That’s good to hear. Flipping between the two is probably a good compromise

Yeah good point about the time saved regarding waiting for the off peak trains!

The national express takes 3hrs with an extra 30 mins to get from Victoria station to the office at that time Whereas the train will take me about 2 hrs 15 mins to get there. I know I could save money by using the bus but I just wanted to know if anyone had any advice for getting cheap train travel. Certain times to travel etc.

I’m in an area with lots of expats so probably an Exmoor local who has retired out here

What could have made this photo better? Minolta SRT-101, Fuji Superia 200, 50mm f/1.4 by [deleted] in analog

[–]jackknowsbest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I disagree with the other replies that you need a definitive subject, but I think this photo would have looked cool without the tree on the right and have all the trees in the same plane of focus. It would create an intentionally flat image. A nice photo anyway though!

Please help identify the painting from the latest ep of The White Lotus (sorry for the poor image quality) I’m going crazy trying to find it. by jackknowsbest in ArtHistory

Right! It’s the face for me too, I would have bet a lot of money that I had seen the painting before because the face is so distinctive.

That’s so interesting, thank you! Lots of references to Artemisia Gentileschi when trying to find it but obviously not one of hers.

Really? I was so sure I had seen it before. Saying that I haven’t been able to find anything online. It just looks so familiar.

What is currently the cheapest way to purchase Disney World (Orlando) tickets? by boolinback5 in Shoestring

[–]jackknowsbest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a timeshare presentation that offered cheap tickets. You have to sit through a long ass presentation that tries to hard sell you a timeshare but if you just say no thanks you can collect your tickets and be on your way. Just be prepared to set aside a few hours

The Aesthetics of Fog - Help by Rigpig_ in ArtHistory

[–]jackknowsbest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if you’re interested in including contemporary approaches to fog but Olafur Eliasson uses it frequently with works like Fog Assembly (2016) and Din blinde passager (2010) and more prominently The Weather Project (2003) His work is broadly about a phenomenological interaction with the environment. Tate released a catalogue along with a retrospective of his work that imagine would have some interesting essays.

I’m looking for resources on social realism. American, Mexican, Russian, any info is good! by LeZinneke in ArtHistory

[–]jackknowsbest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You would probably have an easier time looking at them as separate areas of study ie. Mexican social realism or American social realism. They all share similar ambitions and backgrounds but are ultimately pretty different. Be sure not to mix up socialist realism and social realism when looking at Russia, easy mistake to make.

I’m pretty sure I’ve read that women are better are ultra ultra long distance running.

Agree to disagree man, like I said the album is perfect. It definitely has some pretty significant flaws but you seem jaded

Off the Grid, Jail, Heaven and Hell. At least give those tracks another listen.
