Yesterday's kayaking journey included me shooting infrared film. Holy smokes, it's not easy as I can't see through the lens filter, and the kayak is constantly drifting. Shot on Rollei IR 400 with my Nikon FM2n. #believeinfilm #photography #filmphotography

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Probably not the best light reading for a long day of travel. The fact that I'm reading this to better understand current events is also wild. Ordinary Men.

It's the middle of winter so I long for the heat and humidity of summer. Heading to Florida-stan this morning so long airport day.

Today's shower soundtrack: The Daisy Age compilation. I want to thank @givemeabiscuit.bsky.social for queuing me onto this album. Its perfect preflight music.

Pea Island Lifesaving Station. I like to drive down to the Outer Banks this time of year. It's empty and free from distraction.

A photo from 2023, I'm looking to maybe use more HP5, while its extremely popular and rightly so, I've resisted using it en-masse previously, but this might be the right time for me.

I'm having difficulty keeping my thoughts to myself about my country right now. So, I'm doing what I can to bring a little bit of peace. My morning coffee down at the Sandbridge Pier. I have to let my rage drop a little bit. #virginiabeach #morningcoffee

But the thread that they spun
Was a woman's hair
And the gowns stitched from her tenderest flesh

Monday, I went walking with my camera at the gardens. I've always liked this pair of Dawn Redwoods. I've thought about planting some in my yard or bald cypress. Shot on Kodak TRI-X pushed to 800 with my Nikon F6. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

End of season emptiness. The oceanfront is like its own metro within our metro area. Emptiness in winter. Overcrowded in summer. Completely different atmosphere than the rest. Shot on Kodak TMAX400 with my Lomo MC-A. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

Today's shower soundtrack: A Tribe Called Quest's People's Instinctive Travels. Brings back high school and a brick of hashish a buddy found tied to his crab pot in the Elizabeth River. High school was not the same after that.
