This might be the most amazing light measuring device we’ve seen. Freakyfauna explains:  

Kaufmann’s Posographe.
An instrument for calculating aperture and exposure time when taking photographs in any possible situation.
For outdoors, it includes settings with values like “Snowy scene”, “Greenery with expanse of water”, or “Very narrow old street”, “Cloudy and somber”, “Blue with white clouds”, or “Purest blue”.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)

Reblogged from I love Retro
Men of dreams, the lovers and the poets, are better in most things than the men of my sort; the men of intellect. You take your being from your mothers. You live to the full: it is given you to love with your whole strength, to know and taste the whole of life. We thinkers, though we often seem to rule you, cannot live half your joy and full reality. Ours is a thin and arid life, but the fullness of being is yours; yours the sap of the fruit, the garden of lovers, the joyous pleasuances of beauty. Your home is the earth, ours the idea of it. You sleep on your mother’s breast, I watch the wilderness. On me shines the sun; on you the moon with all the stars.

Hermann Hesse

Narcissus and Goldmund

(via hermannhesse)

I will quote this to the next person who accuses me of living with my head in the clouds or that I am out of touch with reality because the fact is I rarely have much interest in reality.

Under pressure, people admit to murder, setting fire to the the village church or robbing a bank, but never to being bores.

Every murder turns on a bright hot light, and a lot of people… have to walk out of the shadows.
