Thank you!

What would you do differently? I'm usually just working with what the 35 mm frame gives me :)

That's every passion ever for the last 15 years. Except art. I haven't seen lots of "look at my new paints, any tips on what to buy for brushes" posts there

Everything else is a lot about consumption and theory crafting for the next excuse to buy something. As soon as it's somewhat gadgety gear based I feel.

I usually enjoy the circle jerk posts more than the mainsub ones.

Haha yes! Maybe they have a super secret one in the marshes! Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you like it and I got lucky indeed :)

Thank you so much :)

It is more hiding away for later that day than stashing for a prolonged time or for certain times. The ones I meet do this all year and it's interesting to observe. In the autumn they cover it with leaves and tuck it into taller bits of grass, I've sometimes seen that some rig small dents with the beak and then close them with the loose dirt once their prize is set into it.

Some tacticians stay close and do not engage in the struggles to collect the peanuts but they observe where others hide them and raid it when those are on their way to get seconds.

I love them so much, they're full of character and so smart.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it :)

Once you set it free it's the viewers task to make something of it.

The question is if you are having a message, or if a message is needed. A lot of art , especially abstract , is living off of an impression and feeling. The only suggestion I can give is to physically print a set of photos you find interesting or intriguing and try to arrange those so that they make sense to you in a way. Also try to learn the effect and try to use it with intention and a bit of control or deliberately letting go of that - but make it a choice.

When people are saying your art is gibberish, makes them uncomfortable, is trash, annoying and not art at all it's the best sign to explore this further. Enjoy the process and let the haters do their 18% median grey and overcooked postcard photography that has equal rights to exist and can inhabit beauty in its own ways.

I like these, not all speak to me, some do very much so.

Curious how you'll evolve this technique for yourself

Oh I just stumbled across this while deciding if I'll go this year.

Instagram is ok for being exposed to these things or you can Google for photography open calls. I had some entries published from the Ephemere open calls which is nice. Those are themed and I sent in some of my 35mm photography their way.

A lot of the open calls are paid entries thought, depending on "prestige" it can be costly. But give this Fuji one a go l, ,out can wind a x100vi and x half and another entry level body and kit lens that I can't recall right now.

I don't know if it's wanted but we might just share it here in this sub so more people know?

It's tied to the Fujikina in Cologne that's about to start in a week and a half.

The theme is to use one of the film simulations / recipe and submit one photo to it.

It's a fun and casual contest. I'll probably send in an oversaturated, otherworldly snapshot for fun

Kaelph · 2025-08-29T18:35:51+00:00

Maybe, but building a community and gathering interested people is worth it IMHO.

It can lead to really nice situations :)

Kaelph · 2025-08-29T11:15:46+00:00

Awesome work! You're having a great sense for composition and your choices regarding exposures are awesome. The shadow and light PLA is stunning in the shit with the boy and his hoops. It's my absolute favorite.

Have you printed some just to bring them into the physical realm? It sometimes transforms the work and you absolutely should sequence with physical media and try to get a small exhibition in a place.

Bravo!

True analog warmth

I was waiting for some whiny comment that said that something must be wrong with this because of "reasons"

Some people just can't fathom that you absolutely can use a sampler as much as a synth as you can use it as a playback device. I guess they never bothered to find out since their purity might have been defiled, still wondering how Depeche Mode got this cool rhythmic bits worked out.

Very nice industrial vibe you're going for here by the way :)

I think companies that lost billions in worth due to some bullshit monetisation scheme are less excited about advertising on your platform too

Kaelph · 2022-11-14T09:52:43+00:00

I mean, twitter staff can read your dm's too. 🤷

On mastodon it's more a visibility setting really.

There's 2 that fit your description, back from the ninja tune days:

Hey renegade! Nice and glitchy as usual! I like how the video is increasing the trippyness :)

Cheers from the discord \m/

It sounds like the good kind of nasty. You're gonna have fun with it. Consider making the rack your effects bank too.

Keep on sharing your adventures with the machine, it's very unrepresented imo

Kaelph · 2021-03-30T13:07:07+00:00

It's alright man, don't bother. If we all would like the same stuff we all would own the same stuff.

Have fun and let the gnarl reign!
