The main feed of this site now automatically includes posts from my Photo Journal and Dan’s Polaroids.

This way, I do not have to manually link those here, and one can follow all my posts with a single feed. If you see a bunch of new entries, you now know it’s because I messed with my feed.

🎬 Arctic

Movie poster for “Arctic”.

Like Cast Away in the snow. I would have like a little more reasoning regarding why he was in the situation in the first place. But I enjoyed Mads Mikkelsen and some great winter landscapes.
