Re: Essex, England, 2003
several thousand more pictures to come
Re: Essex, England, 2003
I forgot to make a cartoon today cause I was doing this
Re: Essex, England, 2003
Excellent.
Re: Essex, England, 2003
Essex, England, 2003 is quite an ominous title somewhere.
Re: Essex, England, 2003
And also somehow
Re: Essex, England, 2003
yes. "essex, 2003" for some reason sounded wrong, too, yet i could not tell you why

Re: Essex, England, 2003
I think it's because it sounds a bit too close to something like "LOS ANGELES, NOVEMBER 2019", which would be entirely the wrong tone
Also this is marvelous, and I like how the very first photo appears to be of a crow looking at a plate
Re: Essex, England, 2003
Yes. Although I think it might just be a blackbird unfortunately
Re: Essex, England, 2003
The worst possible crow
Re: Essex, England, 2003
Also imagine a futuristic blade runner esque essex
Re: Essex, England, 2003
It is impossible

Re: Essex, England, 2003
Also I seem to still be experiencing the approval problem with posts that everyone else had. Sorry about this
Re: Essex, England, 2003
Yes. Shite. I don't understand. Maybe it wears off when you've made enough
Re: Essex, England, 2003
i reckon 5 posts
if not i will cast a spell
if not i will cast a spell
Re: Essex, England, 2003
To defeat the spam approval system, you must spam beyond its limits
Re: Essex, England, 2003
when i first joined yilez immediately made me an admin and i still had to approve my own posts
for a while
for a while
Re: Essex, England, 2003
excellent.
Re: Essex, England, 2003
anyway, in the forum permissions bit, i found a list of "managed users" or something, and it only listed twig, deadcat and the duchess, so maybe candy darling's free now
Re: Essex, England, 2003
Lovely stuff, Davuss! Cat photos are bets photos!
I got my first digital camera in '98 (a Kodak, I think it was), and it more or less became the camera that everyone on my course used, because the art college hadn't got any of their own at that point!

Re: Essex, England, 2003
Ironic, since Kodak was late to the digital camera game because they were just "a fad" and nothing could displace their billions invested in film and development.
NOW, LET US LICK THE EGG
Re: Essex, England, 2003
Very troo!
Re: Essex, England, 2003
I genuinely had no idea digital cameras even existed in the 90s
Re: Essex, England, 2003
In the second series of the wire (which was also probably 2003), there's a bit where the guys at the docks are stealing and selling digital cameras, and they have to spend ten minutes of the episode explaining what digital cameras were and how they worked, because they were so futuristic no one watching would have had any idea what they were, but I never watched the wire until about 2012 or something, by which time they really needed a whole section explaining how film cameras worked and what they were
Re: Essex, England, 2003
They are essentially identical to all the previous days
Re: Essex, England, 2003
I wonder whether there will be any evidence of me leaving the house at all at any point
Re: Essex, England, 2003
i finally leave the house on the 25th may, to go to my grandparents garden, which was two doors away

Re: Essex, England, 2003
These photos are diong something to my brane. I think it's a combination of not being able to process these images being 17/18 years old, when most of them look like they could've been taken yesterday, and the fact that your hice/gardron/area look eerily like locales where two of my mates grew up, thus I keep experiencing a: "Haven't I been there?" vibe!
Re: Essex, England, 2003
Excellent. Also yes I think they just cut and pasted these sorts of housing estates across the whole country in the 70s. There's an estate where some of my friends lived on the other side of essex about ten years ago, and not only was their house the exact same layout as this, but the whole estate had the exact same three trees planted everywhere that we have round here too (a cherry blossom type tree, a tree that has purple leaves, some sort of fir tree).blombluss wrote: ↑Sat Mar 13, 2021 4:39 pm These photos are diong something to my brane.

Re: Essex, England, 2003
If it was a computer game you'd complain about lazy asset re use
Re: Essex, England, 2003
Also if these were taken yesterday the only difference would have been that they were 3000 pixels wide instead of 600. And I wouldn't have needed a mirror for the selfies
Re: Essex, England, 2003
ALso I have dediced to end this here, and rename it Essex, England, May 2003, so that I don't have to cope with the confusion of June, where half the photos aren't even in essex, but in brighton (the essex of the south)
Re: Essex, England, 2003
What is the Essex of the North and West? North - Cheshire? West - NOT APPLICABLE
Re: Essex, England, 2003
Blackpool, Hull
Re: Essex, England, 2003

He does get to lord it over all the characters in Thomas Hardy's books, though.

I had to read Tess of the D'Urbervilles for my English A-level. I didn't enjoy it.

Re: Essex, England, 2003
I thought maybe I'd read it at some point but after consulting Wikipedia I think it was Jude the Obscure that I'm thinking of. Either way I think I found it quite hard work
