Axioms

The few things this site takes as true without proof. Everything else has to be shown.

Area, a Sheltie puppy, tilting her head next to a tub of ice cream

Axiom 0

Area is on every trip, even when she isn't in the frame.

Field assistant. Duties: inspecting every beach, supervising paddle boards and testing, daily, whether ice cream is a shared resource (so far: no). One brown eye and one with a patch of blue, so she always has a second opinion. She is also the only area on this site measured in square metres of sofa.

  1. Axiom 1

    Every photo starts as a negative.

    Nothing here arrives finished.

  2. Axiom 2

    Photos first. Everything else is a caption.

    Text explains, shapes frame, nothing covers an image.

  3. Axiom 3

    Every place belongs to at least one set.

    And some belong to several. That is what intersections are for.

  4. Axiom 4

    Every frame has a code, but no code has a successor.

    Numbers here identify; they don't count. 73924-2958 is a name, not a place in a queue.
