thank you! i'm working on building up my site & finding cool art to follow :) i looked through your pics and i love your photography instincts!
Just stop and take the pic, even if it's inconvenient or you don't feel up to it. Discomfort is better than regret.
places change and honestly sometimes it sucks. there is an area 10 minutes walk away from my home (near the center of a 500k city)which is kind of my spiritual place; four small lakes next to each other, tiny dacha's around them, all next to a seaport and railroad tracks. a very serene place for a multitude of reasons. there are a lot of photos from there on my site.
this winter they installed some useless fence around the tracks. it does not restrict too much access, it is only visible if you look in the direction of the tracks, but i was really down when I saw it. I was hoping this place was a time capsule, conveniently forgotten by any government officials or whatever. the place remained itself, but I wonder for how much long.
And of course, I am familiar with what you're saying. I have lots of photos of place that are not there anymore, sometimes I unknowingly took photos mere days before the place got destroyed
Thanks! I really like your photos, would be interested to know more about what cameras and film you are using. Also curious about how you did the color gbc photo, rgb color filters?
Hmm... I intentionally don't talk about gear on my site because I want the photos to stand alone and not get wrapped in gear talk, but I do also like talking about cameras and technique. I need a compromise... And yes, I used RGB color filters for the color game boy photo.
also I really like your photos too. I stared at the butterfly wings and the one with boards sticking out of the windows for a long time.
Very cool, makes me want to see if i can dig up my old gb camera and experiment with it. And i totally get your stance on gear talk, no worries
Thank you so much! I am hoping there's another airshow this year, but I haven't seen any news about one. Definitely some of the most fun days with a camera.
okay fellas I rewrote the entire site with Hugo to make things a little easier long term. photos now have titles on mouse hover too! let me know if anything is borked.
also fun fact: apparently the method I was using to downsize the images for neocities was adding a slight haze to everything. my new process is true to the original tones. you probably won't notice (I didn't until I compared) but that's a happy side effect of the rewrite.
