what do you see like: 2012

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

that is awesome.

And leave the negs on the bus.

good thing you didn't have to have your photos posted on the bbc:

Wow, nice bit of news.

Great news! Now let's see some of the pictures :)

Still gotta scan them!

Yeah, no pressure now chinavision :)

Finishing off a roll today. My favourite was ruined by a chunk of my glove appearing in the bottom right corner. The joy of a non-TTL viewfinders!

oh they're nice. they make me think about that thing, about how the height of the horizon in photographs changed with the advent of better film on which to render detail, clouds, skies. the sky at this time of year almost makes me cry.

Definitely think film captures these type of skies more sympathetically than digital, or in my experience anyway.

for sure, highlights don't blow as easily

this is a few years old but i just found it and thought of this thread :)

There's a lot to like there gr8080.

yeah that's rad.
ilp is totally i love planes.

reminds me of one of those rad pics where the entire room is dark except for the TV

Took this a few months ago and couldn't decide what to do with the colour version, so i desaturated it and messed with contrast.

Wow, that's fantastic.

took advantage of my doctor-ordered bed rest today and caught up on ~3 years of flickr uploads, totaling 777 photos exactly

flickr
i hardly know her

(first few dozen are mostly on this thread)

that's the way to do it right there.
so much good stuff, working my way through now

yeah same; so much stuff i love as much as anything you've posted. your black & white is crazy. also the social and geographic escapism of cruising around your life is a treat.

ps suffix yr ihardlyknowher url with /big, it's better that way, x

thanks guys!

i made one of those dpoiaza-generated sets that throws 500 of my photos in random order, changing daily. i like to look at my stuff best in random order:

think that tab will be permanently open in my chr0me

so, uh, I finally finished going through my pix from HK? I put up a rough edit, final picture count is 77 (lol) and it might change in the future but I feel pretty happy w/ it atm

77 is a good number - I applaud your discipline!

and your photography - there's some great stuff in here.

this is just gorgeous, and begging to be recropped at 16x9, possibly with text overlaid on it proclaiming it to be #38 in an ILE movies poll...

ty!

still left on the plate: all that kodachrome I shot, and a secret project that also involves '77'

DAYO YOU SHOT THAT KODACHROME

; )

Doctor Casino otm on the motorbike shot above - beautifully composed and it does look like a still from a movie I would watch the shit out of. Really like the HSBC Insurance shot too.

does anyone else use dopiaza to generate Flickr sets?

for some reason when I make a set of 500, only 390~410 are publicly viewable, despite all my photos being set to public.

I've tried everything and it's driving me crazy.

I should probably worry about more important things.

Here's a couple from the summer:

yes, more complete project-oriented uploads please! I like this flood.

man I need to re-edit my stuff. not feeling my edits on my website anymore.

yeah:

just curious: how many rolls was that set edited from?

all 77? ~450

450 rolls!?
