Currently a little quiet here on Bluesky, trying to create a working framework for hauntology in photography, through an ongoing research project at Central Saint Martins. But expect updates as time passes.

Power supply capacitors are like the red wheelbarrow, basically.

Oh, I know.

I don't suppose any of my extended hauntology family have a spare copy of "Horrifying Children: Hauntology and the Legacy of Children’s Television" knocking around?

Just in case anyone searches for Sarah K Marr, or Sarah Marr, or "oh, you know, that one who posted the thing about the Owl Service, yes, that one, and the Parker 25 pen thing, that's right, and the nuclear war game at school, uh-huh, no I don't know why either", I'm leaving this here.

Time to give social media another chance.

If anyone's looking for a new mechanical keyboard I can recommend 'The Keyboard Company'. They were really helpful before I bought my Keychron K2 Pro: verified the key and backlight colours, double-checked I wanted a US layout, etc. Delivery was quick, too. www.keyboardco.com

Your occasional reminder that there's an awful lot of information hiding away in those RAW files you're shooting. (Because you're shooting RAW, right? Right?) — #photography #fujifilm #xpro #lightroom #barcelona #cemetery #mausoleum

Have to hand it to Adobe, the new 'Denoise' feature in Lightroom is a gamechanger for Fujifilm RAF files. Right is my original shot with post-processing. Left is the denoised version (denoise at 30% – the default 50% seems too high to me – and I added touch more clarity and sharpening, too).

Two pictures of part of a church roof. The one on the left shows far less noise, clearer details and more vibrant colours than the one on the right.

Tuesday morning charity shop find. Repro on canvas, bit beaten up, but affordable. #photography

By way of a 'hello' to Bluesky here's a moody photograph of Versailles. (Apologies for the copious metadata information: I'm just learning to use darktable and haven't set up any proper watermarking yet.)

A stone pedestal beneath a statue of a person on a rearing horse, amid low, rising flames. The person is in Romanesque attire and facing away from the camera. Beyond is a lake and, in the distance, the buildings of Versailles.
