I'm not saying the news wire photographers kept intentionally lining Trump's head up with the Easter Bunny's ears, but they were absolutely doing that

Hayes in 1878. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images)

Wedding photographer problems: after working through the years of Ed Sheeran first dance songs I hear "Shape of You" start playing when I'm not working and I immediately panic that I'm missing something because I don't have a camera in my hand.

Y'all, I am BEGGING YOU to turn on your alt text switch and alt text your images. Take the time, please. Make this place different in the ways that matter. It has gotten much worse, and we need to be moving the other way.

I had such a great engagement session today in Old Ellicott City! We started at @backwaterbooks.bsky.social & I had to run by after to pick up a few things ^.^ #queerphotographer #lgbtqweddingphotographer #bookhaul

A pile of stickers and books, including the top book which has a Progress Pride flag on it and the title "This Book is Gay" by Juno Dawson.

Yesterday I photographed a really beautiful elopement on the Mall in DC. Today I made the mistake of listening to some podcasts to catch up on the news. Ups and downs are definitely going to be the MO for the next few years.

Hey 2SLGBTQIA + folks! I'm waiving travel fees for queer weddings anywhere in the US. And if I can't do it I can help you find someone who can. I don't have as many photo connections in other marginalized communities but if I can help I will so reach out 🩷

The US is pretty cold right now in a lot of ways and I'm spending today in my warm, 🏳️‍🌈 home while editing a queer elopement from Dec, writing a new inclusivity statement, & focusing on the ways I can support myself & my communities. #queerwedding #youareloved #ISupportLGBTQIA

Hi hello, I'm Devon! I'm a queer wedding, portrait, & event photographer in Baltimore, Maryland. I'm not sure what I'm using Bluesky for but I think it might be my photo thoughts & the images I love that don't always make the highlight reel. IG & website for more! #film self portrait for fun.

This house on Falls Rd looks like it’s auditioning for a spot on 34th St., and honestly I would be willing to relegate at least one existing house to make room for them (realtor landlords, do better).

A Baltimore rowhouse decorated for the holidays, featuring a large pink flamingo in the yard, with lights draped all over the front of the house, and the illuminated words “Ho Ho Ho” with an inflatable Santa reclining on the roof. Also is that a Grinch I see dangling from the roof on a string of lights?

Looking back at some old work. These are from DC, November 2020 right after it was announced Biden won the election. Thinking about where we were 4 years ago, wondering where we'll be 4 years from now.

I have the most amazing goth drag dark glamour portrait session waiting for me in my editing pile 🖤

Black and white photo of a gothic drag queen. Subject has long, dark, curly hair pulled half up and is posing dramatically while wearing a black dress, long black opera gloves that go over the elbow, and holding a feather fan. Image uses an in-camera reflection to create a dramatic frame around the portrait.

I think people found social connection value on the internet before most corporations found monetary value in being on them. As platforms have shifted to profit off of users the majority of interactions have become an ask for time/$/energy. I think we trust the people on the internet less now.

I've been thinking about this with online dating too. In the "Oooh meeting a stranger from the internet for a date? Scary!!" days 20 years ago I think people were actually more willing to engage and connect authentically. Is the change because of platforms or because we as people have changed?

I think a lot about how different focal lengths impact a portrait, what focal lengths are traditionally used in photography, and how the way we expect to see ourselves in a photo has changed with selfies taken on cell phone cameras. 35, 55, and 85 shown here and an iPhone is generally what, 24?
