Try checking possible mutations of the call or accession numbers? I often found items miss-shelved with the last two digits swapped

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

Not my own, and not for any quality use, but when I'm looking through negs in others' archives I'll invert my screen and take photos that way just to have a record of what's there.

All this talk of the supposed benefits of AI for drug research, writing, art, music, and more. But with reports suggesting $1.5 trillion or more of investment in AI in the coming years, imagine directly investing a trillion dollars in medical research, writers, artists and musicians.

🌱🧄It’s here! My 6th annual Calendar Tea Towel has just launched for pre-order for this 2026 design! 🧄🌱 www.hannakin.com.au

a photo of Hannakin’s 2026 tea towel calendar design which has a dark background and is covered in little rosy-cheeked anthropomorphic garlic characters with bodies and legs but no arms and a garlic bulb for a head gathered around the calendar months along with green wibbly sprouts and sparkles all about. The tea towel has been cut out and sits on a green background.

🧵Spotted in a Library in Aotearoa New Zealand: A softly smiling man (20s?) is wandering around the shelves with a tiny new human snug against his chest in a sling. He's kissing the top of her head, tilting himself this way and that so she can see ALL the books she'll one day be able to read. (1)

Expired b&w is usually more forgiving than expired colour negative film. If it's been stored well you can probably get away with shooting it at 100. If you're not sure, overexpose it by a stop?

Don’t change your subject headings. There is no library jail. Keep using the real names not these fake ones. Obeying in advance is worse than those doing the change because when you obey with soenthing that is clearly wrong you are putting false information into official “fact” places.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

On May 10, 1933, Nazis burned the library of The Institute for Sexual Science. The Institute was founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. Its community clinic pioneered healthcare for queer, trans, & intersex people. The Institute was targeted & attacked as part of a Nazi government censorship program.

A soft sculpture I made for the annual Small Works show at Beinart Gallery a couple of years ago. I’m currently working on a larger collection of pieces in this theme/style (slightly overwhelmed by the open ended possibilities, but it should be fun… 😬)

a handmade felt soft sculpture doll sitting on a raw wood slice on a white background. The doll has a mossy green colour with an onion shaped head and squat seated body with two arms and two legs and is covered in hand sewn felt mushrooms in orange, mustard and cream, green leaves, flowers, and tufted mossy areas made using thread and embellished with seed beads. The character’s eyes look sleepy and it looks like it is being overtaken and encompassed by the forest on all sides.

Mmm, that is hard to know, and I don't know if I have any good insights to offer in that regard I'm afraid 😕

Allisterm @allisterm.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Maybe we should lean into engaging with other photographers. If they're looking for inspiration, find those who mutually inspire you. Put on group shows. Start crit circles. Build community. If it doesn't work, you still have community. But perhaps I'm answering a different question to yours though.

Allisterm @allisterm.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Agreed. Social media offers little in the way of deep connection that photography wants, because it's so encouraged to move on quickly so they can show more ads. Remember the goal of soc. med. companies isn't to show your work to the audience that wants to see it.

Robert Hudson and Shannon Woodcock's "Self-Determined First Nations Museums and Colonial Contestation: The Keeping Place" has also been on my reading pile for some months now, but seems great when I briefly dip into it.
