All photographs are memento mori - Susan Sontag

Found out today that Ron Howard did a documentary on Richard Avedon. I need to see this!!! Hoping it gets general release. I would a Love to go see this in a theatre!

. Allowing corporations to be involved in politics is literally the reason why politicians care more about companies than people now. .

What's an exhibit you saw that you felt only you got? Years ago I saw an exhibit that at first looked like pure black photos. I stayed in the dimly lit room until my eyes adjusted, no one else did. They came and left almost immediately. But you had to invest time to it. Wonderful seascapes at night.

#DEVASTATED ...there will never be another one quite like him. 💔

It is never a long wait for me to start hating meta all over again.😒

A top contender for funniest sentiment in all of classified ads: "Don't try to lowball me -- I know what I got!" The bottom line is that what you got is never worth more money than someone else is willing to pay.

I love this.

To eat flan or not is the question. OnlyFlans anyone?😏

Been thinking about models. Those I've done tfp with way far back. Was always perplexed when some would stand stock still when the camera came out. And they would say tell me what to do. I always wanted to tell them, you're the model, model! Hated that! Does not happen with paid models.

Travel day ama. Go on what questions do you have? Will answer almost any question. Photo of the gorgeous @haleyvalentiine.bsky.social for interest. Enjoy🤙

This may be an unpopular opinion for, but why post a b&w and color version of a photo? Chose one for that image to share. I feel that having both dilutes the impact. Not talking about togs who are posting to see which works better. I'm talking about folks who post a bunch of them just to post.

I'm agin it. Meat in lasagna? Agin it. Cold brew coffee? Agin it. Cold regular coffee? Pass. Cats and dogs making out? Agin it. Musk "stop gatekeeping punk"? So very agin it. Posting black and white AND color versions of the same photo? Yep, agin it. Gerbils and hamsters in the same cage? Agin it.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

Best kissing scene in a movie? Hands down Jumanjii knocks it out of the park🤣

This is Wynn. She insists on her human's full attention before jumping into the water. Not gonna do anything fancy, just likes an audience. 14/10 (IG: wynn_thegolden)

I don't have all the answers. I'm surprised I have any at all.

Today was a humpday of desires lol. Started thinking about using a large format camera, then figured a large sensor camera, like a Hasselblad X series would serve my purpose. My purpose? Maybe doing landscapes. It's a sickness. A dumb sickness. Thinking that equipment will bring a breakthrough. Toys

I have only had the chance to work with @katerimodel.bsky.social twice now, and I hope for more. The energy she brings to set is addictive! The hardest part was choosing final images (I am not done editing lol!) #photography #model #muse #art

Not your average maternity shoot😜 I loved every minute of it! Got to create with so much freedom and expression. We created some amazing art the other day. It was such a refreshing pleasure to work with a photographer like this. 📸: @marcmanchester.bsky.social #maternityphotos #pregnant #moodyshots
