Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

Bad time to have a nightmare and check your phone to clear the air.

Our music game series is now done, so let's recap it with original art by @wendyleftmealone.bsky.social.

Realized I passed the 50% point on my RAID a while ago and am now looking at building a new unit. Crazily HDD prices have come down such that I’m looking at a 192TB setup for about the same as my previous 48TB build.

Manhattan councilwoman Julie Menin would appear to be the new NYC council chair. I photographed her last week at an event held by ABNY, The Association for a Better New York.

Morsels is a strange and delightful little game. I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m enjoying myself.

Reading Octavia Butler’s Kindred and seeing that the Venn diagram between the faceless thugs terrorizing folks and patrollers is a single circle. All these enforcement regimes are sleeper cells for this particular form of racialized violence — break glass in case of class consciousness.

How are things going in various spaces? Let’s review. Senate: Very Bad Lumines Enjoyers: Very Good!

I wish the music reviewers of Apple Music got a byline. There’s good writing in there, and it’s a shame to elide individual contributions away to corporate uniformity. Seeing a name attached to a bit of writing is another data point that helps build trust, especially in this new era of AI slop.

I yearn for a political party where not endorsing Mamdani while praising Dick Cheney gets you automatically booted out

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

It takes a lot of people, time, and passion to build anything in New York City. So it was an honor to document the creation of this particular 611 unit all affordable development. Thanks to New York City Housing Partnership for the call!

Photographed and filmed an art making workshop at Brotherhood Sisterhood Sol in Hamilton Heights. Acrylic ink and water on mulberry paper.

It’s amazing what good sound does to a project. I’ve been working on a short film with no music and a placeholder mix in place for weeks, and hearing it now with a beautiful score and diegetic sound and well mixed boom audio… puts a huge smile on my face. Looking forward to sharing it here soon.

Savage Beastfly will haunt my dreams tonight.

Just a tremendous recording.

I am old, I am old.

Just received word of the passing of a great photographer, Rosalind Fox Solomon. I am very grateful I had the opportunity to get to know her and work briefly in her studio in 2016, digitizing parts of her archive. She had a keen and compassionate eye and there’s simply no one else like her.

People on my block set off fireworks when Cuomo conceded. Could be a coincidence but I’ll take it as a sign!

Is this a real thing someone wrote and got published? “Propelled to victory?” Huh???

Let’s keep going and get through this moment to find better days, New York.

Rolled credits on Blue Prince… had the vibe of a very late title card. Time to roll up my sleeves and really get into this mystery then.

Took a few stills of Leah after we concluded filming for the day. Excited to get in the edit bay for this piece!

Nubby and I have been putting in some long hours at the Number Factory. Last night I hit on my first (I think) infinite. What a game, what a vibe. #nubbysnumberfactory

Thinking about this quote a lot lately: "Power demands sad bodies. Power needs sadness because it can dominate it. Joy, in consequence, is resistance, because joy doesn't give up. Joy as a life force leads us in places where sadness never can." - Gilles Deleuze

It is becoming unbelievably difficult to stay both informed and sane

Blue Prince is mysterious and important work.

Grammy-nominated Malian musician Amadou Bagayoko, who won global fame by moulding traditional West African sounds with Western rock and pop influences as one half of the blind duo Amadou and Mariam, has died aged 70 ⤵️

For anyone in the creative production sphere, how are we responding to the oncoming stagflation due to result from these insane economic policies? Raising rates 25% seems like bare minimum.

Photographed a dance class for the New York City Center, everyone expressed so much energy, style and exuberance! 📸: Nikon Z9 with Nikkor Z 24-70 f/2.8 S 🔦: 2x Profoto B10
