Anyone in Athens soon, visit the "Why Look at Animals?" exhibition at EMST. Of course varied, but a high hit rate. I LOVED the 8 conceptually and visually amazing chronophotographs of bird flight paths by Xavi Bou (xavibou.com). His Ornitographies book at home on a lazy Saturday is a real treat. 1/2

The risk of my attending this workshop was low. But I find myself unexpectedly in Helsinki and, by happenstance, able to attend. Excellent talks so far! #philsky

Woke up horrendously early today. The cold morning run (headtorch and all) brought several joys to compensate.
