I love feedback on my photography, but I do hate hearing how much better of a career in it I “should” have. The industry is in sea change from administration to distribution all the way down to us poor bastards who feel compelled to still do it. That I do still continue is enough

European friends. You get healthcare. We get busted up carhartt. I don’t write the rules. Stop asking for my old jackets. I love y’all but sheesh. You should be running around in those blue French chore coats with a loaf of bread sticking out of the pocket, not chewing bacco and learning hobo runes.

Good lord, I would get so much further along in the arts if I could learn to just shut my mouth when I’m surrounded by folks that denigrate, stereotype and utterly despise the people that raised me.

The Lynch auction:
Once bought a nice pair of Made in England wingtips from an estate sale. I could never quite get over the idea that I was wearing a dead man’s shoes.

I used to dislike square format. But as years went by and I continued to experiment with it, I grew more comfortable and eventually it became my favorite way to think of compositions.

We’re living in a time when it’s not uncommon to see a recently closed business sill sporting signage for their social media accounts. Small businesses that once looked to app based media as the next wave of advertising have been drowned in algorithmic sorting and big advertising

I have mass published photobooks that I can shake apart with one hand. I have self published monographs that I’d reach for to bludgeon a burglar. Make it make sense.

I bought the new Patrick Sansone photo book. Besides being an excellent book full of great color slide images, it’s also one of the highest quality books I’ve seen in years. The binding is solid the pages are thick. The printing is crisp and solid.

No but really, I think the Fuji Half is the manufacturers giving up and realizing that distribution limits the resolution no matter how much the customer spends on it. Instagram is an endemic filter. We should probably be talking about it.

I find myself thinking a lot if people elsewhere understand the endemic problems we find ourselves facing here. But lately I realize more and more that it doesn’t matter whether or not it’s recognized, that’s beyond me. I can record it however.

The bird count was low today. Only a handful of pelicans working the surf out of reach of the swimmers. I pointed it out to my wife and said “The spring breakers must’ve eaten them all.”

“Advice from the master derailed that disaster. He said Hand that pen over to ME poetaster!”
We have TWO words for "an inferior poet."
And both of them sound made-up.
‘Poetaster’ and ‘rhymester.’

I love all the Native American place names we have here. I hope there is never a move to change them. Chipola, Chattahoochee, Choctawhatchee, Wewahitchka. My autocorrect is exploding, and non-locals look at us funny when we give directions, but damn it if I don’t love it.

When older photographers ask how I know anything about the work…you know that scene in Patton when he whips Rommel’s butt and says “I read your book you bastard!” It’s like that.

It’s not that I dislike Power, Parr, and the other guys coming from England to document the rural and quotidian American landscape. It’s that I think we should have an exchange program where myself and others can do the same thing over there.

You can be three generations off the tenant farm, but the descendants of plantation class southerners and carpetbaggers can still smell it on you. This is a hard thing to get across to outsiders.

I almost wish Meta would produce a film based on what/who they think the public wants using their own in-house data and metrics. When it flops, that’s the only way you’re ever going to get the culture admin class over this lazy “IG followers=$$$” BS.
