I had the best conversation with a "self-confessed" conversative. We love guns and explosives, but most people are not to be trusted with them. We agreed that religious dogma should have nothing to do with our government. He admitted that trans people have the right to exist.

People who knew me in my early 20s predicted correctly that I would have some serious luddite tendencies as I got older...... ......Movies are better shot on film.

The sad depressing fact that Frank Miller and Alan Moore were predicting the future in 20+ years ago hits way too hard tonight.

I am not a person who should nap. Napping leads to late night baking. This shit won't be ready to eat until 1AM, but it is going to be the bomb.

Walking in central park with my Nikkor 200mm f/4. People around me were geeking out about birds. When I explained I was looking for spiders one lady asked "What does a spider call sound like? How do you find them if they don't make noise?"

Sitting in this huge ass park in the middle of this crazy dense city I dream of building a hidden camp among these rocks. Sneaking out at night to witness the rise of fascism.

Macro photography in the wild is a lot like golf. You have a good slow walk with some pleasant surprises along the way.

I think most people have some conscious or unconscious prejudices. My whole adult life I have disliked the large majority of White South Africans I have met. Especially while living in South Africa. I can say "I have white friends from SA". It doesn't make me feel any better. Just a human.

Here is 4 more for the perfect number 8.
I will always remember each of these fuzzy buddies.

Hi my name is Reed and I'd like to talk to you about our 8 legged overlords. Spiders are by far my favorite photography subject. Each a frozen moment of a brief friendship with a wild animal.

From tonight's game of "Uncomfortably Close Portraits, Manual Focus Addition"
Brought to you by the Nikkor 200mm f/4, my favorite macro lens.

Vance took out the Pope. Who would have thought he might do one good thing for humanity. You know they'll find a way to put in some more "conservative" nut job.

Today while juggling: breaking new ground with backcrosses again finally, the park yielded two new friends and two new perspectives. From now on that is what I want to collect.

I just had a thought: What if the old Fascist playbook fails because they didn't count on the spread of information possible because of social media. They aren't creative enough to write new plays.

I want to believe that I will shoot film more if I start buying film cameras I've owned before or wanted when I was young. Maybe I'll only collect every Nikon F3 model. The seeming lack of desire for physical medium in art these days makes me reluctant. I'll just keep shooting what I've got.

I need my partner to need a new puppy like I do. Shaking the dead dog's collar to make the sound while crying alone isn't cutting it. This apartment is too damned quiet.

"Bottle of Scotch" is still a unit of grief in my world.

the last episode of White Lotus was the worst so far.

When you start buying Kerry Gold and expensive eggs, because you know "The Time is Short"

One of the most fun things about a past working in Hollywood is identifying props in movies and TV you've used in other shows. Thanks for pulling me out of the moment in such a special way "Reacher".
