Let me capture your light on the emulsion of my soul Roll a Saving Throw vs. Rod, Staff or Wand

A color negative film double exposure image, showing a quad rider on an asphalt road superimposed over an image of a cloudy sky. The distortion due to the used fisheye lens is minimal as a 135 film back was used in a 120 camera.
A busy pedestrian street, it's cloudy and raining, people have umbrellas, except for a woman slightly off center to the left, who is sporting a bright red coat, dominating the image with its color.
A portrait orientation black and white film photograph, showing two young women shot at an about 45 degree horizontal angle, dressed in black gripping each others lapels and gazing into each others' eyes while sitting opposite each other at a wooden table outside. In the background, out of focus, a large ground floor window can be seen of a building. The tension of their bodies and gripping arms is mirrored in the tension of the gaze of the woman farther away, whose face we can fully see. The image has further contrast, between the pale skin of the models and their black clothes and dark hair, adding a further layer of tension, especially as their arms cross, contrasting the black sleeves of the one to the pale skin of the bare arms of the other.
A grainy, portrait format, black and white, film photograph of a young woman with long dark hair, sitting on a sofa and gazing to the side out of a window.
A landscape orientation black and white film photograph depicting a one-story building, whose wall shows the remnants of ivy that has been recently sloppily removed. The upper portion of the outer door is also depicted, bearing the german word "Löschwassereinspeisung" meaning "Fire water supply", i.e. water for purposes of extinguishing fires.
A portrait orientation color negative film photograph, showing the patio of a cafeteria in the foreground, the outdoor rattan furniture under a row of palm trees, gazing directly onto the calm blue sea below. In the distance to the right is part of an island. The sky above is partly cloudy and in pastel light blues to dark indigo. The image is fuzzy and overexposed, as it was taken with a plastic camera with very limited exposure control.
A fuzzy, square, black and white film photograph, taken from ground level, of a basketball court, with the hoop in the middle of the shot, in front of a treeline. The sky above is cloudy.
ASTRA In the darkness of the void starlight whispers names forgotten not for humans nor for gods but for the cosmos itself lest it forget that once it harbored the immensity of your soul
A color negative photograph in landscape format showing a green metallic car on cobblestone with its hood open and flowers and shrubs growing out of it.
A rectangular black and white film photograph showing a tree whose trunk is convoluted and almost horizontal due to being constantly buffeted by strong winds.
QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT Spins synced brain waves superimposed now, for our heartbeats to match
A landscape format black and white film photograph, showing part of the pavement on the top and the asphalt of the street below in gritty grainy detail. In the middle of the image lies a used insulin syringe with its cap on. Spoiler: it was not used for insulin.
A grainy black and white film image showing various succulents, especially cacti in a greenhouse. The forefront of the image is dominated by one round cactus and several elongated ones that with their straight lines lead the watcher to observe the top of the image where a slice of the greenhouse glass ceiling can be seen, from which hang pots with plants that hang downward over their pot rims.
KNOW THYSELF Let me gaze into my Abyss inhaling sacred daphne to see secrets revealed and wants uncovered that I hide even from myself I see you in the madness of my love in the shadow flames of lust and passion true desire for your soul
A color film image of a green bicycle leaning on a wall overgrown with dark green ivy and a dark green wooden door. Only an eggshell colored rectangle in the background, some tan dried ivy leaves below the bike and the light to mid grey stone pavement of the foreground and a sand colored slice of wall on the right margin are not green - well, and the bike's red taillight and the chrome spokes of the wheel, but it is predominantly an image in hues of green. If you perceived this text, shoot me a message! The image is not crisp, the colors a bit creamy, typical for expired film.
SILENCE The Sun is gone and I have no light The firmament is dark for we have lost the stars I consume sounds desperate to find the invocations that will bring you back
A film photograph showing a body of water, thick woods lining the shore, which mirrors an overcast sky, out of which filter stray rays of sunlight. The forest is underexposed, contrasting its darkness to the blueish gray of the sky and its mirror image in the still waters.
Black and white grainy film photograph. The image has been taken with a fisheye lens and thus is round. It shows a crossroads in a snowy landscape, the paths are lined with tall trees. The paths intersect at an angle, which is preserved from distortion as it is in the center of the frame. The oblique angle makes the paths like an X and the observer looks along one of the X lines.
A black and white image shot with a fisheye lens, thus circular, of three children dressed as The Three Kings, on January 6th, in front of a house door, on snowy pavement, posing. The negative scan shows light leaks at 12 and 6 o'clock.
