I’m so glad it’s Sunday and we’ve had another beautiful week of people posting and discussing photography! I had such a hard time selecting from all the great photos this week that I ended up choosing more than normal. Please check out Dan Mars’s Youtube channel, as the featured photo is part of a larger work called “Family Trip” which should be arriving this week! With that being said, let’s dive into the rest of our gems.
Gallery Gems
Eirik came in swinging with a great set of cave photos, and this one just takes the cake with the monochrome light, peaking in through the entrance. It feels classic, but adventurous, and fills me with excitement for a delve into the unknown. Please take a look at more of Eirik’s work on his website listed below.
This photo would be framed well, and have gorgeous colors without the goose, but the goose provides a compelling subject to go with it. I don’t know where this was taken, but this screams Middle America in the best way possible. Please check out Dave M’s website below to see more work!
I usually only pull photos from the gallery, but siftu dropped this one in the main photography channel and I couldn’t help myself. The fog is gorgeous, and the two different shades of light peeking through add a lot. I could sit and observe a scene like this for hours. Please check out sitfu’s website below for some more excellent work.
Look, I don’t know how Lampy made this diptych inside of a Polaroid, but I think it is incredibly creative. It shouts “disconnected longing” and isn’t afraid to be seen. Lampy’s Instagram is full of great work, so please check it out below.
The straight angle of the light make very compelling leading lines, and the small person in the center of the photo is a great subject. It almost feels like the light is bisected by them. Remii just joined the community and has already contributed some great stuff. Please check out his Instagram below!

The 2-Bit Clubhouse keeps on rolling, and it feels like amazing photos are getting posted every day. Eeenmachine rocked the colors and framing on this car, and the rest of the photos getting posted are all of equal thoughtfulness and quality. Please check out the collaboration thread! Eeen has requested we link to Owl Eye’s Zine, instead of any social media of his own, so please take a look at it, and support Owl Eye is you find it as amazing as I do.

Started up this week is Tom’s “Post a Shadow Selfie” thread, and it has been a fun thread to keep up with. I always love to see a peek into the photographer via shadows in photos, but I know most people try to avoid them. It is great to see the embraced and done with purpose. Please check out Tom’s Linktree below.
At the end here I need to acknowledge some bad news this week, our collaborator and dear friend Owl Eye has to take a step back from writing for the blog, but let’s all hope things get better for him, and that he can come back and with a vengeance. We appreciate all you’ve done, and hope for the best for you.
With a heavy heart,
Lunar Hades
