@dodex100v@mastodon.online You're far too humble! And I'm sure both HCB and Leiter would be pleased that their legacy lives on!

@dodex100v@mastodon.online Just want to say I love your work and look forward to every picture you post. Such a distinctive style. The contemplative nature of Saul Leiter mixed with Cartier-Bresson's decisive moment. Modern and yet timeless.

Finally sorting out Gadgetbridge for my smart watch when I have a heap of work to do is definitely not procrastination... Stopping my data being mined by Xiaomi and automating my step count record in my journal is for sure more important than finishing important work and getting paid, right?

@SignalsAndSorcery Zero! There isn't one that deserves my money.

Not sure if I've recommended this before, but I'm really enjoying Phil France's Circle: https://philfrance.bandcamp.com/album/circle

this was more interesting than I anticipated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwr9e74S_J4 - via https://www.openculture.com/2020/03/take-a-3d-tour-through-ancient-giza-including-the-great-pyramids-the-sphinx-more.html

@gallaimage Guess it depends on which side of the fence you're sat on. Certainly someone else's interpretation of your work is not your responsibility, but isn't your response to a work of art an interpretation?

@gallaimage agree, tho there is always a context for your work, even if it is unspoken. This is sometimes in your control, but not always. The context isn't "in" the work but is both inherent to it - as in, the context from which you created it, as well as outside of it - as in the context it is received physically, and the mental context of your audience. Totally agree tho that wordy explanations of a work usually take away from rather than add to.

"If you are given responsibility without the power to make any changes, then you have just become the scapegoat" (via https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2023/02/13/broken/ ) - yep...

@senanthic have the couches and white walls, but not sure about the dignity 🤣 Also, still broke... Tho I do have a decent set of speakers 😂

@machinesbleedtoo I have been screamed at and physically assaulted for proposing things that are now recommended in NYTimes front page articles. I'll never engage with a self proclaimed leftist ever again (or anyone who comes across as one) and I'm an old hippie with strongly leftist values. The left are their own worst enemy, and are doing an incredible disservice to the very people they proclaim to be protecting. Thank you for helping correct course.

@marimo 🤣🤣🤣 you seem to have missed the "as a rule" and "almost without exception" parts of my toot. Don't worry tho, as a rule my friends know where they stand with regards to my opinions as our exchanges are just that, exchanges. Thanks for the presumptions and bad vibes tho 😘
