2s’Day — 3.3.26

in two parts– from the Hermitage, but not about it .

Béla Tarr (21 July 1955 – 6 January 2026, 70y). Tarr was a critic of nationalism. In a 2016 interview said, “Trump is the shame of the United States. Mr. Orbán is the shame of Hungary. Marine Le Pen is the shame of France. Et cetera.”[ — wikip.]

he said his films had been misunderstood: “My opinion is that we were doing comedies. You can laugh a lot.” He added that they were not pessimistic. “I only ask this – how did you feel when you came out of the movie theatre after watching my film? Did you feel stronger or weaker? That’s the main question. I want you to be stronger.” — guardian, 2024.

Tarr tempts me to open a roll of film… to modify my current table.. however, my self powered life demands I walk my path with sideward glances to others, many others.

There are several YTubes… this is one I saved —

Notes about topics, timings, temptations... daily, I ask myself the simple question of why. It is answered but remains, recurs daily. As if the question is more important than any answer… any found answer. So to the curious, I will be marking posts as PHO or NOPH in the “excerpt” sent out into the netiverse. Also, some remarks on remakes, etc will have an image something like:

永遠の今 eternal now. continuing from yesterday … words from a different language carry your thought in what seems a newer pocket– a better basket. Much like place changing. but, you are always within a now, one very long now.

what I had first thought to say was that changing a paper should be considered as ongoing. there has never been one perfect paper. flexibility has been granted, partially, with digital. Prints aren’t endpoints, they’re pause points in the process.

My pronouncements are meant for me. Upon my reflection .

As one thing comes into view… tools changing tools means making alters the maker. As I entered scanning, printing my early films, I was given poor advice by the ready to answer crowd. Those first efforts resulted in damaged film… so it goes. Many of those were favorites. Someday I may find a way to repair — reuse them.

Beware the advice given by the early hunters of the new bird. They can’t fly either.

NB: I collect notes using a pad, often paper, backs of prints… but, write, post from a desktop. Differences in width and duration may appear as marks.
