Just brought this back from a gallery and wanted to share what this piece is like at true scale and not just on screen. It just hits different in person. Only one at this size (24x24") is available. Open edition prints are still available at 10x10" and smaller. #photography #impressionist #art

At it's core, this collection is about mental health. The photographs in PHASE are self-portraits in a sense as they relate to the emotion of the moment of my photograph. See the series at www.keith-michael.com/phase #art #photography #mentalhealth

I needed some fall colors to help me avoid the fact that it's at least 300 degrees outside in the Chicago area today. These are the kinds of photographs that you might get in Sunshine Club. Do you even Sunshine Club? It's what people do that are looking for a little brightness in their lives.

I believe #art is about the act of creation and not simply it's outcome. It's something that computers and those that control their models will never understand. I feel sorry for them. They don't get what it truly means to experience art.

When I first read Walden Pond decades ago, it reshaped my mindset. While the nature of me as a person ebbs and flows, I am once again centered on the importance of intention and the deliberate acts required to get the most out of life.

Keith Michael Photography @keith-michael.com · 18/05/2026

No matter what I am up to in life, I always come back to art. And now, as an older Keith, I've been able to consciously pair my #photography with a mindset that is intent on living deliberately through art.

#Foggy mornings in the #Chicago area are magical. The nature and architecture are perfect for it. And thanks to this guy that let me take photos before getting in the frame. Although... I like the one with him in it the best. #photography #bridges #art #fineart

I know it's #digital #photography blasphemy, but I love grain (noise, whatever) and have no issues letting my ISO be where it needs to for a shot. I don't know where we got this notion that every photo needs to be luscious, but I find beauty in it. #fog #art #fineart

It's my favorite thing now almost every day. Post AI content annnnnd BLOCK. It's helped what's left of my sanity.

I also block anyone that posts AI content, even if it's a reshare.

I have no desire to create widgetized #art, even though Blue Sky is exponentially better, it's still a venture capital backed company that doesn't have it's monetization figured out yet. So, posting will be slower. It will be more deliberate and focused on the work that I've recently created.

For this diptych, I've decided on a main run using Aquarelle. I think it will have a great dreamy look to it. These prints will just be available online until March 15th. After that it will only be available in person for a while.

Keith Michael Photography @keith-michael.com · 04/02/2026

When I do photographic prints, I tend to use Lustre Paper, which has an old-school RC pearl feel to it. When the image calls for uniqueness I use Pearl Paper, which relates to it's sheen vs feel. This paper has an almost metallic look to it and some images look off the chart with it.

Keith Michael Photography @keith-michael.com · 04/02/2026

Call me old school, but it gives people options when framing and over time when the edges of the paper might yellow from being in contact with mounting tape, it won't intrude as much on the main image. Once I got this right, I exported and then it's time to decide on the paper I am going to use.

Keith Michael Photography @keith-michael.com · 04/02/2026

Using Linux has freed me up to care less about the technology and more about the process and output, but I digress. So once I imported the images, I assembled them into the image size, here being 12" x 9" and then expanding the canvas to 11" x 14". I print with wide borders.

I get why other artists use the tools they do. My preference is to never use AI, even for masking. I don't care that it makes my life "harder" - I mean, this is what I love to do, so. This precludes me from using applications that embed AI into everything.

Keith Michael Photography @keith-michael.com · 04/02/2026

2/3 Unlike a lot of photographers, I rarely use a bitmap editor like Photoshop. I use GNU Image Manipulation Program for the moments when I need to get rid of the occasional smudge, but mostly it's used for stacking images like in this diptych. #photography #artist #art #bts

The juxtaposition of the bird on top with the raging river below was it. So I brought up the images in RawTherapee and started processing them. I prefer to do most of my work in-camera, including crop, double exposures and color adjustments.

Keith Michael Photography @keith-michael.com · 04/02/2026

There was life all around after a much needed rain, but I just couldn't find my message to convey it. As I now process the images from this session, which I remember well, I finally got at the heart of the moment. Going slowly through the images in XNView, I saw it.

BTW this isn't my actual camera. It's from this article www.k2-photography.dk/2018/12/13/c...

What was the first #camera you owned that made you want to be a #photographer? Mine was the #Canon Canonet 28. I loved this #rangefinder so much. Hundreds rolls of film through it. #Photography has been a part of me since the early eighties.

RT is definitely different but can be optimized. Have you tried @xnview.bsky.social for sorting? It's really quite fast. I also use it for importing and auto sorting my cards. It's batch resizing / processing is fabulous.
