A Weekend (Not) In The City and Ghost Whispers: Weekend Emulsions 9/27 / by Mark Fulinara

This weekend, rather than my usual bullshit DTLA urban hikes, I went on an actual hike with family, morning dew, fog, and a super cool dog. I really like the look of fog in the morning on film. I should probably try to wake up early more often. Still not sold on nature, though.

BONUS: A couple of shots on my drive away from the film lab last week.

So, you know how I’m always having a hard time sleeping ? If you didn’t know, just go with this. Last night I tried my best to not be cynical and give ASMR videos on Youtube a shot. For the uninitiated, ASMR videos are basically people speaking in a very low whisper, doing things on mic and camera that are supposed to be soothing and put you in a semi-hypnotic state which helps you sleep. Call me crazy, but I found that each ASMR video gave me two experiences in one: they’re either super provocative when you watch them, OR they’re like a terrifying horror movie if you put your phone down and only listen to the sounds of someone whispering in your ear like a ghost. I’m sure it works for some people, but it just wasn’t for me.
