saw that today & weirdly didn't read for fear of spoilering the film; maybe I will do so now. really enjoying bremser, lately.

do I post this every three months? it seems kinda related-

posting the same thing again and again is pretty great. I do that some places as well.

those photos above.... I love them! The soft colors are great. It looks really good presenting scanned prints like that. I wish I could send off for optical prints, but realistically it's just too much money compared to scanning.

^ yeah, for sure. my negatives are just a disaster but in my head, & so feasibly one bright & well-intentioned day soon, i'll have a system where i set aside things that i specifically want to print, just stray shots i'd like to have hard copies of or see sorta fully realised. feel like these considerations are very relevant to ideas about collecting photos for a book, too. my friend was talking about her experiences in a colour darkroom, recently, it sounded ... enchanting.

also, just for yucks: here is a very hi-res scan of one of robert frank's fifth avenue bus series,

all of that, excellent

my sort of white whale or moby dick is that I once checked out a book that had robert franks' fifth avenue bus series, and i remember very disticntly that there was a picture, on the front or the back, that was of robert frank's hand trailing out the window, reminiscent of koudelka. yet i found americansuburbx's posting of the series, and it's no there. i've asked people familiar with the works of robert frank if they remember a shot like that, they don't. i'm not sure where i saw this shot but i can see it so vividly in my head, and i am so sure that it came from frank. it is not the shot at the carnival with the sign that says 'the lines of my hand' in french.

i think i just post shots from internet history now:

your image rings a bell though. was it in storylines? i have a similar Robert Frank Vision Quest, for a picture of either Mary or June, I think, on a beach, by the sea, in profile, that I saw in a documentary & I think even screengrabbed. it is notable for not being the image that appears in search results for this shot which sorta conforms to its description.

There's a pretty strong tradition of 3 am wasted Brits photography I think

Has anybody watched "Which Way Is the Front Line from Here? The Life and Time of Tim Hetherington" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2480784/?ref_=rvi_tt ?
Or the documentary "restrepo" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1559549/ he made?

those tumblrs are incredible

calling one "boring polaroids" is a real stretch. i was actually just thinking about parr's bored couples. i kinda always thought it was maybe one of his more unfuckwithable sets but it just seems like baloney to me now.

Moving forward, ASX will largely exist as a resource and archive. In the future, there may again be activity but largely, it will exist as is.

Enjoy it.

i am trying to buy a new lens though
i have a 50mm
