I believe that large format photography exists to keep me humble. Even with a checklist I underexposed the shot of the dandelion because I forgot to account for extension factor. Luckily the scan is okay. Graflex RB 4x5, Arista Edu 100 ISO, df96 monobath. #largeFormat #antiquePhotography #film

Caturday cameo by one of my common studio visitors. #caturday

Polaroid J66 from the hoarder collection. Produced from 1961 to 1963, using Type 40 roll film. It is a shame there's no new film available for these. #polaroid #photography

Me and my friend's little photo show happened! It's up at Roboto for the rest of June! It came together!

it's not done because I'm probably going to keep messing with weathering but here, it's done annoyingly I was thinking this would be a good candidate to photograph outdoors but it's supposed to be cloudy tomorrow

This rascal squirrel dropped an unripe mulberry on me the other day during my regular walk. At least they repaid me by posing for pictures.

I entitle this photo essay: nom. #cats #workFromHome

This is amazing. Note: Lots of math, plus orbital mechanics.

Not all of these antique cameras are in serviceable condition. This one has bad separation between lens elements, a sticky shutter, a totally shot bellows and no ground glass. The condition of cameras in this collection truly runs the gamut. #antiquePhotography #5x7

Developer all over the floor of your darkroom? Spill issue.

You got your sword from a stone? Fuckin weird, I got mine from the King Store. They got all kinds of stuff that makes you the king

Today's camera foolishness: finally started making good photographs of the ~130 vintage cameras in trying to eventually get rid of.

Q: Are the snakes big? A: We have lots of different snakes. The quality of your work determines which snake you will fight. The better your thesis is, the smaller the snake will be.

Finally, budweiser camera, it is your time to... well, not shine exactly.

every single person who has read this synopsis has basically fallen in love with it and everyone who's seen the body of images is like oh damn yeah this is gonna be good

One of the hardest things to learn in photography is that not everything that is interesting to look at will translate into a good photo and some experiences are just yours to have with your eyes only

Did some camera testing slash photo experiments in the front yard today. My 1931 Graflex RB is a very strange beast to shoot with, but I'm happy with how these Instax frames loaded into the film holder turned out. Next test: black and white film in the studio. #antiquePhotography #instax

Lost the last two rounds of "is it pictures", but that wasn't a surprise. Four sheets of mystery black and white film fully fogged out, found in old film holders of unknown age (one standard 4x5 and on 4x5 graflex).

This is the greatest work of human culture

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

As every Star Trek fan knows, Dr. McCoy is a simple "country doctor" So he really should have been played by Karl Rural

The #SmallJoys keeping me aloft include the two cats in my house, and their passive participation in my creative process. The kitten is doing a great job keeping my older cat company after losing his other three cat friends within a year. They're both game to be on camera.

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.

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.
