Cameras and lenses on a pale green sheetTLTBE, short for This Life To Be Experienced, follows people, music, rooms and the light at the end of the night, and writes only what it saw.

It keeps the questions open and leaves room for what a photograph won’t explain. Next it goes to Japan, Mexico and Germany, led by the people who live there. Read the field essay for where it starts.

Keep the
hours.

The Sunday edit: the week’s photographs and one essay, in a single slower read. No noise, and you can leave any time.
