I'm into books, cinema, comics, photography (both analog and digital -- street photography, being in the right place at intriguing times), weird fiction, zines... Grounded in the Pacific Northwest.

Me (with family member, whom I took the liberty of omitting); Jackson Glacier Overlook; Glacier National Park, Montana; Aug. 1969 -- returning from; or going to Canada. Right around the time frame when Jimi Hendrix was playing the Star-Spangled Banner, at Woodstock. #35mm #glacier #naturephotography

Photo by mom; at the rink, Clackamas, Oregon, ca. 1994. Wrestler, Playboy Buddy Rose (blonde hair), appeared in the background. Circa the time of the notorious knee attack -- in fact, I believe that's the late Shawn Eckardt (AKA Brian Sean Griffith), left. #analogphotography #negative #tonyaharding

Family triptych; 1960s. From a negative. I looked as if I was awakening from a nightmare. My father appeared as though he was thinking: What the hell did I get myself in for? #1960s #analogphotography #blackandwhitephotography #family #midcentury #negative

Parental slide photo: circa 1967; unintentionally surrealist. Switch the channel, and you might have seen footage of Haight-Ashbury, or of the Vietnam War... This was probably in our then-home in Milwaukie, Ore. #35mm #35mmfilm #1960s #analogphotography #blackandwhitetv #slidefilm #television

Since @rkinnett.bsky.social just posted the Heart of the Heart Nebula, bringing back my version. Ryan, my 10" RC doesn't have quite the resolution of that 30", but I shot dual narrowband and got more dust and O[III] LOL. 🔭
![Melotte 15, the Heart of the Heart Nebula, shot in dual narrowband, with a color palate that makes H-alpha gas look yellow and O[III] (ionized oxygen) appear blue. There are twisting pillars of gas and dust lit up by nearby stars. It's pretty out there.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pmz3kjyqwck3fl2nk4sqbgil/bafkreihdzw6e6kur23oz74hnpx3i5x3huch3odsxgbv7z33t5ty3dyntjm@jpeg)
