indication of depression... or genius variations on a theme???
you know the drill
portrait -> scale pixels -> landscape
something compels me to point the camera at the sky even without color, and every time i actually get to editing them i go "ehh whyyy". we know why, the sky is beautiful. but its hard to capture.
todays theme i guess, not all bangers but heyyy it's Cars.
uneasy framing
day and day
i think i still prefer doing tonecurves in rawtherapee then local contrast in darktable over agx :p #mymethod (theyre pretty similar in end result but my way just feels more predictable and consistent. using rawtherapee to create the shape of the curve then exposure tool works like the pivot and the local contrast stretching finetunes the curve and lets me choose whether i want a grayer more detailed image or a more smooth and high contrasty image which is like the black point white point settings i think but just. wayy more intuitive imo)

@999999999 hi, sorry for the long delay, i'm in a strange place with photography currently but it'll come back (as always, its fatal)
please write in ways that make you comfortable. no need to lock yourself
i don't have words to react to what you wrote, without repeating myself at least. so, i'll recommend you a book i thought you might like
the first Surrealist Manifesto
(André Breton, 1924)
you might have already read it, but if not, i feel like it would be a read you'd echo with. i'd be curious to know how you feel about it too
@(: ❤️ thanks. hope you've been doing alright too.
more and more shit keeps going strange and wrong and it's starting to feel like rather than bouncing back, maybe i'll be pounded into the other side of it all. we're barely into this year and it's been so weird already.
bad things happening to me/those around me is more exciting than the rot i think.
a sine wave between nervous energy and body-melting lethargy.
i'm simultaneously more inspired and more paralyzed than ever.
i'm going through it while asking "what's coming up next?".
i want to erode the barrier between thought and action.
i'm typing this unhinged message to you sleep deprived and coming down from disaster energy instead of: reading your messages, then closing the webpage and telling myself i'll respond when i wake back up, waking back up, forgetting to respond all day, opening this page, then spending a few minutes typing out a very carefully crafted 2 or 3 sentence reply.
fuck it. now is the time to be stranger than the world is to me.
i photograph the street view a lot too, let's pretend its genius for our own sake eh? i hope you'll be fine. if this means anything to you, i think you're doing very interesting things with your photography lately, however i hope its not eating you
