From October at the Mountain Workshops, these guys are from PSU. Could have stopped these down - switched from Frankenstein to HP5+ - literally ran between my hotel & this spot to load more film to take these. Yeesh.

Erred on the side of overexposure. HP5+ at 400, 1/60, f/16, a 400ws flash at 1/1 with an umbrella reflector. Could have stopped down to f/22 & framed more carefully. Ah well, the impulse to nab a couple of Xmas Eve Breakfast pics on 4x5 was one I’m glad I followed.

4x5 run & gun indeed.

Mother in law called me a week ago to request I make bananas foster for dessert today. Something I haven’t done for her in…10 years?

Vegan until served over dairy ice cream for her & my wife & BIL, mine was over oat milk ice cream.

Got to use my fancy new electric 🔥.

Just a man enjoying dessert.

At MIL’s for Xmas today.
“Did you bring your camera?”
“…yes.”

I have a Charmera, OM-1, Zf, and Pen F with me.

I would not have all these but for employee purchase discounts and a situationship with my credit card…

Anyway I’m getting photos of the family pupper, a Golden named Heidi.

IT’S PICTURES! not bad for having sorta guessed at the indoor pic - 400, 1/60, f/16 and a full power 400 w/s flash with reflector

Playing Xmas Eve Is It Pictures?

4 frames of HP5+ - two from October and two from this morning.

Hard to see at this distance but I am definitely shirtless and holding a bedsheet by some trees in one of those photos. I think that year I decided to embrace my pushing 40 softness and just roll with it.

Volunteer on call shifts last night and tonight.

Strangest thing is twice this year while I’ve been on call people in my life have disclosed years (or decades) old experiences of sexual assault and I’ve used the skills from volunteer training.

World’s a messy place, but better with you in it.

It’s here—a Christmas Eve Eve Eve miracle 🎄

Gay Poems for Red States is now live on Audible.
I recorded it in studio and narrated it myself, which means Appalachian poems get an Appalachian voice 💙

iTunes, Amazon, and other platforms coming in the next few days!

Thanks, Dynamix and MAS Comm! 💙

She did. She got my brother to get a blutooth speaker from his car and when she announced that the adults should open their gifts she started blasting Nickleback
I think my wife is gonna “Look at this photograph” to my fam when we give these out tonight
Mox and I visited two Goodwills and a Michael’s for framing supplies. Some are easier to repurpose than others but we did find some gems and did not buy the obviously haunted long white frame with matt for 3 4x6 infant hand or foot prints, still present but cockeyed behind the matt.

The thing that all #ShittyCameraChallenge contestants know—and which vanishingly few camera publications understand—is that any camera can yield interesting images if you work what it is instead of punishing it for what it is not, and if yours can't yield interesting images it might be a skill issue

Going to list these before long but if you've any interest I'll sell'em for what I paid and you pay shipping. US-only probably makes the most sense because we've wrecked international trade relations.

*$20-30 trigger ope.

Tested the Nikon one with my Hotshoe-PC cable and a rando film slr was firing the flash wirelessly via PC port. This pleases me.
Baby’s first Godox product - iT32 with X5O, X5N - a usb charged flash with a removable, magnetic hotshoe wireless transmitter. Appx $80 for the flash, $15-30 for the transmitter

Not replacing my Westcott lights but tossing these in the bag for size. I can pocket the flash and take it to dinner.

Sometimes I skeet a Freud joke and sometimes grainy film pics and sometimes I write about toxic masculinity, coming out pan, and the importance of self-compassion and that I’m working on it.

Like it or not this guy owns too many cameras.
