Feed me wierd things (xiii)

[hirez]

Lomography.

Features: people, places, things and subjects who'll like as not complain. Which would be a shame, I think. Mostly.

Why are you using "for i in `ls`" rather than "for i in *"?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

In case I need to narrow the image specification.

Unless "for i in r*.jpg" will work...

Very fine. One learns something new daily. Ta.

greycat managed to beat the Bash Pitfalls and #bash FAQ into me sufficiently that they're always my first point of reference when writing even one-liners.

Ah Spon End!

There are several more pictures from yon wedding. Would you like them put somewhere useful?

[grega.livejournal.com]

If you could please. Chris has been collecting and collating them and with permission puting them up at her fotopic site.

Sure. You want the mongo-sized scans to crop & scale yourselves, or should I just shrink 'em to 50%? (that's the size they end up as on libeljournal.com)

I could have sworn for a moment that that tank was called Willie Rushden.

If you can't count the Rollrights, then you sureley can't whip 'em into shape.

Nice pictures.

I'm especially keen on the juxtaposition of the tank with the intent photographer and the amorous couple.

Beautiful. Should give that lomo lark a go. I still have 6 polaroid films that are 5 years out of date to play with.

- The dude sitting on the station bench does not look happy.

- Is the shirtless dude at the festival trying to entice ladies with his big bottle of ale/beer or is it a bottle of soda?

- I really like the campfire scene, especially with the cammo legs.

- I love the expression on the woman's face at the table behind your friends. She looks utterly bewildered with her face in her hands.

- I have several photographs of brightly colored fire hydrants (in a rainbow of colors) juxtaposed against odd scenes too. I love fire hydrant photos! (My favorite is one that I have of a bright blue hydrant against a dry and colorless grass field on the Hanford Nuclear Site.)

Indeed he doesn't. That accidentally turned into a bit of a theme with the photos that came out best. There's the bloke (a complete stranger) staring at me from the middle of the Whitby crowd, Pete -bat in his mirror shades on the boat, that woman in the caff... All by lucky accident.

Shirtless chap is trying to persuade the nice WKD promotion girls to give him a hat, but you could only get one if you'd a bottle of their foul brew in your hand already. It has an oddly 70s/80s festival feel to it.

Ooo! Nuke pics! Are they online? (The train-thing is a nuclear support carriage)

[jendama.livejournal.com]

I thought I recognized the train thing but was not 100% sure. They have similar looking ones here in the U.S.

All my nuke pix are film and paper, as they pre-date common digital camera usage. Some of them may be worth scanning, especially the billboard ones where they use images of children in fields of flowers to soothe people's worries about the safety of nuclear power. (One day in '93 I spent a long afternoon at the Hanford Reservation, their visitor center, and the adjacent sites, taking pictures here and there and alongside the roadway where you're not supposed to stop, etc.)

I have a new lomo cam, made by an entirely different company. It leaves longer gaps between each image so the results ought to be quite interesting. I trialled it last week and am waiting to get the results back. Only 50p too!!!

Coo-er. What's it called?

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

[snork] Thanks for that one of me sweet-snaffling! You're right, that should become an icon.

Personal favourites include the tube station, the lifeguard seat, sexbat at work, Whitby sea-walls, and the auld house. Which old place is it?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Glad to be of service.

That's Lacock Abbey. A(n) NT property well worth the visit. As is the rest of Lacock.

Ta!
