Okay, I just found a list of “marital demands” written by Einstein and imposed on his first wife, and it’s one of the most bizarre things ever.

Thread:
CONDITIONS

A. You will make sure:

1. that my clothes and laundry are kept in good order;
2. that I will receive my three meals regularly in my room;
3. that my bedroom and study are kept neat, and especially that my desk is left for my use only.
B. You will renounce all personal relations with me insofar as they are not completely necessary for social reasons. Specifically, You will forego:

1. my sitting at home with you;
2. my going out or travelling with you.
C. You will obey the following points in your relations with me:

1. you will not expect any intimacy from me, nor will you reproach me in any way;
2. you will stop talking to me if I request it;
3. you will leave my bedroom or study immediately without protest if I request it.

PS: Mileva Marić was nothing short of an incredible scientist.

Every time my very first client reaches out to me, it's like I'm transported back to 2015 when I still had no idea what I was doing but he loved my work and supported me anyway. He has been doing it since.

Grateful is the word.
From the very beginning, one of the things I always had in mind was my responsibility and obligation to show the client that I am grateful for his trust. These photographs are precious to them, and they need to be to me as well, at least while I'm working on them.
And THESE are the people to whom I don't mind doing favors every once in a while, or even going beyond what I'm hired to do and support/promote them/their projects.

A round of applause for me for spending 16 hours working on a photo, manually masking/selecting thousands of little heads, only to discover that there was a version of the photo that had been originally taken in color.
I’m a genius, I know.
I didn't finish the photo. Probably never will. I actually want to set it on fire.

Uma criança me mandou uma foto do avô no Instagram e me pediu pra colorir "só um pouquinho" pra ele ficar feliz.

Quase chorei sim
E a mensagem começou com "oi tia"
Farei? sim.
