quick snap of Pittsburgh last night

I found this cute little guy while walking to the beach.

I couldn’t figure out what bag I wanted, so naturally I made a spreadsheet out of the Coach Winter ‘86 catalog.

I found a very best Graflex RB D (3x4) that I’m going to try and restore.#l Curtain is intact but jammed. Body is a mess of temporary repairs. I decided to remove all the pealing leatherette and finish the mahogany underneath. In-progress pics and originals.

Interesting article. fstoppers.com/street/it-en...

digital vs Polaroid: headshot edition

Dug up some photos I did with @beayork.bsky.social in 2023. Makes me want to travel again!

I’m proud of this one. I took it on a 1940s #Graflex Series D that I converted to a modern #Polaroid 600 camera. #Rollei #Heidosmat projection lens. Model: @sapiotextual.bsky.social

This is inexcusable. Full stop. But we also can’t have this convo without talking about predatory academic publishing at large: pay-for-play journal mills that exploit those desperate for publications to convert desperation to revenue. We’re not talking PMLA and Critical Inquiry here— (yet?)

There’s about a million step to creating a darkroom. One more finished!

How did I not know about this?!

Worth trying to fix the vinyl?
