I discovered Luminism in photography and painting today and realised that it is what I have been looking for for a while. It's airy but sharp, and light-filled in a way that adds so much... atmosphere.

I dunno if anyone can tell, but I'm in a stained glass mood today lol. So I thought I'd talk about presence AND show you my fave stained glass works. First... I think being present is a thing that is incredibly difficult to do for anybody, regardless of who there are. I'm AuDHD, so I'm constantly in a pendulum, swinging from overstimulation to near-total emotional blankness almost all the time. At least, that's my personal experience. This means that a lot of the time I have, I spend in my head. Like... not fully awake and alive and here, because it's easier. Buuuut... I think that the only way you could possibly find joy is with presence. Noticing the little funny things. Seeing something you like. Seeing a tiny, fluffy little bird. Eating your favourite candy. Finding a new song. You can't do that, and more importantly, ENJOY that, if you aren't fully here, can you? I don't think so. Anyway, on to the stained glass. Here are the breathtaking stained windows of Sainte Chapelle in Paris, the gorgeous art of Nasir al-Mulk mosque in Iran, and Marc Chagall's America Windows. Au Revoir.✨️
