Like five different pieces I wrote for Netflix went live all at once yesterday. I'll take any chance I can get to write about Red Dead Redemption. www.netflix.com/tudum/articl...

I could tell you I'm very good at my job, but here are four others who can do it instead.

What stock you using? I've been on Arista Edu 400 pushed to 800 because it's only $6.50 for 36 exposures and has a ton of leeway. For example, Ronnie via a Nikon 28mm 2.8

I've been chasing a $200 invoice for *checks notes* 14 months. Pinged the EiC this afternoon, after being told in April he'd reissue a check, I'd just need to submit a new invoice. His response is the same as it was three months ago. This is why I largely stepped away from freelance editorial.

Happy 17th birthday to GTA IV and my writing career. How it started: sitting in a GameStop parking lot jotting notes from man on the street interviews into a 5-subject How it’s going: Chasing an invoice that’s almost a year old To date, this marquee copy is the biggest thing I’ve ever written

Idk if I’m doing this right but every time after I swim over 1k meters I get a massive burger, a beer and a shot. Here’s today’s, courtesy of Basement Burger Bar.

Swam just over a mile tonight. Was out of the pool before 7 and I’m still feeling it. Even taking it easy wasn’t easy. Woof. Progress though

Timothy J. Seppala @timseppala.bsky.social · 23/12/2024
Anyway, here’s my latest swim stats. New personal record for distance and calories burned. I’m off work the next two weeks and am gonna try swimming for an hour every day the pool’s open.

Was in New York in September and took like 700+ photos of buildings and street shit, and this one might be my favorite. Her expression watching the display and not being able to see her eyes just absolutely do it for me. #photography #nyc #newyork 📸 📷

I spent the afternoon in Photoshop and fighting with Instagram to get these to line up and split into ten slides. Shot a festival over Labor Day and Daikaiju put on the wildest set I've ever seen. The Kabuki-masked instrumental surf rockers had the crowd take the stage 2x, then burned guitars

So far, Starfield is exactly like Mass Effect in that there’s a character creator, combat intro, psychedelic visions and then me spending eight hours picking up side quests at The Citadel

Film itself isn’t necessarily expensive ($27.35 for four rolls of cheaper stock isn’t awful) but man developing and scanning sure is. $120 for four rolls of b/w scanned as TIFFs is where I’m considering a home darkroom and scanner sooner rather than later. 📷📸
