The dangers of comfort zone

Comfort zone discourages any real learning and in turn limit new ideas and possibilities. It discourages risk and since creativity is about doing and making things that are new and unknown to us, it can’t happen without the willingness to risk failure. The comfort zone discourages us to hunger for more, to be better, to make better art and to try new things. The comfort zone says its good and…

Apple Highlights Some Of The Most Effective (and Most Popular) Apps Of 2022

As expected, Apple's event right this moment wasn't about heralding any new hardware -- it was about shining some gentle on among the yr's standout apps. (If Android is extra your factor, anticipate Google's own list of first-class apps to drop shortly, too.) Apple's selections this yr run the gamut from artsy -- Spectre Camera helps folks take lengthy-exposure photos with their iPhones -- to sensible fare like Affinity's desktop publishing app for the Mac. With that mentioned, a few of the alternatives listed here are notably attention-grabbing.

Sayonara Wild Hearts was simply essentially the most stylish of Apple Arcade's first games, so its nod right here feels well-warranted despite being a cross-platform title. And the same might be mentioned for Hyper Mild Drifter -- it is a little strange to see it take the crown for Best iPad sport of the 12 months when it debuted on PCs and Macs over three years ago. (Eva Gaspar, CEO of Abylight Studios, informed Engadget they took on the venture of adapting HLD for iOS after completing the Change port final year.) Regardless, there are a handful of fascinating decisions that even we hadn't heard of earlier than, so be certain to take a look at the complete listing beneath.

iPhone App of the 12 months: Spectre Camera (Lux Optics)

iPad App of the Yr: Stream by Moleskine (Moleskine)

Mac App of the Yr: Affinity Publisher (Serif Labs)

Apple Tv App of the Year: The Explorers (The Explorers Community)

iPhone Recreation of the Year: "Sky: Youngsters of the sunshine" (thatgamecompany)

iPad Game of the Year: "Hyper Gentle Drifter" (Abylight S.L.)

Mac Sport of the Yr: "GRIS" (Devolver / Nomada Studio)

Apple Tv Sport of the Year: "Marvel Boy: The Dragon's Entice" (DotEmu)

Apple Arcade Recreation of the Year: "Sayonara Wild Hearts" (Simogo)

As traditional, Apple additionally provided details on the yr's most downloaded apps. You'd most likely see many of those titles coming from miles away, however still -- it is fascinating to see how sure apps, firms and platforms stack up over time. Take TikTok as an example: It is an unabashed phenomenon now, albeit one that is also inflicting concern in the upper echelons of multiple governments. This 12 months, it was Apple's fourth most downloaded free iPhone app -- that is a pretty big leap from final yr, the place it placed 16th.) And while Photography-blogs , Instagram and Snapchat proceed to assert the first, second and third place crowns respectively, Bitmoji dropped out of the highest ten entirely this year. Guess those customized clothes weren't enough to keep individuals hooked.

The Tale of Madame Laree || Part I

Shot on Cinestill 800 T and experimental 35mm

Analog film story and lyrics by @annamadsen

Madame Laree

Marina was nineteen with an aura

full of light beams

that could pierce any

lucky man’s heart.

Her lips were stained with berries

her voice brought in the canaries,

because they wanted to sing her song -

She was full of beauty,

but her heart was rather lonely,

so she called upon Madame Laree.

Madame Laree

With your tarot and teas

Won’t you bring me company

And a man who will love me?

Madame Laree

With your wisdom and foresight

Don’t make this pretty girl

Alone tonight.

Well, a handsome villain came

To town and Marina’s heart

Fell to the ground,

His eyes cast a winsome spell.

Well he broke her heart

And left her there

To weep upon the city square

And Marina cursed Madame Laree

She was full of fire

And her broken heart conspired

She called upon Madame Laree

Madame Laree

With your tarot and teas

Won’t you bring me company

And a man who will love me?

Madame Laree

With your wisdom and foresight

Don’t make this pretty girl

Alone tonight.

Marina was 23

With a broken mind and blackened dream

Her lovers turned to trophies by her side

Her lips were stained with poison words

Her life brought darkness close to her

And she felt no happiness in side.

She once was full of beauty

Now her heart was rather lonely

So she called upon Madame Laree.

Don’t make this pretty girl alone tonight.

Bring me a love that will last through time!

Don’t make this pretty girl alone tonight!

Don’t make the same mistake

And fool me twice.

Madame Laree

With your tarot and teas

Won’t you bring me company

And a man who will love me?

Madame Laree

With your wisdom and foresight

Don’t make this pretty girl

Alone tonight.

I’ve got your reading.

Don’t double cross me.

(I’ll never forget)

Bring him back

(I’ll never forget)

Madame Laree.

An abstract state of mind

Abstracts are very special to me. They engage the imagination in amazing ways. Abstract images have a unique quality that allows viewers to engage their imagination and interpret them in various ways. The absence of a clear context or recognisable subject in abstraction provides a certain freedom for personal interpretation. It allows each viewer their own experiences, emotions and perspective…
