Critique Welcomed I Dropped Acid One Day Then I Took A Picture

[Brian Moore]

Not! I put a new roll of film in the camera and was tripping rolleyes the shutter and winding the leader on as I walked through my house.

I may have posted this before.

Olympus XA with Fuji 400 film.

I don't recall it, and I'm sure I would as it is wonderful. Somewhat reminiscent of those amazing townscapes that Julian used to produce, but more ethereal.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks Pete. Those pictures of Julian's were wonderful. I'm connected to him on IG as well as FB. I think he's concentrating more on his ceramic art lately. (Which is also wonderful.) Perhaps I should encourage him to come back to RPF.

 

[Pete Askew]

You should. I miss his images.

 

[Brian Moore]

You should. I miss his images.

Will do.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Wonderful, again. I can't recall seeing it before, Brian. A good one.

What is IG?

Thanks Rob. IG: Instagram.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Never heard of it.

 

[Brian Moore]

Never heard of it.

It's for younger folk, Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Understood.

Forums typically respect the souls of the members they contain, are often built on a passion for a topic or topics, and generally aren't sold as commodities for a billion USD.

The 'platform' buzzword often used in reference to 'social' media suggest a flat space with edges instead of an embracing container. The flat platform analogy offers a way of sweeping away the ashes of those consumed as an economic fuel source, ignited by the magnifying glass element of the business model's machinery.

Or a flat planet analogy.

Maybe I exaggerate. Maybe not. I am ok with my outlook. Researching who owns a platform usually reaffirms my bias. My loss (my gain).

 

[Brian Moore]

Maybe I exaggerate. Maybe not.

I've fixed the broken link to the photo.

 

[Pete Askew]

Are you still in touch with Julian, Brian?

 

[Brian Moore]

Are you still in touch with Julian, Brian?

Yes Pete. Minimally so, I would say. We are connected through Instagram. His artistic outlet is mostly pottery these days, although he occasionally posts some abstract drawings, which are, at least in my view, wonderful. A while back I invited him to start posting photos again on RPF but he seemed not to be in that head space at that time. I think @Rob MacKillop is still connected with Julian also.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Barely, like you Brian. I love his pottery and artwork. I just don’t think he has time for photography these days.
