Pictured: Me with the camera looming over the Casse-Tete Ensemble, 2026.

Got to be part of / photograph an experimental music exhibition and then watch one of my favorite local bands doing a free show at Pride this weekend. This is some of the most excited I've been to get into edits in a while. I'm so lucky to have the community and friends to do this kind of thing!

Got a new wide-angle converter, not sure the ratio but it's this wide on a 28mm lens + crop sensor and these chickens seemed to like it. Pentax K-5 SMC-Pentax F 28-80 f/3.5 "Micador Super Wide Angle"

Basically my photographic process:

It’s gonna sound like I’m kidding and I am not kidding, and this isn’t everyone’s solution, but my posting philosophy will always be “you’re essentially getting this for free. Some of it is going to be bad. I no longer give a shit” and that’s calmed lot of voices like that in me

first round of pictures already for #shittycamerachallenge it’s a lot of #clouds mavica did okay, one disk started giving the format error again but switching it out started working with others. probably switched through 8 floppy disks on these flights

I had one shot at this. The bull was getting closer, and the camera struggled to find focus through the prism. I wasn't hanging around for a second attempt. #prism #photography

I went so off-brand in my first answer, rethinking on my way home I came up with: 1987 Jetta GTX 16V (Sedan) 1987 Jetta GTX 16V (Coupe) 1987 Ford F-150 (300ci I6)

Quoteposting because replies are turned off, but all Canadian carspotting people should take a trip to the Fraser Valley at least once so they can see people still dailying 35 year old Nissans.

There's a Skyline trying to crawl out the back, and a Corolla trying to climb out the top. I do like some of the styling cues, but the execution is always going to be bad in crossover proportions.

why are people arguing about bluesky this morning? it’s a rainy day. you could be out there getting drenched and falling ill

Oh hey, it's me! Hella 700FF with clear lexan covers to match the clear lexan rock covers on the headlights.

My platform for prime minister is that we should cap cars at something like maximum 1500kg, maximum 100hp/ton, and everything has to have friendly looking headlights, and then LRT and Bike Lanes everywhere.

I'd love to see a schoolbus yellow 71 labeled as an Eleanor tribute, but all we get is silver paint and goofy bodykits

Current setup on the 1987 1.6TD; got invited to a classic watercooled VW show last weekend and had to scramble to get it clean and running properly but it was worth it for the comments on the new Centras. #Weirdcarbs #Pentax #mk2vw

A good car event doesn’t just reaffirm that the culture respects certain approaches. It makes people ask real questions about why they like the things they do and whether it is possible or worthwhile to think about those things differently.

Like, why the fuck would I wash & detail my car, that I spent years building, to display in your show that you won’t even pay someone to make a flyer for?

It’s wild how prevalent this is in the car community I’ve skipped *every* local show this year, because of shitty Ai flyers & merch

Three times in the theater, at least yearly since then. Could have put any Mad Max, but Nux's journey is really important + MMFR doesn't have Mel Gibson.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

I'm solidly on team "if a four-door SUV is a coupe I will face God and walk backwards into hell" on this one tbh

Following a guy in an A-class or GLA or something weaving like he was drunk on Saturday night, and then I realized he had a TV show playing on the gigantic screen above the center stack.

I picked up the "Special Edition" DVD from the used video store after that post, rewatching it tonight!

No, I don't think I will come to the slop car cruise actually. This local club had real car photos to advertise cruises in 2024, and it really sucks to see them going with this garbage.

the Nine Inch Noize album has three tracks from Year Zero on it and that album doesn’t get the appreciation it deserves. First for being a good NIN album and second for recognizing that the George W Bush era was the start of a new, bad time in America and that the 2020s would be overtly dystopian.

I got invited to a show on the first weekend of May, and that's great except for the part where there's a huge looming deadline on getting the car clean, ready, and running proper again after 6 months parked!

*Guy who has a German-engined Ford with three timing chains, a Turbodiesel VW with 23:1 compression and a timing belt, and then a Canadian-built Honda because "you need something you can drive to work"*

Feeling like it might be time for a rewatch of this, it's such a viscerally grimy film + has a young Willem Dafoe being an absolute demon of a criminal artist. Always a fantastic choice!

This site sucks man

For International Women's Day, I need do no more than repost this banger by @longwall26.bsky.social.

Reject AI. There’s so much weird stuff out there for you to take real pictures of.

SFU on a quiet Sunday in January. Ended up near Burnaby Mountain picking up some used camera gear on a cold January morning, and figured I'd take the opportunity to get some shots of the original Arthur Erickson campus while I had it all to myself. #Pentax K-5 SMC-Pentax F 50 f/1.7

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

if you have a ring camera you are a child, terrified of the silhouette of a jacket hanging on a chair. you are lower than a worm to me. you have sold your soul to a devil that has offered you nothing in return

Oh, right, I shot the Mavica at that show last week, I should dump the floppies and do edits

The end-of-year photographer grindset videos on insta where they brag about making dayjob money by working more than dayjob hours are wild. I can work a day job and shoot bands for free and be happy with my life!

More show images from last night because @houseguestband.bsky.social is super active on here and put on such a great show! Check them out! Pentax K-5 SMC-Pentax F 28-80 f/3.5

@houseguestband.bsky.social at the Astoria! Some very talented musicians, thanks so much for putting on such a good show last night! Pentax K-5 SMC-Pentax F 28-80 f/3.5
