whoever’s in charge of april needs to be fired
Rain pours heavily outside a window, with water droplets streaming down the glass. Beyond the wet windowpane, a wrought iron patio chair and table are visible on a balcony, blurred by the rain. The atmosphere is grey and misty, evoking a calm, melancholic mood.

Something’s brewing.

Turks rising against autocracy. Americans waking up post-Trump. Slovaks marching. Serbians protesting.

Governments got lazy in their greed.
Now, people are remembering their power.
A massive nighttime protest fills Saraçhane Square in Istanbul, Turkey. Thousands of people gather in front of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality building, which is lit up and draped with large Turkish flags and images of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and other political figures. The crowd holds banners and flags, creating a dense sea of people under city lights, symbolizing a powerful public demonstration.

good night 😴

little fog makes a city look a lot different than it is.

#photography
A dark night scene with a faintly visible skyline dominated by tall apartment buildings. One building stands out with a glowing orange vertical light pattern running down its facade, contrasting sharply against the surrounding muted tones. The other buildings have scattered, colorful window lights, adding subtle vibrancy. A light mist hovers near the ground, illuminated by soft streetlights, creating a calm and slightly eerie atmosphere.

took these shots wandering around—kinda calming to look at, right?

Wooden pole with cable: “wooden utility pole against leafless branches, a coil of black cable hanging by its side, all set against a bright turquoise sky.” Workers behind a wall: “a low concrete wall in front, leafless trees and evergreens behind it, and a few workers quietly handling materials in the shaded background.” “looking through a worn teal fence at a narrow, shaded space where a dried plant clings to a pale wall, softly lit by late afternoon sun.” Green field and trees: “a patch of green grass dotted with leafless trees, darker evergreens beyond, and a pale blue sky overhead—quiet, natural scene.”

sense of something’s been waiting here all along.

i knew this would be a nice one when I first took it.

a beige wall with a single window framed in white, the window protected by ornate black metal bars and a thin lace curtain behind it. below, on dry, uneven ground, two chairs: one is a turquoise office chair, faded and torn, the other a simple metal chair with a white seat. both cast long shadows in the warm sunlight. it feels quiet, almost like a still from a slow afternoon scene, hinting at stories untold.

noisy gradients

i was playing around with my shutter speed and iso. my goal was to get the middle colors, but at some point, I guess I messed up the iso.

but i f'in loved it.

image presents a gradient of dark blue to vibrant electric blue. The gradient transitions vertically, starting with near-black at the top and blending into a rich, vivid blue at the bottom. Like the first, the grainy texture gives it a tactile, experimental quality, reminiscent of digital noise or film grain. This evokes a nighttime, atmospheric vibe with a calm yet futuristic tone. image features a gradient blend of deep purple and magenta tones. The transition is smooth yet dramatic, creating a cosmic or otherworldly atmosphere. The grainy texture enhances its experimental nature, giving it a retro-digital aesthetic that feels both analog and modern. The diagonal composition of the gradient adds dynamic movement to the visual.

at first, I loved this design, but now I’m kinda over it.

time for a redesign!

thinking of more motion, more personality, and adding the photography/hobby part.

no idea when I’ll get to it, but putting it on my wishlist now.

strapped a phone to my t-shirt and plugged it into chatgpt’s advanced voice feature.

now I’ve got a digital co-pilot seeing what I see in real-time.

fun experiment so far.

note: using a horizontal view delivers a far better experience.

A white VR headset rests on a fabric-upholstered couch in a dimly lit room. The warm, ambient lighting softly illuminates the headset, creating a cozy and introspective atmosphere. The backdrop features heavy curtains, adding depth and a sense of privacy to the scene. The setup evokes a feeling of anticipation, as if preparing for an immersive virtual reality experience.

It’s wild how you can freeze a moment exactly as you see it—and then tweak it in edits to match how you felt it.

Learning as I go.

A desolate road stretching into the horizon, lined with evenly spaced streetlights and power lines. Bushes and small trees frame the road, while the sky above is pale and hazy, creating a sense of quiet and emptiness. A solitary traffic sign points right, adding a subtle focal point to the scene. A black propeller aircraft parked on a wide, empty tarmac under an overcast sky. Tall, weathered light poles tower over the scene, emphasizing the vastness of the space. The muted tones of the image evoke a calm, industrial atmosphere.

A geometric architectural ceiling featuring a grid of square skylights, each framed by sharp, clean lines. The contrasting light from the skylights against the dark, shadowy surroundings creates a striking pattern of symmetry and depth. The perspective emphasizes the modern, minimalist design and adds a sense of abstraction to the image.

A framed picture of a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds positioned against a vibrant orange wall. The frame’s black border contrasts sharply with the warm-toned fence, creating a striking visual effect. The silhouette of rooftops and structures adds a subtle architectural element to the scene in the lower part of the image within the frame.

A snowy night in Ankara 🌃❄️

#photography
A nighttime cityscape featuring a brightly lit cylindrical building with a glowing yellow dome at its top. The view is framed by bare tree branches, creating a dramatic effect against the dark sky. A warm streetlamp casts an orange glow on nearby trees and the quiet urban street below. A dark, rain-soaked street illuminated by faint, yellow streetlights. The wet pavement reflects the light, creating a moody and atmospheric scene. Parked cars line the sides of the street, and leafless trees enhance the somber vibe of the setting. A snowy urban setting featuring an ornate street clock with a glowing blue face. Snow is falling heavily, blurring the background of softly lit streets and creating a magical, wintry ambiance. The clock stands amidst snow-covered shrubbery, illuminated by nearby streetlights. A close-up of a cocktail in a textured glass, placed on a table under warm, soft lighting. The drink, pale yellow with a slice of fruit floating on top, exudes an inviting warmth. In the background, a metallic lamp adds a cozy, intimate touch to the composition.
