From a requiem for a fashion photographer who reportedly
died today at 87 —

"Although he sometimes photographed upward of 20
gala events a week, he never sat down for dinner at
any of them and would wave away people who walked
up to him to inquire whether he would at least like
a glass of water.

Instead, he stood off to the side photographing women
like Annette de la Renta and Mercedes Bass
in their beaded gowns and tweed suits.
As Anna Wintour put it in the documentary about
Mr. Cunningham,

'I’ve said many times, "We all get dressed for Bill." ' "

For those who prefer entertainment —

"The poem on its own is negligible,
instructing a human 'intelligence /
So late dredged up' to master
the primordial stone,
which 'may have contempt /
For too-familiar hands.' 
The stone is language,
the diamond is a poem:
as in a model kit,
all the pieces come labelled
and the instructions are easy to follow."

Dan Chiasson in The New Yorker ,
issue dated June 20, 2016, on a
1955 Adrienne Rich poem,
"The Diamond Cutters"

Jews on Style  continues …

From a Washington Post  obituary  this morning —

"For the past 30 years, while teaching at New York University’s
law school, Dr. Bruner explored the idea of storytelling as a
fundamental way of understanding the nature of the world
around us. He believed that the choices we make in telling
stories 'become so habitual that they finally become recipes
for structuring experience itself, for laying down routes into
memory,' he said in 1987.

'This is a mode of cognition,' Gardner said, 'at least as
important as STEM' — the science, technology, engineering
and mathematics model of instruction that has gained
currency in recent years.

'He made narrative a form of thinking,' Gardner added.

Jerome Seymour Bruner was born Oct. 1, 1915,
in New York City to Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe."
