The Thirtieth Day of Impatient Patience

Patience in Impatience and Impatience in Patience by Maria L. Berg 2023 This month each day’s study of contradictory abstract nouns has been synonyms of my personal Big Five contradictory abstract nouns. These last five days are the Big Five. Today I’m out to capture the patience in impatience and the impatience in patience. I reviewed its synonyms on the fifth: endurance and shortness; the…

Best photo manipulation I've ever done. Using good old Photoshop CS5 (or maybe CS4, I don't remember now, but it was before content aware fill).

My original photo was taken on an overcast day. Lighting was dull. I was in Graphic Design at the time and we had learned some neat things with the Multiply filters and using them selectively. I had also been looking at Brian Froud's illustrations of fairies and took inspiration from how he made his water look like it was glowing. Took me hours to do and I don't even remember everything I did to it. I'd have to find the PSD file, which I might not even have access to since it was on an external hard drive that went kind of wonky.

Anyway, now it looks like it's in dappled light under a heavy forest canopy. :)

Some others of the same waterfall:

And the wintertime too!

I really like this one:

All my photos. All my edits. :)

gin, we need your critical opinion about megalopolis. was it really that bad?

i mean.

is it unwatchable? no. but also it is not good for sure. would love for it to be a case of "so bad it circles back being somehow good", but unfortunately no, becasue in order to achieve such a thing coppola should have gone camp and embraced the style instead of taking himself too seriously.

there are. ideas. that considered by themselves sort of make sense if you are desperate to find sense in this insanity of a movie, but whether within or without context for the large part they remain disjointed. and are anyway very cringe at core. i don't know how to put it kindly but the script just sucks. and choices were made.
