What movie did you watch over and over as a kid?
#NowandThen
A white statue of Queen Victoria, on a plinth and surrouned by metal railings. In the backaground is a large building with many narrow arched windows, two towers, turrests along the roof and lots of narrow poiinty things on all the roof edges and towers. In front of the statue are a series of shallow but very wide stesps. There are about seven boys and young men loitering here, leaning against the rails. One is crouched. They're dressed in brown/dark trousers and jackets, and wearing flat capts. Down the side of the railings is what looks like an older man, with a hat and white beard.
State of a serious looking woman holding a rod and ball. The state sits on a plinth raised on three circular stteps. Behind are yellow-leaved (autumn) leaves. To the left ia a large cathedral building. It is more in the background and dominating as in the postcard. There are no rails and no one loitering on the steps.
Bristol Cathedral & Statue, c.1910 & 2022.
The statue has moved slightly so the angle is different (and there's a busy street directly behind me that I was trying not to step into).

A old, printed, colour postcard, looking across a river near a bridge crossing. Direclty opposite is a church (St Nicholas) with a tall, steeple. Otehr church towers are visbile behind other buildings. A large boat or small ship is moored in front of the street running alongside the river (the mast is too high to be going under the brdige). In the other direction, a row of two narrow brown buildings face the river. THe have words (names?) acorss the front between rows of windows Warehouses? The street leading away from the bridge has awnings above the ground floor windows. Proably shops. There's a lot of traffic crossing the bridge and in the cross streets: pedestrians, horse-drawn carts and maybe omnibuses?
Same view but from a lower level. Same church directly opposite. Most of the other buildings are hidden by trees, although a church tower and steeple are visible. A lot of traffic still, but mostly vans, buses and people on foot. Not that different actually. They're just bigger.
Bristol Bridge and High & Baldwin Streets, c.1910 and October 2022

Reworking old #OCs. I started a new medication before I started trying to color it… so the colors are just a sloppy, basic color palette. My hands weren’t cooperating. :(
This is Nephilum, she was originally Orion’s first wife.

Here's part of my guitar corner. A cabinet FULL of vinted/aged old 🍷 wines (up to 30+ years in age!) with displays of HO Scale model steam locomotives, included. -Also, part of one of the household's art galleries is visible up top. Guitars visible are a child-sized SG for ease with my aging hands & fingers, a Charvel ProMod SoCal S, an Eastwood Sidejack DLX, an EB-3 bass & LesPaul E1 or something like that!
Happy place looking from old writing desk (Mom's) with chair & the LesPaul Koa Top guitar. Some of the Harry Potter wands collection on their wall display & one of several antique watercolor paintings of Paris, a household era antique wall phone are visible closer up. A walnut finish SG guitar is hanging next to a framed, complete album layout master copy featuring my/our photography- which is above one of our Python habitats on a wooden buffet are all visible in the next room.
Another happy place from more active, able bodied days was this Mamiya 645 medium format film camera with a couple of its lenses & its sizable flash array underneath it, in its travel & storage case. (Yes, all of the gear, negatives, files/drives, prints & stuff are stored in a huge, high temperature fire rated SAFE.)
A sampling of some of the digital camera gear. A favorite carbon fiber monopod & 2 lens filters, a pair of long lenses -one fixed 400mm, and one an equally long zoom lens, fitted with my cherished doubler device stands out in the portrayal here. Two digital SLR bodies & a few (4) of the lenses of the lens collection are also featured. In the back is a GoPro setup, and my huge flash setup/armature. (There's much more equipment nowadays, although it's also entirely stored in a fireproof safe!) We're not wealthy by any means, but we are definitely strategic & disciplined with the purchasing of our dream machines. Savings accounts matter!

"Yesterday Once More", written by #RichardCarpenter and #JohnBettis, is a hit song by #TheCarpenters from their 1973 album #NowAndThen. Thematically the song concerns reminiscing about songs of a generation gone by. It segues into a long #medley.

I revisited my 15 year old drawing. At the time it was the peak of my art, as my dad ( a painter) sketched the bg for me. Since then my art has been on pause for almost as long, but I slowly went back to drawing in 2025, and wanted to go for another try. #art #nowandthen #remake #artistjourney

"And it becomes this incredible anti-war song." - HEATHER COX RICHARDSON, Thanksgiving Wars, Now & Then #NowAndThen #thanksgiving
Não foi exatamente "inteligência artificial" que os #Beatles usaram, mas sim técnicas de aprendizado de máquina para que fosse possível separar a voz de John da gravação original.
