#I need someone to be my photographer

[apple-spider-vinegar]

My dear friend who just saw Spider-Man 2 for the first time: Bro, why is Peter even trying to go to school to become a scientist? I thought he was a photographer.

Me, who has not considered this, but knows that Peter is going to argue that the staff photographer job at The Bugle should go to him in the next movie: ....... Good question.

On a real note, the college stuff probably made it into the adaptation for these reasons:

It's one more aspect of a normal life for Peter to try (and fail) to manage with being Spider-Man

It gets him an in with Dr. Otto Octavius

Dr. Connors' assessment of Peter's brilliance and laziness is a prime reason for Otto to give him the speech about using his gifts for the good of mankind, which will be a central theme/conflict of the movie as Peter struggles with losing his powers

It shows that Peter does have ambitions and something to offer outside of his being Spider-Man

That last item is also something demonstrated by his photography skills, but I've thought it over and I think that while he's good at it and enjoys it, it's probably a hobby he's monetizing as opposed to an actual life goal. He takes pictures for The Bugle because he needs the money, he mentions getting fired by Dr. Connors in the first movie, so whatever probably-science-related job he had there didn't work out.

The thing is, all the non-freelance jobs Peter has in the Raimi series don't work out, so I'm not sure how the staff photographer thing would have gone for him in the long run.

Then again... a job like that would allow him to be out of the office on assignment pretty frequently and they probably would have given him somewhat flexible hours (given all the time that has to be spent taking pictures outside normal office hours in order to get the scoop) as long as he was getting his 40 in, getting the work done and keeping in communication.. ... So it might actually be the best kind of full-time work available to him. I know very little about STEM careers, however, so anyone can chime in with more information.

#as someone whose business card reads reporter/photographer i thought about this way more than i needed to #i will note however that i have only ever worked at a small local paper and my coverage area is one county not the whole of new york city #i don't know how those big city papers do things #raimiverse #peter parker #op

hot take: not that it matters, but I truly don’t think lazy people actually exist. even if we DO run with the truly heartless idea that everyone has to be “useful” for the right to live, everyone wants to be “useful”. Everyone wants to do something. Nobody wants to completely waste away doing nothing, that’s just not the nature of living. They just don’t have the drive to go with the options the government has decided are worth having the right to live for. And they shouldn’t have to.

#somari funny moments. #remember when I had ‘I don’t touch politics’ or whatever it was in my about page? anyways #librarians! artists! photographers! EVERYTHING is something SOMEONE wants to do!! #we don’t need this system!! we’ll do all of it anyways!! AND more people will do it #again. it doesn’t matter. even if I’m wrong they have the right to live without being miserable #just the thought process of someone who was called lazy their whole life. and is being punished now that they actively want not to be #god I’m sorry anyone who followed me for that pokemon post I SWEAR once I’ve moved out and start hrt I’ll be funny again #okay to rb btw. I’m FIRM on this

in the new year i know i gotta get around to going through my wardrobe and selling some bits. I have some cute like fairy kei bits, sweet/sweet classic lolita dresses, bear lolita even a coat perfect for sweet or classic lolita. And they're adorable, but like dats not my style and I bought them to experiment but I'm just not a fairy kei pink gal or a sweet lolita so i guess it's time to get them go and be loved and used by someone who gets lots more value than me from them ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

#egl fashion #i wear alternative and goth daily and going out when I'm not working #gothic lolita or classic when i dress up #so i'm just needing to marie kondo the cute things and say thank you you brought me joy now pls go bring someone else job:') #my posts #like sorry tailor bear imma photograph you and then kiss you goodbye <3` #decluttering #lolita fashion

do you ever feel like you're trapped inside of a simulation and that everyone is watching you so whenever you're alone you scream as loudly as you can so they might let you out but they never do and so you're essentially stuck here forever or. is that just me

#random thoughts #help me i don't know what emotions are. colors? we have colors. colors can be emotions #i can't close my eyes when i'm alone anymore because i don't know what they'll do to me. /srs or /j? not sure anymore #spiraling? spiraling #this isn't a vent i'm just very confused? wow i can't believe it. i'm? alive? am i? i need confirmation #i don't feel real half the time! more than that actually. i feel like. a camera #but when there is no-one to photograph where does the camera go? when i am alone i do not exist #i become nothing. hello there? can you see me? hello? hi? #look at us. so far away. with tears in my eyes i look up and there is a ceiling. take me back i can't do this #where are you? where am i? where will we be? i'm falling over and falling apart #they've stolen my organs and my baby teeth and donated them to someone who needs them more. please #donnez aux enfants ma couronne faite en papier. je souhaite qu'ils ne la déchiront pas

just remembered the time I was lamenting on twitter about not having bug friends anymore and my ex replied ':('

darlin. you live in pennsylvania. I meant friends I can actually hang out and catch bugs with

#also [at the time] we haven't seen each other in person since we broke up many years ago #are you gonna road trip to another state to stomp through a field with me for a couple of hours?? or are you being WEIRD for no REASON #anyway thinkin about this because I am once again wondering how to get nature and bug friends to tromp around with again #all my fantasy nerd social needs are now being met but all of my nature nerd social needs used to be covered by DJ exclusively :') #WHO WILL STOMP AROUND THE MARSHES WITH ME PHOTOGRAPHING FROGS AND BOTHERING SNAKES. WHO WILL HELP ME CHASE COOL BEES #I miss bug catching AND pinning but I have come to feel weird about personally collecting insects so I'd love a bug collector friend #I KNOWWW that the answer is I need to go to Things at nature centers/ parks but uggghh how do make friends there... #if high school was good for one thing it was putting you somewhere that you could awkwardly exist near other people every day #until someone extremely outgoing and energetic notices you seem to have similar interests and starts bringing you on bird watching trips #if I'm not getting adopted by an extravert I just simply do not know how to make friends #about me

So whats it like having illustration for a job? Or was it graohic design? It was something along those lines right?

i do both actually! to be honest i just call myself a freelancer, since i do whatever people will hire me for. most of my gigs are theatre related, usually stage design + costuming, and then also stage photography/documentation. a lot of my graphic design and illustration work is also usually theatre related as well; i do logo designs for small theatre companies and a lot of posters/graphics + tour marketing campaigns. this book contract i just finished is the biggest illustration job i've done just solely by itself (cover + 13 full page interiors), whereas normally the illustration/drawing work i do is a part of another job; like hand-drawing a logo or doing big scenic painting. the biggest physical 'illustration job' i did was for the set of my thesis show in undergrad, where i painted custom portraits of queen victoria that got blown up to 20ft tall (don't ask), a ted harrison style 30ft mountain range backdrop, and a custom hand drawn+painted 30ft floral mandala for the turntable in the stage. yes that was all for the same show and yes it took me almost a year to design everything.

to get back to your question though, it's like being any other kind of freelance worker, i suppose. i had a lot of fun with this book contract and i'd love to do more, but it just depends on what gigs find me first.

#i really love doing poster design! the most recent one i did was for my solo exhibition #and i did this fun riff on the cover of an old ikea catalogue #i also do headshots and fashion photography occasionally and i custom make garments + do alterations for people #basically if i have a skill there's a reasonable chance someone has paid me to do it #the reason why i do so many different things is that its hard for small theatre companies to hire 'professionals' for some of these things #bc there's usually too high a cost barrier and the 'professionals' are not familiar with the conventions of the form #like finding a good theatre/performance photographer can be hard bc you need a very good camera right off the bat (for low light) #and a lot of photographers aren't usually familiar enough with theatre to know when to get good shots #/arent able to get to know a show well enough to get those shots bc you can only hire them for one session etc #so i usually offer to photograph all the shows i do 1) for my own documentation purposes and #2) so they dont have to bring someone else in and worry about scheduling etc etc #non kpop questions #text #answers

Any faceclaims for Milo and/or Sam? Literally lost my mind at your Gavin one he’s so beautiful 😩

So I generally struggle with visualizing people without descriptions, and I've been trawling around pinterest hoping something jumps out and bites me. Got very lucky with that happening for Gavin, but I'm still on the fence about and fine-tuning Milo and Sam.

When I drew Milo I kind of went off others' ideas of Matt LeBlanc, but I'm still debating. I've been wondering if Joseph Gordon-Levitt would work, but I haven't tried yet and he also seems a smidge off.

Sam is tricky because I've kind of gravitated toward Josh Hartnett, but that wasn't originally what I wanted in my head. However, I haven't been able to spot anyone closer to my original idea, so I'm trying to figure out how to draw him with Hartnett as kind of a springboard?

I've been trying to sketch things out in hopes that something will stick, because I have a horrible time trying to picture people while listening to something if I haven't been able to see it physically in front of me.

#I despise pinterest with a fiery passion but it is decent for finding people that sort of look like other people #so those are kind of the starting points I've been looking through #aaron bernards is who I found for gavin and it was the first one where I felt very !!!! #testing out a young ethan hawke for asher #always a little curious how noticeable likenesses are if I'm basing appearances on someone #because a lot of the time I can't see the likeness when I finish and idk if anyone else can #but in a way that's sometimes the goal because like I said so far the ones I've got are close but not quite #I need to search around for more ideas for others. haven't got a clue for david yet or vincent #I have something in my head for caelum but it is not photographic at all and I'm pretty sure I'll never find an actual face claim to match #anyway yeah o3o #I never really had celebrity crushes growing up (go figure that being ace will do that to you) but the closest I got to one was hartnett #okay I need to stop rambling #redacted asmr #asks #blutomindpretzel

No yes, I’m sorry. I’ll be sure to get better pictures for a ceremony that’s over by the time you send me there and I’ll never trust a PR person who says that they have photos to send ever again. How stupid of me to think this would work out. My deepest apologies, prayers, and regret, sire.

#GOD #I saved this as a draft cuz I was like ‘no I’m not gonna post anything when I’m mad’ but it’s been 24 hours and I have decided I am #rightfully pissed #the person who arranged this whole thing got the times wrong so there was nothing or me to cover by the time I showed up but an organizer #said she had pictures that we could use and would send them by tomorrow morning #I tell my boss the whole situation and he’s understanding at first and tells me to send the photos once they come in #queue fucking yesterday: I email the pics and he’s like ‘you don’t have anything better?’ #no. you sent me to an event that was over. there was nothing to photograph. you are aware of the situation. #’well you need to understand that it’s important to get good photos for things like this but whatever this will work I guess’ #so I spend all afternoon emailing other people at the event asking if they had pics we could use. finally hear back from someone #and send those over to my boss. #only for him to fucking say: I actually like the first photos better. we rearranged the layout for them #anyway pardon me while I go fuck myself ig #fucking vent. I’ll probably delete this later but Jesus Christ I’m so glad this week is over

the fact that you realise you're in pain is the incentive you are looking for to get help. listen, the pain is comfortable yes, it's what we're used to, but you need to step out of it. it's never too late to start taking care of yourself

A lot of what I'm dealing with hurts. I had a cavity that hurt really bad up until recently. (Nerve probably died) and my joints hurt frequently. But the fix for the teeth is gonna hurt worse and I'm terrified about what getting evaluated for EDS is gonna uncover. I've repeatedly injured my wrist and I'm not sure if I'm going to get the full range of mobility back. I'm not sure what they're gonna have to do or what I'll have to look out for.

I liked being a black box where all the random things that wrong with me were just a funny mystery. Funny little humonculus man. Not 'repeatedly failed by the medical system' man. Don't get me wrong, I'm ready to tackle this. But dude I'm terrified.

#the teeth thing was gonna happen but the EDS scare originally started when someone noticed my knees were bent weird in a photograph #i didn't think it was weird #damn #i went most of my life being somewhat weird and not knowing why #there are common comorbidities like ADHD and ASD to having joint hypermobility too #like #this is looking under a rock and seeing all the creepy crawlies you didn't wanna see #i didn't wanna get put under a microscope but something is definitely wrong and i need it #but oh man am i scared

love when people @ work ask me if I can like take a couple of photos for their website, which they of course, expect me to take+edit for free b/c editing isn't like time consuming at all or w/e, and I'm like yeah my camera's battery broke and I have yet to get/wait for a replacement :) and they just :) oh ? so you only have the one camera ??? like ??? nah buddy those things are so cheap I can very clearly afford having 15 of 'em lying around at home at all times in case a couple of them break :)

#like you could just hire a professional photographer if my waiting for a replacement battery is inconveniencing you so much #if y'all are too cheap to actually pay someone for photos you can fucking wait and shut up about it :) #not to mention that I have no time for editing shit these days like if y'all need you photos fast ??? #you want the job done fast ?? fucking stop being cheap and pay!! someone!! to get it done!!! #I don't even want to replace this shitty ass battery because photography doesn't even spark joy anymore #due to me having shitty lenses and no money to get decent ones anyway lmao #personal
