"Bethells in Autumn" Statement

My photo series is called “Bethells in Autumn”, and I wish to show people who go walking at Bethells Beach during different times of day and different types of weather during the months of Autumn in 2024. I want to communicate through these images the sense of community that is so evident when visiting Bethells Beach. As I am a local of Bethells, I have a unique advantage in the fact that I, of course, know the other locals in the area and will be more likely to gain consent to photograph them, and also show a sense of community through this advantage as the locals are already comfortable with me. “Bethells in Autumn” has been my only working title so far, I like it because it states exactly what the photos are in context, and I also like how to-the-point it is.

Usually, when people consider landscape photography, or landscapes in general, they usually think of a place during their winter and summer months. Either the place is snowy or has perfect blue skies. However, the unique vibe and moods that autumn provides during the change of seasons will give my photographs a unique perspective - especially since I’m photographing a beach and not the classic autumn photos we usually see in the way that people usually photograph orange leaves. I want the readers of my images to feel a sense of nostalgia - even though these photographs will have been taken during April/May/June of 2024, I will give them all a lighter feel in post-editing to mimic the feeling of nostalgia. While I aim to capture the sense of community at Bethells Beach, I also want to highlight its role as a haven for many people. To achieve this, I plan to photograph people both individually and in their groups. Additionally, since Bethells Beach is rarely busy during the week, I intend to depict its serene emptiness in some of my images.

The role of text in my photo book is to provide captions to each image. I debated for a while whether or not to name each photograph, but decided that yes: I would. The captions provide a lot of context as to why a seemingly random image would be a part of the sequence, and it really ties everything together perfectly. I decided to label each photo as ‘the … something…’ because by doing this, it singles out each photograph as its own body.

This series required 7 photoshoots at different times of day to get all of the images that made it complete. Because I wanted to show a ‘typical day at Bethells in Autumn’ I knew I needed to do this is over the course of time since it would be unrealistic to spend my entire day at the beach considering the weather is getting colder. My morning shots are meant to be a more cooler tone, to show how cold Bethells Beach can be in the mornings during autumn. I then made the next photos in the sequence black and white to show the moodiness of the beach especially when it rains or is very overcast. After the black and white photographs, everything feels quite warm and vibrant, and because the sun sets over the water, it warms up the entire beach in the afternoon and evening - so I wanted to show this in my photographs by increasing the warmth and vibrancy just a smidge.

The only gear I am using for this series is my camera and a dream. I will be using Lightroom to edit my photography. I originally wanted to use Lightroom Classic to make my photobook but switched to PowerPoint as this allowed me more freedom in sizing my images and then captioning them. 

My research plan for this project is to see how other people sequence their photographs in a way that tells a gradual story. I also want to see how other photographers use lighting and colour in a singular photograph to portray an overall mood. So far, I have looked at photographers such as Myriam Boulos, Rinko Kawauchi’s “Illuminance”, Roni Horn’s “You Are the Weather”, Philip Zimmermann’s “Masked Cell Towers of Tucson” and Andrew Thurtell’s “Hymn to the Immortal Wind”.

My position on my series is to show a typical autumn day at Bethells Beach, who walks there and who they walk with. As a local of the area, I feel that I can intimately show this. The course has helped me to feel confident in doing this by making me aware of the perception of light and editing style. By getting feedback in class over the past few weeks, I have been able to make informed decisions about what to change and what to do next to a point where I am happy with the end result. My independent research has helped me gain inspiration for sequence and editing styles.

What if Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared in a way we previously hadn’t considered? The life story of a new candidate for the mysterious Bitcoin founder shares some similarities. The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious figure behind the world’s oldest cryptocurrency, remains arguably one of the biggest mysteries in crypto. Despite the significant passage of time since the publication of the original Bitcoin whitepaper, the identity of its author is still being debated. Who is Len Sassaman? The latest candidate being considered is Leonard “Len” Harris Sassaman, born in 1980 in Pennsylvania, USA. After his early education, Sassaman earned a diploma from The Hill School in 1998.  In the same year, he joined the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF),  an organization dedicated to developing Internet standards and protocols. In 1999, he moved to San Francisco and became part of the cypherpunk community.  He would later become one of the community’s most prominent members, and it is here that he developed an interest in privacy. After co-founding the CodeCon hacking convention in 2002, Sassaman pursued doctoral studies in cybersecurity and cryptography at the University of Louvain in 2006. While at Louvain, he was exposed to various projects, including Philip ZImmermann’s Pretty Good Privacy software. The pair collaborated on the Zimmerman-Sassaman key-signing protocol, a new method for creating digital signatures. Sassamann also distinguished himself by exposing vulnerabilities in the X.509 standards for public key certificates. He also actively participated in many cryptography conferences. Following an adolescent diagnosis of depression, Sassaman took his own life in 2011. Read more: 9 Crypto Wallet Security Tips To Safeguard Your Assets What Did Sassaman Say About Satoshi Nakamoto? Len Sassaman is one of the less obvious candidates for Nakamoto. No one has cited quotes from Sassaman about Bitcoin or its creator, leading to speculation the cryptographer never made public statements about the asset. However, some people close to Sassaman claim have made unverified claims he did not like Bitcoin and instead favored its demise. Read more: What Is Bitcoin? A Guide to the Original Cryptocurrency Is Sassaman Bitcoin’s Creator? What Experts Think Still, the link between Nakamoto and Sassaman is not baseless. Since 2021, circumstantial details around each one’s life appear to overlap. Sassaman worked with several cryptographers previously considered candidates for the Bitcoin creator. Among them are Zimmerman and computer scientist Hal Finney, the latter of whom was discussed in previous articles.  In addition, Sassaman favored anonymous mail servers and wrote code for them several times. His image has also been immortalized in Bitcoin’s blockchain. The monument to the late cryptographer has been widely disputed. Even though it was added by a community member who wanted to thank Sassaman for his contribution to cryptography, it is unclear how Sassaman’s input contributed to the creation of Bitcoin. Len Sassaman Monument | Source: Medium But arguably, the greatest dispute has been around the cause of Sassaman’s death and one of Nakamoto’s last known emails. Before his departure, the Bitcoin creator left an enigmatic message that “he had moved on to other things,” and was leaving Bitcoin in “good hands.” Had the mysterious creator announced a potential suicide without saying it outright? No one knows for sure, and theories diverge. Had Nakmato grown so disenchanted with the development of Bitcoin that he decided to leave? Probability Test: Is Len Sassaman Satoshi? Cryptographic Evidence: Len Sassaman did not use tools, private keys, or an account linked to Satoshi Nakamoto. Nevertheless, he was on the list of email recipients who received the Bitcoin whitepaper. In addition, the cryptographer was careful to encrypt and keep the data stored in his computer secret. To date, the data on his computer is still inaccessible. This could

explain why the Bitcoin balance in Satoshi’s cryptocurrency wallet has not changed in the last ten years. Cryptography Skills and Contribution:  Sassaman’s work on several cryptography projects suggests he had the requisite skills to create Bitcoin. Despite being in his twenties, he participated in several conferences on the subject and was considered an expert. But there’s more evidence. He also worked on the TCP/IP protocol on which Bitcoin runs. Similarities in Communication and Language: In addition to shared views on privacy, Sassaman and Nakamoto also had a similar way of expressing themselves. Although Sassaman was American, he wrote British news many times. However, as some point out, the cryptographer was not a fan of Bitcoin. In his view, recording transactions publicly threatened society, a viewpoint at odds with Satoshi’s vision of an open ledger. Community Acceptance: The crypto community is still divided on whether Len Sassaman is Satoshi Nakamoto. Those who favor this theory are in the minority. Do you have something to say about whether Len Sassaman could be Satoshi Nakamoto or anything else?

Automatische Bewässerung mit dem BBC micro:bit

Eine automatische Bewässerung im Garten ist nicht nur praktisch, sondern auch sinnvoll. Denn sie ermöglicht eine gleichmäßige Bewässerung der Pflanzen, die notwendig ist, um ein gesundes Wachstum zu fördern. Zudem spart sie Zeit und Mühe, da man nicht ständig manuell gießen muss. Auch können durch eine automatische Bewässerung Wassermengen und Kosten gespart werden. https://youtu.be/ng9RiCTlWNM In diesem Beitrag möchte ich dir gerne zeigen, wie du das Kit von der Firma Cytron Technologies aufbaust und einsetzen kannst. Der Vorteil von diesem Kit ist, dass alles enthalten ist, was du für deine automatische Bewässerung benötigst. Okay, einzig der BBC micro:bit ist nicht enthalten, aber dieser kann ebenso über den Shop erworben werden.

Lieferumfang des Kits zum Aufbau einer automatischen Bewässerung mit einem Mikrocontroller

Das Kit enthält wie erwähnt alles, was du für den Aufbau benötigst, dazu zählt: - eine Anleitung (auf Englisch), - ein kapazitiver Bodenfeuchtesensor, - eine kleine Pumpe mit Schläuchen, - ein Mikro-Servo Typ 9g mit Anschlusskabel, - diverse Kleinteile zum Aufbau (Schrauben, Kabelbinder etc.)

Zusätzlich benötigen wir noch ein Gefäß für die Pumpe, hier habe ich mir einmal eine 2-Liter-Flasche aus dem örtlichen Baumarkt mit einem breiten Hals besorgt. Des Weiteren empfehle ich dir noch ein Gehäuse für die Schaltung, hier reicht auch schon eine Brotdose welche du im Sonderposten Markt wie Thomas Philips, Zimmermann oder auch bei Kik, T€di etc. finden kannst.

Benötigtes Werkzeug für den Aufbau

In dem Kit ist bereits ein kleiner Schraubendreher enthalten, zusätzlich benötigst du noch: - einen Seitenschneider, - eine Bohrmaschine, inkl. 14er Bohrer

Aufbau der automatischen Bewässerung mit dem BBC micro:bit

Der Aufbau mit einem Kit wie dem von Cytronic ist recht einfach, denn du hast nun alles für deine automatische Bewässerung da und musst dir theoretische keine Sorgen darum machen, wie diese Komponenten zusammenarbeiten müssen. Das Herzstück der Schaltung ist die Hauptplatine mit der Bezeichnung "REKA:BIT" auf welche wir die einzelnen Komponenten anschließen werden.

Schritt 1 - Anschluss des kapazitiven Bodenfeuchtesensors Als erstes schließen wir den Bodenfeuchtesensor an den Pin an den Pin P2:P12 am REKA:BIT Board an.

Aufbau des kapazitiven Bodenfeuchesensors Der Bodenfeuchtesensor von Cytronic verfügt über drei LEDs, welche den aktuellen Zustand anzeigen. - DRY - trocken, - MOIST - feucht, - WET - nass https://youtu.be/qkTMT7CV2VE Schritt 2 - Anschluss des Servomotors Bevor der Servomotor an das Board angeschlossen wird, muss dieser mit zwei doppelseitigen Klebepunkte an ebenso zwei Holzspicker verbunden werden. https://youtu.be/llz2XEaxYvI Wenn dieses geschehen ist, dann wird der Servo mit der Verlängerung (war bei mir bereits angeschlossen) an das REKA:BIT Board an den Pin S1 angeschlossen. Beim Anschluss der Verlängerung musst du ebenso Acht geben, dass du beim Einstecken auch Schwarz mit Braun, Rot mit Rot und Gelb mit Weiß verbindest. Schritt 3 - Anschluss der Pumpe an das REKA:BIT Board Die kleine Pumpe hat zwei Adern, eine Rote und eine Schwarze.

Diese beiden werden wie folgt mit dem Board verbunden: - Rot - M2A - Schwarz - M2B Zum Abschluss wird dann der Schlauch mit der Pumpe verbunden. Dieser sitzt sehr stramm auf der Öffnung, daher muss man ziemlich stark drücken. Es kann auch helfen, wenn man den Schlauch bei Draufdrücken etwas hin und her dreht. Wichtig Laut Anleitung würdest du noch das andere Ende des Schlauches mit dem Ruderhorn am Servomotor verbinden, das machen wir jedoch zunächst NICHT. Der Hintergrund ist dabei, dass wir zunächst den Servomotor ausrichten müssen. Das machen wir mit einem kleinen Programm, welcher ich dir in dem Abschnitt zur Programmierung zeigen werde.

Varianten des BBC micro:bit

Es gibt den BBC micro:bit in derzeit zwei Varianten. Zum einen den alten in der Version 1.5 und den neuen mit der Version 2.2. Beide haben jedoch das gleiche Pinout, somit kannst du auch das alte und günstige Model für deine automatische Bewässerung nutzen.

Der neue BBC micro:bit V2.2 hat zusätzlich noch eine Bluetoothschnittstelle und somit kannst du diesen auch aus der Ferne steuern.

Vorsicht beim Wiederverwenden eines BBC micro:bit

Ich verwende die Mikrocontroller in diversen Projekten, daher kann und wird auf dem Mikrocontroller bereits ein Programm laufen welches diverse Pins aktiviert / deaktiviert. Um hier nicht irgendwas zu zerstören, werde ich zunächst ein leeres Programm auf den BBC micro:bit aufspielen und danach mit der eigentlichen Programmierung beginnen. Hier bekommst du ein leeres Programm als HEX-Datei zum Download. leeres Projekt für den BBC micro:bitHerunterladen

Einstecken des BBC micro:bit in die REKA:BIT Platine

Den Mikrocontroller steckst du in die Platine so ein, dass die 5x5 LED Matrix nach oben zeigt.

Da die Schneidklemmen sehr stramm sitzen, bedarf es etwas Kraft, aber nur etwas!

Programmieren der automatischen Bewässerung mit MakeCode

Die Programmierung erfolgt in MakeCode von Microsoft welches du in einem beliebigen Browser aufrufen kannst.

Oberfläche von MakeCode von Microsoft Erstellen wir also zunächst ein neues Projekt, indem wir auf die Schaltfläche "Neues Projekt" (1) klicken. Im neuen Dialog vergeben wir dem Projekt einen Namen (2) und bestätigen dieses mit der Schaltfläche (3).

Erweiterung für das Board REKA:BIT hinzufügen Bevor wir die Schnittstellen des REKA:BIT Boards aus MakeCode heraus ansteuern können, müssen wir die Erweiterung REKA:BIT hinzufügen. Dazu klicken wir zunächst auf den Eintrag "Erweiterungen" (1), um danach nach "REKA:BIT" (2) zu suchen. In den Suchergebnissen wählen wir den Eintrag "reka:bit" (3) aus. Wenn die Einrichtung abgeschlossen ist, dann solltest du nun einen neuen Menüpunkt "REKA:BIT" (4) mit zusätzlichen Elementen finden.

Damit haben wir jetzt Zugriff auf die Schnittstellen und können die Pumpe, den kapazitiven Bodenfeuchtesensor und den Servomotor ansteuern bzw. auslesen. Wichtig Wenn du dein Programm, also die HEX-Datei auf den BBC micro:bit überspielst, dann darf das REKA:BIT Board nicht aktiv sein. Das heißt, du muss den Schalter oben links auf die Stellung OFF (oben) setzen. Wenn der Upload erfolgt ist, dann kannst du das Board wieder aktivieren (Stellung ON / unten).

Schritt 1 - Ausrichten des Servomotors Zunächst beenden wir den Aufbau und richten den Servomotor aus, um dann den Schlauch anzuschließen. In meinem Fall waren die Winkel

Hier jedoch der Code als HEX-Datei zum Download. Diesen kannst du wieder per Drag'n Drop auf das Laufwerk deines BBC micro:bit ziehen. Servomotor ausrichtenHerunterladen Schritt 2 - Funktion für die Bewegung des Servomotors Der Servomotor kann einen Winkel zwischen 0 und 90 Grad anfahren, dafür benötigt dieser eine Zeit X. In meinem Fall möchte ich das, dass Wasser um die Pflanze verteilt wird, daher steuere ich den 90° Winkel in drei Schritten, mit jeweils 0,5 Sekunden Pause an. Da der Code in MakeCode immer sehr lang wird, lagere ich diese Funktion aus.

MakeCode - ausgelagerte Funktion zum drehen des Servos Schritt 3 - Auslesen des Bodenfeuchtesensors Den Bodenfeuchtesensor haben wir an den Pin P2 angeschlossen, zunächst wollen wir den Wert auf Knopfdruck auslesen und auf der 5x5 LED Matrix anzeigen.

Den Bodenfeuchtesensor habe ich zunächst in ein Glas Wasser gestellt, dieses sorgt für die Anzeige der Grenzen (minimal & maximal). https://youtu.be/Rf1P5xYesCY Der maximale Wert für den Bodenfeuchtesensor liegt in meinem Fall bei 648 und der minimale Wert bei 480. Wobei der kleinste Wert von 480 ermittelt wurde, wo der Bodenfeuchtesensor im Glas Wasser stand und 648, wo dieser trocken war. Unsere Pflanze möchten wir natürlich gar nicht erst an die Grenze bringen und daher wähle ich im Code den Wert von 550. Schritt 4 - Bewässerung starten bei trockenem Boden Die beiden ermittelten Grenzen wollen wir nun nutzen, um die Pumpe zu aktivieren bzw. zu deaktivieren. Wenn du den BBC micro:bit in der Version 2.20 verwendest, dann kannst du auch zusätzlich noch einen Ton über den Piezo Buzzer ausgeben, wenn die Bewässerung gestartet wird.

Finales Programm

Mit dem letzten Schritt haben wir jetzt das Projekt abgeschlossen und unsere automatische Bewässerung fertiggestellt.

Hier nun das fertige Programm zum download. MakeCode Programm für die automatische Bewässerung mit dem BBC micro:bitHerunterladen

Fazit

Der Aufbau des Kits ist sehr einfach und es ist alles dabei, was man für den Aufbau einer automatischen Bewässerung benötigt. Leider musste ich feststellen, dass die Wasserpumpe das Gefäß leer saugt. Hier werde ich mir eine andere Lösung mit einem Relais und einer kleinen Solarpumpe einfallen lassen, damit dieses nicht geschieht. Auch musste ich den Schlauch kürzen, damit die Pumpe es überhaupt schafft das Wasser so weit zu fördern. Read the full article

Hey so I'm a self-taught witch who practices independently and I was hoping to learn a little bit from others as well. Do you have any books/resources/people you recommend looking into?

Hi there!

I'm a self-taught witch as well and I'm still at the beginning of my journey, at the moment I'm yet to finish the big blue book Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft of which I'm also sharing the lessons (you can find tose posts in my archive here) so for now I can only really recommend that one, but I'm marking down all the recommendend supplementary redings at the end of every lesson if you wanna check them out!

I'm also reading a very interesting and complete book about tarot called Holistic Tarot which i really recommend, it's a bit expensive maybe but it's totally worth it

Other than that I can write down here the list of recommended reading at the end of the blue book (with extra books other than the ones already listed at the end of every lesson), I can't recommend those personally (even if I did buy some of them but I still have to read them) but I think they're worth a shot if you'd like to know more, I'll add the other two I mentioned above in the list, in any case if you find other books online read carefully all the reviews cause many books are not serious about this topic

Also I'm not sure but I think these books below are all from white people and mainly about white cultures (and most of them are very old), so If you (or anyone else) have some recommendations about other cultures' book about witchcraft or ancient traditions I'd be glad to know more about that too!

As for people and other resources, I follow some witches on Twitter that shares interesting stuff, it would be too long to link all of their profiles so I can give you directly the list of people I follow here

I hope you'll find this helpful~

Football Vs. Husband: Which Do You Know Better? | Zimbits ft. Tater, G, 1.8k

Summary: Bitty gets quizzed on two of his favourite things: Jack and...... football?

Based on the Buzzfeed video of the same name. Takes place sometime in Sept-Oct 2019. Minor spoilers for 4.25 Faber and 4.26 Check, Please! (If you can call em spoilers LOL.)

Read on Ao3

A/N: Fun fact: At the time I wrote this (2017), it was set in the “future” (2019), but now that year is literally the past for us hahahahahahskfjasldfjasldfjklaskdfj. In the fic summary I say “minor spoilers” because what I originally wrote as wish fulfillment in 2017 became canon in 2020.

Anyway, this is a near verbatim copy of Ned Fulmer getting quizzed on his wife vs football—like fr some of the dialogue is exactly the same LOL. Thanks to @smol0ctopus​ for the beta and the omg stream! please server for advice!<3 Any other mistakes are mine.

YouTube transcript of Football Vs. Husband (Check, Please! #151: A Falconers Special!) [Descriptive captions by biittyyreciipees, airhockeycanbeviolent, and f4lcsboy: Check, Please! Captioning Team]

Eric Hey, y’all! Didja miss me? Because I sure did miss you! Now, today’s video is a lil special. Y’all’ll see that I’ve got myself some lovely guests here from Providence’s own Falconers team. (gestures towards Jack and Tater) Say hi guys!

Tater (waves) Hi!

Jack (single nod, smiles) Hello.

Eric I’ve got here regular guest and my husband, Jack Zimermann, and his teammate, Alexei Mashkov—

Tater But you call me Tater!

Eric (laughs) But we call him Tater! Tater, why don’t you explain what’ll happen here today?

Tater Is collaboration with Falcs TV! We had special tournament to see if players knows their SOAPs more than favorite thing.

ONSCREEN CAPTION SOAPs = Significant Others And Partners, for all y’all non-hockey fans out there! Click here (highlighted annotation inserted) to watch the tournament on the Falconer’s official website or check this video’s description!

Eric I had me such a great time over on Falcs TV with Jack that I wanted to share the fun with y’all here!

Tater (nods) Zimmboni crush everyone in tournament!

ONSCREEN CAPTION “Zimmboni” is Jack’s hockey nickname, like “Tater” is for Alexei. Everyone on the team has one! In fact, I have one too: Bitty! But Alexei likes to call me “B”.

Jack (shrugs, gives small smile) I know history. I know my husband.

Eric (laughs, blushes)

Tater Now, is time to see if B know Zimmboni just as much!

Eric I’m feelin’ pretty confident that I do. What do you think, sweetpea?

Jack I think Bits knows me better than myself, to be honest.

Eric Jack! (blushing again)

Tater Yes, yes, is very cute! But I’m want to ask questions now, yes?

Eric (turns to camera) Now, I tried to get ‘em to quiz me on baking—because y’all and your mama know that I love it—but Jack here insisted that I get asked about football instead.

Jack Baking’s too easy. I figured you’d appreciate the challenge. You know a lot about American football, eh?

Eric (rolls eyes) “American football”—I know y’all in Canada just call it football too! Now, I’d argue, but that’ll take up the rest of this video, so I guess it’s time to get to the quiz!

Tater Yes!

(video transition with dramatic music)

Tater (holds up stack of cards in hands) Here, I’m hold questions about NFL and college football, plus questions about Zimmboni for B to answer. Like during Falcs’ tournament, I’m ask SOAP about their favorite subject first, then ask about their partner. B, is ready?

Eric As I’ll ever be!

Jack Gonna crush it, Bits.

Eric Let’s hope so, sweetheart.

Tater Will be good, B, I’m sure! Question one, name five offensive positions in the NFL.

Eric Lord, how easy—quarterback, running back, wide receiver, offensive tackle, tight end.

ONSCREEN CAPTION Score: 5/5

Tater See, B! You be fine! Name five of Zimmboni’s favourite foods.

Eric Ooh, alright. So PB&J sandwiches, chicken tenders... scrambled eggs, uh, cassoulet... (Caption Note: French food pronunciation is not butchered, because food)

ONSCREEN CAPTION Score: 4/5

Tater One more, B.

Eric Hm, let’s see—

Tater (snickers) Remember this easiest question in stack.

Eric Oh, hush, you.

Jack Bits? Maybe a dessert?

Eric (hits head with base of palm) Oh, goodness me, right! Maple sugar crusted apple pie.

ONSCREEN CAPTION Score: 5/5

Tater (nods) Yes. Okay, how many minutes in football quarter?

ONSCREEN CAPTION Answer: Quarters in the NFL and NCAA football are 15 minutes.

Eric 15 minutes.

Tater How long is Zimmboni’s pre-game ritual?

ONSCREEN CAPTION Answer: 15 minutes max. Like all athletes, hockey players have specific rituals before their games.

Eric About thirty minutes?

Tater (whooping laughter) 15 minutes, max.

Jack (laughs)

Eric (gasps, shakes head) That is not true, that can not be true! Honey, I’ve seen you take 15 minutes making your pre-game PBJ sandwiches. (scoffs)

Jack (makes a face)

Tater Sorry, B. Must give big zero for that question.

Eric (rolls eyes) Hmph!

Tater B, you get 20 seconds—name as many starting quarterbacks in the NFL as possible. Ready, set, go!

Eric Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Philip Rivers, Tom Brady—ugh—Baker Mayfield, Derek Carr, Carson Palmer.

ONSCREEN CAPTION Score: 8

Tater Have 10 seconds, name as many as Zimmboni’s lineys when he finally move to first line.

ONSCREEN CAPTION Lineys = Hockey linemates. Fun fact: Jack moved from third to first line during his first season in the Falcs back in 2015!

Eric (opens mouth)

Tater But! Must name them by nickname!

Eric (single nod, determined expression)

Tater Okay? Ready, set, go!

Eric Alright so excluding Jack, that’ll be you, Tater, then we got Marty, Thirdy, Guy, and Snowy if you count the goalies!

Tater (solemnly nods) Always count goalies!

Eric Then that’s five for five. Gettin’ a lil easy there!

ONSCREEN CAPTION Score: 5/5

Tater Haha! Okay, who are on cover of Sports Illustrated for this season’s NFL and college previews?

ONSCREEN CAPTION Answer: Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. were on the cover for the NFL preview. Trevor Lawrence was on the cover for the college preview.

Eric Oh, Coach and I were just talkin’ about this! I know the NFL preview was Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, but the college preview... (brief pause, placing chin on fist contemplatively) I think it’s Trevor Lawrence?

Tater Correct! What magazine cover did Zimmboni appear on first?

ONSCREEN CAPTION Answer: Trick question! Jack’s first ever appearance on a magazine cover was not as a hockey player. He first appeared on People Magazine as a baby with his parents, Robert “Bad bob” Zimmermann and Alicia Zimmermann.

Eric Can I ask a question?

Tater ...no.

Eric Well, shoot, alright. If you mean his first cover as an athlete, I’ll say Sports Illustrated, but if you mean his first one ever I think it’s People Magazine when he was a baby.

Tater (censored beep) Wow!

Jack (raises eyebrows) You remember that?

Eric Well, you told me! And Alicia did show me when we visited for Christmas one year. (smug smirk)

Jack (covers face in hand, exasperated sigh) Of course she did.

Tater Next question! How many Super Bowl rings does Tom Brady have?

Eric Oh goodness. I think it’s five?

Tater Six!

Eric What?

Tater Is six!

Eric (groans) Of course it’s six. Whatever, it’s fine, I try not to think about Tom Brady anyway. I don’t mind getting this one wrong. In fact, I’m kinda glad because I certainly don’t care for the man. Like, who—

Jack Bits. We’re in the middle of a game right now?

Eric (blushes) Oh, right.

Tater It’s alright, B, haha. But we move on with game now, yes? (single nod) Now, how many rings Zimmboni normally wear?

ONSCREEN CAPTION Answer: 1.

Eric One! He usually just wears his wedding ring, but today he’s got his 2016 Stanley ring! Wanna show it off, honey?

Jack (sheepishly holds up hands to show the two rings)

ONSCREEN CAPTION Fun fact: The team who wins the Stanley Cup get matching rings. Jack got his first one when the Falcs won the Cup in 2016!

Tater Is tough one now: How many times have the Atlanta Falcons made the playoffs?

ONSCREEN CAPTION Answer: 14.

Eric (sighs) Oh Lordy, that's hard. Alright, so by the time I was born they were at five so— (voice continues in fast forward) —they did in ‘98, then... ‘02? After was 2004, not 2005, or ‘06... so the next one was 2008. Then there was that streak from 2010 to 2012. Then the next one was 2016, and then ‘17. Not ‘18 and ‘19. So that’s... (begins to count on fingers)

Tater (back to regular speed, looking impressed) You have answer, B?

Eric I'm gonna go with fourteen as of this year.

Tater (censored beep)!!!

Eric (laughs)

Jack (censored beep), Bittle.

Tater Is amazing! You have both number and years!

Eric I’m Southern, and my daddy’s a football coach. (shrugs) Can’t help it!

Jack (chuckles) This is why I wanted you to answer stuff about the football instead of baking.

Eric (rolls eyes, swats Jack’s arm) Oh, this boy.

Tater Next question! What is most number of times Zimmboni fight in one season?

ONSCREEN CAPTION Answer: 3 fights.

Eric Ooh, shoot. I should know this one too, huh? Okay, so his first season he only got in one fight— (voice continues in fast forward) —and second season was also one, I think. After that, uhh, I think he finally got in two. Last year was three maybe? And this season hasn’t even started. But last year? Was it three? I don’t quite—hm.

Tater (back to regular speed) Your answer, B?

Eric I’m gonna go with three fights for last season.

Tater (shaking his head)

Jack What did I say?

Tater (censored beep) Is correct. (huffs) What year did Falcons join the NFL?

ONSCREEN CAPTION Answer: 1965.

Eric Uhhh, oh goodness, I know Coach told me this at some point... (pause) I think it was 1965?

Tater Correct! What year Zimmboni first try skating?

ONSCREEN CAPTION Answer: 1992. Fun fact: Bad Bob had Jack skating as soon as Jack could walk!

Eric Skating, huh? ‘Cause I’ll bet the son of Bad Bob tried on his first skates before he even turned one, huh? (smiles cheekily)

Jack (nudges with elbow, gives Eric a small smile) Not the question.

Eric Oh alright, not the question. Hmm, I know it was before you turned three so, I’ll say... (drawling out answer) nineteen-ninety... two?

Tater (throws cards out of hand, shaking his head) Is correct again!

Eric Oh my god!

(high pitched sound as Eric fist pumps the air)

Jack (laughs, bringing an arm around Eric before kissing his cheek)

Tater B, I'm frustrate to say you know Zimmboni as much as you know football.

ONSCREEN CAPTION FINAL SCORE: Football = 6, Husband = 6. T I E ! ! !

Jack Knew it. Told you so, Bits.

Eric That sounds like a chirp, and I will not have that on my vlog, Mr. Zimmermann. So with that, I guess we’re done! (looks towards camera, claps once) Well, that about does it for today’s video! Thank you so much to my special guests, Providence Falconers’ Jack Zimermann and Alexei Mashkov, for joining me today. (gestures towards Jack and Tater)

Tater (nods with a wide smile) Thanks for having us, B!

Jack (smiles and nods) Always great to be here.

Eric Be sure to check out the Falcs TV videos too! Link in the description or right over here! (points to space, highlighted annotation inserted) And thanks for tuning in! Next week, I’ll have a new video for y’all on the best ways to add protein to your favourite sandwiches.

(Eric, Jack, and Tater wave at the camera)

Eric Bye, y’all! See ya next time!

Week 8 Research

Philip Zimmermann, Katie Garth and Tracy Honn

Masked Cell Towers of Tucson (2021)

Spaceheater Editions (Publisher) / Quarantine Public Library (Distributor)

Sequence

This book is printed on a single piece of paper cut strategically to be folded into a book with 8 pages. The sequence of this series is vital to how the book is then made. With the tree-celltowers being along the top and upside down, this allows for them to be rotated correctly when the page is then turned into a book. The 2 cactus-celltowers are together, the 2 palm-tree-celltowers are together and then the 2 long-tree-celltowers are together, leaving the title page and a singular cactus-celltower together. I like this sequence be it keeps similar cell-towers together which is pleasing to the eye. If they had been jumbled up with each other, it wouldn’t look cohesive. I draw inspiration from this kind of sequencing by keeping images with a similar story/vibe/look on the same spread.

Editing

These images are all taken from the same vantage point: the ground, so I think the use of cropping has played a huge role in getting these images to look cohesive together since the only thing they have in common is the cell-tower aspect and general location; otherwise nothing about the photos backgrounds are similar and not so easily tied together. The cropping pulls our attention to the cell-towers. Any other editing is quite natural. I draw inspiration from the editing style by keeping my editing style somewhat natural and just letting the photographs speak for themselves (this was something I only realised until half of my photographs were taken so needed to be re-edited).

How the book is interpreted because of this

Sequence and editing are crucial for creating a cohesive and visually pleasing photography series. When the sequence is disjointed, it becomes harder to interpret the meaning because I end up searching for similarities between the photographs. I prefer a sequence where the spreads are more aligned and consistent with each other.

Disclaimer

I am unsure whether these photos were taken by Zimmermann or his team or someone else, but the book itself was created and made by Zimmermann.
