image ethics and best practices ＊
image ethics and best practices. every jpeg you come across was created by someone. if you want to share something on an account that is visible to the public, you are faced with a moral dilemma. you can either be a steward of information, or you can be a thief. if you truly respect the work that you are reposting, you will acknowledge where it comes from. as ignorance runs rampant and images are degraded through an endless chain of screenshotting, moodboarding, and reposting, i invite you to care about information. what is it? who made it? who played what role? when did they make it? where did they share it? archives cannot exist without information. do not repost anything that you cannot provide credits to, and stop supporting pages that repost without credit. you are not entitled to the work of others. "credit to the owner" is not real credit. "dm for credit/removal" is not real credit. these are copouts. do not repost anything from a creator who does not want their work reposted. make sure you translate things on their page to see if it's written in another language. if you would still like to share their work, post a link to their page so that people can engage with their work directly. if you are given special permission to repost from someone who ordinarily does not allow reposting, make sure people know what's up so that everyone knows you have asked for and received permission, but reposting and usage is generally not allowed. repost with credits in the caption, not the comments. make the credits the first thing people see before you talk about anything else. tag them if they are on the same platform. do not use peoples work as your profile picture or other representative image without permission. not everyone is okay with their images being used to represent a person they do not know. always add credit in your bio. exceptions may be if the artist is famous and easily recognized, or if the image is from an old advertisement or well-known piece of media. for instance, you wouldn't need to add credit in your bio if using a van gogh painting, official pokemon art, or the blythe walkman ad. it's still good to do so, but most people can recognize what it is and where it came from. but gina garan's non-commercial work, work by an independent active painter, pokemon fanart, and custom doll work should be credited. never use another person's self-portrait or original character without permission. you may feel like you are just one person, and that you alone cannot be hurting anyone by reposting images you like. but if everyone does it, and nobody knows where these photos come from, the impact adds up, and a culture of consumption is allowed to persist.

Honey Skoolmates - Your Aquarium
mini-album, １９９９年

Yuko Takemoto: Vo & Keyboard
Keita Takatori: G & Cho
Atsushi Nakai: Dr & Cho
Shozo Hashimoto: B

Art Direction, Photographer: Kohei Yamashita
The cover of Your Aquarium by Honey Skoolmates, depicting various sea shells and pebbles and decorated with red, orange, and yellow stars. The disc for Your Aquarium by Honey Skoolmates. Breaking away from the classic disc shape, it is red and shaped like a star. 初めてハニスクを聴いたのは「ミニ・スカート」の頃。仕事がら時々デモテープをもらったりするんだけど、そのデモテはとにかく曲が一杯入っているなって印象でした。でも聴いてみてびっくり。どれも良い曲ばかりだったのです。っていうか、若いのに曲作りのツボを良くわかってるなって感じかな。それでボーカルの竹元さんと仲良くなったので、その後も新曲ができるたび、デモを送ってもらっていました。だからハニスクに関してはかなり詳しい（？）ですよ。ライブは1回しか観てないけどね。それにここ2年間の竹元さんの心の紆余曲折も少しは知っている。悩みだったり、野望だったり連れのグラスゴーでライブができたハッピーだったり。故にこのCDはホント感無量です。内容もめちゃくちゃ良いです。ハニスク、よくここまで成長したなぁって感じ。だってデモを沢山聴いたせいか竹元さんのソロ・ブロジェクトってイメージが僕には強くあった。でもこれを聴くとバンドとしてのまとまりもすごくいいし、何より男の子ポーカルとの絡みが最高！！やっぱりヴァセリンズとかプリミティブズとかグルービー・リトル・ナンバーズとか読いてきた僕にとっては男女のツイン・ポーカルはめちゃめちゃシビれてしまうんです。それにしても竹元さん、歌すごく良くなったね。英語でも日本語でもどっちでもイケてるよ。それにハニスクまだまだいけるね。これは通過点だ。でっかくなってね。きっとなれるから。 Semi-charmed Life カシヒデキ HONEY SKOOLMATES Yuko Takemoto (Vo & Keyboard) Keita Takatori (G & Cho) Atsushi Nakai (Dr & Cho) Shozo Hashimoto (B) Support member Brendan Dillon (G & Cho) Engineer Kazuyoshi Nagai at Laugh Studio Atsushi Mori at Laugh Studio Mixing Producer SHOW-TA (for nakayoshi production) Art Direction & Photographer Kohei Yamashita (E.T.Design) Label Producer Tony Otani Co-Produced Shinya Keyamura (SD Music Network) Chiho Nakamura (SD Music Network) Special thanks PLECTRUM Hideki Kaji Taeko Matsuda Leif Ramrow the Erb's Studio F Gen-chan Friends from Glasgow Friends from Michigan Friends and Family Tracklist and back of CD for Your Aquarium by Honey Skoolmates. 01: SUMMER 02: 16 candles 03: ねこのうた 04: GLASGOW 05: Morning Dew

the guitars of shiina ringo... 🍎
via 椎名林檎 無罪モラトリアム photo and score book
shiina ringo's mint-green duesenberg starplayer ii. "before my debut, i took out a loan to buy it, and it's still my favorite of all my guitars. the sound is very nice, and it is sure to be a lifelong friend. i have many sponsors and put their logo stickers on the back of the guitar." shiina ringo's black rickenbacker 620 and blue nagare. "the rickenbacker was mentioned in the lyrics of marunouchi sadistic; i purchased the guitar after writing the song. however, i did not buy it in ochanomizu, but instead made the purchase in ōkubo. the stickers were purchased at a duty-free shop and adhered with stick glue. the nagare was recommended by the staff at shimamura instruments, and was formerly known as the jazz master, but is no longer so, which is inevitable (lol) it comes with a lot of unnecessary bits, which i like. it makes noise when you turn the key and has a strobe light. when the light goes off, it makes a sound like radiohead. they said if i have any ideas, they will try to make them happen. the guitarmaker mr. nishikawa wants to make one that can hold tropical fish (lol) that uses the fish's movements to apply distortion and rewards them with food if the performance is good..."
