Holy shit this thing has absolutely gone way further than I could have imagined, thanks everyone who took the time to wander my poorly constructed gmod halls lmao

I think this was once a bose store, the lone light illuminating some dishevelled shelving at the far end of the room on the right of the frame feels very ominous.

A very empty area in the mall, a green exit sign visible in front of a double door shrouded in shadow

A former massage place I believe, also closed now. The stark shadows from the honeycomb shelves are particularly interesting on the main pillar in the room. A wall at an odd angle starts and continues off the left side of the frame. Only one light is on.

A very empty looking mall AMC snack counter and entryway

Who wants more mall shots? Closed units are always fun to take photos of, these are all at great lakes crossing

YouTube video by Dylan Packard VHS GRUNGE

For some reason youtube reminded me of this vid, holy shit I forgot about this one lmao

I do remember now that trying to timestretch that damn VHS raw video was a pain in the ass 😂

Holy fuck I just checked the description, it was also all recorded down on an svhs alesis adat deck what a nerd 😭

Well shit, just looked down and noticed a big ole blood stain on the back of some vinyl. Guess my arm got scratched to shit by a pin whoops.

God I fuckin hate pins and I hate vinyl more

Why thanka ya 😁

I'm running out of dying/dead malls local to me cause they're all getting torn down, I dunno how much longer I'm gonna get vaguely ominous liminal shots 😭

A shot directly to the rear of a now closed tj maxx, dimly illuminated by emergency ceiling lighting

The same as before, angled to the left to show a putrid green florescent glow through an exit door

Same as before but to the right, showing the far wall of the store

Had my rollei with me headed to a half-alive mall while on a trip, found this closed anchor store with just the security grating so I stuck my lens in between the slats and shot, damn they're spooky wtf

Forgot to upload these whoops, here's some of those 4x5 shots on 80s plus-x. I think it's some wollensak wide-ish tessar on my speed graphic for these ones

80s expired plus-x straight out the tank, now just gotta finish scanning hell yeah

An HTPC that doubles as a low energy media/file server is like literally the top of my list of things to do before the end of the year lmao

Its insane how much worse the web has gotten and how fast it's done it

I was gonna post with "going to lablow my brains out" but reeled it in

I definitely get that dev got interrupted by the pandemic and all but holy shit, the gap from new leaf to horizons time-wise and then abandoning it like a year after launch still makes me sad 😭

HOLY FUCKIN SHIT ABSOLUTELY PERFECT 👌🤌

A four panel comic originally made by falseknees, edited by me. A junco bird sits on a tree branch singing “ILILILILILILI” in the first panel. In the second panel, the bird keeps signing but a large speech bubble with a spectrograph image depicting a simple drawing of a bird interrupts the junco. In the next panel, a crow is nearby shouting out a speech bubble with a spectrograph image depicting a simple bird. In the last panel the junco has an annoyed look on its face while the crow keeps shouting.

I felt the need to do this edit (please watch @bennjordan.bsky.social’s latest video)

Is it bad that my maps are basically a means to force everyone to listen to my really weird ambient projects like hollow 😂

I'm still very proud of that album, fuckin tracklist is a poem, very haunting but beautiful, and 100% improvised on tape! There's even a break when I had to flip the tape!

YouTube video by Dylan Packard gm_indoorspaces - music visualizer

Oh I forgot to share this whoops, I've been enjoying making these little "visualizers" for music I've shoved into the gmod maps I make. Finally finished this one for indoorspaces!

I don't know if liminal music is a thing, but this probably gets part of the way there lmao

The ride building for gemini and it's exit line

The other end of the show building with those distinctive colors, the track for gemini is also seen on the right

Gorgeous loop and inline roll from raptor

The gondolas shortly before they were shut down due to high winds

Slightly old shots from our little trip to cedar point, finally scanned and cleaned lol

Holy shit I didn't know how fast this dryer could spin, I think that belt had been slipping for a verrrrry long time

Big D hell yeah

Now get the fuckin VCs and mortgage twats out and actually reinstate the trolley from Pontiac to downtown 👀

Welp yesterday the belt on my dryer snapped, 45 bucks and a new belt later and it seems to be working fine!

Didn't see many decent vids about the repair (like good camera angles and shit) so maybe I'll have to pop the thing open and do one of my own... 👀😂

The last moment of the sun being above the horizon, projected and bent through much cloud cover. Beautiful pinks, blues, oranges and purples visible over the lake

A pic of my beautiful wife on the beach in front of a nice pastel blue hour sunset

Did some creative editing to maintain shadow detail on the lighthouse and also increase contrast on the skies. A shot of the Frankfort lighthouse with a large container ship out on the horizon, some stunning clouds with sunset colors behind them are also visible

The moment after the sun had set, gorgeous blue clouds and pink/orange sunset vibes

Have a few pleasant sunset/blue-hour pics from Frankfort. Don't get out much for trips but doing my wife's bday every summer up there is so much fun. And cheap!

The big fucker in question, an oversized (and very heavy) couch redone in green velour. Velour is also very slippery and is not fun to try to grab onto desperately while your grip strength is failing

Owie may have fucked my dominant arm and hand up the other day delivering this big fuckin couch. Entryway had basically no clearance, stair banister directly ahead of the door and nowhere to go. Couch weighed a good 2-300 lbs too, ended up holding it over my head. Oyyy ouch

My wife with a horrific mask we found at this antique place

Some very attractive fiestaware tea pots, why do they have to be so toxic they're gorgeous 😭😭😭

Cute little chromedome diner next to the antique place

Three quick frames from a little cabin trip, went antiquing with the wife and found some... fun stuff lmao

I remember having to go to some tech conference for work where I saw epic was doing a talk, and literally the whole thing was selling you on metaverse shit, NFT garbage, and generative AI for mass producing garbage-looking people. God I hate Tim so so much.

A shot from across the street of the current at&t building, specifically the older original unit in the middle. Note the ornamentation with limestone carved bell designs on the windows.

I've wanted to do a little photo project at some point regarding former ma' bell locations I find along my travels, here's a shot from traverse city of what appears to be an old bell building

A very orange-cast sculpture of a woman with a basket in her right arm, looking at her left hand held in front of her. Very moody

Incredibly detailed marble carvings of a man and woman dancing, the hair detail and draped fabric look almost real

A relief sculpture in a golden frame, seemingly depicting two figures aiding a third who is reclining, possibly sick or injured

Good and blue clock resembling a Faberge egg in a way, royal blue with brilliant gilded accents.

Went to the DIA with @maddiezu.bsky.social and took my little contax IIa along with some pushed ektachrome. Slide hits different in the gallery lmao

He's a quirky little dude and I love his blue ass 😂

I didn't even know these models had anything but the normal print face. Imagine my shock when I took a little look at the typebars and I'm like "holy shit that ain't normal oh man"

The underwood 315 in question sitting on my passenger seat after sealing the deal It's a pleasant robins-egg-but-bluer accents with a light cream body and a bright red tab button

Me working on fixing the carriage ratchet, the spring had popped off the arm that actually latches the ratchet so it would just hang limp and cause the carriage to move freely back and forth The 315 has its shell removed and is propped up on its ass so I can access the mechanism underneath and in between the carriage cradle and the typebar mechanism My wife can be seen in the background cross-stitching lmao

The 315 reassembled and the body shell cleaned, fully working!

The funny script type this one has, man for 20 bones this thing was a steal holy shit

a tragic tale of no self control and what 20 bucks gets you lmao

also did some light cleaning and got the carriage ratchet fixed with 0 instructions so I'm pretty pleased

also also it has a funky script font helllll yeah
