1 🕷 TEXT
[ username: beaker ]
( it's taken him awhile to build up the courage for this one. he wants to make this idea happen, yet a part of him wonders if he's the right guy for the job. without Clark he'd floundered a little, yet the need for a stable medium for sharing information remains, so here he is.
he waffled over voice, video, and text. in the end, he goes for text, because it makes him seem less nervous. maybe. though anyone that's texted him before might notice the difference — all the capital letters and punctuation, for example. lazy texting doesn't work when you're trying to convince people you want to put together a newspaper. )
Hey. Hello. I'm Peter, and I was thinking...
So back home, I worked at a newspaper. Not The New York Times or anything, but a paper, and it feels like we could use something like that here. Stories about what is going on in Olympia, or Thesa, or anywhere that people might need to know about. Classifieds, updates, tips for finding work and accommodations, sharing... anything and everything, really, because we're all starting over, here, and we've got to help each other.
I've got lots of ideas. Maybe you've got some, too. Either way, I can't do this by myself. If you have experience in journalism, or just writing, and you want to help out, then let me know.
I can't pay you. Gotta be upfront about that. But maybe that'll change? I dunno. Money or not, it'd help a lot of people. If that's worth it to you, then let me know if you're interested, and what you'd like to do. Questions, too, I guess, though I can't answer everything yet. It's kind of all up in the air until I know who I'm working with.
Yeah. That's it. Thanks for your time.
( ...okay, not a #nailedit, but... it could have been worse??? )

no subject

no subject

i can just be like, your pinch hitter
mine's a Lokton LX-30! what about you?
no subject
ive never heard of a lokton, but i have a yashica electro 35. an oldie but a goodie, and even if nikons are more versatile ive really gotten fond of this one. my uncle got it for me
no subject
just say the word, and i'm there, camera in hand
never heard of a yashica either, but if it's an oldie but a goodie, i feel you
there's just no messing with the classics, you know?
you been in the photog game for a long time then?
no subject
you can take a look sometime if you want? and yeah, there isnt... digital is easier i guess but so much got lost in translation
i kinda got into it when i was a kid. 12, 13 maybe? but i only started at the bugle at 17... so not that long really
no subject
it's not so much about the years anyway
it's about photographing what your heart tells you to, man!
and my heart tells me to photograph everything.
what do you usually snap pics of?
no subject
hmm... back home, buildings. the skyline.
people too, like, in the middle of their lives, like trying to capture a moment of just living, if that makes sense
what about you?
no subject
i'm mostly about the people, but man
there were some amazing landscapes back on Eos, too
i guess what it boils down to is just what you said, capturing a moment of life
i dig it, bro
no subject
& im not above pretentious food instas either, or i wasnt before all this... you know
you have much of your work here? if you like showing off what you can do, id like to see it
no subject
a whole bunch of my photos showed up on me when i woke up on Thesa
how lucky am i, right?
i'd be happy to show you.
bet you could give me some sweet pointers on my technique, too!
no subject
and i doubt it, we are probably even, man, but either way thats the way to get better, right? comparing work? or something?
no subject
maybe you can ask the Natha to try and recover them for you?
they seem to like to give us random stuff
but yeah, exactly! everyone photographs a little bit different so
we could totally talk shop and swap tips and all that jazz
no subject
