i was talking about the bench in the center of the photo, by the way. it was pretty late when i wrote that and i didn't check to see if it cohered. did you see it?
i took some small photographs on this vacation also, as mentioned. it was pretty nice! a tiny camera with barely any controls. olympus pen-ee2. what an object.
first i learned about this camera was from technology connections due to how technology it is. it's a non-electronic camera with automatic exposure. it shoots half-frame, so you get nominally 72 pictures onto a roll of film. this is a great companion for tourism!
there's something about the look of these half-frame photos... maybe just the low resolution jpegs? but they kinda feel like old old digicam photos to me? particularly in shots with bright highlights. i donno.
should i learn to let pictures speak for themselves instead of saying 'something about this one..........' over and over again? i donno.
oh, and another feature of the vacation i hadn't told you about - i wasn't just in helsinki, i went to oulu as well.
and another...? it's not so important.
okay but here. the above photos i pried loose from their twins because they didn't make a great match. here's what my scanner thinks of the matter.
because they're half the size of a regular exposure on 35mm, my scanner (and many others) always considers two of them as forming one full frame photo.
i'd heard somebody (don't recall who!) suggest presenting them as diptychs that way. i liked that idea. the first few i didn't rock with like that, but here's the ones i think it works for.
you may notice that they're pretty far apart and also rotated any which way because of the way it is. if you have javascript on you should have a button in your lower right corner that spins them around and thusly resolves those matters.
"works on my machine!"
or you could get on your phone and spin that around or something?
beyond that i actually don't have much of anything to say about these. no particular order or thought. no principles or anything to give them structure. just the way the dice fell.
well okay that's that. hope you had fun(?)! until next time(?)!
