donald trump | the windmills of his mind



We’ll have an economy based on wind.
I never understood wind.

You know, I know windmills very much.
I've studied it better than anybody I know.
It's very expensive.
They're made in China and Germany mostly —
very few made here, almost none.

But they're manufactured tremendous —
if you're into this —
tremendous fumes.
Gases are spewing into the atmosphere.

You know we have a world, right?
So the world is tiny compared to the universe.
So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything.
You talk about the carbon footprint —
fumes are spewing into the air.
Right? Spewing.
Whether it's in China, Germany, it's going into the air.
It's our air, their air, everything —
right?"

every picture tells a story | rod stewart's model railway

"I find beauty in what everyone else sees as ugly — rugged skyscrapers, beaten-up warehouses, things that are very run down. When I take on something like this, I have to give it 110 per cent. For me, it's addictive. I started, so I just had to finish."








dark waters | image book

The “Dark Waters” Image Book consisted of forty-six laminated pages that followed the linear and thematic trajectory of Bilott’s crusade, a sort of map of director Todd Haynes’s ideas for the movie’s visual language.

The album also included a list of the painters and photographers Haynes had chosen to inform the film’s palette and perspective, among them Gerhard Richter, Gordon Parks, Andreas Gursky, William Eggleston, Stephen Shore, and Joel Meyerowitz.
