Variety is the spice of life, friends.

To my very few Bluesky followers— The only place you’ll find me anymore is Instagram. So join me over there: www.instagram.com/bill.cornelius

Protect My Public Media Take a stand for the local stations and programs you love.

I grew up on @pbs.org

The first time I ever saw something I made on TV, it was on PBS.

My grandmother was on the advisory board that founded the
PBS affiliate KET in Kentucky.

Fight back! protectmypublicmedia.org

Annual reminder that the only Derby is the Kentucky Derby. 🐎

*Looking at you Tennesseans. Steeplechase ain’t it. Sorry.

Eccentric.

Believe it or not there was a time, long ago, when social media was semi-fun.

Strong

This watch of Napoleon Dynamite was followed by an in-person Q&A with the cast.

Days of Thunder is underrated.

If parents are going to say how many months old their kids are when they’re 2 or 3 years, I’d like my mom to start telling people that I’m 503 months old.

New incentive to care for my yard: Google could come by at any moment and Street View capture how janky it looks.

Other than uncanny valley young Jeff Bridges (the tech wasn’t there yet), I really enjoyed Tron: Legacy. So yes, I’m excited for this.

And Nine Inch Nails doing the soundtrack for a Disney movie is something I never thought I’d see(hear).

Variety. 🤌

Back on it

I’ve been getting a lot of these scam toll road violation texts lately. What these scammers don’t realize is that I’ve actually run toll booths… many times… and have been charged for it. They don’t text you. They send you a creepy CCTV pic of your car in the mail. 😬

Some bts action.

Experimental video I shot in the garage last weekend for my electronic music side project. But what’s really fun is how it was made (No A.I. All in-camera).

Sony FS7 with my grandmother’s old Pentax K1000 kit lens and macro diopters and just some household items.

Budget: $3

Long live 12th & Porter and MySpace-era rock shows. 🤘

It’s been a real strong week. 💪

R.I.P. Gene Hackman. An absolute powerhouse and icon.

There might be a theme here. 🤔

YES! Like 5-years ago!

Honestly, things like this are the few reasons why I stay on social media. When a legendary music video director not only looks at your story, but shares it.

Bonus was Anton Corbijn taking a peek. 👀

Today I became a donating member of Nashville’s historic @belcourttheatre.bsky.social. Not only is this theater vital to indie film and arts in our city, it has been very important to me personally as many projects I’ve been involved in have shown on its screens. Thank you, Belcourt! We need you! 🥂

Recently rekindled my love for this part of Nashville. Despite all of the changes in the area, Hillsboro Village still has hints of that feeling when Nashville was new (to me).

One of my life goals is to photograph as many UNESCO World Heritage Sites as I can. So far I’ve been to the following:
—Canadian Rockies 🇨🇦
—Medina of Marrakesh 🇲🇦
—Monuments of Ancient Kyoto 🇯🇵
—Statue of Liberty 🇺🇸
—Ait Ben Haddou 🇲🇦
—Mammoth Cave 🇺🇸
—Great Smokey Mountains 🇺🇸

Not pictured:
—The Alamo 🇺🇸

Anyone remember this relic from a bygone era?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…….

I’ve always heard about this one, but I’ve never seen it.
