Following a discussion about secure archiving of photos, here's a reminder that what might seem trivial NOW, can be significant LATER.

A roll of 35mm film shot in 1940, filed and annotated, and never viewed again until I scanned it 84 years later.

I bet his next claim is all the photoessays in Life magazine of polio victims in iron lungs were "crisis actors" or similar bullshit because we didn't have fake news or alternative facts before we had a fake president & his kakistocracy.

“Los Angeles 2025, Real America”

This set of images (link in profile) and accompanying collage is called “Los Angeles 2025, Real America”. It’s the latest entry in a series of photoessays that frames life in the city as an example of the true American experience.

I haven't seen one of Kate Wagner's McMansion photoessays in a while & she hasn't lost a thing. I laughed out loud at most of these captions.

Life for Sale by Yukio Mishima is a slightly obscure piece of Japanese lit I stumbled upon while traveling Japan this summer. Definitely read the Wikipedia entry on the author. Such a bizarre end to his life. #BooksInTranslation #audiobooks #BookSky 💙📚

This will likely be of interest only to air historians of WWII in East Africa and to a few photographers, but I have just put up a page of one roll of my father's photos recording a road trip in Sudan from RAF Fasher to RAF Geneina in 1940.
