Love it when an SX-70 shows up. My favorite Polaroid camera, such an awesome design.

It was nearly twenty years ago that I got my start in the game industry, working for @bethesdastudios.com on Oblivion.

This game is near and dear to my heart and I am so excited for everyone to be able to experience the remaster. 🤘

This restoration and 4k disc are phenomenal. It's like looking through a window into Monument Valley.

Yeah, definitely. Lots of great screenings there over the years. It will be missed.

FANGORIA @fangoria.bsky.social · Feb 19

This spring, FANGORIA pays tribute to one of the most visionary filmmakers of all time - David Lynch.

Though Lynch’s film work spanned (and defied) genres, his dark visions over the years – from ERASERHEAD to BLUE VELVET to LOST HIGHWAY and beyond – have left an indelible imprint on our readers.

FANGORIA Volume 2 Issue 27, Spring 2025 subscriber-exclusive cover. Darkness, Dualiy, and David Lynch featuring an illustration by Matt Ryan Tobin.

Watching this release of WITCH FROM NEPAL tonight and Chow Yun-Fat is running around dual wielding some really nice Leica M3s. 🤩

This is one of the first images I made on large format and I still really love it.

Digital scan of the negative but this was also my first image I printed in the darkroom @ 16 x 20.
