On March, 11, 2011, a massive earthquake hit the coast of the Tohoku region of Japan triggering a devastating tsunami and a man-made nuclear disaster. Fourteen years later, we still are dealing with the fallout – literally. Many articles have been written about that event but I wanted to share this one because it gives insight into the Japanese connection to place and the desolation of no longer being able to return. It continues to break my heart...

Although this article from the Guardian is several years old, I just discovered it yesterday. My reading wish list is now even longer! (Click on the image below to read the article.)  I enjoyed this article the Atlantic. Something to think about...
 Last week, a good friend sent me a link to an article in The New York Times Style Magazine entitled "How Japonisme Forever Changed the Course of Western Design". It was fascinating! Although I was familiar with various threads in this article, this was the first time I’ve seen them all woven together. It's a long read but one that is well while. Enjoy! (Thanks, BF!)  I'm a huge Sharon McMahon fan and I was so pleased to see this article about her in The Atlantic. Sharon is a former high school government and law teacher, and she uses her viral instagram account, @sharonsaysso, to educate the public about all things American government and democracy in a non-partisan way. She has certainly helped me better understand some of the current events happening in the USA. (In addition to being extremely knowledgable, she's also a hoot. The article describes her as having powerful golden-retriever energy.)

I'm stepping back from social media so this is where I share links that I think others might enjoy. They will rarely be related to photography though! Archives
