Notes

My favourite tumblelogs are the ones with personality. Their authors aren’t necessarily the most colourful personalities, but every post, no matter how brief or infrequent, is another fascinatingly honest peek into the life of an absolute stranger. I appreciate it every time they share something.

After seeing a particularly moving post, I assessed my own tumblog and found it lacking. I don’t aim for this to be anything more than my little slice of the internet, but I thought it only polite to offer a bit more to those who happen to come by. I decided to rewrite my “description”.

“Emmanuel Quartey is a wannabe architecture major who came to this decision after realizing that it was the only way he could marry has interests in design and urban planning without giving his parents a heart attack. This is the place where he fantasizes about things like subways in inappropriate ways. Emmanuel is Ghanaian, and a long way from home. Nice to meet you.”

Success? Yes? No?

Curious about cities, patterns, design, and marginalia. I use the word 'narrative' a lot. Emmanuel is Ghanaian, and a long way from home. Nice to meet you. (@equartey, Pinterest, email, ask)
