Newspaper (Trouw|) newsletter header: Trump started a war after all – And: what's so much fun about knitting?
Montaña Roja in Lanzarote. One picture shows rocks glowing red in the early evening sun, with the mountain partly disappearing in fog and darkened by the late hour. The second photo is of a road going sharply up, its lines in sharp contrast to its darkening environment, with an orange sky accentuating the late hour.
I took an advance on summer, spending sun-drenched mornings with a book and coffee on the apartment's terrace in Lanzarote, while the afternoons were for explorations. What a landscape!

Reporting and investigating take a lot of time and resources. It’s a lot harder for freelancers and independent journalists to do this. (...) Second, the amount of talent lost in laying off all 9 staff photographers is devastating.

Fernweh...
"The Post has always been a writers’ paper, a newsroom so thoroughly scrappy that simultaneously anything seems possible—big ideas, big ambition—and it still feels like a small miracle each day when such consistently good journalism emerges from such glorious mayhem." They deserve so much better.

ICE is turning its surveillance state on U.S. citizens. This is known:
In case you need new energy after these exhausting two weeks.
I think Bezos's affiliation with Trump is to blame for the current situation. More than 300,000 subscribers cancelled, and highly regarded newsroom veterans left the paper after he decided to kill a planned endorsement of Kamala Harris days before the Nov. '24 elections. Then, the spiral down began.
Yes, I made a typo.
“We urge you to consider how the proposed layoffs will certainly lead us first to irrelevance – not the shared success that remains attainable," WSJ staffers wrote [to owner Besos]. “We know what happens when newspapers slash their international sections: they lose reach and they lose relevance.”
“I barely park my car and I’m running out screaming and crying, ‘You stole a fucking flower from a dead woman. Like, are any of you [ICE] human anymore?’” (...) It reminded me again of the Tahrir Square protests in 2011, when so many people seemed to have reached a moral and political turning point.
I came to understand that Europe finally decided to end appeasement politics. I hope this shows the New York Times is planning the same, and other media will follow. More like this, please.

(I meant Photobook Land, of course 😅)
This article encourages us to seek out things more beautiful or interesting on our own, rather than relying on AI-generated 'best of' lists. I realise how fortunate we are that so many people in Photo Land are still willing to compile their year-end lists with personal motivation, not an easy task.
"It's a routine we few crazy souls around here have, and perhaps it serves us like when we used to send greetings by post. I like to think of it as a kind of secret message, like smoke signals to share what still moves us. In the end, we're left with a few gestures and many books."

Meta-list 2023 has been moved from Facebook to Substack. And 2024 is expected today!
Another photobook meta-list moved from Facebook to Substack. Countdown to Listmas accelerates. The first year-end list of the year (www.whatwillyouremember.com/our-favorite...) has arrived already.
