Book is here
[posted at 20:23 GMT]    

I have received the book from Machiel Botman which I have ordered last week.It arrived yesterday and I looked in it immediately. Flipping through the pages now, reading occasional page of text. These texts are kind of pieces of thought. They do not have really any connections between each other. They create feeling and touch images which one can see before text page appears. That is nice touch, makes you come back in your mind to the image you saw before.
Sometimes I feel text is really broken to small pieces, pieces which sometimes miss me completely. But as one sentence says: Knowledge is like possession, it turns life into prison.

Some images are excellent, some I must say it, tell me nothing. Somehow I have feeling his other book, named Heartbeat Seems to be better, at least I like it more. But let not judge it to soon. This last book feels not so nicely tight like first one. I have feeling like selection of images doesn't work together that well as in the Heartbeat book.
