I guess I believe that I'm at work on the digital library, that I've been working in that direction all along,
and that geography is at the core of how I can make that happen—despite what looks like
an absence of interest in the spatial stuff that I see as so interesting and central to everything,
and that I've been messing with pretty much constantly for 30 years and more.

"I continue to be riveted by a lot of the photographs in NS Faces, amazed at how much of people's essences come across once the signal encoded in a tintype is freed from the low-contrast muddiness. In some cases the technology was novel enough that it really does seem that souls are captured, and some people seem modern, or at least aren't just deer-in-headlights dressed in uncomfortable clothes..."
