Starting a new Substack series: Photobook!
I take so many photos for the joy of it.. & have no idea what to do with them. This is a simple way for me to showcase some of these shots, w/ themes.

Earlier this year I started up a #Substack in order to push myself into writing more and sharing more of what I write -- I wrote this a few years back, but I'm still really proud of it.
It's a discussion about #creativity, ego, and identity:

Things I had to let go of to grow as a photographer.
A personal observation on self-doubt, perspective, and getting out of my own way since starting my photography business.

Moravian Stars hanging from the bridge in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Went on a short roadtrip with my partner from Wisconsin to North Carolina. I'd never driven that far on my own before, and I've never seen a mountain range in person before!
I took this phone photo in Appalachia. I also took some film photos at this spot and I'm really excited to develop the roll~

AI is the new Dot-Com Bubble. There's no point in every damn service having it, but they'll do it if it tricks a few idiot tech bros into buying their shit.
Anything to avoid paying real people for the art & aesthetics that their products require to thrive. #fuckai #humanmade #noai

Looking at you, musicians who were totally cool with using AI to make your album art. :) Karmic.
Everyone else tho, I'm so sorry. Another disgusting overreach of AI. Fuck you, SoundCloud.

It might not have been a good idea to look at visual size comparisons of the world map to use for my TTRPG worldbuilding at midnight.

Corporations seem to really not get that “cyberpunk” is a literary genre about anti-corporate rebellion in a dystopian wasteland of extreme disparity between the wealthy elites and the common folk, between the empowered and the powerless…
…and not just “when stuff is cool, but in a tech way”

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.
I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.

I stumbled on the TT Live of author LaDarrion Williams talking about his book 'Blood At The Root' - He was literally the sweetest person, answering some Qs for us commentors and talking about his experiences as a Black writer.

📚 Started reading "She Who Knows" by Nnedi Okorafor today; I'm halfway through and I'm amazed by how much futurist worldbuilding and dark mysticism Okorafor was able to pack into the first 70 pages! ❤️🔥
