Are they edible?
@XYLENE ahem *checks note* If you're brave enough.

There is, indeed, a story in which Frog and Toad spend some time apart because one of them wants to have some alone time :)
I just bought my daughter the Frog and Toad books we don’t have, and they’re supposed to get here tomorrow. So pumped!
Active Surplus was a surplus store in downtown Toronto. They had everything
That looks a lot like Ax-Man surplus in my neighborhood
Ax-Man!!!
@wjcstp yeah, the old weird surplus stores were the best. Our one close in 2015: this was taken on its last evening
Toronto institution, RIP

another lovely selection from wenders’ project on the American southwest.
from the source:
“When the film director Wim Wenders was scouting locations for his 1984 film Paris, Texas, he captured the texture of his subject in a series of fine photographs. Following the success of his film, they were published in a monograph book, Written in the West.
The camera Wenders used was the classy 6×7 Plaubel Makina, the medium format film gathering in all the subtle detail and light of the American Southwest. When he later returned to the subject, near a real town in Texas that is actually called Paris, he used another medium format camera, the Fuji 6×4.5. These new images have now been presented in a second edition of the book called Written in the West, Revisited.”

I shot with a Pentax 6x7 for years - love the format and image quality you get with a bigass negative - and this is a ravishingly lovely portfolio.
@MackReed i’ve always wanted to shoot medium format, just because i’m always jealous of the sheer level of detail. having only ever shot 35mm, i’m always bowled over by how much people get out of those big fuckers.
I wish I liked Wenders' later work more; I like a number of his German movies and I think "Paris, Texas" is a masterpiece, but I don't think I've been particularly moved by anything he's made since like 1993.
Those photos you posted are spectacular, though.
@snarkout “paris, texas” is the first wenders i’ve seen, so i have a lifetime of catching up to do.
@nikkuneko Of his German movies and not counting "Wings of Desire", I particularly like "Alice in the Cities".
@nikkuneko if you’re up for moving film, for what they’re made of and what they used to cost, they’re going cheap.

Kings of the Road is my favorite—recommend.
@snarkout @kafkaesque thanks, i will add those to my list!
@MackReed wow, that is much cheaper than i expected for either. that may be something to pick up down the road!

i don’t know if i’ve ever mentioned it, but i live and die by the post-punk kitchen tofu scramble recipe (TRY IT! https://www.theppk.com/2009...)
i love a good breakfast, and i love scrambled eggs, but this is a nice alternative when i’m not in the mood for them.

@scruss Not with François le Grande there, I'll warrant.
I can't see the difference or understand what is being shown. Looks like an aerosol art hellscape everywhere you turn.
@XYLENE Either end of the Manhattan Bridge bike path.
@MackReed cool. But am I supposed to see something other than an under policed crime scape?
@XYLENE New York "underpoliced," lol
@XYLENE you see what you want, it appears. This is a major bicycle thoroughfare that has seen a lot of tagging. That's it. Not assaults, not murders, just tagging. It ain't what the builders had in mind, nor many citizens, I imagine, but graffiti is in NYC's visual DNA at this point.
I hate DNA.
I'm glad I'm not on your side.
Is this from Spirited Away?

This is such a violation of fire code for multiple reasons.

taking lots of so-so pictures in the sudden warm weather. i need to be better about sorting through them and finding all the ones i like (and/or deleting the junk) before i move them all to cloud storage.

sometimes i think about finding a service to have my photos printed and shipped, because every once in a while people say they like this one or that one. i had one printed for my youngest brother for christmas, which seems to have turned out okay but was just me ordering flickr prints off my own flickr page.

when wenders was scouting locations (and filming) “paris, texas”, he shot a number of locales on a medium format camera. he exhibited these photos around 1986 and then published them as a book, “written in the west”.
i watched “paris, texas” last night, which was a totally-blind buy from the criterion sale last week. I have been fidgety and low on concentration, but the film held my attention with its beautifully-composed frames and rich colors. many of the photo subjects from “written in the west” were well-used in the film.
i may have to track the book down someday. it seems a “revisited” book was published around 2015, with additional photos of similar locales as well (https://www.artbook.com/blog-fea...)
hat tip to @tom who posted another still from this a few months ago and put the collection on my radar.
