Sorry about that 😅

That's fair, it's not great, but is it bad I actually kinda like how uh, let's say imperfect it is? I always enjoyed having to find little workarounds to stuff back when the internet was a UI nightmare. It takes me back 😂

Yeah, having to have real things is the tricky bit, because I don't want to create a load of junk props just for my one-off shoot as that's the opposite of solarpunk haha. I think it might just have to be seeing what community projects exist and seeing if I can find a way to style them for a shoot.

My only thought so far that feels true to solarpunk is actually finding existing community projects (community gardens, repair cafes etc) to shoot something kinda like an ad campaign for them - a bit stylised, with some models alongside real volunteers. Let them get stuck in, and document it.

Noo! Like, I love that as a short story concept, but I'm soo tired of gloomy, conflict-heavy dystopias (the world's gloomy enough already) - I want to find a way to bring eco-anarchist/ afro-futurist/ solarpunk visions to life with photography.

This was also my first time using RawTherapee for editing - it was much, much easier than darktable when all you wanna do is throw a preset on a bunch of images!

Hi Jim, thanks for the follow- I'm still finding my way around but enjoying it here so far!

Browsing your profile may have just opened my eyes to the possibility of posting my photos while also being mouthy about politics so thanks for that 😅
