sat outside and got about 4 mosquito bites even with both bug spray and other repellants but! birds.
A ruby-throat hummingbird ships from a red Turk’s Cap flower. A molting juvenile Carolina Wren hangs off a suet feeder. A mockingbird sits on a mealworm cup, the light glinting off his brown eye. A Carolina Chickadee sits in a cedar tree.

anyway here are some photos from May, on Cinestill 400 pushed to 800
Three lamps hang against a white brick wall with an inset glass brick window, casting harsh shadows. A cluttered window display including a baseball cap with "Panther City Provisions," a Canada Dry shelf, a Miller High Life Beer lamp, and other antique ephemera. A rectangular window in a painted brick wall reflects both the sunset and strings of lights. A neon sign for "Nickel City" is in the foreground with a blurry moon in the background.

happy birthday to me I guess

Here’s some cool photos I took the last few weeks.
The underside of a piano with hundreds of signatures in it. The black cross spar has “Property of Van Cliburn” stenciled on it in white paint. A toy figurine of Han Solo on a tauntaun is surrounded by smoke with an AT-AT in the background. The whole picture is taken at a macro scale. A Black woman grinds a skateboard across a ramp, her pink braids flying behind her.

have spent some time away from here and honestly will probably need to continue to but here are some recent pictures
A film photo of a rocky ridge line silhouetted against a blue sky with puffy clouds. The ridge line has two distinctive boulders sticking off the top which look like crab eyes. A bison grazes in a grassy field against a rocky hill, which is shrouded in mist. A red dirt path winds towards a red rock tower, set against gradated clouds. A drift log floats in a still lake which is reflecting a blue sky with puffy white clouds floating in it.

A scan of a comic strip, with an unidentified character staring out a window at a skyline saying "What a stupid time to be alive."

went to Denton today because honestly it's a pretty great spot and I have film photos to get developed but some of the digital ones are pretty fun
A photo of a wall with a window airconditioning unit and some pipes on it. The wall and some of the pips have purple and green paint across them. A roof-access ladder reaches up towards the sky, grown over and around by brown, leafless vines. A green neon theater sign with the letters CAM reaches up into a clouded sky, with the empty letter board cutting off the bottom of the sign (which in full reads CAMPUS). A sign in the shape of a yellow shoe with "Logan's Shoe Shop" in neon and "Over 50 years of service" on the heel.

In three screenshots, why you too should be terrified of the privatization of weather/environmental agencies.
A screenshot of unhealthy AQIs for my area from airnow.gov. A screenshot of Apple Weather claiming my local AQI is 38, or “good.” A screenshot of RadarUS showing my unhealthy 176 AQI, clearly pulling from the same source as the first screenshot.

A screenshot of a phone Lock Screen with an email from the Fort Worth Digital Library saying that my copy of “You Didn’t Hear This From Me” is ready for pickup.

Rocky Mountain National Park was closed for the 2018 government shutdown so this is on NP land but not beyond any gates.
Looking down at a pair of black cowboy boots with snow on the tops standing on a frozen lake. A blue sky over a mountain valley with a dead tree in the foreground. A river flowing through a mountain town. (This one isn’t technically RMNP, it’s just Estes Park.) A large glacier-moved boulder with grey and red mineral striping, taken in a public area of Rocky Mountain National Park.

wandered around some public works of art today
Blue scratched paint on concrete is broken up by a series of wavy white lines, with more geometric forms on the right side. It is a close-up of a fountain in the Dallas Fair Park esplanade. The Woofus. (The Woofus is a Dallas artwork featuring a mythical creature. From Atlas Obscura: "Originally created in 1936 for the Texas Centennial Exposition in Dallas, the Woofus features the mane and neck of a horse, a turkey tail, pig body, duck wings, a sheep's head, and of course, a pair of Texas longhorns. ") A golden statue of an archer framed by four soaring white stone columms against a blue tile background. The Texas Star ferris wheel looms in the foreground with a Southwest Airlines 737 in the sky behind it coming in to land at Dallas Love Field.

It's really annoying that sometimes the expensive film is worth it because it really does capture color and detail beautifully. (This is Kodak Ektar 100, and a ship's crystal.)
A close-up film photo of a glass pyramid-type structure, glowing in the light.

honestly might do a print run of this one, I’m that happy with it
A green poblano pepper and a piece of calcite sit against a black backdrop, each seeming to lean in different directions. The poblano is dark and reflective, the calcite is bright but almost seems matte.

did some still life photography today, pretty happy with how the digital images came out
A small branch of baby's breath in a very small green pot. Geometric shadows on a white wall form the background. A bunch of mushrooms sprout from a geode half against a black background. A bunch of radishes against a black background. The radishes have a bit of a glow to them. A yellow flower, an orange piece of calcite, and an empty Villa Massa limoncello bottle against a black background.

For a roll of film that I put off getting developed because I was convinced that the whole thing was way overexposed, this really turned out.
A single-engine plane flies low over a foreground of cut-off shrubbery. A single-engine antique plane comes in for a landing on a grass strip, the background blurred behind it. An aerobatic plane does maneuvers in the sky, trailed by smoke. A single-engine plane flies by, the background blurred in motion.

did something about the sandpapering and while it isn't much, it's not just sitting here in despair

Okay, officially mad that it took me 7 years of living here to come back to the Amon Carter.

her!!!
“Self Portrait” by Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun. A young woman looks directly out of the painting at the viewer, dressed in a chemise-style gown with red accents. She is wearing a large dark hat and looks incredibly self-possessed.
