F...book says I posted this photo six years ago and asks if I’d like to share this memory again... definitely not ! I won't be posting anything anymore on f...B ( Only Flavie )

But here she is: the surfer girl from six years ago.
I used a picture before https://pixelfed.social/p/LievenSymaeys/894503707052923637

and a thought :

Years ago, a great many young women would step in front of my camera entirely of their own free will. Because they wanted to capture their youthful beauty in an artistic way. Because they enjoyed it, because it made them feel stronger, for all sorts of personal reasons.

I’m not really searching for anything anymore, but I also think the whole picture has changed now. With the rise of sites like Insta, the everyday selfie, complete with all sorts of filters, has taken over. Insta is all about instant fame and self-affirmation. You don’t need someone else’s perspective on yourself (e.g. a photographer); you decide your own image and become a commercial ā€˜like’ product.

The photo was taken with a Contax G2

Happy pigs shot with a Olympus Trip 35 ...

I’m not a vegetarian, so I’m not doing enough to combat animal suffering. But images like that shouldn’t be the exception. In nature, it’s also about eating and being eaten. But agriculture could ensure that animals do have a good life before they are used for consumption. Years ago, I also came across a similar old-fashioned scene where a whole bunch of pigs were roaming around freely and happily, and it was a fantastic sight to behold. Pigs are highly intelligent animals and interact very socially with one another when they have that freedom! Of course, I took a few photos. I’ll have a look for them and share them with the world ;)

Love the content on Romping Bronco's second channel. Watching him and his friend explore Shaniko, Oregon’s ghost town is oddly relaxing.
