Eudora Welty: “Life Doesn’t Hold Still”
Photographer Unknown, (A Snapshot Worth Saving),Selfie
“The camera was a hand-held auxiliary of wanting-to-know. It had more than information and accuracy to teach me. I learned in the doing how ready I had to be. Life doesn’t hold still. A good snapshot stopped a moment from running away. Photography taught me that to be able to capture transience, by being ready to click the shutter at the crucial moment, was the greatest need I had. Making pictures of people in all sorts of situations, I learned that every feeling waits upon its gesture, and I had to be prepared to recognize this moment when I saw it.”
-Eudora Welty
Pilus
Photographer Unknown, (Pilus)
The pil-based words for “hair”, are all derived from the Latin word “pilus” (“hair”). A fairly common adjective, pilose, means “covered with fine soft hair.” Deceptively similar-looking is the word ‘pilous’, which is a more hardcore-science adjective defined as “characterized by or abounding in hair, hairy”. An example of the use of that word is the following sentence: ‘He is covered with a rough pilous epidermis’.
