6x9 negatives on light box over a cutting mat just sleeved to be archived in binder

Some shots on 6x6 medium format that were past the frame 12 so we're partial but cool that there were 3 so we have this cool comp

E100 shot of Fuji 6x4.5 of a Palestine protest in Long Beach. One of my favorite shots on film.

35mm bw negatives cutting to be sleeved on light box and cutting mat.

#queer late night rewatch all of #3bodyproblem cutting and sleeving #film #negatives, both #35mm and a few #mediumformat including #6x6 #6x9 #6x4.5. Nice reminiscing through #photograghy of #cities, #landscapes, #nature, and #Palestine #protest. Even though #e100 is hard the protest shot was a fav.

Ad inked drawing of a bunch of trash animals whom I love in kink gear. Roster with a brow ring, pigeon with a chain and lock necklace and a leather cap, Corgi with a bandana around neck, duck with a ball gag, jumping spider with chaps, black Phoebe with a chocker and cuffs with rings for restraint, skunk shocked, quail with a headpiece and a pleated leather purse, goat with a biker jacket and gauged ears, racoon with a harness, opossum with a septum piercing and leather wrist strap, coati with a crop top

This #queer wants a tattoo sleeve of their favorite #trashanimals in #kink and #alt wears and #piercings. This #ink #drawing #illustration is a start. We have #rooster #pigeon #corgi #duck #jumpingspider #blackpheobe #skunk #quail #coati #goat #racoon #opossum in #leather jackets #harness & #cuffs

Stellers Jay in a woody bush

Junco hopping on the ground

This #queer was in #sanfrancisco a and did some #photography at #sutroreserve and got some shots of these #birds, I think its some type of #wren, #sparrow, #stellersjay, and a #junco ? let me know if you know, a #birder expertise is always appreciated. I enjoy #birdphotography but bad at names

Snowy egret about to land on Sutro baths with people in the background and the pools just to the right

Snowy egret landing with its feathers all fluffed and dramatic like as it lands on the sutro pool wall walkway with graffiti in the back

a close shot of the snowy egret looking for a meal with grasses / reed poking through the water in the sutro baths

snowy egret with some great detail of its feathers and eye thats incredible as it looks like its floating in the socket without a lens and just a hole, such a trip

Last #birdphotography of note was getting to capture this #snowyegret flying and landing so dramatically at #sutrobaths in #sanfrancisco and being close enough with my #100-400mm on my #xt5 #fujifilm that eye was a trip personally, so beautiful

a gul, too many to know but flying low over the wet sand with sea foam in sight

a group of Sanderlings hunting for crabs in the sand with sea foam in the back

Pigeon floothed up on wall looking super cute

two ravens on a lamp post with fluffed up feathers grooming each other I think, never seen before and it was super cute

while at #oceanbeach shot these #photos of these #birds that I thought were cute. #gul experts please identify bc #googleai lens is trash for this, #sanderlings hunting for small #crabs, and #floothy #pigeon, and some #ravens #grooming each other I think, it was super #cute

Metro train arriving, woman with a pink purse waiting. a wide shot

#queer traveling via transit mistakenly going to usc but didn't have too because typography talk was at their space in the #artsdistrict. But I did end up doing some #photography on the #metro #train #station in #liltokyo and grabbed some great shots and #slowshutter #longexposure magic

Once I was done with the #macrophotography I threw the #mold s away, it was really starting to smell and make me feel ill as it started to defrost 4 of 5

Icey mold

Fuzzy mold

Ice crystals growing out from the fuzzies

Was it a citrus? the fleshy textures and that angular shard like crystals are a noice juxtaposition

#queer grown mold from a fruit, been so long I cant even remember what it was... 3 of 5

was guac...now just rote with cool ice crystals

the build up in certain spots is incredible, love the texture and variety

A finer smaller coat of ice on the guac that you can see the fine mold fibers

bubbles of ice on the underside of the deli container lid, almost looks like storm clouds of jupiter

An overlook with my partner walking across with a bit of motion blur back lit by the cities lights of Lincoln Park

A photo of an owl, a poor one, but one none the less. Will try again next time with a bigger lens and better body

#queer and their partner out for a #nighthike @ #elysianpark, saw some #bunnies and #photograph 'd an #owl which has been a dream to capture, need to try again as I was too far with not the best lens.

A couple of kitties in the adjacent parking lot next to my flat, taken with from 3 floors up with a 100-400mm lens on a X-T5

This cutie hummingbird was just outside the window and the 100-400 really got close as they are soooooo tiny. I love the attitude in the eyes and the flecks of iridescence

Fit check mirror selfies, COS green pants cropped hem, brown belt, silk floral shirts, black motorcycle leather jacket, small leather bag for EDC and a X-T5 with a 16-55 lens on a peak design shoulder strap.

MPB box with a Fragile sticker on the top sitting on the floor

Opened box with smaller fujifilm boxes and some packing paper

New to me Fujifilm XT5 body on packing papers

Fujifilm lenses, 16-55mm, 80mm Macro, 100-400mm

This #queer really got used to the small light tactile sensibilities of the #x100vi so decided to trade in my #eosr and #llenses for #xt5 #redbadgelenses through #mpb. Near 1:1 swap for newer body and the lens equivalents but much smaller and lighter. Been very happy with the swap.

#queer listening to #thequeers on #vinyl. Waiting for the work clock to wind down to zero

Zoom mtg set up, godox vl150 bounce off ceiling, small rig m160 key light and a small diffuse disk to soften natural sidelight and using my x100vi as a web camera

This #queer is a lil extra when it comes to #zoom call #wfh setup...it's hard not on use equipment that is otherwise just laying around must make use of the #godox #smallrig and #x100vi, also listening to #thequeers punk band and being very #nostalgic atm

Tamagoyaki pan with an okay omelette, needs work but is more then edible

My catch all cook all the remaining vegetables I have before things go horribly soft or rot or soggy. A can of basic veggies with some fresh mushrooms, onion, bean sprout greens, fish sauce, rice vinegar, dry chili powder, Thai chili. Real kitchen sink dish

Dolsot crispy rice cooked with a bit of onion and Thai chili

The three dishes with a bit of bread from local bakery gusto with a bit of yogurt and cheese, dishes topped with some flakey salt, sesame seeds, onion crisp for a lil more texture.

This #queer on going learning how to use a #Tamagoyaki pan for their eggs while also trying to used the last of some remaining ingredients before they're inedible (that's what's in the pan of vegetables) and some #crispyrice from a #dolsot with some #food #photography of an #everydaymeal

Shipping box partially open

Box open, with black packing paper, bubble wrapped items with Fujifilm paper visible through

X100VI front top view

X100VI top back perspective

This #queer is happy to receive their #x100vi back from #fujifilm having repaired the shutter button half press function. It's good as new and the it was under warranty and was turned around in a reasonable time. Can't wait to go back to #photography and #shooteveyday

Desk with a bit of black board to block glare from window with Lightroom pulled up on the screen

Because this #queer is a night owl I usually #photoedit at night and glare isn't an issue, during the day I do love the natural light so I needed to set up some #negitivefill to get the best of both

A #queer playing #vinyl while they #photoedit. Bought at a local pop up that supports the local womens support center. Also this #record is my age.
