Finally getting around to organizing my archive and finding all sorts of vignettes. Like this throwback to the time when I spent 3 weeks in Niamey, Niger.

@0xwolff03 I went down a different rabbit hole. I started shooting film. But now that it’s cold and dark and I don’t want to go outside , I’ve come back full circle

I have taken delivery of mannequin heads for portrait light pattern practice. In a couple weeks, I should be ready to do human trials

I shot a parade last weekend. I’ve never been to one before, much less shot one. And I now have two rules I must follow for subsequent ones. 1 - Don’t shoot the parade. 2 - Stop down, for god’s sake

I’m shooting B/W to improve how I perceive light, but because I’m capturing in raw/jpg, I can see what could also be in the full spectrum when I go to review later, and it’s very…um…distracting? At least in the near term. Perhaps I should commit fully and just shoot JPG.

It’s sadly out of focus, but it’s got “character”, let’s go with that

I’m currently at the Dunning Kruger phase of photography where I’m convinced that this can pass for abstract urban geometry

Ai is great case I can ask it “Yo bud ffmpeg command compress video to 720p 30fps make it good looking but under 30 mb no audio h264 mp4 stat homie keep it succinct” and get a perfect result

Wish they’d kept the manual focus clutch on the 17mm. Ah well.

Here's a 2-minute preview. I would upload the full thing, but duration limits.

[Bankole Oluwafemi @MrBankole]

One day a couple years ago, I was walking down the street in Lagos, and observed Dele, camera in hand, taking photos.

Street photography is a tricky thing to do in Lagos, so I approached him to ask if I could shadow him for a day.

This is the result.

Colours are pre-grade

I’m in the middle of translating some Yoruba exchanges from a Lagos street photography vignette that’s been sitting on my hard drive for ~2 yrs, and the dialogue gets funnier (at least to me) as things escalate. Of course there’s nuance that just the text cannot convey
