lighting in the bathroom was nice earlier
a selfie of a white freckled person with faded blue hair swept back away from my face, roots growing wildly, and an orange beard. i'm bathed in a golden glow.

a movie that takes place where i'm from

obviously manchester as a whole, but they filmed in clubs i used to patronise back in the day. i could point to the very place a pal threw up one night.
the poster for 24 Hour Party People, featuring Steve Coogan as Tony Wilson, and the Happy Mondays in the red background.

a photo of a tree branch with lots of berries. due to the colour shift of the film, the sky is orange and the berries are blue. the sun peaks out from behind a leafless tree and its branches. the sky is orange. a photo of holly growing up a wall, with blue berries and orange reflections due to the colour shift of the film. an almost bare set of tree branches against an orange sky, the remaining leaves shining in blue due to the nature of the film.

a photo of an old memorial in the shape of two mining wheels connected on a stand against a cloudy blue sky. the photo is double exposed with a shot of some berries on a bush. a photo of a tall brutalist flat block on a clear sunny day double exposed with a photo of orange leaves on the ground. it looks like the leaves are falling from the sky.

a photo of a square building surrounded by trees and lamp posts, from which a rainbow streaks across the sky. the sky is orange due to the colour shift in the film, and the rainbow is kind of desaturated and colour shifted.

here's the complete set! mostly for when i can afford a new laptop
some sticker sets. the top one is a black and white sticker saying WORLD'S OKAYEST PHOTOGRAPHER next to a self-drawn green frog on a lily pad. there are two silhouettes of the normandy sr-1 and the tempest from mass effect. there's a bunch of mass effect trilogy paragon and renegade stickers next to a beautiful watercolour blue butterfly with the life is strange spiral on it above the word "rewind." the final set is the first one's failsafe icon from she-ra and the princesses of power in rainbow, and the gravity falls question mark weathervane where NSEW is now WHAT.

just lomography showcasing my blurry selfies on their main instagram no biggie (yes biggie this feels amazing)
A screenshot of a blurry mirror selfie of mine on instagram, a camera to my face and smiling, with the text from @lomography: "In this #LomoSapiens series, we would like to spotlight our community members who have continuously shared how they see the world through analogue and experimental photography, along with their favorite Lomographic tools. Our LomoSapien of the week is Cos Coldwater, a.k.a. @coldwater_files, a photographer who turns his daily life into art, using photography as a creative outlet. Cos's Lomographic tool of choice? The #Lomomatic110. When asked what draws him to this tiny camera, Cos shared, “It’s a new camera in my arsenal, and it’s so fun to use! It’s small enough to take everywhere and always on hand for those important fleeting moments. It makes the process of photography truly fun to play around with.” Take a look at some of his best shots taken with the #Lomomatic110 and more over on his LomoHome: https://www.lomography.com/homes/coldwater"

had a wander around the tiny place we find ourselves in (needed supplies, i wasn't abandoning my beloved brave soldier) and yknow what? dalkeith is lovely to look at. lots of really nice buildings, and this one rainbow (though you can find those in other places)
the full arc of a rainbow joins two sunkissed buildings against a dark grey sky.
