Film still teaches me to slow down🎞️
I love this part, holding it up to the light before it comes what it's meant to be.

Jane Goodall Rest in the wild you cherished. May your spirit live on in every forest 💔😔

Happy Heavenly B-Day, Nick.
I miss your physical presence,
I am so glad I have these 8-mm video clips to watch occasionally. I fondly remember hanging out in the projection booth at the Laemmle Sunset 5 Theater, the Aero Theater, and the Egyptian. It felt so special to watch the unique process of a maestro projectionist at work. You were considered one of the best. I remember you telling me that you were requested by great film directors, like William Friedkin, and others asked that you only project their movies. It was neat to see and nerd out on the original 35mm film canisters on Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 Space Odyssey, Friedkin’s “The French Connection, “ Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver,” and many more.Lots have changed; we're in a hybrid world now, a shift from film to digital; some directors, like Tarantino, Nolan, PTA, and others, are film purists.
Myself and other dear friends miss your brilliant mind, exceptional wisdom and knowledge on any subject, and unique sense of humor.
Perhaps you're hosting a celestial bash, drinking your favorite whiskey, swapping stories, playing chess and poker games until the wee hours, or just reading some epic fiction or something off the beaten path… miss you, my friend, ❤️

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.
