Pointless uploading because I'm bored and I need to remind myself to take pictures regularly again (even though I took some yesterday, but I won't be uploading any of them before Sunday).
And oh my gosh, I'll be able to send out my uni applications soon and it just feels so good and I can finally see a future and I'm quite positive I'll start studying architecture in October. I swear I haven't been so relieved in months.
(From the same day as this.)
Pointless destruction.
Does the orange paint symbolize anything? The only orange thing I can think of is the current resident of the White House. This did happen after Trump promised that Saturday night was going to be MAGA Night, whatever that means.
"We are not babies now, it’s time to follow our parents."
Medo sem sentido

Happy Feathery Friday!!!
Another useless part of the Preston station new entrance, destined to gather leaves and litter I suspect.
It seemed pointless to offer this near monotone in black and white. The color in this room neither distracts nor excites. Likewise the dramatic spare tall windows admit light without a view of anything meaningful. This is designed to be a quiet place at The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. In my opinion the architects were entirely successful in communicating solemnity befitting the subject. www.google.com/search?client=safari&hl=en-us&sxsr... www.pcf-p.com/about/james-ingo-freed/
Being serviced is the Amtrak Phase 1 Heritage Unit after bringing in #313 a couple hours ago. In the morning it will lead The Missouri River Runner #314 to St. Louis.

The moon this afternoon, closer than 362,000 km from Earth. I noticed that it was time for the Supermoon so I walked up the hill at home for a quick snap of the moon from behind the trees.
New print available at Harewood House 'Awesome Movement / Fantastic Motion' & Somerset House 'Pick Me Up'. Left over prints will be available online from mid May. Edition 90.
The roads around the US consulate in frankfurt are blocked off with
razor wire, considering that I could walk up to and around the wire one
has got to ask "what's the point?"
Okay, I admit it, I kinda hate the Lomograflok. It's just a weird, overly-compromised, ill-conceived device. It's fiddly as heck and it adds multiple steps to the already fiddly process of taking large format photographs.
The image window is off-center (why?) and it increases the effective focal length of your lenses. (oh boy) You use a plastic VHS tape-size brick insert to focus and compose, and then remove your ground glass (?!?) and attach the Lomograflok before pulling the dark slide and getting on with it already. It's just a giant clusterf*ck back there.
Need to refocus or compose a new shot? Remove the Lomo, back on with the ground glass, back in with the giant Lego, rinse, repeat. Much shuffling of black camera contraptions to and from the bag. And in the end, what do you get? A kinda mushy soft focus wallet-size print with acceptable colors and very limited dynamic range.
Now, I will also admit I kind of enjoy the lo-fi vibe of the images with the sort of "ambient depth" of the large format photograph. But why would I go to the trouble of large format for that? I'd rather shoot one of Lomography's dedicated Instax cameras for instant thrills. This thing is a dog. I've got a couple packs of expired film I need to burn through and then it's going on eBay.
Photographer Ari Jaaksi has a lovingly brutal review of the Lomograflok on his ShootOnFilm YOUTube channel and I couldn't agree more.

I just saw this fence had to take a photo of it....not sure it will have whatever it's intended effect was!
pointless 30 second exposure - the clouds weren't doing anything interesting

Part of my Aldeburgh trip.
Thursday afternoon with my grandson walking around Armitage Park on our way to the Coburg Railroad Bridge that crosses over the McKenzie River. We stopped to shoot each other and the big arrow with our Lumix M4/3 cameras.

This is No. 470 of my abstract series
It is named: “A portable alien device: a pocket-size dimension bender an object that can make peepholes to other alternative future (just kidding it is a pointless pointillistic artwork)”
The media: ballpoint and acrylics on metal
Peace and noise!

Made it into Explore, 28 Sept # 390. Thank you all!

Happy Thanksgiving! Here's a screenshot of some footage I've done over the last couple of days.
I feel like this brickfilm will never get finished. T____T I definitely bit off more than I could chew.
More and more, I've been turning to my cell phone (Samsung S22 Ultra) to shoot pictures, rather than my DSLR. It amazes me how far this technology has advanced. I'd put the image quality of this thing in the same category as my late 2000s or early 2010s era DSLRs!
Running right on schedule, Amtrak 156 (Phase I) heritage locomotive leads the daily #4 Southwest Chief through Leland, Illinois with about 65 miles left to reach Chicago, the final destination for this train.

For Amtrak's 40th anniversary in 2011, four P42DC locomotives received a special version of Phase I through Phase IV paint schemes. From January through April 2011, Amtrak's Beech Grove Shops outside Indianapolis repainted the units and sent them to Chicago, where they were cycled into regular service. This was the second repainted locomotive representing Amtrak’s Phase I paint scheme with the “Pointless arrow.”
I suppose it's not quite the right size, but an iPad is too big for this building.
And also pointless.
Shortest curtailment ever?
Nah, I'm only joking, the driver got his blind system confused, like the usual 'newer' Mobitec blinds.

This bus, 419, transferred to Thames Travel during last year. Now it resides back at Carousel, making the transfer and the repaint somewhat pointless...
This bus had to take the place of a Tempo which broke down in Uxbridge, hence the short working.

Amtrak's so-called "pointless arrow" remains on display at the empty Midway Station as an airplane flies overhead (planespotters, anyone?).
Opened in 1977, Midway was a consolidation of the old Great Northern depot in Minneapolis and Saint Paul Union Depot, a typical Amtrak move in the 1970s to consolidate union stations into Amshacks in the country's biggest cities.
Ironically, Midway would end up being replaced by the newly renovated Union Depot in 2014, and the shack has sat mostly empty ever since.
A poster I designed for a group art show here in Milwaukee. The show is about fake propaganda art.

Police guard the perimeter of the Garzweiler open-cast mine in Germany. Ende Gelände then stormed the mine with over 100 activists.

I don`t like the recent changes to Flickr either, but is a blackout protest by the minority going to pursuade Flickr to go back to the previous version, after they have spent many hours, and no doubt several hundreds and thousands of pounds developing the new engine? No. Not even an army of Golliwogs can change that........
