hii !!! im raine. i post art sometimes and also my thoughts and whatnot.... i jump between art mediums and subjects really a lot so do not except consistency at all! if you see me post about a project once, assume you will not hear about it again for 6 months. also a lot of my ramblings are just for my own sake when i just gotta get something out. i talk in tags a lot :P also i get into bouts of being a #hater sometimes i promise im not evil i just like to be dramatic about pet peeves i have about various things ill probably gather them under a tag at some point
i dont post/reblog any sort of nsfw but i reblog like . sex jokes and artistic nudity whatever that means. whatever. no dni i block whoever i want to. youre almost certainly fine. spam liking/rbing or whatever is totally cool 👍

Coalinga-Mendota Road (October 2023). Basically this, thirty years later. As I've said elsewhere, at this time of the year everything in this landscape shimmers a sort of reddish-golden colour — and not because of the autumn leaves…
Highway 33 at 7th Standard Road (October 2023), one of the centres of my photographic and videographic universe (as anyone who's seen any of my oilfield videos — e.g. Drive-by: Oilfield — will know 😀). The movement and sound and sheer scale of the place always draws me in… (and this old engineer is no great fan of fossil fuels).
Ludlow, California (Old Route 66, October 2023). I remember when this was still recognizably a service station and workshop (albeit derelict, even then).
Ludlow, California, Old Route 66 (October 2023). I've been taking pix of this building for a couple of decades I think; it looked like this seven years ago.
