  1. “All one wants to do is make a small, finished, polished, burnished, beautiful object”*…

    … and if we don’t make them, we can collect them.

    Scott Teplin reports (in Paul Lukas‘ nifty newsletter, Inconspicuous Consumption) on one remarkable example…

    My family and I recently vacationed in Mexico City. Nestled in the heart of the city’s vibrant Roma Norte neighborhood is a hidden gem that nearly escaped our itinerary: The Object Museum (or MODO, short for Museo del Objeto del Objeto, or “the Object of the Object” [see also here]).

    To be honest, I was initially hesitant to step inside. Having grown up in Wisconsin, I developed a healthy distaste for the cluttered crap heaps featured in the infamous tourist trap the House on the Rock, and I worried that MODO might be more of the same. However, curiosity eventually won out, and I wandered in one afternoon to discover what turned out to be one of the most delightful museum experiences I’ve ever had.

    The museum is a dedicated homage to the “object (i.e., the point) of the object,” showcasing vast collections of everyday items. Originally conceived as the private obsession of the mansion’s resident, Bruno Newman [here], who spent over 40 years collecting packaging and advertising, it has evolved into something of a localized record of material culture. Plus it’s just a well-curated collection of cool stuff…

    A celebration of the commonplace. See much more at: “A Museum Devoted to Everyday Items,” from @steplin.bsky.social.

    As we regard the routine, we might celebrate: today is National Margarita Day.

    拍張 #Everydayobjects 是很舒心的。
    至少在構圖內我是有辦法用鏡頭語言整理出平心靜氣的氛圍。
    對於環境清潔力總是落後於核爆力的人類而言,一張照片可以鼓勵自己是可以好好生活的。只是畫面以外的世界需要喝口水再繼續努力(笑)
