iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

My immensely talented friend Kim Boyko recently entrusted me to produce key art for her forthcoming EP, Accidental Magic. This is one of my favorite outtakes, shot on Kodak Portra 160 using my Toyo 45CF and developed by Gelatin Labs.

I should, by now, know myself well enough to know that I will needlessly complicate any task I assign myself.

In lieu of resolutions, I am instead making a Substack. It's little more than the weekly photo diary I post on IG (@fadedincandescent) but it affords me room to ruminate and expand beyond the parameters of that platform should I so desire. Perhaps you'll subscribe? open.substack.com/pub/cbruno/p...

New Jeff Tweedy album & new Paul Thomas Anderson film out today. Plus Stardust Memories released on this date in 1980; Abbey Road released & The Brady Bunch premiered in 1969; first US performance by Pink Floyd in 1967; & the birthdays of George Gershwin and Martin Heidegger. Very Bruno-coded day.

School is here, autumn is near. I find myself forever firmly in service and debt to the poetry and magic hiding plainly among the quotidian moments of a given day. Allow yourself the time and permission to discover as much unheralded beauty as you can.

Garbage country, but here are some photographs I've made of fireworks anyway.

Another impeccable @recordcratesunited.bsky.social Garden Party is in the books, this time featuring the lilting folk reveries of Ornamental and the literate jangle boogie of Heat Manager. (I, very lamentably, had to leave before the @seawindofbattery.bsky.social / Royal Arctic Institute crossover.)

Happy Pops' Day to all the fellow dads out there trying to cultivate a few more kind, compassionate souls. Here are a couple good ones, Mike and Jarrod of @seawindofbattery.bsky.social, shot on 4x5 Ektachrome at last year's Deep in the Valley festival with a passel of children (none of them theirs).

Don't know about perfect, but if I'm being honest to my 16yo self (didn't get into Modest Mouse, Apples in Stereo, The White Stripes for another year) these were the contemporaneous releases with the heaviest rotation (although technically Midnite Vultures came out two days before my 16th birthday).

Exposed six sheets of 4x5 on New Year's Day, four @ilfordphoto.com HP5 and two Kodak Ektachrome. In hindsight, probably should have used color for the confetti cannon. Either way, here's to shooting more sheet film in 2025.

Went hard drive spelunking this morning and discovered amidst a very small cache of watercolors I'd painted ten years ago this nearly forgotten masterpiece: "Don't Hassle the Hof(ner)."

This is perhaps the finest and most succinct summation of late period Roy Andersson I've yet heard.

I suppose I should kick off my Bluesky feed with something good, so here are a few images from the Psychedelic Sangha Bardo Bath which took place at Weylin on June 16. A whole bunch more over here: recordcratesunited.com/2023/06/20/o… 📸
