I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Anybody in Pittsburgh do 20th century historical dress and want some free portraits? I'm looking for folks to model some of the cameras in my collection, and they range from 1905 to 1975.

This is a great resource for those who need. There were a few in my area that I wasn't aware of. I bet those who need the assistance will find more locations as well.

A seagull resting on the rocky shore at Acadia National Park. Since this is 4x5, the bird is big enough on the negative to nearly fill the frame on 35mm. Shot with the 1850 Petzval lens on a Speed Graphic.

Spent the day developing my large format black and whites from my trip to Maine. Two film holders remain still, which should contain the most interesting shots. Learning some lessons still: I need to label the film holders, and I need to check some of them for leaks.

Back from a week in New England, and really looking forward to developing the film I shot. These are my phone pictures, but mostly I shot with DSLR, medium format, and large format.

one thing the liberal political class never learn is that basic-bitch voters don't perceive your sophisticated triangulation as giving the people what they want, they perceive it as you admitting the other guys were right all along — not just policy-wise but emotionally
One thing I’d be nice if Schatz and others acknowledged is that even judging their hard right turn on immigration in Spring 2024 on its own terms it failed miserably. In July when Harris took over Trump led on “immigration” by 9pts, by election day he led 13pts. At best it, electorally, did nothing

This is an amazing shot! Having shot a few cameras that old now, I will attest to the difficulty in framing and timing that had to go into a shot as amazing as this.
Wife brought her 100 year old film camera to that pirates game from a few weeks ago and she got this shot that's just perfect

I hold a very moderate position on immigration:
Anyone should be able to move to & from any country, for any reason, and reside as long as they like, so long as they identify themselves upon crossing the border.
