Hey all…. Just left X due to the corruption and misinformation mill that it has become. Had a very different profile over there. Here will be my posts on my hobbies and all the good in the world. To start off, here is the full moon from Friday the 15th.
Acquired some beautiful old cameras in working condition. Doing some test shooting. All shots taken with a 1952 4x5 Graflex Crown Graphic camera with different film backs. The selfie is using a 4x5 Lomografloc back shooting Instax Wide film. The other two are 120 shots home developed and scanned.

Alice Brock, whose Massachusetts diner was immortalized in Arlo Guthrie’s 1967 song “Alice’s Restaurant,” died on Thursday — just a week before Thanksgiving, the holiday during which the story at the center of the song takes place. She was 83.

I’m glad that Bluesky is taking off. I’ve resisted migrating from Twitter for a while because nothing else has felt fun. But the vibes here—now, at least—are genuinely good. I’m rooting for it to get even better.

From a morning walk with my Flat Coated Retriever Oliver a few weeks back. Sunrise bursting over the trees and reflecting off the lake. Deep black and white monotones. Trees, water brush and long shadows adjacent to a long lake.

Morning walk with Oliver my FCR. Sunrise from behind and abandoned hospital building with deep tones of orange below gray clouds. Sun hitting the bottom of high clouds near the top of the image.
