Sunday. Yet another day where everybody's feeding the plagiarism machines.

Autumn's faces

A reminder. Minding your business is a superpower. Instead of looking around, looking back, conserve your energy and invest it in your short - and long-term well-being. Oh, and never forget that quite often, the reactions of others say more about them than about you.

Reality often feels like it's playing games with us, connecting dots we didn't even know existed. In this sense, all forms of artistic expression become an exploration, a search for answers, not just a representation of realities outside or inside ourselves. Art assigns meaning.

@e_retlaw Thank you!

@Nik_take_note Nice!

This is one of my favorite shots from the past year. It has an impressionistic look. It is originally a black and white shot on which I added color by hand. I think this gives it a unique identity because it became a mixture of photography and painting. boxdnegativ.etsy.com

@NestorBalza3 Thanks Nestor!

@Nik_take_note So do I. The color is the most striking thing when I see the work for the first time. Light and shadow are there to bring out the color.

How about some art. Here's an abstract photography collage with overpainting. I made this one a couple of months ago , early October. It's all about the color, I think. At least for me the warm hue and tone does it. boxdnegativ.etsy.com

Anything can be art. A candlelight burning and a few keystrokes on the piano.

Why would a gay guy in his sixties,and I mean Tim Cook,donate a million to the president's inauguration fund. Why donate to those who actively worked against you? Apple prides on being environmentally conscious. That's why it had fought tooth and nail the right to repair movement

I read that political content gets the most engagement since it's polarizing. Anger and hate are two of the strongest human emotions. Heres a Monday morning reminder. Environmental issues are political issues. The worldwide destruction is mandated by policy not lack of technology

Alan watts said that you're under no obligation to be the same person you were five minutes ago. Change is a constant possibility. We're shaped by circumstance, by our reactions. Even when we feel we stay the same, we don't. We're like a polaroid shot that never stops developing.

Hey fellow traveler! You live in a city? Open up the windows and breathe in the beautiful morning breeze, filled with cancer causing particulate matter. Drink a glass of crystal clear water filled with microplastics that the poluting corporations forgot to tell you about.

Red hues, deep blacks, sweeping brushstrokes, and overlapping shapes. I'm quite content with how this piece of work turned out. boxdnegativ.etsy.com

I just read that Meta has apparently rolled out AI agents. Thats profiles of AI generated characters who are supposed to interact like real people. Chat, like, comment, post and have private conversations. So I guess there's yet another new reason to spend less time on instagram!

Saturday morning reminder. Today you're the youngest you'll ever be . How about you stop avoiding yourself. Start today.

Night sky . Abstract nature . A game of hide and seek between shadows and light. Boxdnegativ.etsy.com

Now here's a fact. We inevitably mirror those around us. Its an instinct. Might as well choose more carefully who we spend our time with then. Wanna be better at something? Hang around those who are better at it. Wanna be more motivated? Spend time with people who are.

Abstract videoart. It means whatever you want it to mean.

A reminder.Environmental activism is social activism.We are drowning in microplastics.And microplastics don't discriminate.They poison everyone.Progressively higher cancer rates in youth worldwide is a tough pill to swallow. It sure ain't because we're becoming healthier...
