For now I’ll keep an acct here but I won’t be active. I love the idea of an alternative to all things Meta, but this format is too chaotic and noisy for me right now. I was never on Twitter- and I tried Threads for about 2 seconds- it’s not my thing. I’d go into it but no room. I’m on Foto and IG☹️

From Sunday- poking around Sanderson with my Pentax 67, a camera I love but have pushed aside for years. This is a phone pic but I also shot it with film -to be developed (TBD😎). I didn’t know a double stop sign was a thing- but I guess it is around RR crossings. See? Polaroid of one in Marathon.

Yesterday I made a fun day trip to restock Ferguson Motors - a coffee shop, food, art, live music events-regional work supported by this gem of a shop in Sanderson, Texas. These are some recent 8x10 reproductions of my series on cowboy drag 😜- b&w emulsion lifts on top of painted color blocks.

Testing a new 4x5 pinhole camera- 1) forgot my tripod mount and just held it 2) forgot a level 3) probably over-exposed 4) will take my sweet time developing because I’m not sure where my 4x5 tank is 5) had an excellent time! 💃 Marathon,TX- just some fancy old (30s?) structure for a well pump.

I’m just going to admit it- I don’t understand how to navigate this app. I just replied to myself 😂 Thanks to those reposting, I’ll figure this out eventually. (Another emulsion lift made into a greeting card- early evening sky in west Texas)

I shot this last year on a day trip to Sanderson, Tx- pulling off the lonely highway and zig zagging through scrub and cactus to get close enough. Clear sky, hot breeze, a day I remember really needing to remind me that despite a lot of hard things going on in my life, I still had West Texas! #holga

Two of my favorite places to camp- down in Fresno Canyon or Guale Mesa in Big Bend Ranch State Park. Looking forward to all the camping planned this year! I think these were shot with my Perkeo and Pentacon- 2023. More nature. Less news in 2025. More film, darkroom, cyanotype! Photogravure!

I’m making greeting cards from some of my favorite Polaroid work. When they’re available on my website I’ll post about it! Black and white Polaroid emulsion lift of a West Texas cloud ❤️

Reluctant to add more digital noise to my life, but also needing a safe place to land when I can no longer take Meta. Here’s a Polaroid of the beautiful butte- La Guitara on Guale Mesa, Big Bend Ranch State Park. With a Polaroid lift “curtain” on top.
