Old passion reborn
by Ruben on Jul.26, 2009, under Archive
I used to be a photography nut as a kid. I covered a few events, and even ventured into photojournalism before becoming a complete nerd with computers.
Now, I find myself back into photography in a big way, and the tools have changed. No more darkroom, now there’s photoshop. It used to be that film was finite, so one chose one’s shots carefully, now woth digital cameras, an infinite amount of pictures are possible.
Because film is no longer a limiting factor, I think this has significantly raised the bar on what makes a good picture.

The upgrade went more or less smoothly, but now everything seems to be working.

Atypical Vacation – Urban Version
by Ruben on Feb.17, 2009, under Archive
This week I am taking an atypical vacation week. Instead of travel, I am staying within my home city. Three yoga classes, a half day at Ovarium, and the odd book or two I’ve been meaning to read will get read.
Currently reading: Twyla Tharp, The Creative Habit
Next on Deck: Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers
katherine fugate – equality in relationships
by Ruben on Jan.20, 2009, under Archive
Katherine Fugate is a screenwriter and I stumbled onto her blog because of her past work.
Here’s an excerpt from her posting entitled “Equality”, in which she neatly sums up what I have thought for a long time, just not in so many words.
We do not want “equals” in our life as that suggest sameness. We want mutuality and reciprocation. So, there is no measuring up (that’s for flour and salt). No proving ground (that’s for baseball). No comparisons (bigger, better, more, less).
You are who you are. As such you deserve a full relationship with a person who is whole and perfect as he or she is and that relationship is built on the principles of mutuality and reciprocation.
This allows each person to have different talents and to bring parts to the relationship that are creatively and energetically different. Money is important, real estate is important; but so are understanding, compassion, friendship and support.
You may give more of this or that; and the other person may give more of this or that. But there is no scale, just an innate sense of value for the gifts we all bring to each other.
As we become more sure of our own divinity, we know how to gauge the contributions.
