On nights and weekends, I'm a photographer, gamer, junior world traveler, apprentice hiker. By day I'm an old IT guy that makes jokes about fax machines and corded telephones.

These images were from a couple weeks ago, on a whimsical Sunday afternoon when @macabrebarbiee.bsky.social and I went exploring a vague idea with no direction. She, as usual, slayed out. My interpretations vary as the series undulated in my brain. More to come.

Back when it was Friday the 13th, I released a series of images on the evil platforms. But since it's now prime spoopy season, sharing with everyone here. More to come!

Because of the previously mentioned Shutterfest event earlier this year, I was forced back to FB and fell down that quicksand hole. I will have much to share here shortly, as soon as I finish gathering my things.

During #shutterfest back in April, I was invited to join a group theme shoot for the Seven Deadly Sins. Each model was given a sin and a color, shooters had lighting and editing freedom. What do you think? #envy #7deadlysins #stlphotographer #modelshoot

I'm too lazy to go create the meme, but all I can think of when I see all the hype for the S2:
Switch2 (2025): We have a gyro controller!
PS3 (2006): First time?

I received my @modelsociety.bsky.social book!!!! I've only had a few minutes to flip through so far, but I will be spending some weekend time really appreciating all the hard work that went into this. It's giving me some drive to do better so maybe I can land in the next edition. ;)

On my third drive by past the #PetrifiedDunes in #ArchesNationalPark I had to pull over and get a shot. It's just too interesting to not give it a go, especially when we had a couple of clouds over the La Salle mountains in the background.

We were hoping for an epic sunset for our one-chance at this location, and the clouds were giving promise, but as the sun lowered, the clouds to the west rolled in on the horizon and blocked it all. Such is the life of #landscapephotography. Exposure blend/HDR. #archesnationalpark #balancedrock #nps

I went to Utah and while we avoided the rain that soaked the midwest, we also avoided every single cloud in the sky. Lol (and any semblance of cell service). Anyway, here's my pano of the #GreenRiverOverlook in #Canyonlands #NationalPark

This is inspiring. Also, I will do a more thorough job of looking up judges up for (re)election in the future.
Here come the Judges who have judged Trump and Musk lawless.

This is a composite image. I got the shot of the Arch then got kicked out by the rangers unfortunately. So I went somewhere else to shoot the blood moon. Stitched it all together almost how I had it in my head.

One of my absolute favorite things about bsky right now is that I'm discovering so many amazing fine art photographers. It really makes me want to hit a desert with a model. I'm actually going to Moab in a couple weeks, but no model unfortunately. Next time for sure. :)

Hey @bsky.app, as I'm sure it's no surprise to you, users have lots of interests. What if we could save (bookmark, etc) the wonderful random posts we find to our own custom lists? Is that in the works, by chance?

I got the most flattering compliment after my pool match this week. I played a new-to-the-league guy, who after losing to me significantly said "your prowess really threw me off, wasn't expecting that." To be fair, I did play pretty darn well that night, and I could tell he was off. #poolplayer

Oh cheese and rice, we completely forgot to tell you about our #FeaturedDrink yesterday. A ChocoNutz Latte (pronounced like coconut) is a brilliant mix of #chocolate #coconut and #hazelnut and you'll be sad if you don't try one this week.

Shot back in 2009. Unfortunately the model, Megan Filth, is no longer with us. She was my first nude model and became one of my favorite people. Going through our work every couple of years is always inspiring, yet obviously sad.

When you don't put enough coffee in the machine because you're too tired to turn on the lights to actually see how much you put in already... Not a good start for Monday. I have tasty dark water, but man, I wish this were more coffee-y. #coffeefail #coffeelife #coffee

I found this shot from back in 2009 that I didn't originally like. I feel like I have a better eye now, so I gave it new life. It's not as heavy of an edit as you might think; experimenting with lighting setups can yield interesting results.
