ty i agreei keep going back to this moment in high school where the photographer for the town newspaper came to give a talk to my art class, and he said somethng to the extent of "any editing of a photo beyond basic cropping isn't real photography, and a crime against art"...and like i understand the journalistic "just the facts" mindset he must have been coming from, but even a decade on i totally disagree. for me the raw photo often feels like a big block of concrete with a vaguely evocative shape, and the final (sometimes heavily edited) image is like a finished sculpture. same feeling as how an hour long recording of a noodly jam session can be recontextualized into a three minute cut that more directly conveys the underlying feeling always impressed by your macro work but here i think i'm particularly drawn to the second & last shots (with the mosquitos on glass). hard to describe the feeling it evokes exactly - visual sensations that are often felt in my irl experience, but rarely do i see them documented on film (sort of like how irl sound has that particular multi-dimensional spatial quality, which very rarely is captured by music mixed down to two stereo channels) thanks the photographer was a news photographer so yeah, he probably is in for documental accuracy but in my opinion for good looking photos editing isn't only allowed, it's necessary for every single shot. as for the flies, well, I think all the contrasts between out of focus and focused dust might contribute to an enhanced sense of spatiality, also the usage of a flashlight coming from the side might enhance the three-dimensionality but maybe it's the chromatic aberrations that do the trick and perhaps remind on fractured light on the eyelashes?

I like this trick you are talking about. I tried this too a couple of times but never got back to it. I think this pic profits from it especially: I perceive good architecture shots exactly this way, I think oscilliks last pic very much falls under this category. What's that thing in the upper left corner? Is that damaged film? Looks lush

It might be my favourite Snares album but I like his new modular stuff too

Yeah, symmetrical union jack looks wrong. Also the fact that the horizontal line is separated from the vertical one looks odd. But what are you driving at?

lol

also they wenk good

yes feeling totally offended

^true but the poppy in the pic isn't opium poppy which is purple not red

Listened to the first one. Sounds pretty amazing. Nice punchy weirdly timed snares and beautiful background noises always make me happy

^you are describing famous communication theorist Paul Watzlawick's core idea.

lol

cunt

Jazz is shit. Faktreally! Imo :)

chili con carne, salad, wine

^the music is pretty bad tho

everything on this page played at the same time is nice

I like the shifting timbres and the lack of melody

https://translate.google.com/ I remember a time when Google translate was pretty much useless for whole texts but I'm surprised that it actually gives a relatively readable result

anyone care to translate the polish one? my polish is -∞ I know, it's not exactly short but also not really long (like my dick)

Crazy light. Taken with phone? I think you could make them even more surreal looking by some slight editing. I think there is a possibility to shoot in RAW even with the phone, that gives you the ability to bring back the over- and underexposed areas The green stuff is a close-up of water bubbles in a green bucket while water is poured into it.

You seem to be well informed about that page. Well, Autism is listed in DSM and ICD, so using it as an insult is a bit insensitive and as Ragnar figured a pretty Trump-esque thing to do

Yes, first result in Google, it quotes DSM https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_and_Statistical_Manual_of_Mental_Disorders
