New York City ballet production of Midsummer Nights Dream

[thepeelingrenoir]

The fact this isn't a painting is a testament to one of the greatest feats of set design and production I've ever seen.

[thepeelingrenoir]

My god just look at this! The lighting, set design, photography... I've just never seen anything like it.

[jammerific]

I think this is the first time I've ever been wowed by "this ISN'T a painting"!

[em-orald]

Ok I looked it up because I didn’t believe it was a painting, and it really is a photograph. It looks like that because it’s from 1966. Here it is on The New York Public Library’s digital collection:

New York City Ballet production of the movie version of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" with Suzanne Farrell as Titania and Edward Villella as O

One of hundreds of thousands of free digital items from The New York Public Library.

something about substances so strong they can only be cut by that same substance (like diamond) gets to me. the self-fulfilling prophecy of it. you can armor yourself against any and all outside threats, but you're still beholden to your own nature.

*walks over to my board titled "is the desire to self-destruct innate or a learned behaviour?" and places another tally mark in the 'innate' column*

Thanks for hanging out with me! Was I cool? did you like me? What do you think of me in detail? Do you hate me?
