So Calculating
Technology is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other.

This is simply beautiful. I know I say it all the time…but you inspire me so very much.
I’m on the bandwagon with Corey. Beautiful and inspiring!
Speaking of technology, there is this thing in computer speak called “Exception Processing”. Essentially, it means “Don’t tell me anything until and unless something is wrong”. I had thought to tell you that I was done with the superlatives all the time – that I say the same things to you over and over again until the meaning of those things is diluted due to the frequency of use. I thought to say that I would only speak when I found something that needed correction – so that what I had to say might be of some worth and value. The problem is you’ve become a much better photographer than I am, and I am not worthy to criticize your work. Besides – if that was the only time I said anything, I’d never get to say ANYTHING.
Stunning piece, Mishi. I love it, as always.
I have no idea how to use an Abacus. Maybe your kids can teach me.
