Why hello, new guy!

love this! I used it here: http://23ae.com/2012/02/demons-are-everywhere-now/ - hope that's cool :)

is that actually a person in the photograph? Or was that superimposed later? I like how it looks like you can see through his eye

Are these okay to modify? Ya'll are pretty familiar with the type of stuff I do by this point.

We're immersed in time.

So we rarely notice it or think about it. It's a forbidden topic -- the ellipses following a euphemism. We pretend that we're not drowning in time. We just doggy paddle down the mysterious river.

Some photographs remind you. They show you a moment that has passed. A snowflake that has melted into a drop of water, refracting the light into a spectrum. The colors of buildings. The costumes of the actors. The shape of a car. The fonts on a sign. You don't have to go back very far before everything starts looking foreign.

If you were to travel through time, even if you remained in the same city, you would be a foreigner. Sometimes that thought makes me very lonely. We have to face the mystery alone.

The faces in the photograph look at you with knowing eyes.



But they don't know, you know.

Their mystery has melted. My mystery is now. I am writing it as I'm solving it. Mystery novelists say you should start with the ending and then work backwards. So I take a mental snapshot of the future. I'm looking at the fonts, the shapes of cars, the spectrum of color hidden in the white light. When you look at a photograph of the future, does it make you nostalgic for the present?

Let's take a moment to drink it in and reflect.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

My Horrible Tucson stuff should be up tonight.

Includes confirmed hipster sitings, Roger in a flatcap, and various bits of awful in the legal district...To include the storefront that USED to be The Grill; the loss of which pains me greatly.

I can probably make these thumbnails or links if it's too much of an image wall.

Loaded fine for me, they're all no bigger than ~100k. I dunno if we got people still on terribly slow connections?

(and the ones on smartphones with limited data should be using Opera Mobile/Mini with Opera Turbo anyhow--compresses your bandwidth reduces image quality and save quite a bit of bytes)
