@ivysublime.bsky.social, taken this Saturday and developed on Sunday. I’m fairly certain this is with my Nikon 35mm f/2.8. I’m absolutely certain it was captured with my Nikon FM2N and Kodak Tri-X 400.

More with/from @ivysublime.bsky.social. Historically I'm too much of a control freak to enjoy using natural light, but 2026 is the year where I learn to embrace it.

@ivysublime.bsky.social in natural light, killing it as usual. Most of yesterday's session was taken on film and I can't wait to see the scans.

My Olympus OM2n is getting CLA’d and I miss her desperately.

Claire and I have been artistically collaborating for eight years as of last week. I always feel like I am cheating on her hair color when I shoot her in b&w, because the red tresses are just so gorge! Taken with my OM2n + 85 mm f/2 on, let’s say Kodak Gold 200.

Claire, from the No I Won’t Shoot Your Indy Album Cover collection. Definitely taken with Acros 100 and my OM2n + 85 mm f2.

Everything is terrible and horrible. So here is Ann-Margaret and Desi Arnez Jr. on the “Here’s Lucy” show in 1970 doing a dance number that’s been remixed to Prince’s “Kiss”. Ann-Margaret was hip AF! 🔥

One day I’ll remember to jot down the camera and lens I used, but today is not that day! So I’m going to go with: Nikon FM2 and 35mm f/2.8 (they were in my bag). The film is Kentmere 200.

I just realized that Bsky has never seen @chrisubik.bsky.social and my wax photos. I will rectify that. #fineart #fineartnude #figuremodel #wax #model #travelingmodel #artmodel #candlewax

With @chrisubik.bsky.social wearing my Marie Mur leather harness, which I can't believe I had never shot in prior to this photoshoot. #blackandwhite #bnw #bnwcaptures #moodyportrait #fineart #artmodel #fineartphotography #leather #lingerie #model #monochrome

I developed film at home for the first time since the late 1980s today! The roll on the left is Tri-X; on the right is CineStill BwXX. Both were developed in CineStill DF96. The hardest part wasn’t developing, it was using a changing bag and getting film on the reels for the first time in 37 years.

Another from the wealth of archives @chrisubik.bsky.social and I share. I was very obsessed this timeframe with "anonymity" so I shot in wigs, accessories, and costumes that obscured my identity. This is what longterm collaborations between models and photographers will grant! #artmodel #surreal

I think one of the hangups around sex workers rights is that everyone else adjacent feels like it's an affront to center sex workers because other groups also suffer from similar problems But my point is- These are not mutually exclusive positions This is a time for solidarity, not division

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

In the mood for some bodyscapes. With @chrisubik.bsky.social #bodyscapes #nudeart #bnw #blackandwhite #ncmodel #travelingmodel #artmodel #moodyportraits #figureart #figurephotography #fineartphotography #fineartphoto

A fun experiment in a nylon body stocking – I’m obsessed with nylon textures and I wish I could play around more with this concept. With @chrisubik.bsky.social 📸 #artmodel #travelingmodel #fineartphotography #fineartmodel #ncmodel #blackandwhite #bnw #model #nylon

Here's me very oiled up before @chrisubik.bsky.social and I shot with candle wax poured over me. I will be bringing baby oil to figure shoots more often, thanks to this session. #fineart #fineartnude #figuremodel #figurestudy #artisticnudity #ncmodel #travelingmodel #artmodel

Me and the three people who read my skeets.

I haven’t been loving my Sony A7R III since purchasing it and came thiiiiiis close to trading her in this weekend. It’s kinda heavy and full frame lenses exacerbate that problem. So today I got myself something light and svelte: the 40mm 2.5 G. Totally changes the handling for the better!

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? While there is a 100% chance of rescue, it is equally likely that you will be exposed to shenanigans that will make you wonder if you were safer with the kidnappers 😏

This 2025 stop calling yourself a "content creator" You're an artist, graphic designer, a video editor, an entertainer, musician, a streamer, a cook, a craftsman, an animator, a storyteller, a writer, a painter, a woodworker, a tailor... You are not a faceless "content" machine.

The second floor of the #LEGO Jazz club is complete! I was going to wait until this weekend to complete the build, but I’m feeling bold in the new year.

every time I see a mutual post some piece of AI shit, I die a little more inside - why don't you just stab me with a fucking ice pick instead

If you’re excited for 2025 you’re a fucking moron. The Washington Post is going to announce a Democracy Summit hosted by Mike Lindell. CNN will give Bari Weiss a show called “Cancel Queen.” The January 6th Choir will perform live on CBS Mornings with The Piano Guys

The ground floor of the #LEGO Jazz Club is complete! I got this set for Christmas and as it is rainy today in the North Carolina Piedmont, I figured now is the best time to dive in. This set has three floors, but I’m calling it after one. The tips of my fingers are a little tender at the moment.

Last week, Megan and I went to Disney World to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary. Not only that: we did so sans child! Which honestly was a very mixed bag. I enjoyed the freedom to move at the pace my 55-year-old frame was comfortable with, but I missed having her there almost every moment.

A Happy Holidays to all 🖖🖖😁 #StarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks

Merry Christmas to all

this is put very concisely and I just wanna report from middle age that you can fight this within yourself. it happens! you soften! but you just keep checking in with yourself and being sure that softening is toward people who are threatened, who have it worse than you. simple internal housekeeping!

This is a great reminder that "Christmas in Prison" is the greatest song ever written, and I'm grateful for the seasonal aspect of it because otherwise I would be singing it until the words lost meaning.

If this is a difficult season for you I want you to know that the band that had a hit with the blender song in 1998 thinks you're alright

How’s everyone’s Tuesday night? Mine is a’ight, I guess 😏

This is me, tomorrow.

On @reactorsff.bsky.social we've got Boimler's transporter twin, Dr. Garak, Holo-Bashir, T'Pol, Curzon Dax, Engineer Mariner, and nine Harry Kims! My review of the single nerdiest episode of STAR TREK ever produced, LOWER DECKS's "Fissure Quest." reactormag.com/tv-review-st...

She’s heeeeeere! Everyone give a warm welcome to the subliminal seductress herself, North Carolina’s very own @ivysublime.bsky.social If it was possible to have a gif AND a photo on this skeet, it would either be Kermit going nuts or the Carlton Dance. #burlesque #BurlesquePerformer

Who is up for a lovely capture of Miss Candice in my signature monochrome? I love me some short lighting, but we were time-limited and didn’t get more than a few captures. Something for next time! #burlesque #BurlesquePerformer

I wrote this a year ago, and it's even more relevant today: If 2034 sounds like a long way off, just imagine how extensive that time will seem to the innocent Saudi Arabians currently imprisoned for their words, and who will likely remain behind bars well after a winner has been crowned.

Miss Candice wanted promo photos for her birthday and who am I to deny such a reasonable request!? These are early edits from a few hours ago. #burlesque #burlesqueperformer

In evaluating whether Jesse Singal is acting in good faith, compare and contrast how he portrays criticism here vs. what he does with it when he takes it back to Twitter to his fans there.
