It's official, I'll be in Minneapolis Feb 5th-9th, got one shoot on the 8th and three (3!) on the 9th, but I figure I can manage two more before my brain turns to mush, so hit me up if you wanna make some art on the 7th or 8th!

1 potato, 1 onion, 1 egg, 1 matzoh, plenty of salt and pepper. That's the ratio for two latkes, scale up as needed. Shred potatoes, rinse several times, squeeze dry with shred onion, add everything else, form into patties and fry in plenty of oil, flipping twice. Serve with applesauce and sour cream

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

20 hours across two days, made 22 new prints, 3-6 copies of each. I am a god damn machine.

9 hours in the darkroom, burned through an entire box of 100 5x7s and ended up with a run of 5 each of 8 final prints to sell, plus a proof set that I'm keeping. On my way home exhausted but I'll scan them tomorrow and share <3

Man I do really love how these came out
I've been playing around with toning silver gelatin prints with selenium and gold, to give them a slight warm/cool contrast and fix the image to last centuries without fading.
I've been doing a lot of nudes lately but here's some SFW landscapes I did in Death Valley

Finally heading back into the darkroom on Tuesday, this time to print some stuff I shot at Montreal Swing Riot during the Jazz Fest, and hopefully a few more from my summer in Sweden.
Olivia walking along the lakeshore in Chicago earlier this summer. Print is washing after fixing, soon to be toned in selenium and the last of my gold chloride.
Man I love playing with film

Dreaming of Swedish summers while I book shoots for the coldest part of the winter in one of the coldest parts of the country (see you Feb 5th-9th Minneapolis!)

Photo unrelated just letting y'all know I'm trying to book shoots in Denver, Minneapolis, and Chicago this winter. Also Lindy Focus. I have so many ideas and I am at the top of my game right now

I have your back on this decision which was yours which you made

An update after taking her to her normal vet, whom I fucking love: she is probably going to be fine, it looks like she might have slipped a disc in her spine, 4-8 week recovery time while we dope her with painkillers, but still sticking around for a while yet
Not to be a bummer on main but I think my elderly cat is dying, the one Joey and I got as a kitten when we first moved to Chicago, a year into our relationship. We spent 9 hours in the vet ER yesterday only to be told they don't know what's up except she's in pain, and gave her some painkillers

Everyone on my skyline is older than ICE. We lived a life without them and nothing has improved with their existence: housing is not cheaper, healthcare is not more accessible, and we are not more secure. Abolish ICE and it is your moral duty to oppose them kidnapping and trafficking people.

Made biscuits, forgot to brush butter on top or they'd be prettier. Chanterelle mushroom gravy (spouse is vegetarian) not pictured

Just bought 5 rolls of Cinestill 800T to bring to Lindy Focus to play with. I'm mostly only interested in shooting black and white so I can do fun things in the darkroom with it, and sticking with digital for color work, but this film is neat because it doesn't have an anti-halation layer

The sheer lunacy of wanting to get a 4x5 camera and make platinum contact prints, or god help me wet plate collodion.
I am nearly certainly getting a 4x5 pinhole camera and positive paper to bring to Herräng next summer, along with a bunch of lights
