Film photographer in Birmingham, Alabama. I am somehow still an Auburn fan and I like it when it rains on F1 races.
It is really funny to me he renamed it to the Dept of War and then posts our biggest L in 50 years. What a goober.
I loved the hell out of the Odyssey. Beautiful and fun and a movie ass movie. They showed it in 70mm here, and seeing a completely analog thing that never was digitized was a marketing trick that completely worked on me.
me before I saw this: AI is fine. its a better search engine. Me after seeing this: I am ready to go to war against the machines
Good ol' AI, continuing to improve my life

You have a month to write a 33 1/3 book about the album of your choice. Which record are you going to write about? (No previously covered albums allowed; new shit must come to light: see below.) (For all books in the series: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_1/3) (H/t @monostich.bsky.social
Charlotte, North Carolina. A satisfying building on a late summer day. Reflx 100D (expired).
2 months ago I took a picture of a Shelton Fireworks in south Alabama and it was one of the best pictures I've taken. I couldn't believe how cool that building was. And then, last week, I discovered it was a chain. This one is on the border of South and North Carolina. Shot on Reflx Labs 400D .
I don’t know what to think about the new Strokes. 3 listens and it’s either great or terrible. But I don’t know which.
Don’t try this on my plane I promise we are both getting kicked off
Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...
I finished season 2 of Slow Horses last night and it is just delightful. I’m mad I took this long to watch it. Glad I got a few more to go.
Earl’s Speed & Custom, Gaffney, South Carolina. More from my late afternoon visit. The light was perfect.
Brick walls, Gaffney, South Carolina. Santa Color 100 in the Canon Rebel G with the 40mm 2.8. Maybe my favorite lens, ever? Yeah, that actually feels right. Top 3 for sure.
Listen this is terrible but I would blast through like 5 rolls of film on this beach
Welcome to the Anthropocene 🔥
I had to get up at 330 am to go to Atlanta and it was foggy. What else am I supposed to do but blast my 85mm through the windshield. I love the hell out of these.
I literally laughed out loud when I read how mad Anthropic is that the Chinese copied their shit. Irony is dead.
I think that car is just doing a sick grind
In other words they are doing their job
I've dropped two lenses in my 51 years on this earth. Once a Canon 70-200 that was owned by my work about 10 years ago, and tonight, my beloved Tamron 35mm 1.4 on to my basement floor. It's now on Ebay, autofocus doesn't work. I kinda want to throw up, I just got it but loved it so much.
Homewood's old police station is this weird brutalist nightmare and I know they'll tear it down soon. I love it.
Someone just sent me this photo from Chicago, unbelieveable
I have gone to new lengths for the lols. Approximately 2600mm (5200mm in 35mm terms) in fact.
Birmingham, Alabama. More adventures at ISO 6400. HP5 in the Nikon FM2. I'm going to 12800 next time, don't try to stop me.
Cahaba River, Birmingham, Alabama. I spent a week on the top floor of my hospital with my dad. I watched a thunderstorm roll in, and felt like I was in the middle of it. I also tumped a kayak in that water in the foreground.
