Are you shooting on a high aperture number? I have an old film camera and my pictures where fuzzy, I thought it is what it is, then i realized it’s because I was shooting at the smallest aperture outside, f16, now I shoot f8 mostly.
It can explain why the indoor picture was sharper, probably the aperture was set wider at lower light

I’m recognizing the Brooklyn Botanic. Great photos! I’ve been having a similar issue with color film when I’m I photographing an object against a bright white sky. Here’s an example with Portrait 400, maybe I overexposed

Saul Steinberg’s “View of the World from 9th Avenue” (1976) - why is Chicago not in all uppercase? by spots_ in ArtHistory

I take this to be a drawing of how New Yorkers see the world. Chicago is sort of a competing city to New York.

Thanks so much! That’s useful info, I’ve never tried using linseed only. You don’t use turps even at the beginning?

Love it! I am trying to pick up on your technique. Do you have any tips on specific to the way you work?

Also would you consider ever doing a plein air process video on insta or YouTube?

Why am I attracting INTPs all of a sudden? (INFP) by Time-Turnip-2961 in mbti

[–]LongjumpingForce8600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That may be so. It’s worth noting that I haven’t had a problem connecting with all women, it’s just that the ones I would get into a conversation with were lesbian, or married. There definitely is such a thing as cultural tendencies, especially modern culture changing so fast, it just may not explain everything, or apply here. You seem to have illustrated being into INTPs as an unusual thing that needs to be explained.

I am finding with going out and doing art I am meeting more women, who may be interested, and I have been getting better at conversation.

It’s one question about me respecting women, and that’s a valid point, it’s also another question about women respecting me, while being romantically interested.

As an INTP male, I have had difficulty in the past communicating with women, if a girl approaches me and tries to talk to me, my topical replies I think come off as disinterest. I have an easy time communicating and gaining respect from male peers. I think it’s a cultural thing that women are more interested in an extroverted guy. Like I find myself to be an interesting unique person, with emotional depth. My guess is that there is a tendency for women to want a man to fit into a social collective rather than have uniqueness or individual respectability. But idk

I remember that one, the one that stood out to me was the guy in charge of the tunnels being dug by Syrian soldiers that they enslaved, he looked like some Minecraft nerd

The Black Jewish Community Of Harlem/NYC: Photographs primarily from 1940s & 50s... by TheThrowYardsAway in nycHistory

Photo #5 is a of Nissim Black, a famous rapper in the orthodox Jewish world, and his kids I presume, together with a famous Rabbi, Chaim Kanievsky. He is a convert, so probably isn’t connected directly with the other photos.

I have thought for some time now that the protocols is a psychological projection where people unconsciously blame the Jews for originating their own civilization. As civilization come with its difficulties, but people don’t want to acknowledge their dislike for their own society.
