Happy World Bee Day! Let's give thanks for these tiny hardworking pollinators who play a huge role in our ecosystem. They are vital to our food supply and biodiversity. Bees can sense electric fields and navigate using the sun, and have to visit millions of flowers to produce just a pound of honey. Remarkably intelligent, they have excellent memories, they perform a waggle dance to guide each other to nectar, and can even recognize human faces. Yet they are increasingly threatened by climate change. Rising temperatures, shifting blooming seasons, and extreme weather events disrupt their life cycles and food sources, putting both wild and managed bee populations at risk. Without bees, many of the fruits, vegetables, and nuts we rely on would disappear. As we face a changing climate, it's more important than ever to protect them. By planting pollinator-friendly gardens, reducing pesticide use, and taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we can help bees thrive and ensure a healthier planet for all.Noah Wilson-Rich, Ph.D. is co-founder and CEO of The Best Bees Company, the largest beekeeping service in the US. He is a 20-time published author and 3-time TEDx speaker. He's on a mission to improve pollinator health worldwide as a means to support our global food system and support the transformation of urban areas from gray to green. He is the author of The Bee: A Natural History.“I was originally drawn to bees because they're social creatures. And as humans, I always wanted to know about ourselves and how we can be our healthiest selves and our healthiest society. Bees and wasps, and all of these organisms have been around for so long.

This is part two of our conversation with Anna Mullikin. Picking up where we left off last week, this episode is the interpretation of Anna's dream The Changing Of The Times. In this episode you will learn a bit more about this dreamer, her gifting in discernment, counsel and deliverance and perhaps get a little glimpse into what might be coming next for her! As always, there is much to learn from other people's dreams and the way God speaks to them. Perhaps Anna's dream will spark something you needed to hear for your own.

May 12, 2025I am frustrated and fascinated by how my ego, my false self,is dealing with the major transitions I am facing right now in my life. I am continuingto learn, through a translation of the Psalms by Nan Merrill, through MichaelSinger, and many other spiritual and psychological teachers, that when the egois uncomfortable, it builds walls of illusion. The ego is driven strictly by fearof not being ok, not being in control, loved, or safe, so it builds stories ofhow it can be okay. We build a house of illusions, and, as Michael Singerstates, it's a house of horrors.Today we will hopefully experience a moment where our trueselves can be at peace and commune with God, with love. Then we will see whathappens as we allow a thought or fear to surface, and how we end up back in ourhouse of illusions once again. We will settle and let go so that we can takethis thought or fear back out of the house and into the open air. For our listening portion today, I pulled together a few phrasesfrom various Psalms as translated by Nan Merrill in the book, Psalms forPraying,“Distracted by greed and arrogancewe do not hear the Beloved's Voice whispering in the silence:‘Awaken all of you living in darkness! We are all One in Love Consciousness.You live in my Heart even as I dwell in yours.'”– Psalm 2“Now, I shall forgive all illusions that my ego tries tobuild.” “Rise up, Love! Set me Free!”- Psalm 3The Michael Singer podcast I quote:  https://open.spotify.com/episode/0qqZhl8ALcFVdpxLDctIFPPhoto by Lena Polishko on Unsplash

早安，我是咔图摄影教育中心的讲师星明。前两天呢，有朋友问到我拍摄静物的时候该怎么搭配的问题，我想了一下这个问题刚好也适合在早自习里讲一讲，那么今天我就来跟大家分享一下我的一些个人的经验。一般在正式拍摄静物之前呢，我会先确定好要拍摄什么风格，这会影响到我的接下来的一些搭配。比如说我想要拍摄一个传统风格的照片， 那么很可能首先就会想到要用竹制或者木制的道具以及一些植物等等。Photo by 五玄土 ORIENTO on Unsplash那比如像这张类似于废土风格的照片，我就会用到霓虹灯，还有废弃的锁链啊、金属啊这些质感的道具。© 星明那像下面这一张现代简约风格的照片呢，基本上只用到线条和光影就足够了。© 星明确定好风格之后呢，接下来我就会考虑色彩上面的搭配。我一般比较倾向于用和拍摄主体相邻的色系，甚至是和拍摄主体相同的颜色，然后通过光影来区分主体和背景。这样做有一个好处，就是画面整体会比较的和谐，比较容易出意境。© 星明那当然还有相反的做法，也是比较常用的。那就是用和主体互补的色系，这样的搭配方式呢，就会给人以很强的视觉冲击力。比较常见于化妆品等等这一类的拍摄题材。那么确定好拍摄风格还有色彩搭配以后呢。我觉得还可以在内容上和拍摄主体做一些搭配。我们先以美食来举例。在拍摄美食的时候，我通常就会选择一些可以凸显美食的食材或者是美食的口味的道具进行搭配。那么第二种情况呢，就是可以考虑这个静物的使用场景，我们可以用场景来做一个搭配。© 星明除了前面这些搭配方法以外呢，我觉得合适的时候还可以在内涵上考虑做一些搭配。比如说下面这张酒的照片，这个酒的名字就叫黄金甲，酿酒师跟我说他的这个创作灵感就是来源于电影《黄金甲》。所以在拍摄的时候呢，我就也取材了电影里面最常见的两种元素。相信大家都能看出来是哪两种对吧？那么这个就是内涵上做了一些搭配。© 星明当然了，这些搭配的方式也不是一成不变的，甚至可以刻意采用相反或者制造冲突的搭配，也能得到一些意想不到的效果。这个呢就需要大家做更多的尝试了。© 星明那么关于拍摄静物的时候怎么进行搭配啊，我目前就想到了这么多。也欢迎同学们在早自习的评论区里留言，分享你的看法。好了，今天先就聊这么多，我是咔图摄影教育中心的讲师星明，每天早上6:30，微信公众号以及喜马拉雅的“摄影早自习”栏目，我们不见不散。

大家好，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第2457天，我是咔图摄影教育中心的讲师李明。我估计很多摄影师跟我一样，想做短视频，想做抖音、小红书、视频号，想做自己的自媒体，但一直没去最终落实，最近稍微厘清了一些思路，分享给大家。Photo by Cody Scott Milewski on Unsplash首先要不要做短视频？这个问题我估计点进来的人的答案基本是想做的。那我的答案很简单，最好做，但也可以不做。为啥最好做呢？因为短视频浪潮已经不可避免，而摄影师本身就具备短视频拍摄的很多先天优势，比如对画面的把控， 照片本身的美感，前期后期的技法，都是现成的优势，加以运用，再结合短视频的传播会有很好的叠加效果，1加1大于2。那为啥可以不做呢？因为现在做短视频做自媒体的人太多了，但不是所有人都适合的。尤其是你自己拧巴，还没想清楚，那就不要做。因为如果要做短视频，尤其是注重内容的，我觉得当下你必须做持久，就跟你开一家线下店一样。如果想要做的持久，那你就必须保证长期好的内容的输出，要有一定的差异化，还要控制制作成本，还要面对暂时无法变现，甚至长期没有流量的的现状。因为有那么多优秀的人、团队、公司在做内容，抢流量，凭什么你认为你做的就会有好的结果？所以你没想清楚这些事之前，就先别做。而想清楚了，还是决定要做的，那么有简单几个思考可以分享给大家。Photo by Jakobowens on Unsplash首先，你要了解平台的调性。抖音、小红书、视频号甚至是B站。你想在哪个平台做。你要想好。因为每个平台的调性是不一样的，虽然都是做短视频，都是内容，但调性不一样，决定了观众不一样。你可以理解为这是三个不同的电视台，它们播放的内容不一样。有的是播放好玩的肥皂剧，有的是是播放有用的、好看的偶像剧，有的是播放有深度，有思考的访谈节目。当然，你也可以三个平台都做、都发，没问题，一个视频可以发三个平台。但你在设计内容的时候，最好一个以一个平台为主，其他的为辅，这样你会比较清楚你的内容要怎么长期的做下去，细节哪里要注意的，你要清楚你的观众喜欢什么，如何真正的吸引住他们。其次，你找好平台以后，你要找里面的对标帐号。目前我大致了解了几种适合摄影师的风格，大家可以听听。首先是自己不出镜，只发自己作品的，就是各种图片配上音乐轮播的让人欣赏作品。或者配上一些文字做成图文，也可以配上旁白，做成照片视频的，说明这些照片怎么拍的，具体的一些参数，这是一种。还有就是你就是你自己可以出镜，然后教大家一些摄影技巧。比如闪光灯的使用，比如人像如何拍摄，比如静物如何拍摄，甚至带大家去旅游，告诉大家旅游怎么拍摄。这些都可以用第三视角的画面，拍摄你在拍照的过程，搭配摄影师讲解，最后融入自己的作品展示来制作一些短视频内容。还有一种比较高级的玩法，就是把摄影作为一种工具，类似做真人秀，街头采访这种。比如大家看到的，帮一个小摊店主去拍一张照片，然后把照片发给他，去作为一个善意的传递，也有去帮人拍照，完成一个梦想的。其实就是去带观众去体验生活，探究情感，去探索照片背后的人的故事，做个人IP的。总之，你要找好对标帐号，然后拆解内容，设计自己的短视频框架。Photo by Luigi Estuye, LUCREATIVE® on Unsplash最后，你自己要怎么做。我觉得你找到自己想要做的内容了，你就不要想太多了，就去模仿，要去执行一段时间，去做个几个甚至是几十个视频，看下效果，看下问题在哪。但是内容核心点是要利他，因为短视频真的太多了，你要吸引观众就是要能够长期的输出一些有价值的内容，同时你还要保证输出的同时，你自己也能够不断的学习和补充。否则输出一段时间你会发现，你没东西输出了。所以在前期确定方向的过程中，你要考虑你的短视频输出的成本，不管是时间还是金钱上的，这样才能打持久战。最终你还是最好要思考清楚怎么变现。因为别人对你最大的认同就是为你付费，可以是观众付费，也可以是广告付费等等。所以你得想好阶段，一开始免费做，低成本的做。但免费的往往是最贵的，你能坚持多久？几个月？几年？那你做这件事的目的是什么？只是纯粹为了好玩？最终收不收费？怎么收费？不管怎么样，怎么保证视频内容稳定的输出，这个是你要想明白的。这就是目前我的一些思考。我也正在开始逼自己固定的输出一些短视频内容，就像在早自习一样，只不过从文字和音频变成了视频。等我再打磨下，或许后续大家可以见到。不知道我能不能像早自习一样坚持2000多期，总之很佩服叶老师，也希望有朝一日，能成为叶老师这样的厉害的老师。 好了，今天就简单聊到这，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的2457天，每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”以及喜马拉雅的“摄影早自习”栏目，我们不见不散。

扫码关注我的视频号上午10点直播间学摄影早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第2458天。有一位叫珍珍的同学向我提问，问了一个比较典型的问题，也是一个比较深奥的问题，她说：摄影怎么学可以边学边享受摄影的乐趣？这个问题其实挺好的，很多人在学习的过程中本来是一个爱好，结果学着学着就觉得挺难的，或者是觉得有一些打击，甚至觉得太烧脑了，就慢慢的不喜欢了或者是放弃了。我们有很多种方式让自己学得更快乐一些。Photo by li shanting on Unsplash首先呢，学摄影这种事情一定要明确你的学习目标，我们是来玩的，我们是想把我们玩的东西玩的越来越好。所以，首先玩得好不好它不是你快乐与否的一个标准，并不是说我拍的好我就快乐，拍的不好就不快乐了，不是的，是我就爱干这个事儿。这有点像登山，是吧？有的人是专业登山运动员，他可能一爬就要去爬珠峰去，但是我们就是喜欢在500米、800米高度的小坡上爬一爬，走一走散散心。爬的专不专业不重要，重要的是我看到的这些景，跟朋友在路上聊天，这个是快乐的。所以拍照这件事你首先要明确它就是要享受快乐的，不要有那么大的压力，不是做什么事情都必须要受到别人的认可你才能快乐的。© 叶梓就比如说我现在吃到好吃的了，我就想拍一张这个菜，回头我发朋友圈，要哪天要万一它（被）翻到了，我还能想起那天那个菜特别好吃就行了。当然了，如果你是后来玩的越来越深了，你也会因为我把这个菜拍的特别好看获得双倍的快乐，但这个事儿就不必强求，给自己点时间慢慢来。第二个就是你一定要拉长摄影学习的战线，你不要以为说是我这一个月两个月就一定能学完它、学好它，不可能的。而且你也没有这个必要啊，给自己那么大的压力，咱又不是应试要考试什么的，对吧？没有一个时间节点是必须要去完成它的。摄影的学习其实更像是一个终身的学习，它就是每年都比前一年要拍得更好一点点，每年对摄影都有新的感悟，这才是一个更好的学习摄影的状态。© 叶梓第三呢就是讲究一个学习的方法。咱们学摄影的时候千万不要死记硬背所有的知识点，就一定要有一个背后的整体逻辑在穿插。比如啊，说初学者学摄影，所有所有的技巧都是为了干一件事，就是把话讲清楚。这个有点像我们写作文，小学生写作文先不说辞藻多华丽，讲话多生动，你首先把你要讲的话给说清楚了。比如说今天我吃到了一顿很好吃的饭菜，句号。唉，这个其实就是一个讲得清楚的话。这个在摄影里面就对应着一些基础的比如说曝光要正确啊，这个人不能完全曝光过度了或者不足，然后对焦要正确，它不能是模糊的呀，另外就是什么减法原则啊等等，都是为了去把这个事儿给讲清楚了。© 叶梓第二个追求，就是你讲的话要优美一点，多一点修辞手法，在语文中对应的是什么排比句啊、对比啊等等的这种东西。但是在摄影中它可能就是色彩的对比，比如说重复与突变啊，三角形构图啊、框架构图啊……这都是为了照片更漂亮，这是你第二个学习目标。© 叶梓第三个目标就是要用摄影当做你的一门语言，来讲述你的世界观，表达你的情绪情感，表达你对人也好事也好的这种感受和感情，或者是人和人的关系，人和世界的关系。这些东西就对应着作文中的中心思想，你的所有技巧，最后都是为中心思想服务的，能够比较畅快的去表达你的想法，这个作文就会比较有价值。真正最后有价值的肯定是中心思想，肯定不是你前面的一些技巧，对吧？所以摄影也是一样的，这个照片感不感人，最后看的是你的中心思想，而不是看你前边的所有的那些技巧。你明确了这三个阶段的学习顺序、学习目标，然后你学的所有的技巧就不会是无理由的了，你就不是说我在背诵那一千个、一万个摄影技巧，那你得累死自己，对不对？更何况这里边很多摄影技巧，它其实背后都是万变不离其宗的，都是有一个比较中心的思想的。© 叶梓就比如说这个摆姿势吧，你可能有50种不同的摆姿势方式，但是其实它都遵循一个总的原则，就是要生活化，要合理化，要让我们看到这个姿势觉得不怪，这是一个基本前提。你用这种方法来学摄影，你就不会特别的痛苦，说老师我背不下来啊那些技巧，不会的，因为你理解了摄影。成年人学东西啊，背诵这种死记硬背的记忆力其实不如孩子的，但是我们的理解力是远远强于孩子的，所以要用适合自己的学习方法。好吧，今天我们就简单讲了这么几个方面，如何快乐轻松的把摄影给学好。如果你觉得老师讲的有道理，也欢迎你把今天的早自习分享给你身边那些学摄影的朋友们，发到群里边，让大家一起来共享，一起来讨论。也欢迎大家继续关注我的视频号，二维码我就放在语音下方了。今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第2458天，我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”，以及喜马拉雅的“摄影早自习”栏目，不见不散。

Auf welche Stimmen soll man heute noch hören? Wie kann man unterscheiden, was gut und was falsch ist? Jesus hat leidenschaftlich um diese Frage gestritten. Warum ihm das so wichtig war, welches Kriterium entscheidend für gute geistliche Leiter ist und wie du Jesu Stimme immer besser wahrnehmen kannst, hörst du in dieser Predigt.

扫码关注我的视频号上午10点直播间学摄影早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第2454天。初学摄影的时候，我们常常会遇到一些比较棘手的专业名词，我也常常见到有同学把它们搞混了，最常见的就是那个“焦”字，比如说焦距啊、焦段啊、焦点啊、对焦啊、定焦啊……我们不太可能在一期早自习里面帮大家梳理所有的词汇，这样的话大家也记不住，我们今天就来梳理一下对焦这件事情。对焦在塔上 © 叶梓什么叫对焦呢？从画面上来看，其实就是某一个物体突然变得清楚起来了，是画面中最清晰的物体，这个就是一个对焦的过程。对焦是一个动词，它指的是我们对着某个物体把焦点汇聚到它上面，让它最清楚。Photo by ABEL MARQUEZ on Unsplash对焦的这个位置是由你自己控制的，就比如说是手机的话，你就点屏幕中的某个位置，你的手机就会把焦点放在那个地方，让它变清楚。这是比较直观的操作方法，微单相机可能也能用这个方法，但是更常见的相机的操作方法是通过摇杆或者是按钮在整个画面中去选择你要对焦在哪个位置。它有个小框框，把那个框框放在你想要的那个东西上，再半按快门，那个东西能清楚起来。注意啊，前者调整方框只是为了选择，而后者——就是半按快门，才是相机的真正对焦的指令。对焦成功了，那个东西就是清楚的。人暗的时候（上），点在人身上画面会亮起来（下） © 叶梓刚才我们提到了用手指头点手机屏幕就能对焦，对吧？但是你有没有想到在网上你可能还见过另一种说法，说哪里黑点哪里。比如说这个人物站在一个明亮的背景前，它颜色更深，然后就会有一些摄影博主教你说：哎呀，点他的衣服，点那个黑色的地方，点那个远山黑色的地方，点那个深色的树，只要点深色的地方画面就亮起来了。这个操作显然是有问题的，因为它最后导致的结果是会对焦在树上、山上、衣服上，最后人脸反而是模糊的。那为什么会有这样一种常见的误区呢？其实是因为在手机里边，对焦和测光是联动的，就是说当你对焦在一个地方的时候，手机也主要以那个地方为基准来测量光线，来决定它的曝光，所以确实会有一种感觉，就是你点深色地方的时候画面会突然亮起来。但是你不能光顾着曝光正确啊，你得考虑一下对焦得对在最重要的事物上，这个前提是肯定少不了的。所以再次强调，你不能跟着画面的亮度去决定你要点哪里，你要根据你要对焦在谁身上，你希望哪里比较清楚来点哪里。如果是拍人，那肯定是点脸。用手机对焦的时候，你其实还可以按住屏幕不撒手，那么这个小黄框（对焦框）就会闪烁两次，然后这个对焦就锁定在这个地方了。也就是说在你正式拍完照片之前，对焦的位置就不会再跑了，对焦的距离就已经被确定了。尼康相机上的AFL键 图片来源：尼康官网这个功能在相机上也有，叫做 AFL就是Auto Focus Lock，就是自动对焦锁定功能。按一下这个按钮，就能锁定这个相机的对焦。Photo by YH Zhou on Unsplash锁定对焦有什么好处呢？我举个简单的例子。如果你要拍城市的灯火，但是你不想把它们拍清楚，你想把它们拍成一个一个模糊的光斑，有那种浪漫的感觉，抽象摄影的效果。那么你就可以先对着一个十几二十厘米的位置先对焦并对焦锁定，锁定成功以后，你再抬起手机或相机对着远处拍照。你看，这个时候手机相机不会重新对焦了，远处的东西一团模糊，而那些灯火就变成了大光斑，就会非常的浪漫和好看。尼康的对焦模式菜单 图片来源网络当然了，相机里面关于对焦还有更多的选项，比如说连续对焦、单次对焦、跟踪对焦等等。简单讲就是单次对焦是指只对一次焦；连续对焦是对着一个范围内的物体进行连续对焦，就是它走近了或离远了，这个相机都会重新对焦；而跟踪对焦呢，就是哪怕这一个事物不是在同一个位置上运动，而是前后左右上下左右到处跑，那相机也会自动的去尽量跟着它来对焦，走到哪里就对在哪里。这时候对照目标不由位置来决定，而是由这个物体是什么来决定。关于相机对焦的问题还是稍微复杂一点，我们一句两句话不能完全讲清楚，但今天至少我们完全搞明白了一件事，就是到底什么叫对焦？那么下一节的早自习里面，我再陪大家一起来梳理什么叫焦距以及焦距这个词所衍生出来的其他词汇，这样我们就不太容易会搞混了。好，那么有更多摄影问题欢迎大家在底部留言，我会尽力为你解答，也欢迎你关注我的微信视频号，叫做“叶梓玩摄影”，二维码我放到底下了，可以关注我。每天早上10:30左右，我会有一场手机摄影的直播课程，欢迎你，也欢迎你的亲朋好友一起来听课。今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第2454天，我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号以及喜马拉雅的“摄影早自习”栏目，不见不散。

If 'power' is the extent to which we each are able to bring about our intentions in the world, then our power matters. But there are many different ways to exercise power - as a parent, colleague, friend - in any role where our actions influence others. What does it take to recognise how we're exercising the power we have? Are we acting from our fearful parts or from that which is solid, genuine and faithful to life? Perhaps the deeper invitation is to centre our power around love itself - whether fierce or gentle - rather than around our attempts to dominate and control. This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. Join Us Live in 2025 On Sunday 8th June 2025 it will be our 400th episode and we are planning a Turning Towards Life live gathering on Zoom. You're all very welcome to join.

It's the energy of knowing that you are who you are, and therefore speaking and acting from your authentic self. It doesn't matter what your work is—if you're a teacher or a nurse or whatever; it is your presence that's the power. It's not power over anybody else. It's just the expression of who you are. Power in the sense of controlling somebody else is different from personal presence. Love is the real power. It's the energy that cherishes. The more you work with that energy, the more you will see how people respond naturally to it, and the more you'll want to use it. It brings out your creativity, and helps everyone around you flower. Your children, the people you work with - everyone blooms. Marion Woodman  Photo by Jessica Alves on Unsplash

扫码关注我的视频号上午10点直播间学摄影早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的2452天。Photo by Alexander Andrews on Unsplash有位同学私信我问我：叶老师，我想买一些国外的大师的摄影作品集，请问有没有推荐的购买渠道？买书其实相对比较简单，京东、淘宝搜一搜就可以了，淘宝的话注意别是一些小卖家，别买到盗版的就行。但其实最关键的问题是你要买谁的书呢？让老师来推荐吗？未必适合你，或者是朋友推荐的就更不好说了。我们也不可能说把大师们的作品都买回来来囤着，其实是有这种情况的，很多人有那种囤货习惯，就是囤相机、囤镜头，囤摄影的附件，比如说滤镜啊什么的，是吧？然后也囤了一大堆的摄影书，总觉得书买到手了，就觉得自己学到手了，其实这是非常低效的一种方法。不要盲目的去买这种摄影的作品集，因为作品集是以图片为主，文字是比较少的，简单的去阅读作品集，你很难说你会从中吸收到什么有价值的东西。那我们应该怎么去选购作品集和画册呢？我给你三个切实可行的建议：薇薇安·迈尔的纪录片《薇薇安·迈尔：谁动了保姆的照片》海报首先是最容易实现的，其实有很多摄影大师或是艺术大家们都有电影、有纪录片。你可以先到网上去看一看，多去了解一下这些艺术大师们他们都在干些什么，他们的理念是什么，他们作品什么样的，如果实在是喜欢你再把它买回家。由于有了对整个人的背景资料的了解，对他所处的时代，当时的一些这种艺术的观点都有一点浅浅的接触了，你再来看他的作品集才能够真的从中受益。《希利尔讲艺术史》 文化发展出版社 图片来源：京东第二种方法更严谨一些，你可以先去读一下艺术史，然后再读一下艺术史下的摄影史。先去了解一下看看历史的脉络，这个摄影是如何发展的，其中有哪些流派，哪一些的风格，代表人物是谁。读完了以后你总会有自己喜欢的人嘛，对吧？就像你看个电视剧，你看完了总是有自己喜欢的主角或配角嘛。然后你再去买他的作品集或者画册。由于有了对整个艺术史的了解，那你对这个人的理解，对他作品的理解就不再是片面性的了，你可以更全盘的去看待他。他推翻了什么，他继承了什么，谁又是继承于他的受他启发的，或者是想要推翻他的。艺术史就是在这样的继承和推翻的过程中不断前进。秋山亮二《你好，小朋友》摄影展 © 叶梓第三种去选购作品集的方法就是要要靠缘分的了。你所在的城市或者是周边的城市有没有一些比较好的展览呢？比如说前段时间我刚在香港看了巴塞尔艺术展，在北京、上海、深圳、广州啊，很多城市都会时不时的有一些非常优秀的展览，不管展览规模的大与小，只要是你感兴趣的，我特别推荐大家多去看看展览。试着去感受一下这些艺术家们给了你什么样的启发，或许看完你会喜欢它，或许看完了你很讨厌它，即便你不喜欢他的作品，其实你也会有所收获的，因为你可以借此来反思：唉，我为什么这么不喜欢他这个作品呢？他到底是触动了我内心深处的哪一个雷点呢？这样你不仅是对摄影、对艺术更了解了，对自己也会更加了解了。在广泛看展的过程中，你或许也会发现你喜欢的艺术家，这个时候你会发现展厅里边其实是有卖他的画册的，你可以把它买回家。这个时候它不仅是一个很好的纪念品，而且是你跟这个作者他有了一定的时空上的交错，对他的作品有了一些这种真实的感受以后再去购买的，这显然会更贴近于你的需要，能给你带来更多的收获。《戴安.阿勃丝传》 广西师范大学出版社 图片来源：京东好，今天我们就简单给大家三种去选购作品集或者是画册的方法，希望对你有所启发。我也再次强调我的观点，单独阅读作品集是没什么用的，我们可以通过纪录片、通过艺术史、通过这些艺术家的人物传记或者是他们的展览先了解他们，再来决定自己应该买哪一本画册。你身边有没有朋友是喜欢囤书的呢？你可以把今天的早自习里的观点讲给他听，也可以和他去讨论一下，看看他买的这些书给了他什么样的收获。今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第2452天，我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”以及喜马拉雅的“摄影早自习”栏目，不见不散。

Taxes and wars go hand in hand. And as much as our current partisan politics suggest otherwise, it wasn't a Democratic U.S. president that ushered in the income tax. It was a Republican president - Honest Abe! And later, it was during another Republican president's term that the income tax became permanent - William Taft. The irony of it is that the poor masses and the progressive middle class pushed for the income tax to get the rich to pay their fair share. Now, the poor and the middle American families seem to shoulder most of the income tax burden. In this interview, I discuss the following with my guest scholar: ►British taxes on American colonies - justified or not?►"No Taxation Without Representation"►Shays' Rebellion - America's first uprising against taxes►Hamilton's controversial plan for America's debt ►How the federal government paid for itself all those years before the income tax ►How the Civil War changed tariffs and taxes►Why the U.S. Supreme Court struck down income taxes►Why the masses pushed for an income tax amendment - did we do this to ourselves! ►How WWI and WWII affected tariffs and income taxes ►Capitalism and Correlation between lower taxes and higher economic activity and investment

What if the key to unlocking your best work isn't doing more—but doing less? In this episode, we dive deep into the power of simplicity in the creative process. We explore how overthinking, over-planning, and overcomplicating your work can actually rob it of authenticity, spontaneity, and truth. When complexity leads the way, ego often follows close behind—and that's when we lose the raw, honest impulse that makes art powerful in the first place. As artists, it's easy to get caught up in trying to make things impressive. But often, the most moving and memorable work comes from a place of emotional truth, not intellectual control. We talk about the importance of letting go, honoring the process, and learning to feel our way through rather than think our way through. Whether you're an actor, writer, filmmaker, or any type of creative, this episode is a call to return to your instincts—to simplify, to trust, and to reconnect with the deeper voice that wants to come through you.     Key Takeaways:   Simplicity vs. Complexity How unnecessary complexity can block creativity and authenticity Why simplicity is often the most powerful artistic choice   The Trap of Overthinking How ego and intellect can misguide the creative process Why feeling is often more effective than thinking in artistic work   Trusting the Process Letting go of control and surrendering to the unknown Understanding that art often works through you—not the other way around   The Role of Skill and Training Why developing your craft matters—but shouldn't limit your exploration How preparation allows you to navigate the unexpected when it arrives   Returning to Your Creative Impulse Reconnecting with the core of what moved you to create in the first place Learning to release outcomes and embrace presence     Why Listen? If you're feeling stuck, disconnected from your work, or caught in a cycle of overthinking and perfectionism, this episode offers a refreshing reset. It's a conversation about getting back to what really matters: truth, presence, and the simple spark that started it all. Join us as we peel back the layers and return to the essence of creativity—where simplicity leads, and the art becomes something truly alive.     -- (Photo by Christophe Meyer on Unsplash)   ...And if you're loving the show, don't forget to hit that SUBSCRIBE button, SHARE IT with your friends, and VISIT OUR WEBSITE for even more content!  www.WayoftheArtist.com 

In the latest episode of the award-winning Rising Tide: the Ocean Podcast David and Vicki talk with retired NOAA Captain Craig McLean about the Trump administration's attacks on the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. 20 percent of its workforce including weather forecasters and ocean and climate scientists have already been laid off and more than 10 percent of the budget cut and things could get worse. Having spent his career as a ship's master in the uniformed NOAA Corps and as a lawyer and administrator including Acting Chief Scientist during the first Trump administration when he stood up for scientific integrity during the Sharpie-gate scandal, Craig will give us his unique perspective on what's going on, and the importance of what NOAA does day to day to help our economy, security and environment and what we can all do to protect its work.

The narratives about time and growing older that our culture hands us often fail to name and invite the kind of luminous gathering of life that we can become with age. What if we found a way to fully grieve the losses of aging, rather than fight against them, and in doing so we deepen into a kind of translucent generosity of heart and spirit in which we allow ourselves to give ourselves away to those around us and to life itself? And what if we could do that together, rather than alone? This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

Less and less you are that possibility you were. More and more you have become those lives and deaths that have belonged to you. You have become a sort of grave containing much that was and is no more in time, beloved then, now, and always. And so you have become a sort of tree standing over a grave. Now more than ever you can be generous toward each day that comes, young, to disappear forever, and yet remain unaging in the mind. Every day you have less reason not to give yourself away. by Wendell Berry Photo by Maria Krasnova on Unsplash

Chasing after what we want so badly - from our friends and other relationships - can make it infuriatingly difficult to have and be what we most need. Can we find a way to move towards our longings also find out that although there is much that we might legimately want and long for, the act of receiving and giving right here, in the midst of where we already are, can so often bring us much that we really need. In the process of cultivating a steady reciprocity of receiving and giving we can become a person who meets the truer needs of those around us. The metaphor of the water wheel, in its steady turn of giving and receiving, has much to stir our imagination in this regard, as Rumi teaches us in this week's luminous source.

Don't scatter and sleep. Our friendship is made of being awake. The waterwheel accepts water and turns and gives it away, weeping. That way it stays in the garden, whereas another roundness rolls through a dry riverbed looking for what it thinks it wants. Stay here, quivering with each moment like a drop of mercury.

What makes a movie truly unforgettable? Is it the story, the performances, the cinematography—or something deeper? In this episode, we explore the essence of the cinematic experience, diving into how film has evolved over the years and where it might be headed next. We take a critical look at the impact of CGI—where it has elevated storytelling and where it has fallen short. We reflect on the artistry of classic filmmaking, where narrative, acting, lighting, and cinematography took center stage, and discuss what has been lost (and gained) in today's digital era. As industry professionals with over 20 years of experience in acting, filmmaking, screenwriting, and producing, we bring an insider's perspective on the changing landscape of film and television. We discuss what it takes to make a mark in today's industry, where aspiring filmmakers, actors, and writers often get stuck, and how true creativity comes from breaking away from the norm—not just doing things “right,” but doing them true. If you're a film lover, a creative, or someone passionate about storytelling, this conversation is for you.     Key Themes & Takeaways:   The Evolution of the Cinematic Experience What makes a movie feel truly cinematic? How has CGI changed the way we experience films—for better and for worse?   The Lost Art of Classic Filmmaking How older films relied on strong narratives, acting, cinematography, and lighting. What has been lost in the digital age, and what we can learn from the past.   The Rise of TV and Streaming How television has reshaped the way we consume storytelling. The blurred lines between film and TV in today's media landscape.   The Business of Filmmaking Today The financial realities of making movies in the modern industry. Why some creative approaches thrive while others fall flat.   Standing Out in the Film Industry The importance of authenticity over conformity in storytelling. How to carve your own path as a filmmaker, actor, or screenwriter.     Why Listen? If you're a filmmaker, actor, writer, or just someone who loves the magic of movies, this episode will challenge you to think differently about the art and business of film. Whether you're looking to find your voice as a creator or simply want to understand why certain movies resonate more deeply than others, this conversation is packed with insights that might just change the way you see cinema. Join us as we explore what makes a movie truly great—and where storytelling is headed next.     -- (Photo by Jakob Owens on Unsplash)   ...And if you're loving the show, don't forget to hit that SUBSCRIBE button, SHARE IT with your friends, and VISIT OUR WEBSITE for even more content!  www.WayoftheArtist.com 

We talk about pushing ourselves and stepping out of comfort zones, but how does that look, in reality? How do we know it's a success and use what we learn from each new experience? No matter what we try, it's a win. We get to learn or we get to grow, right? Episode 98 brings the joy of exhibiting somewhere new, and the win of realising it's all a bit much! Sign up to receive Karen's Studio News  https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/ and Gaynor's emails https://gaynorljart.com/pages/contactLinks and mentions:Photo by Victor on Unsplash@theotherartfair@raemelodyart@aawatson_art@sophiedunster_artist@fionac.nyc@karen_turner_artist @veredbrett@rebeccatuckerpaintings@nicolerose_design_and_art@keiko.yanagi@_naokikawano_@feedicksonreidartist@mike_thebridge_art@billbaileyofficial extraordinary portraits @chatterbox_mediahttps://what3words.com @karengeorgeart @gaynorljart@artchatterpodcastAbout the podcast⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ and ⁠Karen George⁠ are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing experiences and the ups and downs of living the painting life.You can find more about them and their work on their websites or by following them on instagram where they share their work and practice on a regular basis. ⁠Karen George Art⁠ ⁠https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/⁠@karengeorgeart on instagram⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ ⁠https://www.gaynorljart.com/⁠@gaynorljart on instagramThanks always to our wonderful sound editor, Ben Leverett-Jaques, who also wrote and performs the opening song 'Strangler Fig'Ben's IMBD page: ⁠https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7425880/⁠ Ben's Music - Low Cinnabar: https://low-cinnabar.bandcamp.com/album/four-songs-from-the-tree

We long to be present in our lives, and we run from it too. In a culture which emphasises the running - into distraction and avoidance - how might we turn towards the intimacy of presence with our own lives and what we care about the most? Why does this even matter (and it does!)? And how do we do that without dishonouring those parts of us that want to protect us from the inevitable tragedies and losses that come along with beauty and sacredness?

And every day something more important calls for my attention – the drugstore, the beauty products, the luggage I need to buy for the trip. Even now I can hardly sit here among the falling piles of paper and clothing, the garbage trucks outside already screeching and banging. The mystics say you are as close as my own breath. Why do I flee from you? My days and nights pour through me like complaints and become a story I forgot to tell. Help me. Even as I write these words I am planning to rise from the chair as soon as I finish this sentence. Marie Howe from The Kingdom of Ordinary Time (Norton, 2008) Photo by Brett Jordan on Unsplash

Deleting data and research is book burning. No need to read 1984, we're living through it. Data is a representation of reality. By controlling data, one can control our understanding of reality, and in the hands of an autocratic regime erasing data is a highly effective tool for erasing dissent. After all, no one can claim the regime is causing problems if no evidence of said problems exists.  We are witnessing the full scale dismantling of our science and institutions. -o-Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealth  Bluesky Social: @everythingisPHMastodon: @everythingispublichealth Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com     Photo Credit: Photo by Enayet Raheem on Unsplash https://unsplash.com/photos/white-printer-paper-with-black-text-0UxQZNoLnlk?utm_content=creditShareLink&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplashSupport the show

Have you ever dreamt about something that happened during your day and written it off as nothing? Have you been told that this happens solely because your mind is processing the day? This is one of the most common questions about dreams! While we do process our day while asleep at times, we have found that OFTEN, God is in the midst of those dreams, using the natural occurrences from your day and the people you interacted with to communicate something to you in language you can understand. Becoming underwater breathers requires us to let go of fleshly wisdom or advice and delve into the mysterious language of God and the ways of His Kingdom! We have to become like little children, humble and curious, to enter the Kingdom of God. - Matthew 18:3In this episode, Margaux shares an example of this playing out, in a dream from one of the membership dreamers.

We look out at the world and see horizons everywhere, lines on the ‘edge of the world' that we know are markers of the beyond. When we move and shift our position, what is beyond the horizon reveals itself in new ways.  And we are like this too - what is within us and what is between us is marked by horizons that are not fixed lines but invitations for movement and discovery. What would become possible if we committed ourselves to standing in new places inside ourselves, and taking one another by the hand to meet on new horizons between us than the habitual, familiar ones we have grown used to?

The edge between what I think is me and what I think is you is as much a horizon as any line of mountains or that far dark line on the distant ocean. Horizon is the line between what we think we know and what we do not know, between what we think we see and do not see: horizons mark the threshold between the world that I inhabit and the one that seems to wait for me, between a world I can almost understand and what lies beyond the imagination of my present life. Horizons are creative, disturbing, invitational edges just by the fact that they exist.

There is action to be taken in the world, for sure. Urgent action to take care of our lives, our communities, and the wider world in which we all live. But there is a also a deep well of presence, patience, intimacy, and connection right in the centre of each of us. When our action is fearful, rushed and out of touch with this still centre, it easily spills over into polarisation, panic and disconnection. And when the source of our action is this centre, the essential aliveness and goodness that we all are at the heart of things, much more that is sustaining and care-filled becomes possible. What is it to find our way back to the vastness that is our origins, and to let our lives and relationships be infused by that at each moment, especially now?

Episode Overview 00:00 Welcome and Introduction to Silence 04:03 The Importance of Silence in Our Lives 08:00 Silence as a Political Act 12:04 Finding Our Center in Silence 15:58 The Role of Silence in Action 20:08 Cultivating Silence for Deeper Connection 23:46 Reflection and Observation in Leadership 28:10 Gratitude for Silence and Connection 31:51 Conclusion and Invitation to Return Here's our source for this week: Within Each of Us There is a Silence  Within each of us there is a silence —a silence as vast as a universe. We are afraid of it…and we long for it. When we experience that silence, we remember who we are: creatures of the stars, created from the cooling of this planet, created from dust and gas, created from the elements, created from time and space…created from silence. In our present culture, silence is something like an endangered species… an endangered fundamental. The experience of silence is now so rare that we must cultivate it and treasure it. This is especially true for shared silence. Sharing silence is, in fact, a political act. When we can stand aside from the usual and perceive the fundamental, change begins to happen. Our lives align with deeper values and the lives of others are touched and influenced. Silence brings us back to basics, to our senses, to our selves. It locates us. Without that return we can go so far away from our true natures that we end up, quite literally, beside ourselves. We live blindly and act thoughtlessly. We endanger the delicate balance which sustains our lives, our communities, and our planet. Each of us can make a difference. Politicians and visionaries will not return us to the sacredness of life. That will be done by ordinary men and women who together or alone can say, "Remember to breathe, remember to feel, remember to care, let us do this for our children and ourselves and our children's children. Let us practice for life's sake." by Gunilla Norris Photo by Janke Laskowski on Unsplash

Its All a DistractionS3E17In this episode we enter into another clip from last month's Membership call which includes candid conversation about navigating years of feeling far from God, how to hold on to the truth when circumstances are confusing and backwards, renewing our minds in the face of challenging experiences. We will also learn about what Mall's mean in dreams and the importance of writing down even one symbol that you remember from a dream when you've lost the rest.
