p1: Autumn is stewing on the couch next to a nonchalant but pleased Summer. Autumn is also wearing an extremely tall hat that reads “I got divorced at Slick Eddy’s Legal Hut and all I got was this sexy hat and also divorced.”
p2: Autumn snaps, Summer smirks. Autumn: The whole POINT is that it’s not true, you just don’t get it! Summer: Whatever you say. Poser

as a treat, here's the worst photo of the year so far that i still enjoy (i was trying to get used to the autofocus). there's something so funny about buying decal letters to spell out the name of the truck, which the manufacturer has already done for you
a Toyota Tacoma with a decal that says "TOYOTA TACOMA" and another decal of, like, a tiger or something with a trail of flames

yeah, it's the top part of a parking spot sign! also i kind of wish i waited for a train to go by to fill out the background but maybe the emptiness is what makes it compelling. images are strange

i've gone through all of my photos this year and this one from February is the the most "i can't tell if i like it or not". it's not making the Best Of collection but something about it still compels me... #coolpicturesbynicky

out of the first 3200 pictures i took with my new camera from february to the end of may, i'd say about 60 of them are Very Good. the rest range from Just Okay to Quite Bad. i've been editing all day and i'm telling myself to be okay with that ratio so i don't go insane

it drives me a little bit insane rooting for the team Kirk did while one of his friends plays on the team but if i wanted to avoid conservatives in baseball, i would have to stop watching baseball. it's crazy Shaw said this though. maybe focus on not being an automatic out first, bud
"One of the last things [Kirk] said to me is, 'Please, sir, save Chicago,'" Shaw recalled. "We're going to do that. We're going to save Chicago from horrible crime."

i saw a very old cat in a car and took its picture. the owner of the car & cat talked to me about how he loves hanging out in there to watch them do yardwork. trying to make art led me to make a connection with a real person in the real world! AI wants to get in the way of all that. no thanks!!

The crusaders.

'We make LESS but things cost MORE!' says Girl. 'RETVRN!' cries a crusading Cat. 'To when we made less and things cost the same! Weather is spiraling out of control - with 2 degrees of warming baked in.' 'RETVRN!' cries Cat. 'To weather spiraling out of control with 1.5 degrees of warming baked in' says Girl. 'People aren't going to the emergency room because they're afraid of immigration-' 'RETVRN!' '-they should be NOT GOING because they CAN'T AFFORD IT! Leopards are eating my face=' 'RETVRN!' '- to when leopards were eating YOUR face!' 'RETVRN to 2015!' cries Cat. 'Sound the battle horn!' yells Girl. Cat plays a long golden horn, which blasts out the sound 'GOOD ENOUGH.' 'Now we just wait for an army to assemble,' says Cat. They wait.

an AI agent can't ever do what i do, which is enjoy the process of creative work. generative systems may be able to make images and sounds but they won't ever be able to create the photos and songs that i can. software won't ever be alive the way i am. the computer will never replace me

I know I've been fooled in the past but I'm certain the next big thing in tech is a key chain with a screen and camera on it that allows you to verbally ask an animated creature questions in public. I cannot wait to give mine all my personal and financial information

it's crazy how much just taking pictures all the time makes you better at taking pictures? i've gone through the first 2 months of pictures from my new camera and it's like looking at someone else's work. also i didn't start shooting RAW until after the first month so i want to yell at them. oh well

i would imagine there's a type of photographer who hates fake film grain but the thing is: i don't care. fujifilm's grain effect is good and i like the texture. lately i'm shooting high ISO, turning down noise reduction to -4, AND adding strong+small grain lol

made an account on Cool Instagram (glass.photo), stuck trying to decide how much of my previous work to upload & how to organize it. i get so anxious about curation! it's kind of like how when i made a letterboxd account, i got overwhelmed trying to remember every movie i ever saw and gave up lol
