Same moment, facing West, then East at sunset tonight. November light, a gift that keeps giving.

Sunset through trees, facing West. Sunset reflected on trees facing East.

Got this beauty yesterday. The New Yorker is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Includes works by J. D. Salinger, Shirley Jackson, Vladimir Nabokov, Jamaica Kincaid, George Saunders, Zadie Smith, so many others. Stories that touch me in the brief magical way that short form fiction can.

If you enjoy my posts and games about movies and film music, I ask you to take just 30 seconds to read this.
And on Giving Tuesday, it would mean the world to me if you - my followers and friends here on Bluesky - could help us in any way you can at connorfund.org
Peace.

Late November has arrived, and with it, thoughts of being together with loved ones in the days and weeks ahead. December 15th is the day our son, Connor, would’ve been celebrating his 32nd birthday. In 2020, we lost him to his struggles with mental health issues and substance use. We began The Connor Sheehan Fund to provide support for programs that help teens, their families, and schools to identify mental health issues and substance use disorders among young people, and to promote awareness, communication and education about youth mental health in our communities. Visit our page at connorfund.org to learn about what we have accomplished so far. And if you are able, please help us do even more in 2026 by giving whatever you can. Thank you, Dan

I ❤️ this album. This song, each perfectly placed note, conjures a visual narrative, painting a poignant picture, a slice of our human lives.

Day 128 of my cover challenge:

1989 (UK) 1990 (US). Cover of The Cure's 1987 release that Robert Smith wrote about dancing with his future wife. Dinosaur Jr.'s version is a little faster and grittier.and is apparently Smith's favorite cover version. #MusicSky youtu.be/UT7IpRx08tE?...

I am astounded by how incredible the patterns inside icebergs can be. This does not look like frozen water!

Ice formations inside an iceberg, taken close up. The ice looks like a winding tube made of a gold/silver metal - does not look like ice at all!

When it's too windy to hold the camera straight, let a bit of creativity in...

Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) of some dead grasses on the black sand dunes. A little camera movement with the strong wind can make some nice dreamy effects.

Florine Stettheimer and Emma Lazarus-two women born decades apart, using the powerful symbolism of the Statue of Liberty, create a fascinating, indirect artistic dialogue across time that speaks to me today.
#Liberty #Justice #Poetry #Painting
Poem, "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus. Lazarus's sonnet, written in 1883, was inscribed on a bronze plaque inside the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty in 1903 and became a symbol of American ideals of freedom and welcoming immigrants. Florine Stehttheimer's New York–Liberty (1919) a painting depicts a Manhattan cityscape with the Statue of Liberty and a navy ship in the foreground. It is part of the permanent collection at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.

65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

“Life without art is not life.”

I want a Netflix series on this whole family - how they live and how they walk around in the world. They sound like people we would all get great value from knowing.
