Test shoot with a leftover flower from another project. This is a focused stacked made up of 60 images. I used an Edelkrone SliderONE’s stop motion feature to move the camera and the focus point.

Newest work! This Pechuga de Mole Poblano is redistilled with Poblanos chilis with mole paste and chicken. This agave brand focuses on Mezcaler(e)s, who make traditional agave spirits, but don't qualify as mezcal due to location, cost of certification, or restrictive guidelines.

I don’t get why people don’t like #Ektar film. I really love the colors! Scans from @IndieFilmLab1 taken on the 6x4.5 Fuji GS645S

Finally, I sent my film for development from a photo road trip to Marfa, Tx, then New Mexico to check Truth & Consequences, Albuquerque, and Bisti Badlands. Here are some #Marfa shots. It was a fun place to casually shoot. #FujiGS645S #MamiyaC330 #TLR #indieFilmLab

Here’s how Dems can + must do more than wait for an election. Let’s start w/ why: - 7 of the 9 justices were appointed by a party that hasn’t won a popular vote more than once in 30 years - 1 of those seats was stolen - Several lied to Congress to secure their appointment…

Kenny G (yes, that one) and his son guest appearing on this experimental metal band’s latest music video. Pretty epic. youtu.be/ywcshfrpO3A

Weekend photowalk with @TheJustinWu Also went to Nine Bar (ninebarchicago.com) which was fantastic.

Who are some of your favorite people in the #UX #design community to follow? #uxtalk

Organizations frequently undervalue design expertise. Design teams need to be able to evangelize high-level aspects of our work: areas of focus, ways of working paradigms, strategic factors, and perspectives. Here is a quick primer! link.medium.com/isDwmqdyfpb

@BenHorne Agreed! I don’t put the napkin on my lap until I get a plate I can put the silverware on.

I’ve never understood why it’s customary to put your napkin on your lap when eating at a nice restaurant. Now your silverware is sitting on the bare table. Might as well just lick the table itself.

Haven’t left my house in a week, because it’s cold, so I forced myself to shoot some photos around the house throughout the day. Mostly on film I haven’t developed yet, here are some digital ones I took.

For this drink I stuck to a common spec, but split the vermouth. • 2.00 oz Catcher’s Rye Vermouth Barrel aged or standard Catcher’s Rye • 0.50 oz Punt e Mes • 0.50 oz Dolin Rouge • 2 dashes Angostura • Luxardo or brandied cherry optional [2/2]

Catcher’s Rye is one of my favorite rye whiskies. I picked up this seemingly limited vermouth barrel aged release at their distillery. I have mostly been enjoying this whiskey neat, but it is a treat to serve it in a Manhattan. [1/2]

Never too late to get yourself a creative gift. I recommend two books in this guide.

Milkyway timelapse outside of Santa Fe. — 15s • f/1.4 • ISO 1600 Sony a7iii with 24mm GM 400 shots over two hours.

“The Instagram Fallacy: it's not all about single images.” youtu.be/mPtVLwJIJQ8 via @seantuck Learning this a few years really changed the way I approach photography and made photography more interesting and satisfying.

Albuquerque, New Mexico seems to have great light pretty much all day long.

Did some hiking in Denver and Boulders. First landscape stuff I’ve made since early 2020. Feels good to get back out, but definitely felt rusty.
