I thought some howl pendragon matches would be a fun sticker design

Thank you!! I do like the focus depth in that photo. It would work as a smaller inset photo on the website. And so many people shop on mobile browsers it may not make a difference anyway.

Someone let me know when Variety publishes a thousand-word essay on why Jared Leto shows that cis white men shouldn't be given lead roles in movies anymore because they clearly can't open a film.

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

For example, this looked acceptable on the camera monitor and it’s okay here or on my phone, but on a computer monitor the focus is all out of wack.

However, I got some decent shots and it’s all For The Aesthetic on the website anyway. #jewelry #chainmail

Slightly out of focus macro shot of a bisexual pride bracelet, a trans pride bracelet, and an ace pride bracelet on a dark wooden surface. All the bracelets are made of brightly colored jump rings and are in a Persian weave chainmail style.

Shooting photos with a manual macro lens is a humbling experience. What looks like decent focus is, in fact, upon review with a proper monitor, a completely useless smear of colors and shapes.

I need to get a new tripod. I can’t just keep holding the camera. It’s apparent when I got tired.

Thank you! I’m shooting some in-progress shots for the home page and about is page with my old D3100. I think they’re going to turn out well.

Thank you! Yeah, the back end with Squarespace isn’t too bad, really. I used BigCommerce for about 7 years, previously and just decided this time I wanted something that is more streamlined. Payment stuff is set up and I have a commission contact form created. Now I’m shooting art photos.

My book release went well! I have already gotten "When's the next one?" comments and love to my little cinematic ad (in addition to more sales than any prior launch day).

My week's work was all about promoting that (and itch bundles, which have also made a few sales), so... yay!

Not great, work wise, but Thursday I had dinner with a friend I hadn’t seen in months and that was restorative.

I’m working on the jewelry website now. Getting pages built and the backend set up. Next will be product photos.

Eventually I’ll write that blog post…
