Quote of the Week
Life isn't made of stories that you cut into slices like an apple pie. There's no standard way of approaching a story. We have to evoke a situation, a truth. This is the poetry of life's reality.

Book of the Week: Pleine Mer
by Jean Gaumy
In this breathtaking and compelling book, photographer and sailor Jean Gaumy depicts the daily struggles of deep-sea fishermen on their open-deck trawlers, which are seldom used anymore.
