How did you take a picture of your camera?! A mirror?

[–] qrstuv@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, I used a mirrorless camera.

And how did you take a picture of them both? Did you borrow a camera?

Strange that no-one asked you how you took that photo; I guess it must be obvious, but I don't grok it.

I used my Kodak!

Wow. I like your 'Lympuses a lot, though my new favorite might be the Kodak.

Anyway, I'll be back next year.

I may not totally understand surrealism, so forgive me if this sounds ignorant, but the episodes you never finished just feel that more organic and strange and... surreal!

I've been reading your stuff all day. Thank you for putting your art up for all to see and experience, it makes my eyes feel all fuzzy in a good way!

One of the initial ideas behind techno-mage was for the audience (you) to construct their own idea about the analognowhere universe from the seemingly disjointed snapshots from the mage's life. In a way, the process of your mind trying to make sense of it is surrealism.

Thank you for the kind words.
