So excited to participate in the second @cozycollectiveak Artisan Market this next weekend and to bring along a great collection of new work that I’ve just added to my Alaska landscape series called “Resilient”! #artisanmarket #alaska #landscape #cozycollective #obscuraworks

Fairbanks to Nenana, Alaska Railroad, @hoodoobrew ChooChoo, 9/25/26. I surprised @nostalgia_a_la_mode with belated anniversary tickets for the HooDoo ChooChoo, a 4-hour ride on the AK Railroad with stunning fall views, #railroad #reflection #alaska #hoodoochoochoo #abstract

Hatcher’s Pass, 9/20/26. It’s hard to quantify the simple beauty of a fog-laden day that mutes the light and flattens spaces, but there’s a magical quality to this light. It sharpens the sheen on rocks, enhances the frail edges of dewy lichen & #alaska #fog #moody #talkeetnamountains #hatcherspass

Top of the pass, Hatcher’s, 9/20/2026. Love the subtle energy in this composition all the zigzags of the road and the landscape. Seemingly lonely and isolated, I snapped this one right between cars pulling through on either side of the shot. #hatcherpass #newtopographics #mundane #nature #alaska

Little Susitna, Hatcher’s Pass, 9/20/26. Took the slightly slower, much more exciting way back to Fairbanks, going up and through #HatchersPass for the first time in what seems like forever. I love how suburban sprawl immediately falls away to untouched wilderness. #nature #alaska #fujixpro3

#Chemigram on 1940s #Kodak #Velox paper. A pretty successful demonstration with four leaf prints done as chemigrams and chemilumens in a variety of methods, dev or fix first here or there, positive or negative reliefs, etc. pretty successful for a brief hour demo. #altpro #darkroom

Catch-all Drawer: locked away, but still dreaming. #Photogram with #Cyanotype notes. Still sharing some demo prints made within the last few weeks of my #altpro Handmade Photos class at #uaf ; really digging creating without expectations,

#Chemilumens on expired #Kodak #Velox paper from the 1940s. First: Polyacrylic Spray on leaf, transferred to paper, set to dry. Second: Gel medium coated around leaf. Both exposed in UV exposure chamber for 5-20 minutes. Got another set of oohs and aahs out of the students during this demo,

Belatedly sharing an awesome #pinhole demonstration during my #Handmade Photos course where I told the students this would be our Beastie Boys Album Cover shot. Some knew what I was talking about, others didn’t.

Autumn Leaves, #Chemigram on #Ilford Multigrade IV Portfolio Postcard Paper. It’s been an incredibly busy start to the semester, but I get to teach my Handmade #Altpro Photo course so the breakneck pace that I’m introducing processes to them has at least created exciting work! #darkroom #darkarts

Somewhere on US 287 in Wind River Reservation, #Wyoming. Pt/Pd Print over Pigment. Had a few issues with this one while working out the kinks before introducing this process to my students later this fall. #platinotype #altpro #darkroom #handmade

Excited to announce that two of my #mordançage prints will be traveling to Southern California as part of @thephotographerseyecollective “s(Light) of Hand 2026” Exhibition juried by @ann_jastrab ! On top of that amazing news, I’ve received Juror’s Choice!! #altpro #handmade #darkroom #filmisnotdead

Delphinium and Fireweed #Lumen, from 7/26. Never shared this lumen print that I made while fam was visiting! Shared with my cousin how to do cyanotypes on a blank apron my partner purchased and then because I liked the composition so much,

Just finished watching the #Akira rerelease with my son at the movies. So spectacular seeing it on the big screen, brighter and clearer than ever. Was like having one of our #dudeday hangouts when he was much, much younger. Loved it! #anime #dadandsontime #movies

Book 33 for ‘26: “The Wayward Bus”. Love the trashy paperback cover for this #Steinbeck novel! #literature #menread #readmore #physicalmedia

Watched #Bugonia earlier this week and was genuinely impressed by this twisty, #psychological #horror. Checked out from the #library.

Valdez Glacier Lake, 10/2025. #platinum #palladium print over pigment. Amazed at how good this image came out at a Pt/Pd print. Really starting to wonder if all of “Resilient” needs to be printed with this process as it compliments these type of muted color images so dang well #darkroom #handmade

J. Jason Lazarus @jjasonlazarus.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Book 31 for 2026 done: Stephen King’s “Misery”. I thought that “Cujo” methodically dragged out the horror page after page but this one starts at the first page and doesn’t let go until the end. Stunning. #books #menread #horror #stephenking

Sukakpak, Dalton Highway, 6/2026. Platino-palladiotype Print over Pigment. So in love with how this #platinum #palladium print came out. I’ve got a long way to go testing everything b4 I bring this process to my #altpro class, these first prints are coming out so spectacularly. #darkroom #handmade

J. Jason Lazarus @jjasonlazarus.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Excited to announce that one of my first #platinum #palladium prints has been selected as part of a curated museum exhibition at the Anchorage Museum! My print of Kluane Lake will be on display for the next two years in the “Grandeur and Grit: Alaska Highway” exhibit. #alaska #altpro #alaskahighway

Salisbury Beach at Dusk, #Platinum - #Palladium Print. Even better than the digital edit, this print has tonal gradient for days and I haven’t even dialed in the process yet! so excited to be working in a new #altpro #handmade #darkroom process!

Savage River, #Denali National Park, 7/2026. Although she didn’t peek out of the clouds that day, it was still a gorgeous day for a walk in the park. Every time I go, I’m reminded how gorgeous Alaska is. #mountains #arctic #alaska #nationalparks

Savage River, Denali National Park, 7/2026. While not really a “hike”, I still really love this simple loop at the beginning of the park and have always enjoyed its craggy rocks. This day, the #clouds were bold and expressive. #savageriver #alaska #denaliforever #denalinotmckinley

Just beat The World Next Door, a neat cozy dungeon crawler that’s sorta like Puzzle Quest. Played this years ago at #PRGE & immediately bought it but took me years to play it completely. Such is the life of a 40-something gamer who is a professor by day. #gamer #indiegames #switch

Seems like #Hiekes is doing the same thing. #AIads for the upcoming #political #primary in #alaska. Are these folks even #real ?

J. Jason Lazarus @jjasonlazarus.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Not to mention, with 2 weeks left until #primaries and suddenly a progressive #CarolHafner and #Southworth have come out of nowhere to muddy the waters, clearly trying to make a case against #rankedchoice #voting in #alaska.

J. Jason Lazarus @jjasonlazarus.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Anyone else starting to wonder how many candidates running for Governor, Rep & Senator in #alaska are just #AI ? The #republicans in particular are using #aiads to such an extent that I’m wondering if these #political candidates are even real. #politics

We’re now above 31 POUNDS of #homegrown #alaska #raspberries this year from our backyard #garden. This is insanity. We’re usually about 6-12lbs/year. Guess we’ll be making a lot of #jams and #jellies ! #harvest

J. Jason Lazarus @jjasonlazarus.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Although it might not seem like much, our humble 6x6” strawberry patch has produced over 3 pounds of #homegrown #alaska #strawberries this year, more than ever before. Housed in our son’s retired sandbox, I’m thinking this next year we may have to double our patch in size. #garden #arcticliving

J. Jason Lazarus @jjasonlazarus.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

From several weeks back: the family and I had a bountiful #morel #harvest this year of 45 POUNDS. Cannot believe we were able to easily find them for 4 weeks in a row in Interior #alaska.

Macro explorations, Georgeson Botanical Garden, 7/2026. Ttartisan 40mm Macro Lens on Fujifilm xPro-3. This fall, I picked up a budget-minded macro lens for my camera. I’ve never owned one, so I haven’t ever wanted to spend a grand on a first-party lens. #macro #flowers #alaska #ttartisan #fujifilm

Making a serious run in Shadow of the Colossus on the #ps3 and might actually beat it. Last time I played it was ‘14 & only got 2/16 colossi. Now I’m 6/16. Having lots of #retrogaming run with this one.

Salisbury Beach, Massachusetts. 6/2026. Fujifilm xPro-3. Dipped our toes into the Atlantic in the twilight glow. It’s been over thirty years since I’ve touched the Atlantic. Gorgeous as it may be, this coast is not my own and I feel out of equilibrium. #abstract #beach #splittoned #northshore
