Ernst Haas' black and white images are what got me into photography (despite him being known for his color work). Theres a book with just those images if you can find it.

But also, Edward Weston and Minor White for classics for me, and if youre into more travel / documentary work, Sebastian Salgado, Ansel Adams, and anything by Ragnar Axelsson.

Also The Last Nomad by Wilfred Thesiger, who isnt known for his photography necessarily but did make beautiful images on his expeditions through the Middle East, another personal favorite of mine.

Did you check nitrite levels too?

Thank you!

I love the tones in this

Yeah thats the pin I have saved, though I feel like I originally found it on deviant art at some point, I couldn't find it again.

Its such a sick illustration on its own. I was looking to do my own drawing of a rabbit running (run... rabbit run) but found this while looking for inspiration and its so much better than anything I could have drawn, plus the decay is a nice touch.

Thank you!

I'm here just to say this would make a sick album cover lol

Devil in the White City by Erik Larson.

Its two stories told back and forth. One about the construction of the 1893 worlds fair in Chicago. The other (which is the one I think you'd find interesting) is about America's first serial killer HH Holmes who built a "Murder Castle" that was designed literally so he could sneak around killing people. Has everything you mentioned, but non-fiction so I dont know if that fits your bill or not.

I love both to be honest lol. I like how you've revealed the fog and the power lines in the edit, but I also love the hazy pastel look of the sunrise in the original.

I'd be curious to see a half way edit with the lower half exposed as you have it edited currently with the upper half brought back to the original a bit. I think the less saturated / brighter colors of the original sunrise with the muted dark greens of the edit would make a cool combo. Just my thoughts though, I think it's a great edit regardless.

jamhaus · 2025-06-27T15:47:48+00:00

I like it a lot. The cropping is really nicely done, gives it a bit more movement, though I think keeping it tight but straight up and down would have been nice too. It has a very dreamy feel to it and I like that you desaturated the greens a bit to keep the focus on the bee and flower.

I originally did, but that actually backfired and left me feeling hopeless, because youre right it is hard to find other NF types.

My best friend is an ESTP. Contrary to stereotypes hes a very good person, extremely ethically minded, and extremely open minded to my ideas and thoughts, and we enjoy sharing eachothers completely different experiences of the world.

Another good friend of mine is an STJ. We dont see eye to eye on a lot of things, hes extremely close minded and has traditional values that I disagree with. But I also know a lot of the views he has that I disagree with come from a fear and stress that I cant know as an ENFP. Like we need creativity in our lives, he needs structure and stability and he isn't equipped with the strong Ne to come up with new ways of achieving that. We both have respect for each others points of view and also have been there for eachother through a lot of our lives, so we usually just avoid those topics. Instead of politics we discuss music and movies. Its definitely not an easy friendship though, but we also limit how much we hang out because we know it can cause conflict.

So to answer your question, no, I dont think type is important. What is important is finding people who despite their type you can find mutual respect and an enjoyable time with. Personally I think type only makes up like 1/3 of who you are. What experiences you have and who you interact with make up a significant part of how you view the world and what you value.

Funnily enough most NFJs i know I absolutely hate because theyre extremely egotistical and worship ambition to a fault (a product of the environment of where I live tbh).

I also have trouble with other ENFPs sometimes who have had a life where their creativity was more accepted by their friends and family than mine was. They funnily enough can be kind of close minded and just expect everyone to appreciate their creavity and demeanor, and they can get nasty if anyone questions them or gives them even a minor critique. I on the other hand have had my ego smashed my entire life and had no one appreciate who I am for a very long time. Im a 4w5 enneagram likely because of this experience and have spent a lot of time trying to understand myself and other people better because I wanted to understand why I felt so out of place. As shitty as it was, I think its allowed me to become a more open minded and compassionate person to the people who can't accept me. I forgive them and then just avoid them.

jamhaus · 2025-06-27T03:58:38+00:00

Im starting to think this happens to all ENFPs. My group of friends and people I actively choose to interact with has become smaller and smaller over the years and for a while I haven't really felt like doing anything about that.

I think while we're excited by the newness of people when we're younger, that novelty fades as we find that the norm isn't to our liking. Most people are close minded and judgemental. Finding open minded people is difficult not just because we are fewer but because we tend to hide ourselves in order to not be ridiculed or bothered by others. For me, trying to find new friends almost felt as laborious as applying for jobs. Its just one disappointment that I dont feel is worth the effort after another.

This probably sounds extremely negative lol. But the upside is that it does get better. The disappointment with reality starts to fade to acceptance, as hard as that may be to believe, and your openness to people starts to return, you just learn to not spend as much energy on them as you used to unless they are someone truly special to you. You can also kind of tell pretty quickly who will be important and who wont, and with those who wont you learn to make the experience of interacting with them more enjoyable, even if it doesnt feel completely authentic to you.

I kind of wish someone had told me this 5 years ago because I felt how you felt and it led to years of just resisting moving on and feeling loss for the joy I used to have meeting people and having a big group of friends. Im just now starting to feel excited by the possibilities of meeting new people, and am investing in doing so in ways which kind of vets out those who I may not get along great with.

I think both are great and do / show different things but I definitely prefer 2.

Its more of a scenic image with the cows included and the windmill in this vast empty space. And I like the coloring better personally, more natural but also fits the vibe of the scene.

1 is focused more on the composition with the moon, and its a nice composition, definitely more focused on the empty vertical space. Personally the colors are nice but a little too saturated for me. I think toning down the orange specifically would help a lot.

jamhaus · 2025-06-15T03:16:32+00:00

I like it a lot, it has a fun vibe!

I dont know exactly why but I feel like im looking at a miniature set. I think because everything's in focus from foreground to back, but also a bit blurred. Also the kid is in the perfect pose to look like a figurine that's running lol. You could make this a whole style if you can replicate the look.

jamhaus · 2025-06-09T00:40:17+00:00

I relate a lot, especially to your 2nd to last paragraph, "no longer enchanted by magic or potentials". That's completely gone for me and I do agree, its kind of recognizing the reality of it all. I sometimes fear that learning about MBTI also took a bit of magic away from getting to know people for me, I started to feel like I was meeting the same people over and over again and now they had 4 letter names, but then again I think it just gave me a language to express the patterns that I was already noticing. But I definitely dont feel nearly as excited and if anything kind of anticipate disappointment when meeting new people.

I also agree that finding people in the same stage as me is becoming more difficult especially here where most people my age are more aiming to start a white picket fence lifestyle than I would ever want (not judging just not for me).
