It’s #BandcampFriday — skip the algorithms, pay the humans!

📷 Artists, add your music and merch to the threads, and don’t forget to like and repost to give your fellow artists a boost!

Some legit prototyping going on. The Raspberry pi Zero has the most obnoxious USB port, USB micro. I couldn’t get any of my keyboards to work, so auto-login and piping my ssh command outputs into /dev/tty1 got me typing in vim on the screen. Fixed two cross system incompatibilities in my code too.

I'm doing some bash scripting for my newest project. Curious to see how this will perform on an e-ink screen.

Got contacted by an AI company to endorse their tool. They did zero research before contacting me. I have a degree in AI, so unless your AI tool is open source I won't even bother looking at it 🤷‍♀️

The original forest image was taken with my Brownie with the flipped lens, and the creature came out of a dream. It was a digital collage on top of a film photo and I really love that I can print this analog as a cyanotype.

Got myself a bigger frame for cyanotype printing today. The shop where I got it isn't even two kilometres from here, but I had to lie down after coming back. My health is still too iffy to get the footage I need since that's a longer walk than that 🤷‍♀️ I guess I'll try again tomorrow *sigh*

Diana F+, probably with the pinhole aperture. I've photographed this particular tree quite a few times with different cameras but this one has the right mood.

My newest rabbit hole involves reusing an old iPad screen for a raspberry pi project. I've been investigating this before but hadn't quite figured out what I wanted it to be in the end.

This was taken on my Brownie with the flipped lens. I have no idea where the circle of light came from, but I probably forwarded it in full sun and the red window at the back burned it in there.

I used to work in webdesign until all creative aspects of the job were replaced with a content management system. The job became nothing but inputting data and battling with templates. In the end I was offered a position maintaining the CMS because they had completely misconfigured it.

This was probably made with my Diana F+. I could check in my clever OCD Excel sheet, but I can already tell from the corners that it wasn't my Brownie and it isn't sharp enough for my Rollei. Perfect kind of shot for classic cyanotype because that takes out a lot of sharpness anyway.

New video is up, this time some new music! In this track I experimented with the AE modular drone38 module which is a bank of 18 oscillators. #synth #ambient #eurorack #AEModular

There is one feature on Twitter I still miss on here: I want to turn off Reposts from certain people I follow. I want to see the things people post themselves, not the random political articles that they came across on their feed and probably haven’t even read beyond the clickbait headline 🙄

Speed Graphic, Leitz Hektor 150mm f/2.5, Foma 100, printed on Canson XL with the classic cyanotype formula.

I just love how this one turned out!

I'm deep in my cyanotype printing project right now. These are from yesterday or the day before? I have my workflow figured out now and I'm getting fairly predictable results which makes me happy. These are printed on Canson XL which is working out really well for me.
