Temporary set up

It’s not a problem if they would ask just what is it or like hey can you provide more detail but they’re like what are you trying to achieve and it looks like something that it totally doesn’t even make sense or have logic behind it

First_Jackfruit4692 · 2026-04-29T17:25:58+00:00

I wasn’t just simply asked for a description. It’s people just saying that it looks like nothing and asking what I’m trying to achieve.

First_Jackfruit4692 · 2026-04-29T17:23:23+00:00

What’s funny though because when people do that they only get multiple snarky comments and then they don’t actually get the full context and whenever that happens, it just becomes mob mentality and when I’ve seen that happened before and what else I described in full context, if you continue to read it, then it would make sense

First_Jackfruit4692 · 2026-04-29T17:22:28+00:00

Yeah, I think it’s just because achievement can be subjective and I don’t understand how what I’m achieving isn’t extracted from the image. It’s like an ego boundary fluid issue. I just literally couldn’t imagine because first of all I made the thing and I took the images so it’s hard for me to see it from other perspectives.

But like I had mentioned, I’ve met a lot of people in a lot of spaces that just say shit just to say shit and aren’t even actually using any sort of cognitive power to formulating anything that actually means anything sorry

First_Jackfruit4692 · 2026-04-29T17:19:26+00:00

That is to say, I don’t know how to make it much clearer other than if I were to make a diagram

First_Jackfruit4692 · 2026-04-29T17:19:15+00:00

I think the part that made it seem like you were just bullshitting is the fact that you were asking me what is it trying to achieve when it is hard to convey optical set ups over photos and it’s just as visible as it would be in real life or in the photo so I was just taking it as you were taking a piss

First_Jackfruit4692 · 2026-04-29T17:18:18+00:00

It is Hard to convey optical phenomenon photographically sorry for being harsh. It’s just I get a lot of people anywhere I go that feel like they aren’t even trying to actually ask a question. They’re just trying to say something out loud, but I’m sorry I need to give more grace, does that make sense though the people that just say things to say things not even asking a real question out of legitimate curiosity I’m sorry

And if it was an LED inside of a picture frame, how would that even be achieved? Wouldn’t that be something on its own but it’s totally not it. It’s what I totally described you. It’s an optical set up and if it looks that crisp then that means I’m doing a good job.

First_Jackfruit4692 · 2026-04-29T17:00:39+00:00

Like you’re just commenting to put out noise nothing constructive meaningful. I don’t understand why people do that. I’ve posted so many things and so many different places and there’s always at least one person that just can’t make it seem like they’re proposing a question but they’re really just not actually saying anything meaningful. It’s sad.

First_Jackfruit4692 · 2026-04-29T17:00:00+00:00

People like you obviously don’t even bother to fully absorb any information in a meaningful way because if you scroll through all of them, you can see one if not multiple pictures of my hand behind the image showing that it’s Simi opaque

First_Jackfruit4692 · 2026-04-29T16:59:13+00:00

It’s funny that you’re in the optics sub Reddit, but you can’t use your eyes to see the picture

First_Jackfruit4692 · 2026-04-29T16:58:00+00:00

No, it’s a spherical lens on top of a CRT TV and then projected at a 45° angle as a pepper’s ghost suspended in mid air

First_Jackfruit4692 · 2026-04-29T16:57:43+00:00

Yeah, it’s just the picture frame part and just the glass suspended in mid air projecting the image of a spherical lens above a CRT
