The Data-Possession. You’re coming back wrong! Ghostly glyphs are phasing over your face. Like a ritual mask. "Lines of code flow like linen strips"... wrapping you. Binding you. Just like they’re binding me! Your goggles rotate. You aren't looking at me anymore. You’re looking at the void. This is the fear
i can't wait for summer to come for the nights to get lighter because it'll feel like day all night long and i can stay up and up and up and not worry about the morning light a new day a day closer to the day i'll have to realize with real eyes my real lies. every second is a second closer to another day another age another level and nineteen feels like so much when in reality it's really not, is it?/
Self-portrait.
is this crazy?
is this weird?
is this kind of unreal?
it is, but it is reality:
completely cool the interior form this tower:
hutchinson house from 1975, brutalismn office building with a kind of a shopping mall in the first several floors.
most of it cladded in golden stainless steel.
architects: Wong & Ouyang @ hutchinson house
you have to see this image big! at least with a black background.
honestly: what an interesting ..............something.
blink! blank! steel! blink blank !
ZOOM IT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It took me years to find out this place exists, and it took me a couple more years to finally come to terms with where it was and go there. It's in East Portland, a trashy place I highly condemn, the scarier part of town. I hate it.
Attempting to conceal my camera as best as I could and without a bag, I was looking over my shoulder constantly as I was walking here. Hopscotch is a light exhibit that has characteristics in it's installments mirroring Meow Wolf and Teamlab (it's only now dawning on me how often I visit these kind of places).
This room mirrors a glass orb room from Teamlab Azabudai (that I have yet to upload). An infinity room with programmed light sequences, and the loudest subwoofers I've heard in a long time. It's impossible to not touch the lights as you walk through it so I was able to get a bit more of an improvisational shot. I got close to the mirror and then laid down to get an upward shot, changing my focus to the closest light and let the other lights fade into the distance to make the effect stronger. Also figured it would be appropriate for the 100th shot in my 2025 album.
But the closest light had a problem, it had a strange outline around it that makes it look like it was photoshopped in. So in editing I had to compromise it's sharpness to make the edges blurry and lighter (I also didn't want to go heavy on the saturation, I've been doing that a lot lately).
Truth be told this place was actually pretty good. Maybe not as good as contenders due to budget but still delivers. The only primary issue is it's location. Be safe if you plan to go.
Long summer days in Antarctica mean almost 24 hours of sunlight each day, a debt that must be repaid when the Antarctic winter returns…along with almost 24 hours of darkness each day!

High Street, Cardiff (Caerdydd), Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Saturday 17th of June 2023.
About the photograph.
The photograph was taken on High Street, roughly near to St Mary Street.
This maybe about 10 to 15 minutes after the start of the Pride parade, and still somewhere in the front section of the parade.
This guy is one of the handful of drummers on the march, with the Pride parade, I cropped the photo to give it a closer feel to him.
I figure to covert the photo, in Adobe Lightroom, into black and white, for a more photojournalism feels to it, and used Adobe Photoshop to crop it closer.
This was my second Pride photography, having done the Bristol Pride the year before, and my fourth photojournalism kind of photography. I was simply being an unpaid freelance photographer, taking the photos in order to build up experience and portfolio.
That day was a very hot sunny day, the parade was about one mile in length, and for those taking part in the parade, it would take them only about an hour to complete the journey. It took me about two hours, considering I often went back and forth along the parade looking for good shots.
At the end, I got myself a massive sunburn, but don’t worry, I learnt my lessons, on the next similar photography missions, I use sun cream.
About the event.
Pride Cymru was previously called Cardiff Mardi Gras when it was formed in September 1999. It held annual festival in Bute Park. It became a registered charity in 2010, and starting from 2012, they held a parade through the city centre.
In 2014, Cardiff Mardi Gras was renamed to Pride Cymru, and had operated under the new name ever since the change of name.
Pride Cymru is in reality a weekend event, often called Pride Cymru Big Weekend, and attracts up to 50,000 people over the three days, with Saturdays having the parade through the city centre.
The route for the parade is approximately about more or less one mile in length, and would take anyone approximately up to an hour to complete the route.
Because I was doing photojournalism, trying to find interesting shots, therefore I often sometimes walk back and forth, up and down the parade, so it would take me about a couple of hours to do the photo-shoot.
That day was a very hot and strong sunny day, and I some sunburn.

My nails done long, my makeup just so, I thought I could push the envelope, extra short skirt and cute white heels. Upon exiting the clothing store, strutting along back to my car thinking I look my best, two men in a vehicle were beckoning each woman as they they passed. I had to pass them also so I did what any self-respecting lady would do, I ignored them.
"Ma'am, excuse me ma'am, may I ask you a question?"
Well as I ignored them they got irritated and I suppose looked at me with a more discriminating eye and then I heard behind me, "Sir, may I ask you a question".
As I blushed and smiled over this incident, I pondered. Am I able to do this only because I live in a polite and civil society? Is a little bit of brutal honesty occasionally helpful, letting me know how I am coming across? I think I value this as a way of helping me determine my limitations.

For Our Daily Challenge - "escape"
For me, my almost-daily trips out around the beaches and landscape in Darwin is my escape. It's my downtime and relaxation :)
This one has had the colours pushed a bit to make it feel more "out of this world".
Operations image of the week:
A team of researchers at ESA’s mission control centre in Darmstadt, Germany, are investigating new concepts for controlling rovers on a planet and satellites in orbit.
One approach is to assess the latest developments in augmented and virtual reality and how they can be applied to the stringent operational and safety requirements of spaceflight, both robotic and human.
“In one case, we are looking into emerging technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, working together with colleagues from ESA’s European Astronaut Centre in Cologne,” says Mehran Sarkarati.
“In particular, we are developing prototypes in astronaut operations and training while identifying scenarios for interactive spacecraft and robotic control.”
In this image, Steffen Bamfaste, a data systems engineer, demonstrates how astronauts might train in future to extinguish a fire inside a lunar habitat.
Similar augmented reality technology holds promise for satellite control by means of virtual displays and advanced, integrated team communication capabilities.
Today, engineers must upload a stack of commands to instruct a satellite to adjust its orbit or a rover to switch one of its onboard devices on or off, for example.
In future, perhaps they’ll do this with a simple wave of a hand.
