Hey #believeinfilm friends,
Looks like film photography has been recognized as a cultural heritage in Germany and is on a path toward UNESCO recognition:
https://www.analog.cafe/comments/8x49
Do you think it should be listed as such, and what may this do for our craft?
Film photography is now recognized as a cultural heritage in Germany and is on the path to UNESCO listing.

Another portrait. Two Arri tungsten lights, one at 90° with a softbox and one at 45° without, but aiming at the hair. No gels this time. There was also a reflector but I forgot to move it for this pose so it's kind of irrelevant.

"There is no dataset for the future"
Fantastic listen for a Sunday morning with a big mug of chai: Nathalie Nahai and Margaret Hefferman on Creativity, Uncertainty and How to Thrive in Volatile Times.
https://open.spotify.com/episode/1PIwxcNuUFnEuRcNimpQaz?si=01abd6a2309a40e6
"Uncertainty is the only area in which discoveries are made. Uncertainty is the great propulsive power behind science, behind art.... You can't think your way to a painting, and you can't think your way to a scientific discovery, you simply have to go out and explore." - Margaret Hefferman
Great reframe of groundlessness. Uncertainty as the space of creativity Vs illusion of certainty through 'data'.
