Grocery store after midnight, 1979
Powerade was introduced 1990 and did not exist in 1979
grocery store is also a typically american phrase, and there is no powerade in the USA
This just looks like a piggy wiggly store, I was in one two years ago looks dead up like this.
Probly cause it was in a Piggly Wiggly, I took this pic in 2014 fam. Some dickhead recaptioned years ago and i'm still getting dumb notes about it.
It was a nice summer, I hope yours was just as lovely

Thanks stranger, it's almost like you know her or something ✨
Hi I have another question (and sorry if I'm bothering you) but do you have advice to help get inspired to continue or restart with photography? I do b&w film and I love it but I just haven't been shooting since August/September. I don't want to quit photography but I'm kinda in a artist block I guess haha... Anyway thanks for your time!
So since I don’t think I’ve ever answered a question like this before, I’m going to give it a shot. I think that the most important thing about photography is that you as the “artist” are not meant to inspire yourself, at least in my experience and opinion. Examine the difference between a painter and a photographer. A painter takes a blank canvas and creates something from in, while a photographer is given the entire world and most pluck a piece from it as honestly and gently as they possibly can. As someone who takes photos, such a thing as an “artistic block” should not exist, because you are not the one creating what the see. You as the photographer are meant to see the world and capture it in the way you want it to be seen. While this may take some degree of inspired eye and heightened sense of spatial awareness, it is still an artistic medium delegated to us by the world in which we live. It sounds to me like you are trying to get ideas for photos, which is not the purest form of the medium, because again this goes back to the artistic question of creation vs isolation. I think to truly be “inspired” enough to take photos, you have to continually see the world in such a way that it is photograph-able by you. You have to see the way light flows and how people stand and how buildings crowd together and then the camera just becomes an extension of what you see and how you feel, and then you can imbue your photographs with the emotion that you feel when looking at the world because the photograph becomes an honest representation of how you feel about it. The short answer here is to not look for inspiration, but to become inspired by what is around you and capture those things that you find important, because that is what is going to give your photographs meaning and in turn drive you to want to photograph more. To me there is no restart, there is no renewed inspiration, and there is no technical basis of motivation for taking photographs, it’s all about capturing those moments you don’t want to forget. Camera or no camera, you have to change how you see the world, and only then can you foster a passion for the art form, which is truly just a passion for the world around you and a want to preserve it how it was. Thanks for asking, it wasn’t a bother in the slightest, hope this helps. (P.S. I’d suggest starting using color film too, unless you have a specific reason you like B&W, and maybe take a look at some work by the greats such as Stephen Shore, Joel Sternfeld, and the ever-popular William Eggleston, all of their work is extremely important in my opinion. Thanks again.)

What is your blog about? Are these historical photos or from movies?
I took all these pictures, it’s me sharing my work
is there a certain method you use to go about getting such a contrast and pop of color without the look of over saturation? namely in some of your outdoor open landscape photos or the photosets in the grocery store.
This is something I've never really talked about before, so I'll give it a try. First you have to understand the difference between proper metered lighting and feeling out the light. When I was learning to use my first camera (a Canon AE-1 Program), I based the exposure of my photos off of the little numbers that the light meter inside was telling me. The problem was, I was using them incorrectly. Being a beginner, I found it was too confusing to change my aperture setting and I also really like the effect that sharp focus creates in a photo. So, I left my aperture at the widest possible setting and just changed my shutter speed based on the little numbers in the built in light meter. At the time I didn't know what they meant so I just tried to find a nice number that wouldn't flash at me for overexposure in my lightest areas, and flash at me for underexposure in my darkest areas. What I was doing was basically a weird pseudo-adjustment that allowed me to take nicely saturated photos without overexposing. I know now that the numbers in the light meter were telling me which aperture I should be shooting for "proper" textbook exposure, but what it taught me was dope. I realized I could take pictures of anything and always keep my aperture as wide as possible, and I liked how the photos turned out too. Since then I've gotten used to other cameras and light in general and just meter by eye as I take pictures. That being said, I have a few baseline rules I try to live by (for my own photos at least): For 35mm using Kodak Gold 400, A sunny day (that doesn't make you squint when you look at the sky) should be shot at 1.8 aperture and 1/250 shutter speed. The same day should be shot 2-4 compensated exposures faster if using Kodak Portra. For 120mm using Kodak Portra and on the same sunny day, it should be shot at 5.6 aperture at 1/500 shutter speed. I won't elaborate on interior shots, as you'll be able to more freely gauge light after shooting a few rolls with that light level and setup as a baseline. The thing to remember is that "correct" exposures look too nice, so you have to ride that thin line between proper and overexposed in order to really showcase light in different situations. Long story short, I shoot only with the most open apertures possible, using 400 speed film, and simply adjust my shutter speed to what I feel is right for a given situation. It's actually kind of vague trying to describe it because it's technically an incorrect way of exposing, but I personally think it makes photos look sufficiently vibrant without becoming overexposed. Sorry if this is long or too much or too confusing, but the whole way I take photos is weird and confusing unfortunately. Thanks for the ask and again I hope this mostly answers your question. Thanks for the question.

Spring Break 2016 Outtakes
Grocery #16
remember that grocery store pic similar to this one that someone claimed was from like 1970 but blatantly had bottles of Powerade in it
Yeah I do, I took that one too.
Grocery store after midnight, 1979
Powerade was introduced 1990 and did not exist in 1979
sounds like we’ve got illegal time traveling beverages on our hands lads
grocery store after midnight, 1990s but edited to look like the 70s to be “vintage”
Nope, it’s not edited at all, I just took this photo on some expired film and that’s why the colors went all wonky. I also took this in 2014, there are just people here who find it enjoyable to reblog, re-caption, and lie about other people’s work for notes.

Ok, but why did someone edit OP’s post to 1979? The original said 1992.
Dude what. OP is me, and all i said was Grocery #3. I took this picture 2 years ago. Some lame aesthetic shithead removed my caption and re-captioned for notes.
