medium format film 'scan' (actually a dslr photo of the negative taken with a light box) of a decorated mannequin head. photo taken from below, where the eyes seem to be looking, highlighting the damaged and cracked chin and bright red painted lips, also chipped and damaged. the nose is also chipped. despite it all, the general vibe is defiance and strength.

reddish brown dead leaves cling to a thin tree, caught in a shaft of late sunlight like the top edges of the multi-family home behind it. the unlit background clouds are featureless and grey-blue photo of a metal pole for traffic lights against a building of dark mirrored glass, warping and reflecting a bright stucco building across the street

bright yellow fall foliage on a single tree dominates a cemetery scene, the ground covered in leaves green leaves obscure the foreground (and a person, whose legs are just visible), with red fall foliage in the background. the ground is dotted with old headstones and fallen leaves

a brick apartment building looks like its blushing: a bright pink red tree in front is losing its leaves looking up at a criss-cross of power lines enmeshing a tree with yellow leaves and bare branches against a background of impossible clouds. street signs dappled in shadows against a bright pink orange background of fall foliage. a black and white "one way" sign pointing left above a deep red "do not enter" sign.

can someone please tell the techbros that modern education IS NOT there to make good WORKERS:

the purpose of education is to make good HUMANS.

why else exist? if the only thing you accomplish in life is a big bank account, then you have utterly failed and you've wasted ur time on the planet.

fall light at mt. auburn cemetery 2 days ago
#photography #cmountlens

*it's not fisheye. its a lens made in the 60s for a 16mm film gate, much smaller than the sensor in my camera. so im capturing the entire image circle (EVERY lens casts a circular image ofc, our devices crop it...by tradition?)
fall light fights through bright yellow leaves and lays across a large main branch curving upward. the top of a marble cross is visible bottom right looking up at an old weathered carved stone urn backed by the superbright redorange blur of fall foliage. the "eternal flame" on top of the urn is lit by a shaft of sunlight
