Backside of the city, dark alley deep, Hazy winter moon, begins to peep. Noir colours, shades of gray, City sleeps, come what may. #StreetPhotography #nightphotography #photography #storytelling #snow #winter #urbangaze #travel #fineart #art #photographersofbluesky #humanism #fineartphotography

Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, "This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in; fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well! It must have been made to have me in it!" ~Douglas Adams #photography #streetphotography

In life's journey, we cross many a bridge, Each one a milestone, each one a ridge, Some lead to joy, some to despair, But all shape us, and leave their mark there. #StreetPhotography #photography #monochrome #storytelling #BlackandWhite #urbangaze #travel #classicmono #b&w #art #architecture

If you have cable, TCM is counter-programming the SOTU by airing the 1944 classic "Gaslight", by George Cukor. Starring Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman, it's considered the inspiration for the term “gaslighting", which refers to manipulating a person into questioning their perception of reality.

When it's too good to put down. _________________________________ #StreetPhotography #candidphotography #city #photography #monochrome #storytelling #BlackandWhite #urbangaze #travel #longexposure #classicmono #b&w #art #photographersofbluesky #photographersunited #BlackandWhitePhotography #reading

Empty streets, a silent sound, Just my footsteps on the ground. No taxi hails, no friendly face, Just empty streets, in this stark place. A noir scene, unfolds so slow, Where do I turn? Which way to go? #StreetPhotography #nightphotography #photography #monochrome #storytelling #classicmono #b&w

Celebrating William Eggleston’s photography: These vivid color photos are a mixture of Eggleston’s “big hitters” and “stuff never been printed before”. Taken between 1969 & 1974 from a world that has vanished, from derelict drive-in theaters to rusted Oldsmobiles. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

For Star Trek (STNG) fans, this is a much watch. Brent Spiner would love this. It’s interesting to see crew members of all ST series brought together. This is just so well done. The details are amazing. Good rock video. Lyrics. Music. Energy. And the AI held up! www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4mw...

Talent is a natural ability to use creativity. Skill is a learned ability to focus talent. #Talent being the raw, #creative fuel, and #skill as the disciplined engine that directs it. Together, they create a powerful combination. #art #creativity

The shutter clicks, a silent scream, Capturing this monochrome dream. A figure walks, a coat so dark, Leaving whispers, leaving a mark. A noir in snow, a haunting sight Caught in the darkness of the night. #StreetPhotography #nightphotography #photography #monochrome #HamOnt #city #classicmono #b&w

Right. Even if neurosis or psychosis may be present, the creativity that comes through still comes from that portion of the mind that represents ones basic core of goodness/sanity. Van Gogh wasn't great because he was mentally unstable, he was great because his sanity shone through as incorruptible.

Fun dance clip: Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore and Sylvia Lewis, who also staged and performed this silly threesome called the "Doodlin' Song" by Blossom Dearie on the Dick Van Dyke Show. The episode aired Oct 30, 1963 :: I love classic tv.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

The reason I have always loved #StreetPhotography has been given wonderful clarity with all the fuss about AI imagery. Though there can be street-photo-inspired 'digital art' that's not a photo, there will never be an AI Street Photograph. #classicmono #photography #b&w #monochrome #classicmono

January city, winter bright, Sun painted buildings in silver light. Air bites cold upon your face, A winter's sting in this busy place. Lift your head, let sunbeams stay, And chase the winter blues away. #StreetPhotography #photography #monochrome #storytelling #BlackandWhite #classicmono #b&w

May I present you this edit of Catherine O'Hara as Joan Crawford without further comment - (SCTV 1981).

Catherine O'Hara & Eugene Levy performing "A Kiss At The End Of The Rainbow" from A MIGHTY WIND at the 2004 Oscars🌈💔

Our collective Canadian artistic consciousness has been shaken to the core today. When I think of Catherine, it's not the big Hollywood tv and movie roles that first come to mind. It's SCTV. Aren't we the lucky ones to have lived in the time of Catherine O'Hara... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uoat...

RIP to a Canadian legend!

Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) James Cagney tap-dances down the stairs in an unrehearsed scene he thought up just before filming. The director warned it was too dangerous and told him to simply walk down, so he improvised the iconic stairway dance ignoring the advice—nailed it in one take. #classicfilm

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

In noir's cold grip, Headlights cut the misty air, A lonely soul, beyond compare. Shadows fall, a city sleeps, Except for whispers, secrets deep. He crosses quick, a whispered name, Into the dark, a dangerous game. #StreetPhotography #photography #monochrome #BlackandWhite #classicmono #b&w #urban

No better way to put all of this really. Some ppl say life imitates art. But lets be honest, art is driven by what has happened in the world. It's just that some auteurs are capable of distilling what they see around them and extrapolating forward in a Nostradamus-like way.
