Chris Ubik @chrisubik.bsky.social · 19/04/2026@ivysublime.bsky.social in natural light, killing it as usual. Most of yesterday's session was taken on film and I can't wait to see the scans. 1151

Chris Ubik @chrisubik.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Claire and I have been artistically collaborating for eight years as of last week. I always feel like I am cheating on her hair color when I shoot her in b&w, because the red tresses are just so gorge! Taken with my OM2n + 85 mm f/2 on, let’s say Kodak Gold 200. 081
Chris Ubik @chrisubik.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Claire, from the No I Won’t Shoot Your Indy Album Cover collection. Definitely taken with Acros 100 and my OM2n + 85 mm f2. 070

Chris Ubik @chrisubik.bsky.social · 16/03/2026One day I’ll remember to jot down the camera and lens I used, but today is not that day! So I’m going to go with: Nikon FM2 and 35mm f/2.8 (they were in my bag). The film is Kentmere 200. 051

Chris Ubik @chrisubik.bsky.social · 04/01/2026I developed film at home for the first time since the late 1980s today! The roll on the left is Tri-X; on the right is CineStill BwXX. Both were developed in CineStill DF96. The hardest part wasn’t developing, it was using a changing bag and getting film on the reels for the first time in 37 years. 040

I was very obsessed this timeframe with "anonymity" so I shot in wigs, accessories, and costumes that obscured my identity. This is what longterm collaborations between models and photographers will grant! #artmodel #surreal 11003

Chris Ubik @chrisubik.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I haven’t been loving my Sony A7R III since purchasing it and came thiiiiiis close to trading her in this weekend. It’s kinda heavy and full frame lenses exacerbate that problem. So today I got myself something light and svelte: the 40mm 2.5 G. Totally changes the handling for the better! 130
Chris Ubik @chrisubik.bsky.social · 05/01/2025You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? While there is a 100% chance of rescue, it is equally likely that you will be exposed to shenanigans that will make you wonder if you were safer with the kidnappers 😏 030
Chris Ubik @chrisubik.bsky.social · 03/01/2025Nope! I also have a dear friend who has never called me anything but “Cubik,” because that was my login name on the system he and I virtually met on over 20 years ago. It just bled over into real life. 010
Chris Ubik @chrisubik.bsky.social · 03/01/2025Yes! My burlesque buddy, Ivy, is forever Ivy. I know her government name, but calling her by it feels odd. I confessed that to her years ago and was assured that “Ivy” is fine. 110

Chris Ubik @chrisubik.bsky.social · 29/12/2024The ground floor of the #LEGO Jazz Club is complete! I got this set for Christmas and as it is rainy today in the North Carolina Piedmont, I figured now is the best time to dive in. This set has three floors, but I’m calling it after one.

Chris Ubik @chrisubik.bsky.social · 27/12/2024I also had my OM-5 with me, which I am still struggling to love, and my Panasonic Leica 9mm Summilux, which I unabashedly love. I primarily use the PanaLeica in my day job, but it was a fun experience going ultra wide in WDW. 020
