“What people call your style is simply your inability to do it any other way.”
“What people call your style is simply your inability to do it any other way.”
- Anton Corbijn seen on a TV installation at his Fotografiska exhibition in September 2025, cited here from memory to the best of my ability.
I kept this quote because the perspective of style as something inherent and unchangeable about oneself made me calm.

- it is the smallest (mathematically) perfect number, meaning it is equal to the sum of its proper divisors
- it is also equal to the product of its proper divisors
- there are 6 players on a volleyball court
- a 6 sided regular polygon is capable of tiling the plane AND when it does, each interior angle is 120° which means that if you extend a ray along its external bisector, it aligns exactly with the line of contact where two neighboring hexagons meet in the tessellation. i am aware that this is very specific, but as someone with the idiosyncrasy of avoiding extended rays from angles smaller than 180° i find it deeply satisfying to walk on hexagonal grids.1
- my birthday is on the 6th
- hexagons are pretty

i have noted that all the german petrol stations i’ve visited (admittedly only a few) had hexagonal tiles on the ground. this is why i like german petrol stations. ↩
