a: Photography ~
b: into the mineshaft

What: ""Photography is like going into the mineshaft", says Roger Ballen, and well he should know. As a geologist, his fieldwork sometimes has taken him 2 kilometers under the earth's surface, in search of diamonds, gold, and other minerals. These subterranean pursuits have deeply influenced him, supporting his artistic development, which he likens to a psychological descent into the mine. As his work has progressed, the excavation continues - time and again he masterfully brings up to the surface what he finds buried in the orebody of his unconsciousness, this is the endless challenge of his practice.

a: ip address ~
b: full address for postal mail

What:

"In other words, an IP address is like a full address for postal mail while a MAC address is just the house number.

Simply mailing something to "898" will not get it there but "898 5th Ave, New York, NY, United States" is a globally unique address. "
