I cried for an hour and a half seeing my daughter after one week of being away. I leave for a month on Monday. Touring friends; how do you deal with separation anxiety?

Daughter tax:
The cutest tabby cat that has ever existed lays on a patterned alpaca wool blanket, looking back over her shoulder at the camera, sunlight illuminating a portion of her sweet little face.

@pompomsquad-band.bsky.social from Wednesday night 💖, thanks for having me!
Frontwoman Mia Berrin of Pom Pom Squad performs on stage, holding a microphone close to her lips while wearing a sparkling, textured outfit. In the background, guitarist Alex Mercuri plays under moody, atmospheric lighting. The image is layered with abstract projections of colorful geometric shapes and lines. Mia Berrin sings passionately into a microphone, raising one arm high while holding metallic pom-poms. The crowd’s hands reach up in the foreground, and another layer of the image shows a slightly different angle of the same scene, creating a visually striking double exposure. The lighting is rich with deep blues, purples, and oranges.

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money.
The album cover for Songs About Jane by Maroon 5. It features a stylized, illustrated depiction of a woman with long, flowing red hair adorned with small flowers. She holds a rectangular object, possibly a book or a box, close to her face with her eyes closed. The background consists of abstract black and red swirling patterns. The band’s name, “Maroon 5,” appears in white, uppercase letters at the top, while the album title, “Songs About Jane,” is written in a mix of white and yellow uppercase letters at the bottom. The artwork has an Art Nouveau-inspired aesthetic with bold lines and intricate details.

Art day art day art day!
(Abstract Art): A hand-drawn abstract artwork featuring organic, bubble-like shapes outlined in black, filled with shades of green, purple, red, and brown. These shapes appear layered over a wavy blue and green striped background, resembling a fluid, underwater scene. Small white highlights and reflections add depth to the composition. A pink marker and a piece of white paper are partially visible on the left side. A colorful, hand-drawn cartoon titled “Modern Romance.” The illustration features two anthropomorphized pink heart-shaped figures with exaggerated facial features and limbs. The heart on the right has long blonde hair, a surprised expression, a tentacles for arms, and asks, “Are those Jimmy Choos?” The heart on the left has short curly black hair, bold makeup, fishnet stockings, red high heels, and holds a small glass of beer and an iPhone while saying, “These are knockoff Crocs from Temu…” A chain of smaller hearts connects the two figures. Above them, the lyrics “[Apple Bottom Jeans… Boots with the Fur…]” are written, with “(plays in the background…)” underneath. The drawing is done in a playful, expressive style with bold colors and mixed media.

I think I saw somewhere that Go Mag posted this, but check out this poster made in 1982 by See Red Women's Workshop, a feminist screen printing studio in London. Lmfaaaooo
A red and green screen print of multiple people meeting as community on a street block. The featured subjects are talking, playing games, crafting, and riding bikes. In the top of the printed the words “Lesbians are coming out… in full force!” On the lower right of the print, a black cat with glowing red eyes remarks, “Lesbians are everywhere”!

A digitally distorted image of two dolphins in a vibrant, surreal ocean scene. The dolphins are in shades of blue and purple, with a rainbow-colored beach ball splashing in the water. The sky is a gradient of pink and purple with fluffy clouds. The water reflects the vivid colors of the scene. Overlaid on the image is a passage from Ezekiel 25:17 in bold, multicolored text: “And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.”

Some iphone photos from yesterday‘a meandering walk around Philly:
Two people stand on a city street engaged in conversation, dressed in winter clothing. The background features a closed storefront with a sign reading “Vineland Farm Eggs,” a red awning, and a mix of market stalls and discarded barrels. The lighting casts a warm, slightly nostalgic tone over the scene. Image shot on IPhone pro 14 max, by Mol White. A solitary figure in a plaid coat walks past an industrial-looking alleyway with a chain-link fence and a large dumpster (the shape of which resembling the much-debated Tesla cyber truck) tagged with graffiti. The photo has a surreal color treatment, with a cool, cyan tint contrasted by bright pink highlights on objects like concrete barriers. Image shot on IPhone pro 14 max, by Mol White. A high-contrast, color-altered image of pigeons mid-flight and pecking at the ground in front of a green-toned wall. The words “GO BIRDS” are written in white at the top, adding a playful nod to Philadelphia’s sports culture. This was taken by Reading Terminal Market. Image shot on IPhone pro 14 max, by Mol White.

Is anyone else noticing that Nnamdi can see the future? In 2020, he came out with BRAT, then Charli XCX in 2024. Then, the album art for “Please Have a Seat” (2022) looks eerily like the artwork for MM’s posthumous album, “Balloonerism”

My morning is spent reading in bed about Ohioan Cemeteries and dreaming of my own photo/research book like this
A white hand holds a book titled This Place of Silence: Ohio’s Cemeteries and Burial Grounds. The cover features a serene scene of a small, gothic-style chapel surrounded by tall trees, with a calm pond in the foreground reflecting the landscape. A white swan floats gracefully on the pond. Photographs are credited to Ian Adams and Randall Lee Schieber, with text by Robin L. Smith.

Some recent stills I’m happy with. Learning how to get back into the habit of unapologetically enjoying a thing and the process of learning and exercising that muscle.(the thing is impromptu portraiture)
Morning sunlight pools through three large windows into a cafe seating area. The patterns of light and darkness illuminate subtle details of the sitting room, including a paper pastry bag rolled up on a seaf bench, two facing benches with a table in the middle, and an antique bathroom sink repurposed as a planter of ferns and vines. An older white man smiles as he cleans a window in the morning light. The man is wearing a blue polo shirt and khaki pants and running sneakers. On his hands he wears rubber gloves. He is bending over and holding a squeegee above a white bucket filled with water. A group of people stand in unison to listen to and dance to musicians on a stage. The room is dark and the lights trail throughout the image. A person with short hair and glasses smirks at the camera. The person is wearing a short Edwardian-style white frock and a flower crown with antlers. Behind them, a table loaded with food and flickering tea candles and two framed wall adornments: an image of a calendar year with vegetables and a blackboard sign. The sign behind them reads, “welcome to our home! A couple of rules: #1 if you see pickle, leave her in peace. #2 please no shoes upstairs! #3 Be mindful of our neighbors (human + animal/insect) clean up your trash!”

Capturing family moments feels bigger than me—a connection to my dad and great-grandfather, both photographers. It’s humbling to continue their legacy.

❔What traditions or talents run in your family? Let’s celebrate them!

DM me about sliding-scale portraits in the park on Dec. 7th.
A white man wearing a tan sweater and blue jeans and white woman wearing a patterned blouse and green slacks walk hand-in-hand in front of their new home; their Pembroke Welsh Corgi leading the way at their feet. Behind the couple, a neighbor’s white house and the canopy of a tree with vibrant autumn leaves are illuminated by the setting sun. In front of the couple, their tan home with dark green shutters sits comfortable nestled in shrubs and fall foliage. A tan, two story single-family home is in the forefront. A black front door is framed by two conical shrubs and a variety of pine bushes. The house is nestled in autumn foliage. Above, the sky fades from blue to white as the setting sun’s rays disperse the remaining daylight. A woman, dog, and man sit together, smiling at the camera. From left to right: A white woman with medium length blonde hair twisted back and down, wears a patterned blouse and green khaki slacks sits smiling with her arm holding on to her Corgi. The corgi is framed by her people and sits demurely smiling to the side, and places one paw on her “dad’s” leg. On the right, a white man with salt and pepper dark brown hair and dark framed glasses wears a tan v neck and blue jeans, sits smiling at the camera with his arm on her back. The couple sit on cement steps leading their front door. Graphic of a flyer made for “Seasonal Portraits in the Park”. The graphic is tab, red, and dark green, and has a pattern of a camera, a seasonal tree, and snowflakes. There is information about an upcoming sliding scale portrait session in a local Philadelphia park. Text description: “ celebrate the season with professionally curated and edited portraits for just $20-$45 – you choose what works for you! Bring your loved ones and spread some holiday cheer with beautiful, affordable portraits in the park.” Date: Saturday December 7th, 2024. Time: 11:30am-2:30 pm. Location: Dickinson Square Park, 1600 E Maya Mensing Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19148. Camera emoji and text “spots fill up fast – secure yours today! “ At the bottom of this graphic is a QR code to the event sign up page.

Awesome show last night at Franklin Music Hall for the reunion of The Dillinger Escape Plan.
Peep Ben jumping from the balcony at the last encore: then the band brought their kids to the stage, kiddos got to stage dive and all of Philly celebrated Liam’s daughters 10th birthday
