My most naive belief was thinking social progress followed a straight, upward path. As a young person, I thought that once LGBTQ+ rights advanced, and everyone wised up, we’d move on to the next set of civil rights, which would also seem foolish not to grant in hindsight. But it’s a permanent fight.

Photographs can be time machines.

Five years ago, I photographed my father and his siblings using a slow, stubborn large-format camera.

I wasn’t in a rush to share, but after some recent health scares in the family, I feel their weight even more.

Ze zouden het toch eigenlijk wat minder lomp overduidelijk moeten maken, zo’n stukje oud-Nederlands double speak.

Remember guestbooks? You’d visit a museum and write your name and where you visited from. Or you ended up on a Pink Floyd tribute Geocities: “I was here, I found your page, hello!”

Treat the comments like that today. Don’t just like. Words make people feel seen and validated. Likes mean nothing.

Some solid unfollowing today with some male photographers suddenly posting semi-erotic analog red hat selfies

Just introduced my 9 year old nephew to the original Prince of Persia game which I LOVED but he found it too hard and he showed me current games he plays and they were so much easier. Is this a thing, modern kid games being easier? Or was PoP just hard?

Another day, another young artist scammed by Amsterdam’s most disingenuous and heartless gallery owner.

remarkable to me that far from seeming cool or masculine zuck seems like an even bigger loser — the kind of nerd who preemptively gives his lunch money to the bully and thanks him for the opportunity

Seeing a lot of OG Instagram users with significant audiences and top user names announcing they’re deleting their account after the recent meta announcements and I get it. Big mask off moment.
