what do you see like: 2012

ty guys - you all are too kind! the rest are on my facebook

kenan that is some v impressively detailed pics - is that just using a single exposure?

Kenan that's the library! Where were YOU?!

I have packed up my scanner and will not use it for at least three months, so I can actually focus on some important things like making music and, uh finally getting a better paying job.
meanwhile I'm making photo dumps directly to facebook: http://www.facebook.com/altairnouveau/photos_stream
hoping that what comes out of this is a better, fresher view of my pictures when I finally get around to looking at them down the road. not gonna slow down taking them by any means.

omg the saturation up to 11 ones hurt my eyes but they're also GREAT and I love them

DAYO ARE THOSE KODACHROME

lol no - kodak slides and negs

I think everybody should just live in really colorful cities why do Americans hate color

awesome. totally not gross.

^^^!

they remind me of i guess MF or fine grain shots, where the colour is super thorough & vibrant. & they're really nicely framed; afaict the only downside is their uncomfortable aesthetic kinship w/the last gaspar noe film

thought that was a crop of Playstation cover art for a second

another from a while ago from crosby beach, it's nice to turn your back on a sunset sometimes.

Trippy. Love the lighting and expressions in both sets.

Here's one from a while back:

that's real?!

dope peacocks in gr80's gifs, peacock from bizarro

Yep, it's real!

That's pretty stunning bizarro, beautifully composed.

You on flickr?

Peacock shot is nuts. Do they really have halos around the "eyes" like that? Gorgeous.

Thanks guys. He was a beautiful bird - wish I could have captured the shimmer of the light on the feathers of his breast but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out anyway.

not_goodwin, I am on Flickr but I've let it pretty much lapse. I haven't updated in over a year. Mainly I've been using Blipfoto, a pretty cool community which encourages you to upload a photo a day. Trying to be disciplined about shooting something every day has really had an impact on the way I look at the world - since I have my X100 with me all the time I'm always looking for a picture. I've shot a lot of stuff I'm proud of which I'm 100% sure I'd have missed out on without the combination of the website and the camera.

I'll have a look at Blipfoto, thanks. I'm getting a little fed up with flickr, I'd say about 70% of my shots are viewed from an "unknown source". I keep finding my shots all over the web and especially on tumbler.
The vast majority of the ones I do find, do link back and about half of that actually put my name under it. It's the ones I can't find that concern me.

A friend said if you don't want your pictures nicked, don't put them on the internet.

Yeah, sound advice unfortunately. Have you used Tineye to track your pictures?

I'm about to, cheers.

gonna agree that the peacock image is super nice

Hooray, left 8 rolls of negatives in the cab last night

fucking shit

did you get a receipt?

that SUCKS, jesus. I swear I've had nightmares like that. Really sorry to hear it.

nope no receipt. guess I'll be asking for one from now on.
nothing to do but move on really. lost all hurricane related stuff though!

aw man

! ! ! gdamn

I left my iphone in a cab over the summer but had the receipt, called 311 and was able to get it back within an hour

you might as well file a report w/ the TLC and just say - if anybody turns in like, negs and stuff, or maybe there's some place you could go check at, idk

for real. either try to get in touch with at least someone, however tenuously, or else know that one day you will be responsible for an unearthed, vivian maier-esque gift to future generations. i lost an ipod in a car service in NY & it was gone forever but negatives are too sad to think about.

Commiserations, man. Hope you get those negative back somehow.

Sorry you lost your stuff Chinavision, hope you get lucky and get them back.

One from earlier this year in Scotland, Loch Etive to be precise.

that is radical. great stuff, great colors, etc.
(not expecting to get anything back, but I will be calling the numbers that I'm supposed to today anyway)

i love how a little bit of red really pops in photographs. it might even be ... the best photographic colour.

Yeah, awesome shot not_goodwin. Love the way you can see rocks on the bottom of the loch through the water. Ashamed to say don't think I've ever been to Loch Etive despite living only a couple of hours' drive away :(

never give up hope folks:

found my folder full of negatives on the doorstep this morning.

smilin'

honestly totally psyched. this rules.

man, I still sort of can't believe these showed up again. outstanding stuff! I had just figured it was just one of those things that sucks and then you have to let go.

omg. you are KIDDING!

seriously that like, makes my night, i can only imagine how you feel!

tell us the whole story!!!!!

Supercongrats 2 u!

I mean how did the driver have your address?

my address was on the drop-off envelope! which I had realized the other day and was clinging to for hope. but still figured the whole lightweight plastic bag would just be tossed as trash.
there was no phone number or even taxi company name, so I have no one to thank. but I owe somebody a big THANK YOU.

it was like this, right?

superpsyched for you anyway, i feel better knowing that the taxi drivers of new york are benevolent guardians of stray negatives

go take a circuitous $90 taxi ride with no destination, just smiling and nodding at the driver in the mirror whenever he prompts you for directions

god not like that story no, thank god

but yes, I should just get a cab in a remote borough and request a trip to times square, then do about 30 loops around some choice blocks.

photograph the city slipping into the suburbs, like robert frank cruising down fifth on a city bus, catch the driver's occasional sunlit mirror glances, bring the whole thing full circle & send it to the photo booth blog
