smt @smt.rip · 14/08/2026if i arranged the words to accurately describe how this makes me feel they'd be kicking me out of here 040
smt @smt.rip · 07/08/2026as a chronic game modder it's something i've noticed a lot, along with the death of cute & crude ms paint thumbnails for said mods, now you just see seas of the brown sludge 2131
smt @smt.rip · 03/08/2026its fun (and frustrating because its in game resources and time...) to go back to a form of photography thats so manual and easy to fuck up, even in a video game, link for anyone interested: mods.vintagestory.at/collodion 040
smt @smt.rip · 02/08/2026i recently discovered what must be one of the most niche mods for vintage story ever - one that simulates a whole wet plate collodion photography process, from setting up the plates to manually exposing with the camera (leading to the varying exposure/contrast) 4271
smt @smt.rip · 15/07/2026this is the platform where someone found their CDN was just a public bucket where every photo ever shared was stored there & you could just pull them all at any time + the owner threatened that he can pull their age verification/KYC info at any time for 'people who want to harm the platform' lmao 2173
smt @smt.rip · 14/07/2026this is like a chungus reddit meme now but it's still also a genuinely true path to making being on the computer better, sometimes observe also just means log off but it still stands 080
smt @smt.rip · 14/07/2026it's like a cheesy headline from a disaster movie, with wildfires already popping up all over the country and something like almost 3000 people estimated to have died from heat related causes in the heatwaves here this year, it's crazy to just be sitting there witnessing it happening 030
smt @smt.rip · 12/07/2026(..which i think also serves as pretty good accidental commentary on the whole aggressive male street photographer thing but that's another thread's story) Daido was also known to mess with images in print, as well as stressing negatives or printing them after picking them up off of dirty floors 190
smt @smt.rip · 12/07/2026one of his most famous images is 'Stray Dog' (1971), taken outside a large US airbase in Misawa, later seeing it like a self portrait: "I wander around, glare at things, and bark from time to time… Something there is close to how I look at things and to how I probably appear when I’m wandering." 170
smt @smt.rip · 12/07/2026Daidō Moriyama is a Japanese street photographer known for raw and gritty black & white photos taken during the postwar period. Famously he preferred cheap compact cameras & didn't use the viewfinder on the camera, he also tended to care much more about photobooks & prints than the actual photos 2345
smt @smt.rip · 07/07/2026yeah im sure a lot of it legitimately hurts a lot, or like any time someone gets jabbed by the bottom of the shoes too 110

smt @smt.rip · 05/07/2026the images weren't actually seen until an exhibition in 2013 but I still think documenting & telling the story of a city & it's people struggling will always be important, especially before the internet, I believe it was only specific parts of Glasgow but the photos are still unbelievably desolate 161
smt @smt.rip · 05/07/2026Raymond Depardon is a French photographer who was commissioned in 1980 to document post-war, post-thatcher Glasgow, which had around 20% unemployment at the time due to massive industrial collapse plus many other social & economic issues at the time 1191
