Where the fuck are all of the living former Presidents right now? Why are they all silent?

Now for my second attempt at life drawing. My first attempt is being reshared for comparison.

Done.

I sent this video to my wife, who told me I do weird things with my Is and Fs. Do I???? (office pen, Sharpie S•Gel)

Legal question: Since Alabama now only recognizes two genders based on sex at birth, am I allowed to offer discounted photography services for trans and non-binary individuals without running foul of discrimination laws since those individuals do not exist in the eyes of state law?

More non-photography news. I have repurposed my Peak Design tech pouch into a writing pouch, but I still have an itch to purchase a damned Delfonics pouch.

America will need a great PR team and a hard rebrand after these next four years.

Full Roll newness! CineStill BWXX shot with a Fuji GW690 open.substack.com/pub/deadfilm...

My next Full Roll newsletter post features a few slightly NSFW images from a boudoir test session. I’m not sure how best to include those. Should I a) warn people upfront and then bury the images after the signature, or b) place the images on my website and link them from my newsletter?

Time to get weird…

I plan to make cyanotype prints this weekend if the sun comes out.

Two recent happy accidents are pictured below. One is the result of a film advance issue with the Fuji GW690 (half of the subject was lost), and the other was the result of my Polaroid Now+ ejecting two frames at once (giving me a blank frame with a chemical mix).
