bookofkhidr has been reposting your Abbas Kiarostami movies screencaps

I have no problem with that, i’ve seen people (critics, bloggers) on totally unrelated sites using them but also crediting me (not just Kiarostami, in general my movie stuff). So i don’t mind ;)

#Repost @bookofkhidr (@get_repost) ・・・ Seydou Keïta (Malian, Bamako ca. 1921–2001 Paris). Untitled [seated woman with chevron print dress], Bamako, Mali, 1956, printed 1997. Gelatin silver print. Purchase, Joseph and Ceil Mazer Foundation Inc. Gift, 1997. In the twentieth century, photography became a medium of expression that African artists began to draw upon to reflect on the world around them. One of the exceptional talents to emerge in this area has been the Malian photographer Seydou Keita (ca. 1921–2001), whose work has been admired on an international scale. Keita's oeuvre consists of portraits that chronicle Malian life during the mid-twentieth century. His portraits are renowned for not only their masterful formal composition, but also their ability to capture the nuances of this important transitional period in Malian history. This portrait of an unidentified woman displays the signature pictorial style that made Keita the premier Malian photographer of his generation. Employing different backdrops and successfully combining pattern on pattern, the woman's skirt is dynamically juxtaposed with the regularity of the floral motif on the backdrop behind her. Keita positioned the woman so the arrow design of her dress directs the viewer to her bodice, where light vertical elements of her blouse lead toward her smiling, confident face. The overall pattern on the backdrop holds the viewer's attention while it gently repeats itself and simultaneously guides our eyes back down to her skirt. This portrait is one among hundreds Keita made in his legendary studio in Bamako, the capital city of Mali. Opened in 1948 near the railway station and post office his studio was the fashionable place to be seen and photographed.

[bookofkhidr]

A child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it. It is useless work that darkens the heart. The delight of the nursing mother, of the scholar, of the successful hunter, of the good cook, of the skillful maker, of anyone doing needed work and doing it well—this durable joy is perhaps the deepest source of human affection, and of sociality as a whole.

— Ursula K. Le Guin, from The Dispossessed
