Flock Wants to Partner With Consumer Dashcam Company That Takes ‘Trillions of Images’ a Month That dashcam in your car could soon integrate with Flock, the surveillance company providing license plate data to DHS and local police.

New: Flock, the ALPR company in thousands of U.S. communities and which ICE taps into, wants to partner with a firm that sells dashcams to ordinary drivers. Nexar gets "trillions" of images a month from the dashcams. Could turn cars into roaming surveillance devices www.404media.co/flock-wants-...

a panoramic image of a crowd going down escalators to the subway in NYC. It is nighttime and lit by white/magenta fluorescent lights. There is an out of focus yellow hat in the foreground and an ad for Barilla pasta in the background. Two people are attempting to make it up the escalator past the crowd right about the yellow hat and framed by the Barillla ad

I like to use the X-Pan to create a cacophony of information to just overwhelm the viewer. Kind of like my own Where’s Waldo. I was never much for the “cinematic” look that the aspect ratio can give.I decided to stretch my legs and see what that looked like for me. Still finding my legs with it

a security camera shot with harsh diagonal light that overhangs a door and faded sign saying no parking. Black and White image

two security camera mounted next to each other on a corner. The building is painted in a 4 block checker. Black and white image

speaking of that, hot off the presses with some new surveillance camera images

aka I am focusing on Privacy as commodity in everyday life currently and the repercussions of that ( stuff like DHS buying flight data from airlines and sidestepping other avenues like warrants to get the information)

I really wish that the body of work that I am working on was getting less relevant by the day but the opposite seems to be happening

Here's the part of the contract saying the purchase of bulk flight data by DHS is in part to support local and state police www.404media.co/airlines-don...

Here is the part of the contract that tells Customs and Border Protection, the part of DHS this contract is for, to not reveal where the flight data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...

Airlines Don't Want You to Know They Sold Your Flight Data to DHS A contract obtained by 404 Media shows that an airline-owned data broker forbids the feds from revealing it sold them detailed passenger data.

New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...

""As with many other types of sensitive and revealing data, the government seems intent on using data brokers to buy their way around important guardrails and limits.”

Absolutely in love with the energy they captured here. Everyone waiting. So much potential energy

as someone who uses their products daily... yes

I’m into it. I like the idea of treating it like a precious object

a grainy black and white image of an empty warehouse at night lit by one light. There is composited handwriting of the lyrics to Worker's Song by Dropkick Murphys

It's weird looking at old work, but @dropkickmurphys.com reminded me why they are real ones 🫡 Happy to have an excuse to dig this one up from 2012 and I was just starting my arts journey

it makes me think of when high schools would paint up an old car in the rival school's colors and trash it ahead of big football games. Honestly it was really effective in getting everyone together and unified

thanks! It was nice seeing that range in your original image as well. Picked it out almost immediately in the feed 😂

an image of One World Trade as it was being constructed

good example from my archives. This was within date and hand developed (don't remember which developer). Bright sunny day and it was able to keep everything without a pull or much work on the scan. Just happened to have my camera with me that day

I found it to be a really flexible film stock and had a look that was very distinct from the HP5 and Tri-x of the world. It retained rich detail in the extreme ends of its dynamic range unlike anything else I've seen

I miss Neopan 400 more than almost any other discontinued stock and its not even close

A round security camera is in the middle of the frame, hung off an orange brick apartment building. The sky is a deep blue and cloudless.

More expired Portra 160 NC. I am still mystified by the colors I got out of this old pro pack. But this was the last roll I had left

These have been so nice to see coming up on the timeline in between everything else 🙌

A photograph of a private security camera on the side of a building. The frame is almost evenly bisected vertically with a green distressed wall on the left and red distressed wall on the right. The light is quite directional and warm.

Shooting through some old Portra 160 I’ve been hanging on to and the colors are just absolutely wild. No idea how this happened because I’ve never had 160 come out quite like this(sharing the scan but also got roughly this in the darkroom)

My next thought would be a little crack in the curtain somewhere. Tracking down light leaks is such a pain

That’s annoying! Is it when the camera sits on the frame for a while? I started with just gaff taping the film window. I tried to replace as little foam as possible, and it’s mostly worked. Old foam just crumbles everywhere. I custom cut all the foam I did replace

Testing out the light leak fixes on I did on a Leica R4 I was given years ago as a paperweight.
