I had a lot of fun making these self portraits yestoday. I’ve long struggled with self-confidence, but I’m finally starting to get comfortable with who I am as a person and not worrying as much about how I’m “perceived.”
I turn 34 in just a few weeks. It’s about time.

Feeling a bit “down” on my work lately, so here are some good bubbies from the weekend that make me feel better.

I didn’t realize how much I missed the flexibility of digital photography - being able to get out and do reasonable night photography this winter is going to save my mind from going insane, I swear.

I’ve decided to make the switch and picked up a Z5II - I think the romanticism of film is finally lost on me as I stare at several rolls that I no longer want to even try to develop myself 🫠 (I’ll still develop them this weekend, but the extra work finally wore on me I guess)

This is fucking insane and the people ordering and carrying out these strikes need to be tried for war crimes literally as soon as possible
This three-hops theory is especially insane. Even if you assume each person is connected to only 100 other people, there are 1m people within three hops of every suspected drug trafficker—and remember that even *known* drug traffickers aren’t legitimate targets. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Have I mentioned how much I love this little dude?
Shout out to my friends for giving him this toy. He loved it while we were living with them temporarily, so they gave it to him as a gift so he’d have something that smelled familiar after the move.
He has a bunch of new toys that get ignored now.
