See your sunlight burning to go down

[sovay]

It is a grey day for a solstice.

Not all of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) works equally well in black and white, but enough of it works that derspatchel and I spent a full hour last night sending each other screencaps and discussing cinematography, shadow-work, matte effects, soundstages, and whether it would really have looked that way if shot by Republic Pictures. Choose your own, discuss. Some of this movie is amazingly beautiful in monochrome.

My story "Moving Nameless," originally published in Not One of Us #27, has been accepted for reprint by King David and the Spiders from Mars, edited by Tim Lieder (Dybbuk Press, July 2013).

The thing about the sun is, it comes back even when you can't see it.

You know... hm. I can see what you are saying about Raiders. Might be worth watching that way. It's about time to rewatch it, anyway.

Congratulations. That is one of the best anthology titles ever.

Please provide a report if you do! We just have that page of stills.

Thank you. I'm very pleased about it. Plus TOC with rinue.

Happy Solstice!

It's grey here as well.

Thanks for sharing the stills of Raiders of the Lost Ark in black and white. Interesting concept, that.

Congratulations on the acceptance!

As long as it is the sun, and not just a flaming ball of gas... *goes back to his Hogswatch preparations*

I think it will be the sun.

Thank you! It was one of my earliest published stories—I wrote it on vacation in South Carolina with my family—and I am still pleased with it. lesser_celery is an amazing editor.

Advance report: yes, it is back, and ridiculously hot.

Congrats on the reprint!

Heh. Here it's still damp and hesitating unseasonably between spring and rainy fall. But we saw sunlight.

Congrats on the reprint!

Thank you!

Yes, and this is a good metaphor for so much. There's a lot of love that isn't visible, much goodness that isn't apparent.

Congrats on the reprint!
