Paul Mison’s random stuff that doesn’t go elsewhere. Is it microblogging, or microactivity?

His words really stuck with me and gave me a lens through which to see the project and its timeliness. None of us think that any of these things are going to end, but of course they are.</span></p> </blockquote>http://notes.husk.org/post/20000668569http://notes.husk.org/post/20000668569Tue, 27 Mar 2012 08:14:00 +01001950s1953contact sheeteiffel towerimageimagesmagnummarc riboudphotographymultiple<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/rdI4dCBFkneeb8lkqU1hxcOUo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Annie Hesse, Eiffel Tower (via <a href="http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1897093_1883580,00.html">Photos by Blind Photographers - Photo Essays - TIME</a>)</p>http://notes.husk.org/post/106802768http://notes.husk.org/post/106802768Tue, 12 May 2009 18:02:00 +0100imageeiffel towerlatticelight
