My 'new' radioactive vintage lens has arrived. ☢️ I'm excited to see what it adds to my weirdness, or, what is removes. #Photography #Streetphotography #vintage #thorium #radioactive #radioactivephotography

I think I'm enjoying shooting at night more lately Its easier to be dramatic and abstract. Two things I love to manifest #Photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #meditation #Detroit

I've been finding myself in an abstract headspace - my favorite headspace. Sometimes it's there if I can quiet my mind a moment. "The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder." - G. K. Chesterton #Photography #color #motion #meditation #Detroit #abstract #red

It's been fun pausing at intersections when biking around. ALSO, it's a less conspicuous way to linger and observe, being on a bike. At least it frees my mind. #Streetphotography #color #blur #motion #city #Detroit #bus

The print studio had half off large prints so I got a huge blurry pigeon print 🐦 It's fascinating how much it changes from screen to physical. Try it if you haven't, it's a great experience #photography #prints #art #blackandwhite #birds

My night was saved by the green goo inside my tire tubes. It was quite a loud and weird event. Still not sure what I ran over and, who really cares #biking #bike #greengoo #tires #streetphotography

Think of universal matter, of which you have a very small portion; and of universal time, of which a short and indivisible interval has been assigned to you; and of that which is fixed by destiny, and how small a part of it you are. -Marcus Aurelius #Photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #Detroit

No tree becomes rooted and sturdy unless many a wind assails it. For by its very tossing it tightens its grip and plants its roots more securely; the fragile trees are those that have grown in a sunny valley - Seneca #Photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #meditation #Detroit #ford #power
