Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Ecophony Rinne (1986)

Last and First Men (2020) by Jóhann Jóhannsson

An experimental science fiction film that adapts Olaf Stapledon’s 1930 book (which itself reads as a precursor to his 1937 book, Star Maker). The film is mesmerizing, soundtrack is amazing. Film was included with the soundtrack, can’t remember for which I was more excited.

Millstone project - January

Shot the first test roll yesterday for Millstone project, and two more rolls today. These photos are from earlier this month.

Millstone project - December

Photo studies around Bowen Park. My plan is to start shooting tests on 16mm colour film in January.

I had taken a picture of a tree growing out and over the river back in November. I didn’t know that would be a “before” shot. Now there’s an “after” (post-atmospheric river) shot of it snapped off.

I wonder if that’s the same heron that I photographed in November?

Millstone River

I took some photos around the Millstone River and Bowen Park in Nanaimo after my project proposal to shoot make a film that documents one year of the Millstone was shortlisted for the Temporary Public Art Program. I found out that the project was picked to go ahead on November 16. The next day we had our second baby.
