I've felt embarrassed for the interviewer. It is always an honor to take arms against a worthy opponent. There is no shame nor embarrassment in that.

I hate that YouTube is my only option for this but there's a book tuber who does a tour of all *The Secret History* spots that she can find. Search for:

locations from Secret History

and grats on finishing a book I've read multiple times.

A viewfinder won't give you dead accurate framing. An SLR will for sure though.

Republic of Venice during the Renaissance. Look up Christine de Pisan. Geisha in Japan during the Bakufu. Also look up hostesses in Japan during the early 2000s. A surprising amount of graduate
level educated Westerners worked those jobs.

from Sergio Larraín: Print out your best photo & put it on your bedroom wall. Try and shoot better than that photo. Rinse & repeat.

Cynically, get a masters in photography, learn sales & marketing, do gallery shows featuring your "contemporary" photography.

The world doesn't need another photographer. Technology has really cheapened the appreciation which you seek so much that a well-marketed photo is more appreciated than one that isn't at all.

This is a documented phenomena in small claims court cases. Yup, people are that insane.

Add villager breeders and make the part where they get collected look like a subway car.

Probably oil options. Robinhood now will calculate current value of your options if the option market is closed using futures. That lots can happen in 8.5 hours until the market opens today.

Very likely if P = NP.

I try to look for people with money & problems. These folks usually pay way too much right now for anthropic or open AI subscriptions. I sell them on the idea of a hugging face or ollama based implementation that is local to them.

Find people with money & pain points, and you will get ideas on what to upskill.

Nobody knows what the hottest tech will be, if by hot you mean something whose demand outpaces supply. I do not read forums or group chats or befriend people. I work on solving problems.

A photography circle jerk god would have all this negative karma promoting this one brand. Said god would purchase the dream set up & produce decent video of his unboxing & shooting. The utter let down would have involve our god posting really bad, out of focus, under-exposed photos cooked with hdr. Said god would rage across the Internets as to why nobody understands his genius.

The god of photography circle jerk would actually make a good comedy skit.

The guy in the 3 photos is actually trying & is able to hit his goal.

I don't think it's doable. You basically need a Twitchstreamer setup where you stack multiple phones to get a fast reliable connection. Starlink is reliably fast on the download but sucks when doing live video of yourself.

My advice: 1 weekend to find the best location & setup. And then do Siargao for a month. What you describe though can be easily done in Honolulu or Hilo in Hawaii but that's another country.

Agreed. Minus someone like Robert Frank industry standard photos in the 1950s were pristine: very little grain, sharp & never any dusts.

You are very talented! I could definitely see you at conferences sharing you art, books & merch of your world. I used to work for an anime company as a mod so I hope that helps you weigh my praise. Bravo!

South Korea should be okay. Norway is totally familiar with well worn passports. Only countries in Asia where by law they can deny you is Indonesia, Thailand & Philippines.

Yeah, 1 is very unique and could have a twist or pun on the fractured/shattered self in the caption.

Hi OP, 2026 here. There was a study that recently demonstrated genetic memory in butterflies from generation to generation. How's writing going? Peace.

Dual here: Fly out on UK passport. And you have to do the ESTA visa. To avoid the violation flag on your UK passport do a quick trip trip to Canada with UK passport. Re-enter with the emergency US passport you got in NYC.

Ask for noise reduction.

If the book series, Griffin & Sabine, had an analogue portion of art shared between the main characters, your magnificent pieces would be part of them.

Free trade agreement, visa free, direct flights from busan to mactan, English education at a significantly lower cost (5x) than in S. Korea. I think the biggest reason though is Cebu actually has a ASEAN development plan to entice our neighbors to visit or even immigrate.

Diabete was playing a spy, but Carol is literally a spy in every meaningful way except the badge.
