In 1964-65, Pop artist James Rosenquist painted an 86-foot-long depiction of the F-111, one of newest fighter jets at the time, interspersing it with consumer imagery to comment on the military-industrial complex. Now on view at MoMA; might be a good time to revisit it www.moma.org/collection/w...

New: Flock, the ALPR company in thousands of U.S. communities and which ICE taps into, wants to partner with a firm that sells dashcams to ordinary drivers. Nexar gets "trillions" of images a month from the dashcams. Could turn cars into roaming surveillance devices www.404media.co/flock-wants-...

That dashcam in your car could soon integrate with Flock, the surveillance company providing license plate data to DHS and local police.

I like to use the X-Pan to create a cacophony of information to just overwhelm the viewer. Kind of like my own Where’s Waldo. I was never much for the “cinematic” look that the aspect ratio can give.I decided to stretch my legs and see what that looked like for me. Still finding my legs with it
a panoramic image of a crowd going down escalators to the subway in NYC. It is nighttime and lit by white/magenta fluorescent lights. There is an out of focus yellow hat in the foreground and an ad for Barilla pasta in the background. Two people are attempting to make it up the escalator past the crowd right about the yellow hat and framed by the Barillla ad

New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...

More expired Portra 160 NC. I am still mystified by the colors I got out of this old pro pack. But this was the last roll I had left
A round security camera is in the middle of the frame, hung off an orange brick apartment building. The sky is a deep blue and cloudless.

Shooting through some old Portra 160 I’ve been hanging on to and the colors are just absolutely wild. No idea how this happened because I’ve never had 160 come out quite like this(sharing the scan but also got roughly this in the darkroom)
A photograph of a private security camera on the side of a building. The frame is almost evenly bisected vertically with a green distressed wall on the left and red distressed wall on the right. The light is quite directional and warm.

Finally watched Adam Curtis' "Century Of Self" this week and it helped me understand our current political moment a bit more. According to Curtis, the rise of mass marketing in the 1900s changed the "citizen" into a "consumer". And I believe a similar shift is happening again. Short thread...

Trans kids are not a bargaining chip. Being trans isn’t a culture war. Not giving an inch in my support for trans and nonbinary people of all ages to live freely and openly, and neither should you. Gender is what we make of it, and that’s what they’re afraid of.

It’s been really fun re-learning how to work with Polaroids and instant photography in general. It still has a sort of magic to it I haven’t seen in another photographic medium.
A Polaroid image labeled “12/11 Sisson 24” with a blue vase and dead flowers depicted with a pastel color tone as well as green leaves poking in from the right of the frame on a white background.

I keep thinking about the Gagosian Jeff Wall show currently up in NYC. It started as a few posts but now I have maybe 2k words on it. But seriously if you can, go see the images in person before the show closes because the press images do not do justice to the show
