I miss when everything was easy. When the path was clear and it all made sense.
Selfie with a polaroid-style frame and grainy filter. A white girl poses with her hand on her chin. Her hair is light brown and her curls are a bit messy. She's wearing a salmon colored turtleneck sweater and big, round, brown glasses which fade from dark to light top to bottom. She looks just past the camera and doesn't smile.

#dog #mountain #sunset #germany #mountaintop
Sunset on the top of a mountain. The sun is setting through trees on the edge of the hill. Behind it are a few big benches and people enjoying the view. A small white dog is being walked by the photographer, held on a yellow leash. View of the top of a mountain. Forests and towns can be seen from here, the clouds are already grey from the setting sun, which doesn't reach them anymore. 3 people are sitting on a bench, enjoying the view. A few branches of a tree range into the picture from the top left. The sky is getting dark, but the yellow sun flares through the clouds. People are gathered to watch the sunset, some sitting in benches. They start to become silhouettes. The photographer walks her small white dog near a field, on a yellow leash. There are trees in the background, which start to hide the setting sun. The bottom of the clouds are glowing yellow from it.

Hamburgs greatest dog. My flatmate (her owner) found it annoying that she always wanted to sleep on the bed and under the blanket, but I, as a person who doesn't produce heat on her own, absolutely loved this portable heater dog.

#dog #viszla #hamburg
brown Viszla dog lying in her dog bed. in front of her is a black Nike sneaker she stole. she looks right past the camera, kind of surprised, and hopefully a little bit guilty. The head of a brown Viszla dog sticks out under a blanket. She seems to sleep on someone's bed, peacefully. A brown viszla dog cuddling with a person in her bed. Only the human torso in a light blue tshirt and her neck is visible, also the edge of a brown blanket. The dog is resting her paws on that person's upper body and has her head on the side of the person's pillow. A brown viszla dog lies between the legs of a person, hidden under her blanket on the sofa. Her head and paw stick out, which she rests on the person's legs.

#instax #analog #analogphotography
A hand holding two black and white instax photos. In the background is the shore of a lake, with green grass and trees. A bike and people on blankets are sitting in the background. The right instax shows a girl in a bikini and a dude with a fro sitting on a blanken. The left instax shows two girlfriends in their swimming attire on the same blanket. It's a nice summer day. A black and white instax photo is laying on a grey wooden table. A woman with short hair is holding her wiener dog, another woman leaning on her with longer hair. A black and white instax photo is laying on a grey wooden table. 3 people took a selfie, a man who makes a goofy face and two women, one smiling with her eyes wide open and another laughing beautifully.

I've not been able to reproduce makeup and lighting since that day five years ago.

#selfie #flashes
Selfie of a young woman with brownish hair, black halter top, red lipstick and the best winged eyeliner she ever did. She's looking right past the camera, there's a soft light but the image is overall dark-ish. To fit in a photo feed, the vertical photo is framed on a white square.

Some more #Hamburg impressions. (2020)

#flashes
Silhouette of two men sitting on a wall drinking something, probably beer. The sun sets behind them, reflecting in the camera. The Elbe river splits the image in half. Above it is the horizon and the sky fades from yellow to dark blue. The foreground is dark. Big, grey floor tiles. There's a step which creates a line in the bottom fourth of the photo. Another line is created where a glass wall ranges to the viewer, in the left fourth of the picture. Light comes from a near window and creates a diagonal line from the middle left to the bottom right corner of the image. Where the glass wall and the step meet in the lower left quadrant, a rainbow is reflected onto the floor, moving diagonally to the middle right of the photo. This creates an X shape made of light. A man with a fancy shirt is backlit from the evening sky. He's walking towards it on a bridge. Behind the rail on the left you can see the Elbe river. The lighting makes details hardly visible in the dark silhouettes. Through the window of a tram, the sun starts to set. It shines through trees in the background, reflecting in the camera lens. In the foreground of the scene, a tiled tram platform ends. A rail devides the platform from the tracks, with a round sign that forbids passengers to cross. The reflections of the lights inside the tram are seen on the window, overlaying the scene.

I've always been happy with the path I was on. 2020 was the first year I noticed that.

#flashes #flashesapp
A girl is taking a selfie in the good lighting coming from her window. She's sitting on her bed. You can see the top of her beige shorts and that she's wearing a black halter top. Her long hair, slightly curled, is brownish with blonde highlights and falls over the left shoulder, where she touches it to keep it in shape. She's wearing light red lipstick, the rest of her makeup is more subtle. Her blue eyes sparkle from the lighting.

Hamburg Stadtstrand Blankenese. Die obere Hälfte des Bildes ist blauer Himmel und eine strahlende Sonne. Links ist die Elbe, deutlich blauer als in echt. Rechts ein Strand voller Familien. Die Wellen haben ihn mit Wasser überspült, welches die Sonne grell reflektiert. Der Strand verläuft nach hinten zu einem Wald, an dessen Kante ein Leuchtturm steht.

Shadows.

#grid #photos #shadow #silhouette #flashes
3x4 grid of a series of photos. They were taken shortly after another. The shadow of a woman's upper body is falling onto a door, where a beige coat is hanging. Throughout the photos, she moves from front to side to raising her arm above her head.

Throwback series, contd.

#analog #analogphotography #selfie #people #peoplephotography #tb #throwback #flashes #flashesapp
Black and white: A printed photo lies on a lap of a person wearing light ripped jeans. The photo is a selfie of three friends. On the right and more in the foreground is a man with a dark beard, heavy glasses and a black cap. He shows his teeth in a grin. Slightly hidden behind him, in the center of the picture, a woman smiles in the camera. Left of her is another guy laughing into the camera, he has short hair and no beard, and wears something that looks like a long silver necklace, but is actually a fairy light with plastic stars.

Turkey '19.

#sea #seagulls #turkey #photography #waves #island #forest #flashes #flashesapp
View from a boat. You're passing an island, the sea is calm. Your boat leaves a mark on the water, which is a dark, greenish blue. The nearest part of the island starts ass a rock in the water, from which a stoney cliff rises to the right. The further parts are full of trees. Further back the island is overgrown with forest. A mountaintop ranges behind it, it's far away and light in color. The sky is greyish blue, full of white clouds. You view the sea through a ship's railing. It's net makes a diamond pattern in the foreground. The horizon is in the center of the picture. The sea is blue and full of small waves. Behind it, only a small part of an island is visible just in the right corner. The light blue sky fills the rest of the picture. Over the sea, four seagulls pass your boat, visible right between the ties of the net. You pass the island again with your boat. It rises from the sea, white stone partially overgrown with trees. In the background, the island is darker. The top half of the picture is filled with sky. Two white seagulls fill it in great detail. Both are facing the left of the picture, one has its greyish wings over its body, the other above spans them wide. Its white feathers seem to glow from the sunshine.

Turkey '19.

#analog #silhoutte #vacation #turkey #kemer #beach #sea #flashback
Analog style image with a signature that says 28.9.19. A tree is growing diagonally from a stoney cliff by the Turkish sea. It parts the picture in thirds. A woman is sitting on it in the center, wearing a bathing suit. But you nearly can't see any details, because the most vibrant part of the image is the blue sea in the background, creating a dark silhouette from the foreground.

Next time someone tells me I'm for sure skinnier than last time they saw me, I'll show them my Oreo Shake, Cannoli & Macarons breakfast
The background shows the interior of a car. A woman photographs her breakfast on her lap - a brown lunchbag, on it a vanilla cannoli. She holds an oreo milkshake in her left hand. It's a beautiful day.

Two girls posing in front of a mirror before a night out. You know the one. Selfie of two girls. The one on the left is brunette, the filter makes her blue eyes look dark. The one on the right has glowing orange hair. It has nothing to do with the filter which tints the whole image orange. The meme "is this a bird?" where the dude with glasses points to a butterfly, but it's adapted to "is this waldo?" and instead of a butterfly it shows the red haired girl with jeans and a red and white striped t-shirt laughing while standing in a doorframe.

Party pics.

#students #motto #party #tb #throwback #analog #instax #memories
Party scene. A girl sits on a sofa, smiling for the analog camera. The light is harsh, she wears a star-fairylight around her black dress. A person is sitting next to her but didn't fit in the instax frame. It's a spring night. A girl and a guy hold their hands over their heads like they're shaping a tree. The fairylights around their dark clothes hint at their costume (night sky). Minutes before, people outside a student flat have asked if their costume was supposed to show christmas trees. A group of students poses in front of a white wall, decorated with christmas tree branches. They all wear suits and fancy dresses, two guys kneel in the front to fit in the photo. The students kneel in front of the christmas photo booth. Two of them are closer to the camera, where the flashlight illuminates them visibly more. The left guy is the only one who doesn't smile for the camera. He looks serious and reaches to show the viewer two stickers: "zieh dein Ding! 🫵🏻"

History.

#grandparents #photography #family #documentary #images #flashes #flashesapp #grandma #grandpa #people
An old woman looking outside her window. What's behind that curtain is invisible to the viewer. A bookshelf full of old literature is behind her. Part of her bed is seen in the front, with an intricate floral pattern. Everything is slightly orange, which contrasts her green dress. A picture of an old woman is in the center over a background image showing her aloe vera collection. The woman has dark, red-ish hair, the light hits her from the side and amplifies her wrinkles. You can see the top of her green dress, which fits the color of her plants. You can see the bedroom again, from a bit more far away. Other than the glass lamp on the ceiling, which kind of looks like a glass tulip opening to the bottom, and a chair full of pillows, you can't find out more about who lives there. The composition of this image is complicated. on the left, there is a mirror, which only shows doors from an endless closet. On the right, there is a doorway. An old man walks towards you through it, being backlit by the light coming from another door behind him. He looks grim and serious. The wallpaper of this room is very old and shows a pattern. Old pictures hang on the left part of the wall.
