If we had anything close to a functioning democracy, our best physicians and engineering assistants would be at this very moment locking the President away in a Moriarty Cube where he can endlessly post and golf and build ballrooms without endangering the safety of the real world.

A screen shot from the Star Trek: TNG episode "Ship in a Bottle" where Doctor Crusher and Lieutenant Barclay display the cube containing the holographic program in which they have trapped the nefarious holodeck character Moriarty.

Santa Monica on film - on a visit to Los Angeles, I took my #nikonfm loaded with #kodakgold200 to Santa Monica Pier one morning. These are the highlights. Developed and scanned by Englewood Camera, CO, minor color correction and cropping by me. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #35mm #filmphotography

Holy shit, I agree with Bret Stephens about something!

A few film snaps along @amtrak.com Coast Starlight from Oakland to San Francisco. I made these with the Kodak Ektar H35 half-frame point-and-shoot on Kodak Gold 200, and I’m learning a lot from the little camera. 1/ #35mm #travelphotography #travelbytrain #photography #filmphotography #ishootfilm

One more from my time in Iceland last year - Malarrif Lighthouse on the Snaefellsness Peninsula. I shot this digitally and played around with exposure & contrast in post to get a more vintage look. #iceland #travelphotography #photography #lighthouse #nikonzf #blackandwhite #artforsale #linkinbio

Another one from my week in Iceland one year ago! This is from the black sand beaches of Vik, just before sunset (which happens around 10:30PM this time of year!) I love the riders silhouetted against the glittering ocean. Prints for sale, link in bio! #iceland #photography #travel #horses #beach

My original black and white photograph of Iceland's black sand beaches in Vik. The sun has set behind the cliffs and a group of horseback riders cross the beach in silhouette against the ocean.

One year ago today I landed in Iceland, and spent the next week in continual awe of the landscape. This was one of my first stops - the Strokkur geyser in, well, Geysir. Prints of this photo for sale on my website, link in bio. #photography #iceland #geyser #artforsale #landscape #photographer
