@JANELABABY @spaldinghurst seeing this pic brought a real smile to my face this morning. i had been watching the news and smiles felt hard to come by. Can't help but think back to me and his dad watching wrestling when we were kids... the beat goes on...

Bill didn't rely on tricks in his songwriting. his songs are pure, efficient and undeniably authentic.

[Jim @wristbangles]

The Bill Withers news has me shaken. His music is eternal, incomparable and spiritually nourishing. Rest easy, Bill. Thank you so so much.

@manchelster You’re going to wanna watch the second episode. Blue dick delivery on the way.

When it comes to art what is cheating anyway? 2 the viewer the process doesn't usually matter- just the final product. The trick for the artist is to make their own personal rules about cheating serve the preservation of fun and enjoyment in the process.

[Jim @wristbangles]

Making visual art in the digital realm is loaded with all kinds of advantages that also double as temptations. Where to draw the line between shortcuts and cheating. (pun unintentional but appreciated.)

Hannah's folks gave me a nice new graphics tablet for xmas and I've been doing a lot of (digital) sketching and dipping my toe into digital painting. I've said it before but hallelujah for youtube. SO MANY TUTORIALS.

Shooting with different cameras keeps things fresh and exciting. It stirs up the enthusiasm and helps keep the photographer engaged with the process. All of this lends itself massively to better images.

[Jim @wristbangles]

to compare photography to playing music, switching between different cameras is not like switching from a strat to a les paul, it's more like switching from a electric guitar to a keyboard. The different voicing brings out different expressions from the player.

[Jim @wristbangles]

In general, I've been shooting a lot with my smaller micro four thirds camera over my full frame. It's cyclical- in a few months I'll be back on the full frame train.

My sister-in-law got me some instax film for xmas. I forgot how different it is to shoot with analog, let alone instant. They'er so tiny, its like shooting thumbnails. It exercises a whole different set of creative muscles. 📸

@SpotifyCares is there a customer service phone # i can call? my account has been hacked and the email route feels fishy... I'd like to be able to contact spotify directly and securely before i send screenshots from my bank statements

Sometimes it feels like I’m good at keeping the sadness at bay but once it breaks through my resolve I have a hard time pushing it back down.

[Jim @wristbangles]

Just feeling so sad today. Hearing about Bourdain this morning kicked it off but there’s plenty of other reasons to be sad too...

[Jim @wristbangles]

Obviously I don’t know him, I don’t know his struggles. i just wasn’t prepared for the news.
