The Official Head-Case Photography Thread.

You and I are a lot alike on the reflection front. What's the old quote I can never find a record of? "We live just long enough to doubt everything we believed in" (or something similar)? 

Anyway, within photography, and I know not everyone agrees, gear got good enough at least a decade ago (and probably much longer - four decades?) and common big photographic questions answered (at least in pursuit of realism?), so whatever constitutes image making now seems at least partially tied with experimentation and alternative views, no? I mean is a mouth camera much crazier than the fact that the mouth camera is a film pinhole camera in 2024? Anyway, looking forward to other orifices in 2025. 🫠

I for one I'm waiting for something like the extinct Google glasses with video features, so I can wear them while operating or attending a concert, or walking the city for pictures. While discreet, the mouth camera won't be so convenient

Flickr turned 21 and did post on Instagram about it because Zucc won't rest until he consumes us all that's the age we live in.  Apparently a shot I took in 2006 is featured in it.

Instagram ruins the shot, as it does to all things including the mental health of anyone who uses it.

The original isn't bad, if I do say so myself.

So, did they actually ask permission, or was that in some ToS that you signed away everything years ago?

Also, did they let you know, or just... you found it?

Been rainy here, but trying to record the rapidly disintegrating, once great Alviso next door (I've mentioned before). Almost no remaining connection to the surrounding Silicon Valley (Polycom and TiVo once had their HQs there), except the tech bros/brogrammers who visit the TopGolf near the town border. This time with a Hassy 500cm, II 50c back and Zeiss F4 Distagon CF T*.

The images are sad, but I like the photos.
