Gabriel García Márquez on His Improbable Beginnings as a Writer “If you’re going to be a writer you have to be one of the great ones… After all, there are better ways to starve to death.”

Detall des de l'interior d'una finestra oberta en una casa abandonada. La llum solar entra a través dels vidres trencats i projecta ombres rectes sobre el porticó de la finestra. Una esquemàtica cara somrient que algú va marcar sobre la pols es veu encara a la part inferior esquerra de la imatge.

Llum, ombres, una finestra i un somriure improvisat sobre la pols.

WE MISS BISCUIT.

Signs of the Times - That Little Bit Different Terry and Sue quite like Austrian blinds but feel they're common. And just why do Ray and Jane change their three-piece suite twice a year? (1992)

Martin Parr has died & this grimmest gloomiest greyest, Sundayest of Sundays is the perfect day to watch Signs of the Times.
All four extraordinary episodes are full of pathos, beauty & humour, life & love stories told through relationships with interiors & objects
