Ypsilanti, MI 9/6/25 #Photography #Stunday
First goldenhour photo bikeback ranging since '23, heard chill Deathcabbish, Shoegazely jams echo from a backyard. It's like moonwalking, the EVA has a mission to document the life of Earth. Social Anxiety be damned, there's oxygen in this suit.

Musicians playing a jam in a backyard. 23mm nd2 f2.8 1/80s iso1600/ Foreground layer of mushroom xmas light string. odd 'happy accident' of in-focus reflected foliage on a chromed mushroom xmas ornament in foreground.

The media of 16 years ago ≠ the media of today
Pretty sure this is a story of how far news has fallen, how little direct reporting they do anymore, rather than a left/right wing split. And also how many more seasons of high political mobilization have come and gone in the 2010s than the 2000s

There is an ongoing debate about bioessentialism and if/how species stat bonuses etc or innately evil beings like demons are objectionable content; and some folks find these dialogues "political."
It seems germane to the hobby w/o astroturfing to me

“At a time when we are surrounded by fakes and fabrications, Sora seems precisely designed to further erode the idea of objective truth. It is a jackhammer that demolishes the barrier between the real and the unreal,” Bobbie Johnson writes.

That would require committed cadre to pull from for agent-provocateurs. They literally do not have any blackshirts and we would do well to take note

I think those worries/stormcrows are largely a product of the clickbait industrial complex. People with very little analytical ability can imagine the absolute worst and slap it on a video title to get views

I documented #Nokings Ypsilanti and an unrelated, contemporaneous Street-Taking March of unknown origin 👀. The energy went from exhausted to exuberant as obedience to yellow-vests fell away into community ownership of the street. #Photography #fucktrump

Crowd Marching. Details kept scarce to make it harder for feds

Up-shot of the banner marchers on US-12. Fill flash

A discarded sign in an alleyway midway through the scheduled 'No Kings' event.

Looking down at the press of crowd near the beginning of the event; marshals policed everyone onto the sidewalks and the crowd was strung out for 40 minutes just trickling out of Riverside park.

I learned recently from Developing Tank of Stanley Kubrick's first career in photojournalism (late 1940s) for Look magazine, straight out of HS. This body of work, and Look mag more broadly, is cooking inspiration for me this week

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.

Its nice on the outside
I find the collection inside kind of sterile, focused on the trucks above the heritage of praxis or the people
Im my experience Very stale reception from kids unless firetruck special autist focus (in which case it's alright)

Yah know, I read one of these in 2023 about some girl's bipolar boyfriend and it was very very long and full of details about him toking up in the bathtub after getting banged up at a BLM event and....
You have helped me understand the uneasy feel of it was...

Being a gallery of doomerpilled thumbnails on any topic is a grim sign of the kind of person running a YouTube and the level of negativity they will put out to get clicks.

There's a doc filmmaking guy I used to be into amd now every videos is AI Dooomerpilled for the views

Can we credit photographers, please? It’s not just about what’s right, now it’s also about providing the public with an easy way to check for authenticity.
