This photo is over 10 years old. 2014. A self portrait. Full post in the alt text. #nikon #nikond300s #photographer #photography #selfportrait #photosky #portrait #glamportrait #selfie #vintage
[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. [A photo of me looking off to the left in front of a blue/teal backdrop. I have reddish hair and glasses, and am wearing a necklace of faux pearls.]

Feeling the feelings is not fun. Why is everything scary

Just something random I feel needs documenting, I’ve had this peacock feather since like 3/4 grade (for reference I’m in my early 40’s). It’s managed to move along w me and when I moved in w my now Husband 20 years ago-ish got stuck above a door and has been there ever since. The eternal feather.

I took a photo and titled based on that very thing, very Stonehenge-like to me, geometric - the rows as one drives by. ‘Midwest Monoliths’

Okay, maybe I like this even better in black and white? Thoughts? Three Layer Geological Study (in Black and White) #photographer #photography #photo #photosky #nikon #waterfall #summer #naturesky #nature #water
A black and white photo of a waterfall raining down with rocks at the base. The focus is definitely on the textures.

Truck and I listen to #deftones #privatemusic, I think he digs it too. #truckthecat #blackcat #catsky #cat #musicsky #metal
My black cat, Truck, listening to Deftones new album Private Music w me. When he doesn’t like the music he leaves the room so this is a win.

Life of an artist - took all the traditional live band photos and still love this really weird one. Hire me to do this. #photographer #photography #livephotography #prism #concertphotography #musicphotography
A photo of the two singers of the band we worked with on Wednesday in prism so they are overlayed and repeated, their clean image is mostly in the lower right corner. More an art piece than a concert piece I guess?

How I feel every day about our current administration…
A screen capture from the tv show Daria where her Dad (pictured) gets so stressed out that he breaks a blood vessel in his eye. For reference a few years ago I also had this happen to me a few times and I very much relate to Daria Morgandorffer throughout my life (and as I’ve gotten older I understand her Dad, too). A screen capture from the show Daria wherein her teacher Mr. DeMartino is shaking his fist at the total disinterest of his class to learn anything.
