do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"

Glad I bought the lomograflok, but now experimenting with 3d printed frames so I can load instax sheets into 4x5 film holders. I'll still need the lomograflok to develop them though. It will add some steps to the process, but let me use non-graflok cameras for instax photos.

Instant gratification rules actually, except in photography where we should all wait to develop film and make prints.

Turns out the Mamiya C330 is pretty fun and easy to use when the lenses and shutters are clean and operating smoothly.

Ep2 of ST:A I hate the leaders calling their adult cadets children. It is frustratingly disrespectful. Jett Reno continues to be a gift. A Betazoid without the black eyes? I wish they kept that physical distinction. Some good gags, some bad.

one of my most popular designs

Good turnout at Philly #NoKings. Had fun talking with a LOT of folks and shooting portraits of some real characters. I was surprisingly mobile with, um, 3x LF cameras, 2x tripods, and several more small cameras!! 😅 shot some film, paper, and DPP. Hope something comes out! #BelieveInFilm

Mine is the story of a person who had 5 cameras and wanted two more, but ended up owning 136 instead. This is a cautionary tale. I swear I just wanted a Pentax 6x7 and a Graflex Speed Graphic, but they were part of a lot the seller insisted on moving all at once together.

I'm not really qualified to assess whether clinging sullenly to a child's book makes you a bad person, but I do think it makes you timid, incurious, and dull. It makes you someone who will sacrifice other people for a memory of comfort. It makes you untrustworthy and weak.

In case you were wondering, Project Hail Mary good. Very good, statement.

oh the horrors? have you tried analog whimsy? whimsy analog offline slow hobbies? whimsy. WHIMSY.

I'm going to do everything in my power to make this one of those weekly memes.

Every dumpster truck you see is an assertion of this false universe where Elon is smart, artistry doesn't matter, the driver is tough and cool, and apartheid's reign will never end. It shouts "THESE ARE NORMAL IDEAS" to all who see it, trying to impose that world on this one.

Okay, I think I like these designs better? The Mothra symbol was most complicated, and I'm still not totally satisfied with it. I think I want it to look more like the version of the symbol they make out of tables, with the antennae-esque S-shaped sunbeam lines.

Proud of some of our Pennsylvania reps for seeing and speaking the truth, and for advocating for the real solutions.

Shocking news out of Minneapolis Joe and Eileen Bailey, the imaginary, middle-class Long Island couple @schumer.senate.gov consults to make political decisions, were killed by imaginary ICE Agents I use to try to get Chuck Schumer to understand the historical moment we want him to respond to.

A photo from a lost roll from Acadia, now found and developed. Definitely among my most fortuitous shots; this spot was crowded, but people moved back just long enough for me to snap this rainbow & sunset. Pro Image 100, Pentax K-1000, 24mm lens. #pentax #filmphotography #35mm #sunset #rainbow

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

Make a statement wherever you are with these stickers! 10% of profits will be donated to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

Abolish ICE is the conservative position. Immediately trying ICE agents and DHS leaders for their crimes and abolishing the org is the moderate position. Anything to the right of abolition is fascist.

i only want to hear about what a DHS spokesperson says if it's some variation of "ow ow ow i'm being crushed by this giant car crushing machine"

It's STFU Friday. Refresh the script 👇

It's always been abolish ICE. For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency. I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.

My 18-year-old cat is having a sudden and severe health crisis. He's been my companion through a lot of important and difficult stuff, and I'm hoping we can help him. Photo below from better times.

Re: off-ramps and inclusion for former Trump supporters: You are welcome in my tent when you own the harm you've contributed to, express genuine desire to do the work to help fix it, and back that up with action. That's... actually not a lot to ask, considering. 🤷‍♂️

Post a car picture you took.

Pittsburgh take note. The answer to people relieving themselves on the streets isn't to remove the people it's to provide restrooms.

This time, I'm going to remember the #ttrpg and #ttrpgs tags. For the uninitiated, Swords Without Master is a sword & sorcery game that focuses more on the gigantic meloncholies and gigantic mirth of adventure rather than the to-hits and damage.

Test shot of 100ISO 4X5 film in my Speed Graphic with adapted 1850 Petzval lens. I need to improve my developing method for 4x5 film, but the setup is working. Walked 1/2 mile in the snow with 20kg of gear for this. I need a lighter tripod or closer subjects in the winter. #antiquePhotography #film

Me, sitting in front of my computer, overwhelmed, under-rested, with a brain that's being slowly poisoned by a constant infusion of infuriating, terrifying news and clumsy fascist propaganda masquerading as news. "Boy, I'm having a lot of trouble focusing today!"

I simply wish to go back to the desert. #desert #landscape #photography #pentax

I am glad I decided to stop attending TTRPG cons before the onset of COVID. At my last big one, I extended the trip by a few days and spent those taking pictures in beautiful places. It was so much less stressful and more fulfilling I ultimately forsook the cons in favor of photo trips.

Today we honor the legendary Nichelle Nichols on her birthday. As Uhura, she didn’t just help define Trek, she changed the future. Her impact reached far beyond the screen, partnering with NASA to recruit women and people of color, shaping a real-life space program as bold as the one she imagined.

Had a good Christmas with the family, pestering everyone with my new Lomograflok Instax back for the Speed Graphic. Glad to have a new way to shoot with the old gear, including >150 year old lenses. #lomograflok #graflex #instax

Tis the season! youtu.be/26H_xWocEss #ds9 #christmas

Lab scan of one of my sunrise shots from Acadia National Park. Still need to send the camera for servicing so the frame counter will be correct. Pentax 6x7, Takumar 200/f4, Portra 160. #pentax #6x7 #mediumFormat #filmPhotography #sunrise #nationalParks

Today's photo adventure, testing the limits of my speed graphic setup with some 100 speed film. When the sun came out it metered to about 1/1000. I shot another in partial cloud at 1/500. Looking forward to how they turn out. #antiquePhotography #largeFormat #filmPhotography #4x5 #graflex
