i guess i feel like my photos are better than every other dumb photographer's photos, but that everyone who is just taking photos's photos are better than my photos

^ have that "just taking photo's photos' vibe to it
i also totally recognize it's because it's presenting an environment that's very familiar and yet strange to me due to my living in china and strikes me in a way idk very good photos of istanbul or the continent don't
it's weird but i could spend hours scrolling through photos like those

wowso much going on in this photo (especially given-- but not only bc of-- who took it)the pitch-black interior, nocturnal, of sumptuous leather, reflecting gleams of daylight; array of cut crystal glasses awaiting liquids; framing (from perspective of dark car's passenger) cloudy blue skies & RAINBOWit's lynchian (mullholland drive comes to mind), egglestonian--but no, forget comparisons, this is its own unique thing <3

woah by311.tumblr.com btw
it's presenting an environment that's very familiar and yet strange to me -- the fact that there are no identifiable landmarks, kind of puzzle, where is it? somewhere in the north obv but its anonymity? is appealing (actually, it's changchun, i think) -- all those textures and angles in heaps -- i love it

as much as i love the pictures, they also unsettle me because i've taken a thousand pictures in third tier chinese cities and these are probably the ones i wouldn't take and not the way i would have taken them but they capture exactly what i would have liked to capture.

hey soi am trying to trace an article i feel like i read here but must be misremembering some element of. it was about a new, ICP-esque photo museum opening in iirc japan. but i can't find it (i thought it was on lens) so maybe at least the japan part is wrong. does this ring any bells

Thought-provoking. I've been working on some family photos, all taken by the no-longer-living. There are certain related, if less super-thorny, questions about privacy and how people choose to define and represent their own lives. Right now I'm dealing with a (woefully incomplete) binder of negatives my mother compiled in the 1970s, before I was born. Did most of these never get printed because they were crummy exposures, because she didn't like them, or because they just didn't have time to futz around with the darkroom stuff after my brother got born?
There's also an amazing letter, in a different box, where she describes to her sister her first, partially botched, experience with loading film onto a reel, with her and my dad seated on the edge of the tub in a blacked-out bathroom, with the closed toilet for a shelf. Just like my first reels thirty years later, she ended up with some frames touching each other, big blobby undeveloped areas. My delight in recognizing this moment as a crummy little stressful incident that my mother and I both experienced in our respective youths is commingled with my wanting the negatives to all be just fine and perfectly preserved. Nothing so heavy as what this article is dealing with, but interesting to think about. Meanwhile I just wish I knew what had become of all my grandmother's slides...

I really love looking at photog's contact sheets. It's like hearing the demos of songs or something; reminds me too that not every shot's a keeper for them either. (Except Capa, the bastard — his sheets are like hit, hit, hit, hit, alternate take, hit)
