i found a dedicated scanner! controlled via usb! works right out of the box with xsane!

but uhhhh... it sees differently.
in the first image, you can see the wild depth of field that it's capable of
and in the second you can see that it sees through a lens... how my eye would. or how another lens would perceive it.
it's not scanning the projected image from the lens like the epson does. it's... taking a photo much more how a camera with a lens mounted to it already would. and i have NO idea why. i guess it's a different type of scanner? maybe i can mod it to behave the way i want? is this why i see people mention needing a ground glass in the setup? if so then why doesn't the epson need it? sooo many questions.

trying out some blend of local contrast edits and agx anddd its overcooking the images a bit, but i think maybe i can work with it. i think if i can tame it agx could be a quicker way to slap some S curving on my images before doing local contrast detail work instead of using rawtherapee for curving

oh and yeah, there are shooting ranges in malls in america. because apparently everyone here fantasizes about firing off guns in the mall and needs an outlet to do so.. safely. i guess. (first one is a lightgun sorta deal and the second one is an airsoft range so, no gunpowder, but still uh. still a bit weird.)

it hurts

i know how horrible it feels to want to be seen so i carry a camera and shoot this feeling out of others? and masturbate with it too?

also what the fucccck i forgot i had found my favorite hat in march after having lost it for months... then it disappeared shortly after once the housing panic started. god damn........

also also fuck i used to dress a lot more fun. and go out more. ugh. it's too hot and non air conditioned in here for me to think anything like that though. i'm barely more than a corpse right now. it's all so heavy. so so sos os so so os so heavy. there's still so much to do. fuck.

i felt the individual balloon photo was too busy so why not make it worse

playin around with darktables filmic rgb again. its soooo finicky its almost an intuitive way to do S curving but then on some photos its just kinda a nightmare of tweaking numbers hoping for something good.
