Nature Doc about Spirit Sands shot on 16mm film!

Nature Doc about Spirit Sands shot on 16mm film!

Director John Whiteway captured roughly five seconds per shot using only a tiny screen for reference. His tools were an Arriflex 16mm and Angenieux lens - the same camera taken to outer space in the 1980s. John also camped out there to give him the best opportunities to capture the magic of Spirit Sands.

A Westman Discord community

Hello all, I’m wondering if it’s worth it to create a discord server for everyone to socialize, make friends, meet people, and just cut down on the sheer kilometres that keeps us all divided here in the Westman Area. I recently moved to the province and am in the Westman Area and frequent (-ish…) Brandon and I find it difficult to make new friends. Even Facebook’s People of Brandon seems too oriented to simple sharing of business and event stuff than actual socializing or meeting other users. I’m around the “young adult” age and my generation has largely outgrown the uses of Facebook as well. I find Discord could be a happy medium for laid-back yet a focused community for people’s hobbies and serve as a bridge for the spread out rural communities in the region with Brandon being probably the physical hub.

I’m toying with the idea but does anyone think it is worth it to make one? I was about to one day and figured it may be better to gauge Reddit first (I know no one lol).

It’d essentially be for everything from community social events, chatting, meeting up with people, finding people with similar interests, etc. It would eventually require people to share the news of such a server by word of mouth or other platforms.

I’ll probably make one real quick but obviously will eventually need more than just me to manage it to ensure people follow basic respect and rules since everyone will be using pseudonyms and not real names like Facebook - it can easily turn chaotic. There are pros and cons of username vs real name but I feel if we can come together, I’m sure it’ll be doable.

Largely, I fall into the young adult age group like I said, which I generally categorize as 25-35-ish. I personally hope to meet likeminded individuals and if not at least just people to chat with. Of course, people of all ages are welcomed. I’m just going out on a limb here.

What say everyone? :)

Can you water some roses for me?

I live in Edmonton and I left rose plants on my Grandma and Uncle's grave on Thursday in Neepawa at the Riverside Cemetery. I am wondering if someone would be able to water them? I don't know anyone in Neepawa anymore. I would super appreciate it 💕💕💕

Wife and I are thinking of moving to Brandon next year. Give me some pros and cons of the town. How's the job market? Have a background in plumbing but other 9 to 5s would also do.

Help me remember an old restaurant from the early 2000s

So in the early 2000s there was a restaurant on the corner of 10th and Victoria where Popeyes and Marino's sits. I somehow remember them being associated with summer fair style food. They may have even had a presence at travelling fairs in Canada. They had footlong chilli dogs and chilli fries, lots of greasy unhealthy stuff. Nobody I know remembers the place at all. Can anyone help?
