Yep. I find it interesting, too, that the first appearance of ford is in some western tv show from 1967… it took a full decade for him to become a real star. meanwhile he worked on FFC’s cabinets lol

yeah I need to know who’s doing this fuckery so I can avoid it

APC used to be rock solid; I have a unit by my foot that’s had the battery changed 3 times, once after a nasty power surge / lightning storm, the other two times after a decade of use. IIRC it’s a 2001 model. Replacement battery was $22 last time I changed it, just after covid.

friends like this aren’t friends, they’re jerks waiting to use people adjacent to them.

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.

just hypothesizing but: the part of the burbs they’re traversing doesn’t have much in the way of sidewalks along the highways, forcing detours along the local trails like the burke gilman.

light rail from bothell to Kenmore to the I-5 corridor
