Only connect!

That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die.

—E. M. Forster

Daydreaming days in a daydream nation says:

"When I see the photo of Ian, one word strikes my mind: this word is TOLERANT. He takes true and beautiful portrait of black, asian, white, gay, hetero, children, men, women american people. I think the world will be better if everyone try to have this state of mind.
Also, I like the pictures of his own vision of his city Chicago at different time of the day.
Sometimes, it's beyond a single picture when he's downloading the same picture, building a frame with the same picture.
It's clever, it's an interesting and creative work.
Peace"

"When I look at only-connects stream I feel, well, connected.
I've learnt a lot from his skill in conceptual thinking,
and his straight forward, no fuss portraits of extra ordinary people keep me inspired.
Last but not least, I try to follow his advice and stay FIERCE. :)
Thanks for being out there!"

"He manipulates the awkward flickr photostream layout into something stunning. Not only are the individual images fabulous, but they connect in fun and fantastic ways to create new artistic entitites. I've never seen anything like it. Genius! Every page is a discovery, and I want to visit each one again and again and again..."
