what do you see like: 2012

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.

really love those dividing lines, like an artificial [or real!] horizon

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.

really feeling the nighttime shooting atm. which is handy as it's dark all the time.

Is that Blackfriars, Ledge?

Blackfriars via Gilliam's Brazil, yah.

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

i am such a tourist on this thread, i'm sorry. i just like looking at pictures. i'm not so great at producing them.

no need to apologize

btw I updated my website for the first time in about 2.5 years over the weekend, mostly inspired by you/further good use of dr.-ordered bed rest.

tried to make my galleries a little more ~curated~ and ~representative of my work~

bizzaro i love your 1st one w/ the reflection

DO YOU SEE??

lol this is so the problem with taking photos of garbage but yeah that picture is really awesome

haha I didn't even go for that reading I just dug how neon elektrik the flag looked

this could be an album cover

love the tone on those photos schlump, especially the second one - has really good 'weight' if that makes sense

v cool light displays, michael

winter in west texas

both with hueless, A+ b/w iphone app

hah I was gonna say, u been doing some nice work with greys

yr iphone stuff is so good caek

i just read a lil about hueless & it makes me feel so conflicted, sad lol

i like it even though john gruber likes it

thanks guys, but it is basically impossible to take a photo in west texas that is not good imo

important things: SKY, DIRT

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.

These were all taken with VSCOcam.

great framing on the 2nd one down

yes

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.

hey thank you! a flattened geometric picture would actually be okay to me. all of those pictures i posted look really weird & different large (which, to provide an unsolicited directors commentary for them, you can see by changing the /s700/ in the urls to /s0/), which i think is only a thing for me when it's sunny & i'm not shooting wide open. it's interesting.

also i was wondering: i got a new phone a while ago, so have been kinda enjoying outsourcing some of my goofier/more colourful shooting to the camera on it, but i'm so into occasionally recording stuff, too. do any of you use video in a similar way to stills? it's becoming really interesting to me, like this new thing to play with & think about. i'll maybe post a thing itt at some point.

get the KitCam app, it does time-lapse:

oh wow, neat

flattened geometric picture not meant to sound like a negative... just that it was interesting to see that it wasn't what it first appeared to me.
top one is really good for shadow-created depth too.

ha, aw that wasn't me being wounded, i know what you mean. flattened geometrics are neat. i am still trying to diversify away from shooting so much discarded or rusting junk though.

i'm all up on yr IHKH, so these weren't new to me, but they're so nice. i used to see your photos & think i could tell which were point & shoot & which from an slr - maybe because some had the datestamp, i don't know - but it's harder now, there's a kind of looseness to them. i just got some photos back from a couple of months back, with this shot where i'd walked by a car in front of a car park in front of a building, & tried to shoot it, two of the cars different shades of red & the building built of pale red brick. it felt so much subtler than what i usually shoot, just about tone and echoes. it didn't come out particularly well, it isn't striking, but it felt smart, like a move in the right direction. those ^ photos are simpler & bolder than some, i think, like they're very neutral & strong & umm non-partisan, if i can extend the semantics of democratic photography to encompass other political actions.

the shoes remind me of one of my fav stephen shore shots (kinda at the other end of the spectrum, busier, more particular), i can't remember if i posted it here before

yeah that picture is amazing. it's a shame that clothes, furniture, and curtains are rarely so colorfully patterned any more!
I think I've been well-served recently by slowing way down and editing more severely. almost to the point of taking a break on uploading pictures.
it is hard for me to be loose, but I'm trying!
also it's sort of weird that I don't really know if I've been taking good pictures lately or not. and won't know for some time. the scanner is packed away.

kinda a good thing i think? i have overdone praising the ~serendipitous magic of arhythmic film processing~ on here before but it can be good to buffer seeing what you shot; a lot of the time i am seeing stuff i can't really remember shooting, so i'm less tangled up in being bummed out that it didn't pan out, or too tethered to its context. i am always going to have a ton of film sitting waiting for me to get it together.

i'm going to pick up my scanner this afternoon, which means getting into a bunch of (those curled) negatives i got back. so psyched. can we change the ilp slogan to hanging out at the textile warehouse? i feel like this is where we should be shooting our best work

"a lot of the time i am seeing stuff i can't really remember shooting, so i'm less tangled up in being bummed out that it didn't pan out"

^^^ this, totally. The #1 thing I miss about film, even though it's the direct result of what makes me happiest about digital, the increased workflow.

oh I'm thinking it'll be really good for me to slow down my reviewing process, definitely.
a little breathing space and all that.

it's a shame that clothes, furniture, and curtains are rarely so colorfully patterned any more!
so so so so so true
