I should not have gone down the class of 09 rabbit hole…

It’s done a number on me, brought up shit I thought I was long passed

It’s spring in Oklahoma, that means:

Remember to bring the food in from the grill on your way to the bathroom/closet/storm shelter

While the sky tries to murder us

I had a deck I used to play around oddesy that would have a similar feel to upheaval-psychatog, but jokulhaups-lhurgoyf,

Back to work…and wishing for more time for photography, making some hard decisions about my hasselblad

I sooooo wish they hadn’t bother the second movie the way they did.

I’d be able to convince Alice to go see this one if they had, gotten Chani’s character right and remembered the guild existed

Watching the dune trailer, listening to that chant and music on repeat

Never have I been so hyped for a movie I’m already disappointed in

It hurts a bit, and would be devastating if this were my full time job.

But it means the return clients who WANT my services mean that much more to me

I can kinda understand the massive gatekeeping i ran into when I first got my camera and was just trying to learn to take better pictures at all. Been burned by someone who hired me for a gig, then shadowed me and now undercuts me in the same market

I kinda don’t want to, it’s just such a nice camera, and if i don’t just toss it in my bag and baby it it would probably last a very long time.

It kinda depends on this last CLA i sent it for

I’m considering selling my Hasselblad and going back to a Mamiya 645,

Finding reliable service for the Hassey is getting harder, and will only get harder as parts go scarcer.

I love that camera, I might just have to sell it, upgrade the rest of my gear, and save for a new one

Well…fuck

As much as i don’t want to…i might have to sell my Hasselblad kit.

Places to get it reliably serviced are getting harder to find.

But if i sell it, i can totally go back to the 645, and upgrade the rest of my gear that needs upgrading, then it’s save for a modern Hassey kit…

The urge to answer an employee satisfaction survey honestly

It’s an amusing thing where when I was much younger i always wanted my own like custom seal. But thought that era had long since passed.

Now I’m like ”wait…why not? Why can’t I have my own seal and send letters to people and such with it?”

Like I’ve designed out one for me, haven’t ordered it, but I just had an idea of making one for my photography

Should I design and order a custom seal and start putting wax seals on things?

There’s a bunch

Happy new year

I survived Whammageddon 2025

This is a metaphor for the tech industry overall circa 2025

My in laws are 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants from Sweden, they still hold a lot of traditions (Christmas Eve, and midsummer being the most notable) even if they don’t recognize where they came from

Yeah, also have a million things to get done today

Dude who ran a frustrating smear campaign against me this summer sure has no problem using pictures I took to promote his business…

I got Jurassic Park…

Dracula…

I was a weird AF 7 yr old, and wal mart had this whole “2 classic novels for a dollar” deal going, so my dad just bought me everything. So from 7-8 i read Dracula, the War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, iRobot, Frankenstein, the hobbit”

Dracula shaped my standards for villains forever.
