I want to draw peoples’ attention to the wonder and reality of our universe, so that we have less desire to destroy it.
CIRCA 1983 – A Sense Of Reflection — UP KNÖRTH
Owen (aka, Circa 1983), is one of my favorites. His Instagram feed is a constant source of that awe and wonder.
While not perfect, the in-camera double exposure feature on Fuji X cameras is pretty fun to play with.
I’m using the Fuji XE-1, but the other Fuji X cameras offer the same feature. It’s nice to have the double exposure option a few button presses away in camera.
I have the double exposure mode set to the Fn button on the top of the XE-1. That way, if I’m feeling creative, I hit it and start firing away.
The camera sets each exposure at 50% opacity and layers the successive image on top of the former. You don’t get creative options like, say, Canon offers, but at least you can see the overlaid images in the viewfinder.
Making these monochrome let me focus on the shapes and design aspects of the images. I’m dealing with blocks of circles, squares, and lines, and seeing how they interact.
It’s a fun exercise without dipping into Photoshop. There’s a bit of processing on these to make them black and white, and to boost things like contrast. But all of these double exposures were created as seen in the XE-1’s viewfinder.
Some backstory: Neal Morse left Spock’s Beard in the early 2000s to pursue a Christ-centered musical career. He returned for a progressive rock cruise and performed “June” with the band.
Amazing. Like Roger Waters coming back to Pink Floyd to perform (only Neal left on decent terms).
Happy Easter.

Another fun Medium rant.
Fuckin’ A. As much as I love the galloping twin-guitar onslaught of KMFDM’s modern lineup, it didn’t get any more amazing than Günter Schulz flying at warp speed during their heyday.
Those riffs. That speed.
