When a place that’s not your home feels more like home than your actual home does.

One of the many things I love about Mexico is the food.

Setting my clock forward five years.

I don't judge people. You live your life I'll live mine.

Eva Besnyö, 1934

After a certain age, people get tired of untangling the knots and just cut the rope.

The person driving me today fell asleep behind the wheel. Full out eyes closed, mouth open, passed out. If we would’ve swayed left instead of right, we would’ve hit oncoming traffic. If I hadn’t grabbed the wheel, we would’ve crashed. This is why I like being in control of the car. Fuck.

Don’t give up on your dreams. If you wish to someday lurch through town in an enchanted cottage with giant chicken legs, spreading fear and wonder in equal measure, I know you can do it. I believe in you.

Because somewhere out there it’s someone’s birthday today

Ancient mossy forest.

Thoughts on using ai to remove objects? Saw this man in the lobby of a hotel reading the paper. I took a quick shot and walked away. Love it, minus the lamp. But I’m also a huge fan of imperfections, so…

Buying a small piece of land in Portland Oregon is becoming increasingly attractive. Maybe I’ll put a tiny house there. Just me, my dog, and two cats. 2 years to make it happen? I think I can.

Friends, please speak with a doctor if you spend more than 3 nights per week floating through the cosmos, battling ancient gods that exist beyond time, and devouring dark nebulas at the ragged edge of the universe.

I've raised several species of mantis, and the largest ones by far were my Devil's Flowers. Here's one of the males eating a bluebottle fly. #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #macrophotography #macro #prayingmantis #mantis #insects #eastcoastkin #photography

If you like making love to music, put on a live album. That way, you get applause every two to four minutes.

Antlers not grown yet? Tentacles all awry? Fangs & claws cracked and broken? Don't worry. We're all perfectly imperfect in our own way, and that's ok.

Tom Waits voice: ”I was gonna go to church / but I got high. I was gonna confess all my sins / but I got high. I was gonna eat that wafer too / but I got high. Now I’m burning in hell / and I know why. Because I got high, because I got high, because I got hiiiiiiiiigh.”

A buzzing neon sign against bare winter branches. Inside the office the heavy keys still hang behind the clerk. No keyless entry here. No AI, no smart anything. Just an old motel with decades of stories lying behind each door.

Meet me by the fallen tree.

Might’ve caught a Sandlot moment in real time.

Wait hold up... Did Bad Bunny just give his Grammy to Liam Conejo Ramos the poor kid who was kidnapped by ICE? If so amazing The sign beforehand said "Conejo" on it too

“If I’m here at Super Bowl LX, it’s because I never stopped believing in myself. You should never stop believing in yourself either. It’s worth more than you think.” —Bad Bunny

There’s a saying I like: if a city attracts you, it’s because there’s something waiting for you #UrbanGaze #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBluesky #photography #ArtYear #dailyart #art #onlybeautifulthings #artchallenge #artprompt #vienna

I needed a hug today, but settled for a cup of cocoa at this bistro instead.

This morning’s cup of tea.

Ernest Hemingway in the bar Floridita in Havana.

Goodnight.

Loading her up with some black and white film. My impatient self is excited knowing I won’t have to wait weeks to get it developed.

Nothing more attractive than a person with a good heart.

Hadn’t looked at IG in a good while. Today I made the mistake of going through it and saw a video of some kid my daughter’s age, maybe younger, get taken by ICE while he was scared and screaming that he was legal. It broke my heart & my spirit. Haven’t been able to stop crying since. No photo today.

Handy Man.

A little moment of my life. My toxic trait is thinking another notebook and planner can save me. To be fair, I think this time I might actually be right. I had other photos I liked, but counting this one as my 9th.

Eight: I like the soft subtlety of this one.

Seven: Took a lot more effort than I thought it would. She’s fast and I was running out of treats. Highlights are a little blown out but she’s perfect, so this is the one I choose for today.

Always be your true self. If the timid townsfolk recoil as you float past cloaked in a fog of swirling souls and clattering ravens, so be it.

Practice shot, day 6: Fujifilm colors are something else.

They’re all practice shots when you’re a beginner and don’t know or care about the rules.

Day 5: Grocery store shot. Cause I’m doing my best to stay consistent, but aside from my trip to the grocery store today I don’t plan on leaving my home.

Day 4: Forgotten things.

Day 3:

Feels a little heavy being Hispanic in this country right now. Bad news - we’re being targeted. Good news - I love my caramel skin color more than ever.

Between wanting the truth and not being able to handle the truth, I stay pretty busy.
