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.
Thinking about the Holmes story where a blind girl goes to him and is like "My fiancé is missing and he kept telling me the week leading up to his disappearance that he would always love me and come back for me,were anything to happen so I think he knew he was in trouble and I love him so much and I'm going to wait for him but I'd like to find him faster,ya know?" And Holmes figures out that it was this girl's parents to scam her out of money she was owed from an estate which she gave to them because she was still living at home,which she wouldn't be if she ever married,so her step father PRETENDED TO DATE HER for MONTHS to keep her from ever getting engaged to a real person and when Holmes finds out he confronts this man and this man is like "Well,you caught me! But it wasn't illegal:) so:)" and Holmes is like "No,but it was sickening and cruel and if she had a brother or good male friend he should post you up and whip you but she doesn't." And the man is like "No,she doesn't." And does the Victorian version of sticking his tongue out and Holmes is like "Well,I guess I'll do then!" And HE PULLS OUT HIS HUNTING WHIP.
posting spotify links and thinking to myself it's a shame that nobody will click on this because it's the greatest song ever recorded. but i don't click on anybody else's spotify links either. my glass house
thinking about how much less funny and charming goncharov would have been if the lore had been shaped after genai took off. like part of the beauty of people making goncharov gifsets and the like was the collage work of finding shots from new hollywood movies that could plausibly have come from the soviet neapolitan mafia film goncharov - it relied on people’s literacy in the history of film! whereas now you would, even with the broad genai taboo on tumblr, have a ton of people just generating “robert de niro playing soviet hitman in 70s movie” instantly at vast scale and it wouldn’t look quite right cause it’s not made out of Real Movie… thinking about how the meme really blew up in 2022 when image generation was getting a lot of attention but still kind of janky and certainly not omnipresent the way it is now. our last pre-slop meme…
does anyone have that seinfeld meme that’s the ‘in 2016 may you have’ one but instead of the original it says like ‘Elaine’s marvel movies, George’s lgbt pfp’ or something along those lines?
i’ve been looking for ages and i literally cannot find it anywhere

Hello
Iam Jiha… Gehad naser Alanqar needs your support for Save my family from the
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞
The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔
Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊
Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

I'll keep this short: Nour's campaign has been stagnating and Tumblr keeps banning her accounts. If you can, please consider donating. She has five young children to care for (one immunocompromised), and many members of her extended family—who were already poor before the war broke out—now rely on this fundraiser to make it through the winter.
This fundraiser is Nour from Gaza, her husband, and their 5 children: Muhammad,… Gz Thrift needs your support for Help Nour's Family Rebuild
Nour's campaign is stagnating again, and she need the funds to help her family survive the winter (warm clothes can cost up to $400 per person). Please share and donate if you're able.
Pre-order will end on December 11, 2024 so get them while they're hot!!
GET STICKERS HERE!!!
100% of funds will be donated to families in Gaza! Check out their fundraisers below, and please consider supporting them!!
Ameera's family: They currently live in North Gaza that has been experiencing dire Israeli-made starvation. Her young kids, youngest of which is 2 years old. She has spoken to me about how she hasn't been able to find anything for her kids to eat, like milk for her baby, and getting funds would really help her afford to feed her family.
Ahmed's and Dina's family: A family with 3 kids and one newborn. Urgently needs funds for medical treatment and essential goods. With winter approaching, these funds become crucial for affording winter clothes.
Rawan's family: $8k urgently needed to help take care of her mother, who needs treatment for a tumor. The funds will also be going to support her family as they await the crossing to open for evacuation.
Alaa's family: She is trying to care for her two very young kids, the younger of which has a skin infection that needs to be treated. She is facing constant bombardment and needs help.
Aya's family: She is helping to take care of 19 family members, including 9 children.
Walid's family: Walid is 3 and has two sisters, Layan (2) and Toleen (6). He is disabled and needs treatment.
Rawan and Yemna's family: two sisters and their father who need access to essential goods to live.
All of these campaigns are equally urgent and I can understand the difficulty in choosing one to donate to, especially if you don't have much to spare.
But it's better to choose one than to let indecision keep you from choosing any.
Also, your one donation won't solve everything (unless you're a millionaire and can spare tens of thousands at a time LOL) so, and I say this in the nicest and most gentle way possible, get over yourself! Pitch in whatever you can spare like the thousands and thousands of people donating to these fundraisers every day, and acknowledge that you can't save the world BY YOURSELF - but with many others acting with you, you can make a difference!
As always, free Palestine and all oppressed peoples of the world!
