This is a collection of files painstakingly pulled from “wiped” “cleaned” and “ready to use” SD cards that were available for sale from flea markets, swap meets, local phone stores around the country and ebay. Not all of these pictures will be of the quality that most other content on this website is, as most of these were taken with phones.
I feel like turning content that was on the veritable chopping block, and giving it new creative life is something that’s as old as time. I’m not going to spend a lot of time anonymizing content- unless I deem the content is of a particularly compromising or embarrassing nature.
If by some way you discover your photos here and wish to have it removed, you can contact me at me@gill.is

You may notice a trend of softer focus photos, that’s not your eyes going out on you. High ISO imagery plus cell cameras means lot of noise and jpg artifacting.
Turns out editing cell photos is Quite like life itself. It’s about finding the signal amongst the noise.
