine. I was like “in star mode” - OK, I wrote down my email, so he’ll write and I’ll send you the photos. I even retouched them a little - done! But the Turk did not write.

Perhaps I forgot. Perhaps he was embarrassed, but I am more inclined to believe that he simply did not realize that he needed to write to me. It’s a pity! The photos are good, but I had to delete them because… I do not need them.

Yesterday I received a letter from Pika in the mail… Who is Pika and why is she (he) writing to me. The letter contains congratulations - cool! It’s just not happy. Everything must be on time. Having visited the site, I remembered what Pika is, but now I don’t need it, because “a spoon is expensive for dinner.”

And if you decide to send the user such a letter, again interest him in the product. Well, what is it? A few lines of text, and the button is somewhere unknown…

Today, while working on his Space , I decided to check what the preview of the notes ¹ in Meta would look like. But he changed his mind after he saw a “closed door” in the form of a login page. My page Facebook I have long been closed and I don’t want to check I can enter using the login and password or I need to restore the account first (or it will recover after entering the debugger).

But we are talking about something else. More recently, every platform came up with and imposed on us its standards. As an example, AMP from Google or the same pages from Facebook (I don’t even remember what they called). They try to introduce such standards in any direction of technology, because it is profitable to manage the standard and have dependent users.
