Hello from the Providence River pedestrian bridge, where the Providence Drum Troupe does their thing for anyone who wants to tune in. #filmphotography #providenceri #analogphotography #35mm

behind where the k-mart used to be //
a section of disconnected greenway //
where I stood in the water under the bridge //
where my eagle scout project stood, then mysteriously disappeared

Courtney Barnett’s Green River Festival performance was everything I could have hoped for and more. Favorite songs across all her albums, two (!!) new songs, and an amazing backing band with Stella Mozgawa and Bones Sloane. Sound quality was perfect too.

Providence friends: if you are in town consider coming and checking out Porchfest. Free neighborhood music festival with performances from over 100 artists, all over the East Side. I made this flier for the stage that we’re playing at.

I came across a roll of black and white film from 2023 I’d forgotten to get developed. Looking forward to getting back to the coast now that the weather is marginally warmer! #rhodeisland #filmphotography

My first paper, from a national lab internship in the mid-2010s, was published in a journal called Homeland Security Affairs. I was checking links for my CV today and found this: (1/3)

There are a lot of things happening right now that are taking a lot of my mental attention. In the meantime though I came across this mock-up I made converting one of my black and white film photos to layers for screen printing. Haven’t printed it yet but thought I’d share anyway.

Late afternoon looking out at the water from Warren, Rhode Island, as a folk festival plays on behind me. August 2024. #filmphotography #35mm

Sometimes mistakes in photography can still turn out interesting. These photos were super overexposed, and still don’t exactly look how I want them, but at least they are interesting. I had to ramp up the contrast and black point, and do some denoising in Pixelmator. #35mm #joshuatree #filmphoto

I took a side trip to Joshua Tree after a science workshop in Pasadena last summer, and definitely set the iso incorrectly on my camera. Not used to such intense sunlight!
