I see this all the time on photographer instagram and it’s so embarrassing.

One of the funniest things about this camera is that is has this little guide about ideal distances for foreground, middle ground, and background that’s made to look like a high tech digital display. But it’s just printed on there.

ArtPrize Awards last night. Good times. Bryan Cranston was there for some reason.

Update! It has been used before. Tucked into the manual were four lenticular 3D prints! Back when the camera came out you had to mail your film to a special lab and they would send these prints back.

It still had a roll of film in it with one shot left. Took a pic and carefully rewound it. Seems to be working fine.

I had such a fun time speaking at CreativeMornings GR last week. I talked about lasagna, overhead projectors, pennies, and river surfing. You had to be there. Thanks Brianna Kilgore for these wonderful photos.

Respectfully, no one has done more to expose others to the contents of his own mind than this guy.

Found a pretty crazy copy of Catcher in the Rye at a second hand store.

If this ever happened to me I think I would disassemble every set so that I could put them back together. Building is the fun part. Getting a set that's already made seems like a bummer.

Some pics I took using the lens I made out of pvc pipe. I think I’ll made a video about it soon.

This reminds of that bit in The Simpsons where Bart is watching a poorly colorized old film to steal romantic lines to trick his teacher.

Facebook Marketplace is a goldmine for weird found photos.

Did you know that if you make a pinhole camera you can just as easily make it a double pinhole camera? Just poke two holes instead of one.

Shot a roll of Harman Switch Azure. It's an experimental 35mm film that deliberately swaps blues and oranges while leaving green (mostly) alone. These are barely edited, it just comes out like that.

Who is the person who pays fifty-five United States dollars to watch I’M GONNA GIT YOU SUCKA? Does this person exist?

There are really good movies on Kanopy. Get that library card out.

Found an incredible image on Facebook Marketplace. I love this so much.

Here are some photos I shot at Gen Con on Kodak Tri-X 400.

They can’t stop you from going outside and taking a picture of a cloud.

Are these basically the same thing? For example, could I use these in Thai recipe in the same way?

I think of this tweet every time Bluesky spends an entire day melting down over a shitty opinion piece in The Atlantic. You're being trolled. Just close the tab.

Made a homemade lens for my Nikon F2 with some junk I found at the hardware store. Pics to come once they’re processed.

Incredible eBay ad I just got on instagram. I swear I was not searching for guillotines.

I’m in a facebook group for people who are into old Nikons and bunch of old photographers are posting photos of themselves with their gear. The style inspiration is off the charts.

Maybe this is the weirdness of a primary, but the conventional wisdom of Michigan politics is that Grand Rapids (where I live) is conservative, while Detroit and SE MI is much further left. But yesterday Detroit and the suburb counties went +6-7 for Stevens, while Kent (GR) went +26 for Al-Sayed.

I won a games of ARCS by @leder.games at #GenCon. It felt amazing.

The JW Marriott in Indianapolis has a curved, reflective facade. It concentrates sunlight onto a certain spot in front of the hotel. I accidentally walked through the beam and at first I couldn’t figure out why the sun suddenly got much hotter.
