i need to gush about how incredibly seamless her compositing is in these. Compositing is incredibly hard and time consuming work on a crisp clean digital image. But compositing into what seems to be a scanned photograph that was shot on film? Insane work. The film grain + photo paper texture is matched perfectly as well as the varying softness from being slightly out of focus in different amounts in each image. Each film stock has its own specific tone too some are warmer, others are more purply, or green and they all handle contrast with light and shadow completely differently. There was so much to take into account doing this and i really dont know how she did it other than maybe finding those locations again and shooting with the same film stock on a day with similar lighting. I cannot stress enough that for professional photographers doing complex compositing is mostly relegated to having a fully locked down camera set up in studio under controlled repeatable lighting. Super impressive and a really fantastic photo series truly.

tits mcgrits, that’s an eerie shot.
this website lets you listen to the sounds of all different forests around the world
Reblogging again cause I tried this site last night and if you need background noise to focus this is perfect for that, I was locked the fuck in on a task. And it’s also just gorgeous to listen to
"When Robert Grainier died in his sleep sometime in November of 1968, his life ended as quietly as it had begun. He'd never purchased a firearm or spoken into a telephone. He had no idea who his parents might have been, and he left no heirs behind him. But on that spring day, as he misplaced all sense of up and down, he felt, at last, connected to it all."
- TRAIN DREAMS (2025)
After ten years of dreaming, eight years of government support, six years of fundraising (we needed $50,000,000!), and five years of construction, the Paul Farmer Maternal Center of Excellence at Koidu Government Hospital finally saw its first patients on February 14th.
13 babies were born at the MCOE that day. Several were admitted to the NICU, the first in Sierra Leone's history. The MCOE is already radically transforming the kind of maternal and infant care available in eastern Sierra Leone.
Five thousand babies will be born at the MCOE this year. 5,000 more will be born there next year, and the year after that, and the year after that--hopefully for decades. The healthcare workforce of the entire nation will grow stronger because the MCOE is a teaching hospital training the next generation of Sierra Leonean nurses, midwives, and doctors.
The heroes of this story are those caregivers along with the Ministry of Health, PIH, and the hundreds of skilled laborers who worked together for years to build the hospital despite so many challenges. But if you're supporting this project directly or indirectly (by buying good store socks or soap), thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
The 19th annual Project for Awesome has raised $4.1 million so far, by far the most successful p4a of all time, which has me thinking about the paradox of large communities.
Our little corner of the Internet used to be much bigger--today the average vlogbrothers video gets 150,000 views, whereas in 2015 it got 500,000 views. Nobody's making sketches on SNL about my history of tuberculosis the way they did about The Fault in Our Stars.
And yet, although our community and fanbase are smaller than they were 10 years ago, they're also much more powerful. This is true in terms of fundraising; it's also true in terms of, like, successfully bullying large corporations to lower the price of tuberculosis tests. As a social movement, nerdfighteria is at its peak, even if it's well past its peak as a pop culture phenomenon.
I won't lie: I found being near the center of U.S pop culture very unpleasant. But not only that, it wasn't very effective as a fandom or social movement, precisely because it was so broad. What it's become now--an online community with strong values and a deep, 19-year understanding of itself--is so much cooler and more valuable than when the phenomenon of Hank&John were at their "peak."
The really interesting fandoms and affinity groups are not the biggest ones. In fact, you can be stronger when you're smaller. So find those small online communities. Contribute to them. Make stuff together, and in the process, you can ease the work of being here for yourself and others. I know nerdfighteria has done that for me these last few years.
