Hey, if any of y'all need a business card to prove membership in ANTIFA, we can make it happen.

We can start one. Example organization activities:
Meetings every Tuesday at the garden. Might be harvesting peppers of something.

Check your telegrams for annual dues notifications.
Because the president of the USA truly believes there's an organization called ANTIFA, I guess someone should make one first. Ooooh, scary terrorists. Here's a mock business card on concrete blocks. Back side. White background with black text reading community gardens, practice nonviolence, feeding the hungry, providing childcare, monthly book clubs, free hair styling, job & skills training. the front and back of a business card for ANTIFA, an organization that does not exist in this reality even though Donald Trump is calling this organization a terrorist organization. While we do not know the color of the sky in Trump's world, there's no reason a made up organization can't have made up business cards. Front of the card is white text on black background, reading we are antifa ... meet every tuesday at the garden

Kind of funny Trump and his team would bluff and bluster using a parody of Apocalypse Now, a film with a plot within the context of the Vietnam War.

You know, the war where the US military ran away like losers after a senseless amount of death.

For World Photography Day, I did a still life.

Enjoy creating. Creating fights oppression. Creating fights fascism. Photography is a tool capable of defeating authoritarians.

Been practicing food overheads. Obviously not styling 😜

Both shot with natural sun light through a sliding glass window, but I manipulated the light to create both a darker, moodier look and one more light and airy.

Now Olipop has a go.

Gotta Be Younique, you know.

#photography #productPhotography #olipop #cherrySoda #cherries #typography
Mock ad for Olipop cherry soda. A red backdrop, with the can in the center, laying on its side. Cherries are lined up in rows, singles, at regular intervals, with the stems all pointing to the top left, except for one in the center top which is pointing to the bottom right. Faintly displayed diagonally between a row of cherries are the words Be Younique. No AI was used in the making of this photo.

Decided to go full on advertising with this photo.

They're not my client so I chose not to be bound by they're style guide. This isn't poppi's style, it's mine. Sorry, poppi.

Mock advertisement for poppi prebiotic soda. Yellow, textured, grungy backdrop. On the right side is a can of Lemon Lime flavored soda, with a large stenciled lemon on it, yellow on the can's majority green. At the top of the ad, a little hidden by the top of the can, is the word 'sodalicious' and lower down on the left is the phrase, 'a bit seditious'. No AI was used in the making of this photo.

Now this is more my style. This 1925 Singer, a 100-year-old sewing machine (that still works) demands a commensurate portrait style. Gotta highlight the wear and tear. Gotta showcase the immaculate detail work (check out that front plate).

I don't normally do self portraits. I prefer to point the camera outwards, elsewhere. But, whether for art or documentation of a time and stage in life, self portraits serve a purpose.

They're more impactful, rooted, and rich than selfies.

#photography #selfportraits #blackandwhitephotography
Black and white self portrait of a middle-aged Puerto Rican self-proclaimed photographer with a scruffy beard he wants to shave but doesn't care enough to actually go do it. Wearing a dark colored shirt. Backdrop is a white cloth with lots of wrinkles. 16x9 aspect ratio with the dude set off to the right side. No AI was used in the making of this photo.

Some fresh-cut flowers in my wife's (@rainbowyeticorn.bsky.social) old Romanian vase.

While the second photo (with the flowers on the floor) has a bit more traditional product lighting, I really like the dark stripe on the first.

No AI was used in the making of this photo. A white Romanian vase with decorations and pink roses affixed to the hand-painted body (painted with faint green leaves) with a red and orange variegated rose, a white rose, and several not-daisies (though they look like daisies) sitting in the top. All flowers are in full bloom. The vase is sitting atop an orange decorative plant pot turned upside-down and two not-daisies (though they look like daisies) being sandwiched between. The vase is well lit except for a dark vertical shadow on the right half, which the photographer really, really likes despite it being an absolute no-no for traditional product photographers. The background is something of a sage green with a light to dark gradient. No AI was used in the making of this photo.

The vase is well lit in more of a traditional product photography lighting style, with a shadow cast from the vase in the center off to the right side. Photo is in a square format.

My 1959 Canon P, always ready to put in work with some Tri-X.

As Jim Mortram said, "You can use [the camera] as a sword and attack people or a shield and defend people."

Today, we need to do both.

Have a blast on your hot holiday at the gates of the pool. We're sorry it's closed. The green water should probably be enjoyed from a distance anyway.

Sure, multiple complexes share it, but none of the tenants are rich enough to matter.
Swimming pool at an apartment complex, surrounded by a black fence. the gate is closed with orange tape blocking the access to the gate to show its closure. the water in the pool is as green as the small patch of grass within the fence.

One of my favorites: the 6x6 TLR 1954 Yashima Flex.

Only 1/200 at its fastest, the B doesn't work (though you can use 1/1 as a B with a release cable), the self-timer gets stuck, and you can feel a hitch/snag in the focus right at 1.75m, but she can still help make great photos.
product photo of the 1954 Yashima Flex Twin Lens Reflex camera, black with chrome trims, iso-orientation, on a dark blue felt backdrop. surrounded by 120 rolls of expired DC-4, some in boxes, some out of their boxes.

These gatherings really need to stop literally centering Donald Trump in the photos.

Stop it.

Put him off to the side. Trump and the US do not control the G7 or the UN or whatever multi-national gatherings.

Stop making it look like he does.

Real Madrid's French phenom Kylian Mbappe just went Nigel de Jong on Blanco's (Alaves player) leg, and could have done career-ending, life-changing damage. Deserves a serious, serious suspension at the bare minimum.

Severe, atrocious, disgraceful.
Kylian Mbappe, wearing the white Real Madrid kit, lunging in with his right leg, attacking Blanco, Alaves player wearing blue and white striped kit, as Mbappe's studs are going to strike just below Blanco's right knee, causing Blanco's right leg to buckle.

From one of this week's @merriam-webster.com Missing Letter puzzles (Quordle is fun, too).

Where's the lie, y'all?
screen grab of a m-w.com crossword puzzle, with clue 11 Across - Noun: "something doomed to fail" and the 5 letter answer is filled in with TRUMP.

Even he can do it.
