An Affirmation


Oh for heaven's sake. Another snowstorm has rolled over Copenhagen. I love winter, I love snow, I love cycling in snow in the winter. But please... give me some hope of summer.

Enter Artuu, with this brilliant photo from the official Cycle Chic Flickr group.

I'm currently re-reading Susan Sontag's brilliant work from 1971 called On Photography. It's a dog-eared volume:
Sign of a Good Book

In it she writes this:

"Poignant longing for beauty, for an end to probing below the surface, for a redemption and celebration of the body of the world - all these elements of erotic feeling are affirmed in the pleasure we take in photographs."
