  • yeah, and Adams was dealing with enormous negatives that required chemical processing, which then got printed onto enormous prints and were very very very much edited! one example you can see here with the artist, they’re quite distinct! But this is analog editing, overexposing some areas (burning) and underexposing the image in other areas (dodging), using lights and mattes to select areas.

    there’s a tremendous amount of intent that goes into finding the location, then the weather, and time, and waiting for magic - that part in the clouds or just as light filters past a ridge - and then with analog photography, you shoot and hope lol, there’s no instant feedback, just trust the process and be meticulous.





  • yeah drunk I’d probably neglect to notice. on some high sativa or acid whoohooo

    <knock knock knock> dude you ok in there?

    me, frozen in the entrance with the door shut at my back, in pure existential meltdown but juuuust barely holding onto the piss I came in to relieve - “UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”







  • yeah, I’m overall thinking renewables + storage = a much better overall solution for generation, transmission, and impact.

    I don’t think we should ‘get rid’ of nuclear - the tremendous investment in giant steam run nuclear plants should be used, but we shouldn’t build new ones, and should look really hard at how we’re gonna store the waste in a secure manner.

    Ideally waste-consuming reactors will come along to eat all those waiting storage pools of hot radionuclides and turn them into energy + inert waste, but until then we have to stop adding to the pile.
