It begins with, “The word is a symbol and a delight which sucks up men and scenes, trees, plants, factories, and Pekinese. This paragraph is full of profound language and imagery. One of these allegories is the entire second paragraph. I would recommend this book to anyone who hopes to gain insight from its complex characters and impactful allegories.

Tim Liddy and Tom Climo, Golf Architecture, 2003 We are against such an approach finding it an undemocratic disservice to non-expert players, and unsatisfactory because it requires no imagination. Taking golf design into the direction of more length is only a disservice to the ideals of strategic design inherited from the founders of golf course architecture. In this era of obscene power, the likes of which the game has never witnessed, why not strive to induce a little fun in the mix and at the same time present a true test of delicacy and accuracy by building short par threes? ![]() ![]() ![]() It was a thought I recalled subsequently whenever I saw something organically out-of-place in the sterile environment of corporate office spaces. I remember joking to a friend that maybe a big insect, a bee or something, worked in that cubicle. In one window, and one window only, someone had placed a bright red flowering plant to catch the sun. ![]() ![]() The earliest idea for Cicada came during a visit to Berlin around 2005, although it could have been any city at any time: I was looking at the imposing grey façade of an office building, studded with hundreds of grey windows. or is it?

The book by Lief Eriksenn is excellent, loaded with information on MF cameras and tons of pictures taken with different cameras, including hte Hasselblad, highly recommended and is the first book I bought for MF, and a bargain at $24.95.
