index notch
If you ever wondered if those indentions in old-school dictionaries have a particular name, the answer is that yes, they do. They are called an index notch.
If you ever wondered if a close-up photo of an index notch* looked like a piece of wood that had been carved out, that answer is also yes.

franky
There is something heartbreaking and endearing about homemade cemetery markers, and I have never seen a fancy granite (or whatever) carved stone that I liked even a little bit.
And I am sorry for the loss that Franky’s family experienced.

do not go gently
I was looking back through the images I made a few years ago on a photo trip to Havana and found some that didn’t catch my attention at the time.
Like this one, which I made on the first night in the country, of a vintage car driving in front of the Hotel Inglaterra. As we explored the neighborhood around the Parque Central, rolling blackouts rolled around. It was a little surreal, the way the buildings would be flooded with light one minute and then gone when the lights went black. It was a regular thing, day and night, and I never got used to it.
