The oddities of Lewisburg, West Virginia

It’s a #TwoFerTuesday. Here are two fresh out of the kitchen edits of @carrieturnermodel.bsky.social You’ll be able to see other selections from our end of 2025 photoshoot on her Patreon.

2,410 license plate camera searches. Limited public visibility. Inconsistent documentation. Public safety needs guardrails, not blind trust.

A newish edit of a workshop I attended with @ggreyphoto.bsky.social and model Ember Kyra.

So I'm dumping my Twitter/X account. I spent all day removing old Tweets. The whole Grok/AI photo thing bothered me. So I moved out of that dumpster.

So just an update to my battle with #MountVernonOhio Flock Safety Cameras. While I couldn't get a public records request, there's a fantastic website that does it for me: haveibeenflocked.com/pd/4800-moun... I'm not telling you what to do with the information provided... just that it exists.

I gave my city council a "Billy Martin" on the Flock Safety cameras and they passed on it. Which is what I expected, but it can't be said that I didn't give them a chance. Modern problems, will require modern solutions.

I've been putting some editing work in for a couple days.

Woke up and decided to do something about the Flock cameras. I emailed City Council, I don’t expect them to act as they probably are tired of me. My hope is more people will speak up and get these removed. #MountVernonOhio #Surveillance #PublicOversight #GetTheFlockOut

I got some answers about the Flock Safety cameras that popped up all over Mount Vernon, Ohio. medium.com/@the_levee/m...

It’s the first edited photo of 2026. It’s of @carrieturnermodel.bsky.social from our shoot earlier this week.

A citywide surveillance system was quietly installed in Mount Vernon, OH. AI license-plate cameras went up with no public debate or council vote. Police can search the data, residents cannot. Legal? Yes. Accountable? - Not at all.

I wrote my last story about the city of Mount Vernon in November 2024. I took most of the year off, because it was just aggravating fighting city hall. At that point, I had been in and out of court too many times to count and I was just over it all, at least until April of 2025.

Threads: because we don’t want any of this. Finally a deviant on a social media platform. And that’s how we walk out of 2025.

My #Instagram #TopNine while statistically represents my photography, I’d rather show off my preferred photos and give out a bonus photo.

Having to rent a UHaul, fill a UHaul, unload a UHaul, return the UHaul and now, trying to figure out how to add all these furniture to my house. Also, I'm going to be a woodworker in the spring. #BeingResponsible is tiring.

I had to get up early and take a photo of a building. I can’t get my core to warm back up. #CommissionWork

Yeesh. I crashed out yesterday after getting ghosted for coffee, and now I’ve got the Tinder version of a Dear John letter. At this point, I’m officially done dating. I need a parental control on my own phone. Fucking hell.

Decided to spend my afternoon off work to decorate set-up and decorate my tree. Video: www.instagram.com/reel/DRnOjVz...

Most of the internet is out today. Which is nice.

Pro Tip: Do not attempt to date in your 40’s. It’s improbable.

I have uploaded my SFW and NSFW images from the @ggreyphoto.bsky.social workshop with model Ember Kyra where such images are acceptable to host.

I’m just exhausted again. Here’s my final over the top, let it rip, “it’s fuck y’all season” holy shit image from the northern lights on Tuesday. Where’s the Tylenol?

Debating if I want to chase northern light photos tonight. I was the only one out on the dam last night and it was like front row at a concert. That first wave was just stunning.

Just some #NorthernLights from tonight’s geomagnetic storm. Taken near Fredericktown, Ohio at the Kokosing Reservoir.

I had picked up a pancake lens and been itching to take it for a spin and this was one of the results. From a @ggreyphoto.bsky.social workshop in #ColumbusOhio with model Ember Kyra

Watching the city council, listening to someone who is not a chemist, tell the public, that the bleach spots that occurs on clothes are a result of changes in the global textile production. Basically, the plot from Zoolander.

Making turkey chili instead of using beef. Because there is zero market for my feet pics.

Working on images from today's shoot

In the past 24 hours I have sliced my left hand and burned my right index finger. Honest to god - this has been a fucking shitshow.

These two have had more dates than I have this year. They need to bone and get that shit over with. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Some photos from a recent workshop put on by @ggreyphoto.bsky.social

I keep getting ads to stay at a Hilton and getting out of this hellhole of a town isn't the worst idea.

Rumor is that ICE was spotted in Mount Vernon today. They raided the eatery next to the bowling alley. Which I don’t think those folks rose to criminal ranks.

A work in progress editing from a weekend workshop with @ggreyphoto.bsky.social and @kodyevans.bsky.social

For me - @garbage is my ride or die band. They announced they aren’t going to do a headline tour anymore and they’re justified. This maybe the last time I see them in Central Ohio. I busted out my Coolpix 7000 and got up front for what I believe was their best show, so far.

Waiting in line for @garbage.com Because this is probably going to be the last Central Ohio show.

Really hate having insomnia

I did a thing, and wore my best flannel too. www.youtube.com/live/ao-fgn5...

This guy. He’s got something to say to City Council tonight.

Finally did something for myself joshuamorrisonphotography.com/2025-great-m...

Guess who's back, back again? Shady's back, tell a friend Guess who's back, guess who's back. Guess who's back, guess who's back.

In the before times, this would be an impeachable war crime. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...

Because the messaging isn’t getting through, but here we go: Nazis are bad. Mmkay?

I have an uneasy feeling that Mount Vernon City Council will inevitably piss me off tonight.

Trying to find happiness or even optimism as a broke single approaching 50 year old man is proving to be difficult. But at least tomorrow I’m a sports photographer for an hour

Today’s news that @garbage.com is launching their final headlining US tour was a gut punch. I’ll be there in Columbus.

I tried the Bourdain Mortadella sandwich. And it's a fucking revelation. It's simple ingredients are just perfect together.
