My friend Zach shared this sweet video with me. It’s about the start of a Japanese architect’s career restoring minkas with his friend, journalist John Roderick. To accurately use a cliché, it’s a beautiful and poignant short documentary in memorial Mr. Takishita’s dear friend. Reading between the pastoral shots, the gleam of Mr. Takishita’s eyes, and…

Ricky & Doris (movie)
I came across this nice movie from, surprise surprise, AARP. But I thought they did a great job capturing both personalities. Because maybe we’re all artists trying to be something else.

The youngest master penman
I am in so much awe.
Changing perceptions

‘The Kármán Line’ short video
