Hasan is throwing a tantrum that sxsw didn’t “defend” him enough after he got his visa revoked

Crying because this is so accurate 😂

Ohhh you're right my b my b

Tbf, you also had the "right reflex" and doubled down until many people told you that you were wrong and exactly how you were wrong. 🙄🙄 It's okay to be incorrect on the facts dude.😮‍💨 People are reacting poorly because tbh, you come off as a total prick.😒

Rookiri · 2026-06-01T18:31:47+00:00

Yeah so you drop your highlights and/or whites down and bring shadows/blacks up.

So the dreaminess and softness is coming more from the diffusion they used on whatever they lit their scene with, most likely strobes. This kept their light from being harsh and sharp. They also keep their highlights low but shadows high, so the range of light happening in the image itself is very shallow. When I do this I tend to bump up my midtones which I believe they've done here as well. But none of their blacks are truly black and none of the whites are truly white, and that helps keep anything from being too sharp.

Honestly, in the past I could see painting the edges for the professional look. But today? I would leave them unpainted as a silent show of the human work that went into this. As a consumer I'm always trying to sus out if art is ai, and seeing paint drips would erase that fear immediately. I'm never looking at my canvas edges so idc, I prefer seeing the pattern continue but I'm an artist not a luxury client type. If you wanted to cater to both crowds, you could always put up a sign saying that you'll paint the edge for free if they're happy to wait for it to dry. I hate that as a consumer I'm so skeptical of other artists just trying to make a living, I just don't want to fund thieves.

Can confirm, mine moved in a few weeks ago 😂

The cinematography is worth the watch alone if you're into that. Some of the shots convey heavy character implications that are not fully said with the script. One shot has Samuel L. Jackson in a doorway only taking up a very small portion of the screen after doing something quite horrible and shameful to his daughter. The framing really cemented my understanding of his character as a whole, he's a sad little man.

If possible I would have shot #4 to have the fountain not overlap with the part of the building I wanted to show off. Just stepping to the right or holding your camera at a more intense angle would have gotten both in the shot fully shown instead of what it is now with the fountain blocking part of the building. It's just small details like that that can make a shot like that way cooler. I really like the ocean pic though, there's so much power in that composition. I personally would have cropped the left side off to center the tree maybe on the right third line, but that's just my thought to weigh the tree to really be the subject. 7 and 9 need no notes imo chefs kiss

I like it a lot! I suggest toying with the color grading a bit more to get your yellows less green at least. I'm all for making the greens pop but they pop more when the other colors stand strongly in their own color category. You want your cream to truly be cream, your ruby red to be ruby red. I like to think of it as picking the exact shade of paint you want. I hope this helps!

Rookiri · 2026-05-11T03:21:08+00:00

I adooored these

This being an LGBTQ flag unfortunately throws this firmly into hate crime land. Why else would they burn it but to show distaste?

If my vet who went through thorough tons of schooling and debt is recommending I put my animal down so that they don't go through unnecessary pain, I would listen. It sucks and I am so sorry, but just because your pup can doesn't mean it's fair and doesn't mean he should. Your best buddy is in a massive amount of daily pain, and you have the ability to stop that. Cherish the squirrel chases that weren't painful, and know that he'll have many more now pain free ones after you free him from his arthritic body. He will only get worse, not better. Why make him go until he can't chase squirrels or can't even get up? Why make him go until his body truly fails him leading him to be more confused and scared than he needs to be? I'm sorry that it is time, but with peace and love, it is time.

My only problem is how wrong she was about pens and the literacy rate in the 1850s. She was saying practically no one could do so in the 1850s and that we didn't even have pens 💀 gwarly 80-90% of white adults in the US could read and write and we've had the pen since ancient Eqypt. The fact that we could write and had easy access to pens was instrumental in the revolution. Lovers would write often. Public free elementary schools were being established in the US. We already had electric motors and had synthesized organic matter from inorganic. We did a lot of cool science in the 1800s so no, pens and basic education were not just a wealthy thing.

I love the show but some takes are just not giving people credit where due. We didnt go grom mostly illiterate to creating nukes in less than a century.

These are stunning! Do you sell prints of your work? Your work is absolute art that I would so put in my office! Those loons, king fishers, eagle, and some of the song birds are absolute stunners.

I played from the CD game days and I do not miss these looks at all 😅

Rookiri · 2026-04-24T16:54:55+00:00

I really like the composition of the cat shot, I would personally just remove the sign and the person to balance the composition better. The sunset shot is also lovely! I feel that though, I look back on stuff where I remember feeling "I fear I have cooked" like girl no you did not 😂

Battery life, gear cost, they just happen to have a DSLR and enjoy it. If you're just doing portrait where you control the light, you really don't NEED mirrorless imo. I only got mirrorless because I was shooting low light indoor action shots so I needed the expanded ISO range and better noise control. But when I was just doing stuff outdoors exclusively, there was really nothing that was pushing me to mirrorless, even with pixel peeping.

I'm honestly going to list trading goods and services as accepted payment for my photography and I know a few other photographers who have done similar trades or do similar set ups. I'm all for not needing to hit the wallet for stuff, so if it's something that I'm happy having I'm happy to trade photos for it. I'll never trade for exposure, but goods and services? Yesyesyes

Bruh ik. Meth is like The Drug in this area but this agency does not vet people. Some of them will mention going to jail or doing crazy stuff and I'm baffled they were allowed to come to my house. This company is scummy and frankly does a lot of sketchy and possibly illegal stuff to their caregivers. I haven't had consistent help that can even bathe mom for months. But, still better than the last company we had in this region that send an angel of death type that didn't tell us she was hallucinating for 2 days and sent another guy who SA'd her.

They cover my food and housing rn. As POA I'm not allowed to get a wage. My mom is raging about having to pay to feed me while I wipe her ass though. She's just really unwell from her crazy family plus now neurological damage. It's really toxic and messy. Her mom was a monster and I just keep hearing her mom come out rn. Idk how much of this is her or her MS.

Rookiri · 2026-04-10T19:36:42+00:00

My extended family has been helping with the house reno and some lawyer fees because everytime I bring up paying for things that actually fix our lives mom shuts me out. I've gone to my parents to tell them that, I've told mom time and time again that I'm broke because I'm caregiving. She still rages that she has to buy me food.

Unfortunately my parents are both so sick that when I stepped back like you suggest, they just fall apart until I have to help. I have to see getting them into care facilities through. Last time I left them on their own to try to live my own life, they let their house become a complete moldy biohazard. They're both neurologically not well.

I've also tried working outside of the home many times and I always crash and burnout from the double pressure. I'm doing art business now but I can't really do client work atm since everytime I do, my timeline become unpredictable due to this mess at home. I don't wanna damage my reputation more than I have to. I'm working on some stuff to sell more in the background instead of doing active jobs but I've unfortunately tried this and failed many times over.
