[Note: The Online Photographer's M.C., majordomo, and Chief Bottlewasher, Mike J., just had his eye operated on and is recuperating. Big rule during recovery: no screens, no reading, lie flat and stare at the ceiling. He got an Echo and is listening to Audible books! Meanwhile, for your amusement and edification, a few bon mots from other writers and photographers. One will be published every day while Mike’s away.]

"In Japan, one’s lifetime is measured in 60-year cycles. When you reach the age of 60, you celebrate birth once more, returning to the world as a newborn baby. Mikio Hasui says this year, when he turns 60, he will hit the reset button on life."
—From the introduction to an interview
with photographer Mikio Hasui on Friends of Friends.

else. Thanks to Ed O'Mahony for this.)
