Nice story! It's groovy when people you admire turn out to be totally down to earth and nice and encouraging.

not gonna let myself post too much photo-wise for the next bit, got papers coming up due soon, but I couldn't resist just putting one up while my tea was sinking in this morning.

Thanks!

Yeah, that's great. I'm a sucker for leading lines and lots of repeating shapes. Great light, too. Where are these taken?

That last one is in New York - 28th street, between 7th & 8th, from the back side of the Fashion Institute of Technology. I just love how the vacant lot turns what was just one of many buildings along the street into some kind of ceremonial palace with the avenue of multi-story car-parking leading processionally up to it.
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 30 November 2012 16:06 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, it's a really striking image. I like the silhouettes of foliage in the top corners of the frame, too.
― bizarro gazzara, Friday, 30 November 2012 16:08 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks again. Yeah, I sometimes waffle on bits of foreground tree like that, there's definitely a lot of times where I realize once I hit Lightroom that I have a version with tree and a version sans tree. I think they help to kind of lock in a foreground/"frame" although on the other hand they do cover up part of the magnificent building, maybe obscuring something interesting (like the interesting ABB of castellation, water tank, water tank)...but ehhh, I like the feel.

Really dig 4th and 5th one, show photos can be so generic but I love these faceless silhouetted drones in the haze.

thanks dude- those are two different shows at the same venue-- just realized both bands have "future" in their names: Odd Future and Future Islands, haw

Really like #4 there. Love the way the stage lights are picking out the outlines of people in the crowd, and the way the focus picks out the outline of the head and ears of the guy in the centre of the frame.

oooh i love the second one -- i expect to see a little troll person in a red hooded cape sneak across the hallway

Yeah, those make a great pair! Top one is great, wonderful tonal range and I love how the reflection transforms this pretty ordinary low-slung building into something momentarily monumental.

Blackfriars via Gilliam's Brazil, yah.

love the colors in the top one! the little burst of yellow especially.

i am thinking about getting a water tower tattoo btw
I struggle a bit with judging how horizontal a horizon is too. Nice work on those, have downloaded that app to try it out. Has anyone else used VSCOcam? I quite like it, "film emulator" type thing from the people who do the VSCO Film plugins for Lightroom, etc.
― michaellambert, Sunday, 9 December 2012 23:36 (eleven years ago) link
These were all taken with VSCOcam.

schlump, photo #2 above really does it for me too. the shadows are really nice, and combined with the sort of wavy sheets, give a real nice sense of *depth* to what at first might seem to be sort of a flattened geometric picture.
