I'm a photographer based in San Diego. I use Bluesky to post VERY random photographs I've taken over the years. Just here for art, not politics. If you want to use a photo, ask first. joshmitchellphotography.com

I think this is my new favorite bridge photo. Truth be told, I'm not sure I actually had a favorite bridge photo before this one. Taken with the Sirui 35mm Saturn anamorphic lens, which I love.

Astoria has a lot of great neon.

San Diego's Gas Lamp district from a couple of days ago. Testing out the Sirui Saturn 35mm T2.9 anamorphic lens with a neutral flare. Pretty happy with it.

The Buena Vista shot with a 50mm #anamorphic lens. I have a 35mm anamorphic on order that I'm excited to get my hands on.

I can't say I've spent a ton of time in Utah, but that is one of the strangest analogies I've heard in a while. In what way would Point Loma be like Utah?

Stay sharp. Somewhere in Little Italy, January 2024.

The Golden Horsehoe. If photos had scents, this one would be fried. Taken in late February, 2024.

I found that shocking. I looked it up, and he's playing downtown at Petco Park. I can't imagine hotels in areas outside of downtown being impacted.

Josh @joshuacmitchell.bsky.social · Jul 29

I can't say I've found anything here that has felt like community. Just a lot of folks posting photos, with little to no interaction.

Josh @joshuacmitchell.bsky.social · Jul 29

I haven't felt much like posting in here lately. I think it's the lack of interaction that I find not-so-fulfilling. I'll take a comment over a "like" any day. Do any other photographers feel the same way?

That first shot is epic. Hope that firefighter gets a chance to see it.

I thought this apartment building looked a little bit like a face.

Bluesky's own, @jeffsipper.bsky.social , Jan. 2012. I used to take more casual portraits of friends. I think we were at some healthy taco chain at a mall in OC. I've been noticing Jeff posting more personal work & thought of this shot.
