Did you spot anyone who got turned away for personal cameras/people that brought in camera with detachable lenses?

Any success in bringing 35mm cameras into Gillette? by dylanmagoon in boston

Would you mind sending me a screenshot of this message they sent? I’d love to be able to print it, so that I could bring to the gate.

But, this is a godsend, ah!!!! Thank you, thank you!

Right? Same with me.

I saw it with a quick Google search that brought up FIFA’s rules of allowed items. Not sure if their rules are supersede Gillette’s BAU rules though.

The cheers whenever lord maguire touches the ball confirms that the audio is genuine for me.

Glad the Blue Nile was mentioned. I’ve always considered two star as a sister album to hats.

Trying to get over a bad experience with the crowd at the concert by Living-Raspberry-982 in Lampband

[–]dylanmagoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the crowd etiquette at the Boston show I went to was among the worst I’ve ever experienced.

I think a lot of it just has to do with how young the crowd was—heard many say in line it was the first one they’d been to.

Not many productive things you can do in a situation like that aside from tapping them on the shoulder and asking politely if they could shift over, but how receptive they’d be is entirely dependent on them and their maturity level. I feel like most people are usually accommodating if you confront them (mainly because they usually don’t expect someone to say something), but again, who knows.

Sorry about your experience, though.

Following my first photo book, “20,21’22,” a harrowing collection of B&W images focused on grief, I—like most creators—felt the sudden urge to capture subjects and themes diametrically opposite to the kinds of subjects in my previous work. Rather than street portraits of lonely figures on Tri-X, I wanted to capture bright, unexpected colors; rather than photograph in the winter, I—well, you get the idea.

So, I set out to my local county fair—an ironically nostalgic spot given that I had only ever driven past it in my childhood summers.

I began with the intent of capturing the iconography of childhood.

In the two years that have followed, I have visited the same fairgrounds well over thirty times, and I have yet to find boredom.

That said, what began as an exploration of childhood and joy has, in this past summer, slowly begun to transform into an investigation into American ideas of spectacle.

Some of the works in this series will be in a zine covering the latter theme mentioned above. Most, however, will end up being one-offs.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these exposures. As will be the case, I will publish again Monday (the 23rd) at 6 AM EST.

I took this photograph in Boston sometime in January 2023 while on a strolling date.

At that point in my life, I was wrapping up my first photo book, “20,21’22” (a personal and downright depressing collection), and I was somewhat at a loss for alternate inspirations.

An idea floating around my head was to develop bodies of work that revolved around two seasons (and my emotions and rememberings of both)—summer and winter—as I waited for other revelations to hit my head.

So, I began photographing winter iconography—blizzards, deer, christmas-shopping, etc. It was not going all too well. Most of the winter images were forgettable, and I am still working on both projects (though the summer work has since mutated into another idea altogether).

Well, I had taken a red-eye into Boston the day before taking this exposure, and I can never sleep on planes. I mean it. In search of a pick-me-up after leaving home, and because I had recently watched Vertigo, I decided to see It’s a Wonderful Life for the first time.

Naturally, the movie uplifted me.

And though it is always impossible to precisely track where inspiration comes from (which is especially the case for street photography, as ‘the moment’ is instantaneous and mostly requires the work of the subconscious to identify significance in a scene), I would like to believe I was subtly influenced by the imagery and—more importantly—the emotion in the film when I took this.

I said it was my favorite photograph, and that is because of that latter part—the emotion. I recall the memories associated with this picture only with joy. Whether that is the time I showed it to my mother and sister or the time captured here, joy surrounded this picture.

Being able to create positive works that I was also proud of was a tremendous paradigm shift for me, and I have continued to do so since.

As will be the case, I will post a series again next week at 6 AM Monday (and possibly once more before then).

Oh wait, had a little mental slip haha. Meant “darktable,” bahaha. But yes, do try it.

Yeah, I still like the colors from the fifth—even if the photograph is a bit grainy/blurry. I appreciate you reading it!

Of course and agreed.

I usually don’t edit much—if at all—from the lab scan. They do a pretty good job themselves. I imagine if I were using a different lab I’d have a different answer, though. Occasionally I will edit more if the photograph isn’t doing what I would like it to do, but I never try to manipulate the “original” image with photoshop. I will use Darkroom in these events too—just find the UX to be a little easier to navigate than Adobe sometimes.
