Emerging from the midterm trenches to remember a day of creativity in Ste Anne

#photography #dslr #eastcoastkin

Midday autumn sunshine among dark-orange maples leaves still hanging on to the branches

Dark red metal and white concrete lines of support below a bridge

Tall bushes of white chamomile-like flowers, with another bush of bronze-colored twigs with only seed buds at their end, with a red-brick wall behind them

Solitary 15-foot tree near a small house with white walls and a flat, rectangular roof; the tree still has many green and yellowed leaves on its branches and seems to have sprung from almost nothing, as only pavement surrounds it, along with a tall, brown, compost bin

Such sweet eyes, thanks for the enchantment, m!

I went and looked and apparently they cut down the Sacred Cedar?! What the hell, dudes?! The hell, indeed...

Anyway, I understand from your other posts why this would have spoken to you. I hope it helped with your grief, losing someone dear is very hard.

My share of the prize after ~2 hours of hardass digging at community garden

Right is marshmallow root, others are horseradish root. I'm big on horseradish and excited to make my own

Hah, surely there is something to be said about the coincidence of reading Gilgamesh during covid, idk what tho because I'm not familiar with it -.-

Bratansov @bratansov.bsky.social · 4d

Ah it's nice that your parents (I suppose) brought you to the library, I do the same with my kid and it's really important for me that he know that kind of place

Myths are absolutely creative but for me they go too far and lose the verisimilitude which makes a story matter

Bratansov @bratansov.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah, I got up early for this one. Was eating brkfst, saw some strands of light, started hearing birdies, immediately ran out and got on my bike to get to The Spot

I really loved Ninja Gaiden (2004), especially in Black and Sigma iterations. I thought the Wooden Sword/Unlabored Flawlessness progression was so cool that I copied it (sorta) in The White March.

The Unlabored Blade

The Unlabored Blade is a soulbound dagger in Pillars of Eternity, added in The White March - Part II expansion. It can be used by characters of any class. As with other soulbound weapons, the in-game ...

myths, huh? I'll admit I'm not usually too keen on those, but maybe it's my rationalist upbringing at work there. "the first condition of critique..." etc.

Yes, it is all the more dizzying for me after having been apple-picking and having carefully chosen each one by hand, and having tasted how delicious they are when freshly picked

Bratansov @bratansov.bsky.social · 6d

Thank you, m! As you've surely noticed, I like photographing trees. But I've been trying to apply the same kind of attention to other subjects. Glad you liked it!

Bratansov @bratansov.bsky.social · 6d

Has been recently coming back to me every day, after more than 2 years of seeing it. The movie's really good at showing how it feels to try to mitigate a horizon of irreversible change/trauma

Aug 3 2023:

Take Shelter (2011) showcases the acting prowess of Michael Shannon (& co). The film reflects on schizophrenia with striking photography, very tense narrative and a cathartic climax that is, sadly, kind of ruined by the epilogue. Still, perfect for movie night. 9/10
