I don’t want to live forever … I just don’t want to die.
🔗 Rescuing a project in progress
Whatever kind of project you are doing … good advice from Mr. Fried.
Shades of Phil Collins … though to be fair … sending a fax requires a tad more effort than an email
🔗 Rupert Murdoch reportedly divorced Jerry Hall by email.
Still .. what else do you need to know about the man?
🔗 Obsession review – the actors in this erotic thriller all seem to need the toilet.
“We have come a long way in many fields of human endeavour since the early 90s, but, alas, actors have still not learned to run fast and run far from anyone who wants them to appear in anything with the words “erotic” or “obsessive love” in the brief.”
Filed under ‘Film Reviews I Wish I’d written’ … and no, I have not seen the film.
The desire by Musk to turn Twitter into an ‘everything app’ beggars belief. His behaviour since that stupid sink (code for ‘everything but’) event has proven that he is 100% totally untrustworthy and if he cant be trusted with a messaging app - why on earth would anybody trust him with their purchases and finances? Not to mention that for an anything app to work you need to partner with people. He doesn’t even understand the word - unless it is the government - that he constantly complains about - whilst grabbing billions for his taxi service to space.
🔗 Fashion designer Dame Mary Quant dies aged 93.
A long life had Mary. Rest In Peace.
Not correct many photographic images are made not using a camera, for instance: laying an object on a piece of photographic paper then exposing it to light, the silhouette of the image is captured on the paper. Man Ray experimented with this style along with many other early photographers/artists. Pin holes in walls making huge images on interior walls are not technically camera’s, there are many examples of photographic images being made not using a camera. I think a screenshot is as valid as these.
What do you think?
What do photographers think?
This is definitely an image - but is it a photo?
How about this?
“You become the noun by doing the verb.”

Nice find Daniel .. thankyou.
As most company CEOs explore how to extricate themselves from the China drug … or at least mitigate their dependence … Musk doubles down.
What a depressing morning .. can’t we just shoot them all?
As some states pass laws to prevent ‘abortion trafficking’, they seem to ignore laws already on the books designed to prevent sex trafficking. How else do people like Matt Gaetz continue to continue to roam free .. let alone maintain their position in congress.

Rob Lowe and his son. Written by his son. Think Eugene Levy. Except I’m a fan of Eugene … but have now tried Schitts Creek 3 times … and am still not there. So I wasn’t expecting too much when I started up this puppy. That’s the key I guess. Lower the expectations. Not bad at all, though shades of Mythic Quest?
