Another rainy day, i like how the umbrella contrasts the grey sky, and the raindrops, making it a bit more fun. #photography

Took this through the shutters of a mall before it opened, I think it looks really nice. #photography

Laughter. Those two seemed to be happy at least :) street photography. #photography

Saw this person on the riverbank (looking tiny in this picture), no idea what they were doing but the scene looked really nice. #photography

Ferry to solitude. #photography

I was talking to a friend i havent seen since 2010. It was weird, we spoke about what we did back then and concluded that in some ways, very little had changed. The world has become more dystopian and polarised, but culture, technology, music, fashion, have barely moved. If you imagine having this conversation in 1995, and going back 15 years to 1980, everything was completely different, there's a huge cultural and technical change between those years. So what happened? Why have we stagnated? What was previously exciting change has become dull, and new advances in tech just feel designed to ensnare and surveil you evermore. Its sad really.

I want to love nostr, I was f to love primal, but so often I come on here and its just froze, or won't update, or posts just vanish, or the comments wont load. Any advice to help?

Gm nostr, thank you all so much for the love on my recent post about having kids, much appreciated :)

Dont be afraid to have children. They change your life, give it meaning and make it worth waking up in the morning. It's the greatest thing you'll ever do. So many people now wait till its too late, or think I'll "cramp my lifestyle", but the truth is, having kids surpasses every other thing you think gives your life value. Do it, you'll love it :)

What's your opinions on substack? Is it a useful thing for a photographer (me lol)

The ghost of memories. What is left behind as people pass through spaces, once busy, now quiet. Memories fade like a dream. #photography

I went out today intending to take some street photography pictures documenting "the decline of civilisation" where I live. My rule was going to be, no poor porn, no pictures that are obviously political, just pictures showing how badly things are deteriorating. My camera never even made it out my bag. Every picture would have been poor porn or political. At 12am during a weekday, the place was full of drunks, junkies, suspicious looking creeps, beggars and apparently disabled people (with walking sticks or mobility scooters). Half the shops were boarded up and the rest were a mix of shops for specific ethnicities (Indian, polish etc), vape shops, Turkish hairdressers or Chinese nail bars. All the classic stores and cool niche shops are gone. I also felt very threatened, and I'm not exactly a timid person, but there was a horrible atmosphere about the place. The crumbling buildings, failing infrastructure, dirt, litter, lack of investment and cheap pointless "art installations" didn't come close to comparing to the wasted state of the people. Any pictures i took would have been sad and depressing, and I didn't want that, I was hoping to show a sort of "people thriving in the face of adversity" feel, but no, it would just have been people deteriorating in the face of abandonment. I havent given up, but next time I'll go to more of a tourist place, or business area, where I won't feel I'm about to get mugged and, hopefully, I can tell the story without it being a completely soul crushing horror.

Almost looks like pyramids #photography
