What is "studying photography from a taoist perspective?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for asking, Ghul. (I've read several of your wonderful
interviews, so your question caused me to go through
an entire scenario in my mind. What I came away with
was that -- at the moment -- what I am doing is learning
how to "see" in the broadest sense. That's why most
of what I do on dA is "read" other people's photos. The
ones I post are actually secondary to my project and
are just a peripheral expression of my meditation and
neigong practice.) It's ironic, since the TAO cannot be
expressed in words, but the NAME that can be named
is part of the 10,000 things that can be talked about.
I am also a writer and translator, and my "lineage" is
most closely related to the Korean 9 Mountain Zen school,
if that helps to make sense of me.

I didn't want to spoil the comment page of your beautiful collage, so here is some thoughts about Ultravox
They had two great eras: the "Ultravox!" with John Foxx and a definite punk overtone—this song I mentioned belonged to this period, originating from 1975. The band was on its way from 1975 to 1979, then John Foxx went, and some other musicians, too. Also the exclamation mark. 
Ultravox came together again in 2011 or 2012 and issued a new album Brilliant. That has its photography connections, too, as in Live! it states that "every picture has a story"

Thanks for introducing me to John Foxx -- I like him better old!
(Same with Pink Floyd and Leonard Cohen -- I suppose we all
prefer aged wine as we age ourselves, and I'm past the half
century mark.)

I am glad you like it! Midge Ure's Ultravox was my all-time favourite, and later I discovered Foxx, and collected all their LPs... I don't really know his later works, he was unavailable here in Hungary then, and I was a bit surprised to hear him on 2011 and 2012 records... His voice is still unique, but I felt that he has lost that fire once he had. I mean, on the Hiroshima Mon Amour presentations. Did you watch Gary Numan's footage on "Utravox!"? Really interesting. Numan is unbelievably sincere and high-spirited, and it is interesting to hear how deeply he was inspired by Foxx's works...
Well, I have some months for the "half century mark" but I like this way, too: let the wine be old, the girl be young, the music be ... well. There I have tons of high expectations
It is strange that while I admire and acknowledge Pink Floyd, it never was my music. I listened to Alan Parsons and ELP, sometimes Crosby Stills Nash & Young, hours of Mike Oldfield (his "Platinum" is playing at this moment), Ramones, Kraftwerk, Echo & the Bunnymen, China Crisis, ComSat Angels and Simon & Garfunkel... really eclectic sort, topped up with Vivaldi and Hummel

I actually didn't like Pink Floyd when I was younger -- it wasn't
until I was over 40 that I appreciated some of their work (and
largely for the social commentary). It's interesting -- I don't listen
to much music except when I'm driving because I find it hard to
have it in the background when I'm doing other things. (I grew
up in Korea, where people are singing constantly as part of the
tradition -- even before the abomination of Karaoke!) When I was
in college, I used to operate spotlights for visiting artists like
Patty Smith, Flock of Seagulls, Don Maclean, Clarence Clemons, etc.
It was quite an experience to be hooked into the tech board and
listen while operating the lights (it used to be those arc lamps
like they used in movie theatres).
So now in my middle years, I get to discover all of those musicians
I sort of missed in my youth!

That is a real good point for YouTube. I just listened some favourites in several unknown versions, found almost forgotten beauties... As you mention, I loved Flock of Seagulls, and Patti Smith... well, it is good to see that she's still active and making tours. Perhaps I will listen them tonight
It is interesting, while I don't know too much about Korea (rather a shame, but so many interesting cultures are out of our focus), and especially didn't know about their singing tradition. A friend studied in Seoul about a year ago, and told a lot of things but not about singing. I will ask her, perhaps it was so self-evident for her to not mention...
About the Pink Floyd—it is interesting. I was really aware of the social "commentaries", aspects and critiques of The Wall (that was the first album I was aware of), but here in Hungary, behind the iron curtain these were far and foreign problems. I won't say we hadn't got our problems with the "normal civilian life", but we had them differently. My Italian friends asked me once what it was like to live in the Eastern Block. As a youngster I have to admit that it wasn't bad at all. It had safety and it was easy to predict. You exactly knew where you'll have your holiday three years later. The problem started when one wasn't really good or talented, but wanted to do something unique. We all were bricks in the wall, but didn't know the fear of rubbish of fallen wall's bricks, and had very hazy ideas about the different walls. I don't want that back, but I disagree those people who state it was the terror and ultimate evil. But I talk about the late 70s and 80s, not the previous years, when that was completely different.
