The Conquest Of Abundance

This is (or rather is going to be) my photography and fiction blog. The uniting theme of this blog is the concept of "The Conquest of Abundance" as described in the book of the same title by philosopher of science Paul Feyerabend, whom I admire greatly , not just for his ideas but also for his deeply humanistic attitude.
Basically the conquest of abundance is the idea that in our attempts to gain control and knowledge of our world we have been loosing a large part of the richess this world has to offer, in the form of ideas, experiences, views, and basic cultural diversity. This blog then is my personal attempt to regain for myself, and possibly a few others who feel sympathetic to this attempt, some of the abundance that is in danger of being lost and forgotten.
