Casual photographer, disciple of the monochrome arts. Historian by training, with a side of philosophy. Interested in anything that involves creating something.
Making an extremely rare appearance on the Hellsite because I thought I'd check where the #photography community is emigrating to. Is Mastodon still the main destination or are folks jumping on Bluesky?
@alectorious@C20Society@bdp_com@mkcouncil@livingarchive1@SaveThePoint@BucksLiveNews It's not the most elegant of solutions but it means the pyramid lives to see another day rather than end up like most historic buildings in Greater Manchester. It's been empty for years since Coop moved their HQ in Manchester so it's a good thing it doesn't go derelict.
Well, wow.
Looks like it's been almost 2 years since I've been active here. I almost forgot this account existed! Suppose that's what happens when you have a child and the first two years go with the blink of an eye.
What have I missed?
I've said it before and I'll day it again: the One More Stop server is a fantastic community and one that shows incredible levels of generosity of each other. I myself mentioned about half-frame and today I received this wonderful gift and I'm genuinely touched.
Some people will really say any odd shit to get attention.
However, no surprise it's the grifter promoting the grifting art model. And I use the word art in the loosest possible senses.
Pentax announcing that they are kickstarting a film camera project with a stated roadmap beginning at a p&s and ending at a fully mechanical SLR is not something I had on my 2022 bingo card.

@Antihippy And it is going to backfire horribly because a lot of the younger nurses that have been entering the profession in the past 3 to 5 years are very militant and won't just take it like previous generations of nurses. The govt is dealing with the post-2008 crisis generation.
Poor choice of headline aside, Fan Ho was a fantastic photographer and it's probably because of him that the whole abstract minimalist bow street photography is a thing.
@shotbyshaun Granted the title seems to quote someone else, they could have chosen a different title. Especially given, you know, that the photography of HCB and Fan Ho is completely different. Either the editor is lazy or is ignorant.
Harry Kane completely fucked that penalty but I bet you the media and the English (read male, white) pub commentariat will still find a way to blame the likes of Saka, Rashford or Bellingham. Apparently it's always the brown boys' fault even when it's the white guy that fucks up.
@wulfrunian40 @jburnmurdoch Or the classic NI football song on the notes of The Battle Hymn of the Republic which has the verse and chorus section of "They're the greatest little country the world has ever seen and this is what we said! We're not Brazil, we're Northern Ireland but it's all the same to me".
They took out 50% of their colonial rulers, here's for hoping they take out the other 50%.
And tbh, why not have an African country win the tournament overall?
For the first time in almost 12 years living in England I've not been a passive observer and now actually hope they beat the French. But this may be the Italian in me with ITA-FRA unresolved football trauma.
In any case, this is a very tasty game!
