![[Visual Description at bottom of post.]
This photo is over 10 years old. 2014. A self portrait. I had a lot of acne at this stage of my life. A new set of very weak constant soft boxes (that I still use, just pulled them out for headshots to give the light a little bump at a space 🤘). A piece of fabric I bought from JoAnn’s.
My point? A couple things.
The photo has aged just fine output quality wise. I tossed the RAW into Photoshop, ran my usual noise correction, gave my skin a little smooth job, color boost, and here we are.
Make sure to get in front of the camera as well as behind it. I look back fondly at the exploration here and it made me a better photographer.
D300s, 1/125, f5.6, 1250
Tamron 17-50 2.8 @ 40mm.

If you use scripture to justify policy that limit people who happen to see things differently than you, but do not use scripture to support policies thaf feed and clothe those in need - you need to reassess if your beliefs are truly what is leading you - or if political propaganda you drink is.

This breaks my heart. I loved Udo Kier. He was the model for the Magistrate in THE KILL SOCIETY. RIP Udo.

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

The influencer fetish baiting line is so interesting to me, it’s just out in plain sight and folks can’t see it. Like the ballet dancer that always has the camera positioned so you can see how she sits (it’s clearly not about her shoes), and the gal that eats sausages.

If Democrats back down now they are the dumbest bunch of rocks I’ve ever seen. Drowsy Don is crying in his wheaties saying he’s going to throw people money he cannot throw. Let the firework explode

Keep the government closed until fixing healthcare - Trump is freaking by suddenly trying to promise checks again that he’ll never deliver. Let’s light this candle

Notice how all of us help each other with the GoFundMe’s, the food bank, the small businesses offering meals. It never comes from the richest. It’s never the Bezos. It’s never the Musk. It’s time we do something about it.

Watching some .38 Special and realizing that all Kid Rock wants to be is Donnie Van Zant. He’s like if someone made a loudmouth untalented garish caricature. Hey, Kid Rock - Don Barnes sang most of the big hits, dude - and he did it in a v-neck blouse.

…I don’t like feeling like a conspiracy theorist, but I also don’t feel like the FBI actually ‘thwarted’ a terror plot. It feels very contrived. It is what it is.
