I am rounding out my 10th year as a full-time freelancer and my biggest feeling right now is that I don't want to make things for other people anymore. I just want to make things for myself.

the haunting feeling when you close out 5 tabs that are just your inbox and then you look over to your other monitor and there is yet another window with your email open this is all to say your emails are not finding me well today
When I die I'd like to be turned into 40-80 smooth stones so my loved ones can hurl them through the windows of my enemies.
whenever i see a new After Effects update i think either “about time” or “i already bought a plugin for this years ago”
For @aftermath.site's Hater Week, I wrote about how deeply I hate Adobe aftermath.site/i-hate-adobe/
guy who ate a whole loaf of zucchini bread: its actually fine for you because it has a whole zucchini in it which cancels out all the sugar
I sincerely believe using Generative AI diminishes the spark of light inside your soul. You are worse off as a human being for using it.
Just saw someone on facebook using AI to animate photos of someone who was recently murdered to peddle their shitty click farm. Generative AI is truly depraved technology.
I need to rank every PA turnpike rest stop. I’ve been to nearly all of them at this point.
You hate to roll up to a rest stop after a long time on the road and the only lunch/dinner option is a Roy Rogers. A true garbage tier fast food establishment. High school cafeteria tasting burgers. Still, I’d rather eat there than a Subway.
they blew up the bridge today and now we get a tasty combo of wildfire smoke and bridge dust to breathe in
A view of the demolition of the Commercial Street bridge. Crews are working 24/7 to tear down the existing bridge. Right now they are removing the surface structure. Later in the week they will implode the remaining structure. After that they will work to slide the new bridge into place.
Megan and I bought a box of 65 random DVDs that were from RedBox and we are going to watch them all.

I think about the day I shot this photo a lot. It’s been over 10 years and I’ve never been on such an ethereal walk through a park since. #photography #nature #sunset #pennsylvania
it used to be cool seeing a satellite while stargazing but now one is passing overhead every 5 minutes and I remember that it’s mostly Elon Musk’s disposable space trash.

99% of my emails are me figuring out new ways to say "I have uploaded the file" or "here is a link for review."
There needs to be a setting in GPS apps for Pittsburgh that reroutes you away from any excessively steep streets.
Today while gardening I encountered this blueish-grey isopod. I thought it was a species I've never seen before or even a genetic anomaly much like a blue lobster. This isopod is likely actually infected with the isopod iridovirus which causes this iridescent coloration & decreased responsiveness.
One of my last shots of the Commercial Street bridge before construction started. They are replacing the bridge by building the new one next to it. Over 25 days they will demolish the old one and slide in the new one. Anyone living in the Pittsburgh area has been bracing from the disruption.
my review of the updated carousel feature: just make the pictures big you cowards
