medium format film 'scan' (actually a dslr photo of the negative taken with a light box) of a decorated mannequin head. photo taken from below, where the eyes seem to be looking, highlighting the damaged and cracked chin and bright red painted lips, also chipped and damaged. the nose is also chipped. despite it all, the general vibe is defiance and strength.

bright red leaves collect along the front edge of an ornately decorated marble memorial. wind and light have found the same nest: sunlight pools with the red leaves while the rest of the marble is in shadow. the setting sun is mostly blocked by an extra tall tree that's lost half it's leaves. on the far side of the tree silhouette is a pocket of bright sunlight. it's summer there if you can make it before the dark.

reddish brown dead leaves cling to a thin tree, caught in a shaft of late sunlight like the top edges of the multi-family home behind it. the unlit background clouds are featureless and grey-blue photo of a metal pole for traffic lights against a building of dark mirrored glass, warping and reflecting a bright stucco building across the street

bright yellow fall foliage on a single tree dominates a cemetery scene, the ground covered in leaves green leaves obscure the foreground (and a person, whose legs are just visible), with red fall foliage in the background. the ground is dotted with old headstones and fallen leaves

a brick apartment building looks like its blushing: a bright pink red tree in front is losing its leaves looking up at a criss-cross of power lines enmeshing a tree with yellow leaves and bare branches against a background of impossible clouds. street signs dappled in shadows against a bright pink orange background of fall foliage. a black and white "one way" sign pointing left above a deep red "do not enter" sign.

can someone please tell the techbros that modern education IS NOT there to make good WORKERS:

the purpose of education is to make good HUMANS.

why else exist? if the only thing you accomplish in life is a big bank account, then you have utterly failed and you've wasted ur time on the planet.
