Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia
Colleagues! Comrades! Friends! This is the director of the Laboratory of Ornithology at the Cardboardia Research Institute. I appeal to all employees of the Laboratory, all its interns and volunteers, as well as to all those who are not indifferent to the scientific progress of the state of Cardboardia.
Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia.
Our field trip to Kirov, the New Year's capital of Russia in 2025, was recently completed. I am ready to state with full responsibility that all the tasks set have been achieved. We continued our long-standing observations of changes in the level of happiness of the population depending on its geographical location and the time of the year. We have successfully and fruitfully conducted training and retraining of local personnel for potential further participation in the programs of our Research Institute (as well as several permanent residence visas in Cardboardia). Our main task has also been completed — the Vyatka-Kirov Bird of Happiness has been discovered, examined and studied. All received materials will be transferred to the main department of the Research Institute for further work.
I can't help but share some more specific research results. It turned out that the following actions and factors significantly increase the level of happiness in human blood:
• A sharp smile from ear to ear. However, if you have weak blood vessels, you should not use it more than 2-3 times a day.;
• the presence of a headdress on the head (regardless of its appearance and the time of day and year outside the window);
• voluntary and compulsory gymnastics;
At the same time, to our surprise, the following factors negatively affect the level of happiness (both in the short and long term):
• Regular queuing;
• moving up the career ladder too fast;
• a person's lack of sense of rhythm;
According to the tradition of our Research Institute, the Laboratory ended with a large-scale urban march. Several hundred citizens and visitors from other cities who came to Kirov temporarily became naturalists (and at the same time naturalists). The prototype of the Bird of Happiness created by us during the Laboratory has become not only the spiritual, but also the material center of the procession. All the participants, armed with all kinds of objects created by them during our Open Workshops, formed the mass, the core of the procession. Its main purpose was to test in practice (it is important — outdoors) the ability of Happiness to concentrate in various manifestations of human culture: in color, sound, matter.
One can already admit that the whole procession was one big scientific experiment. In addition to the above, it confirmed another of our hypotheses — happiness can be transmitted through physical contact. All the participants of the march were in close physical proximity to each other, which does not happen so often in everyday life. Therefore, today's advice from scientists is to stay with your friends and family more often, hug and do not be afraid of live contact with people. Infection with a bad mood through touching has not yet been proven. In the near future, the Publishing House of Cardboardia, I hope, will release a specialized brochure "Happiness at home and in reality" on how to stay happy under any circumstances.
Concluding my report, I would like to thank the Tyran of Cardboardia for such an attentive and reverent attitude towards science, its development and, most importantly, its people. Hooray, friends! Your I. K

We experimented with a new technique for uncapping honey cells using a heat gun.The honey was very clean with very little wax and debris.
I'm probably gonna re-do this...but figured i'd post it anyways, and see if anyone had any advice to improve...

I'm not claiming that this is good, or that the colors are right. There are lots of things wrong with this and it's not finished but it was a fun experiment. Might try more of this in the future.
final settings i used, using strobes bouncing off near & far ceiling, another with a diffusor trying for a soft fill, and another on-camera dialed down 1 stop. from this setup i got minimal shadows and was able to adjust curves to get things looking okay.

By slowly moving the light around the subject; it creates a bright light line around the little boy. Because there is such a high contrast between the subject and the light, several shadows are formed on the wall. There also is a reflection of a house with a streetlight on the wall which is clearly visible. Not only the white line puts emphasis on the subjects, also the other colored light lines help to put emphasis on the boy.

For this experiment I splashed lots of black ink onto an A2 piece of white paper and then shook salt all over it. In the past I have slightly played with the process, however I didn't know the effect it could add to a piece. It's a wonder to just watch. The salt creates a sand like texture which absorbs the ink and spirals out like crystals. As I was about to start this piece I had a brain wave to glue pieces of string to the paper. Due to the poor quality glue stick, this did not happen. But instead when I washed the paper with ink, I saw this amazing texture appear as the glue separated/pushed the ink away. I am truly fascinated by the effect and just want to keep playing with these materials and adding more into it.
