I have a box and a half of 4x5 from this batch left. I couldnโ€™t believe how great it still looks. Just needs a lot more light ๐Ÿ˜€

Fantastic. The deserted street scene reminds me of Eugene Atget.

Thatโ€™s a shame. I was looking forward to it

Sorry. Went right over my head.

Itโ€™s the southern end of Tomales Bay

Excellent. I have a few good ones from my digital days. Glad I got some film photos as well. The scene seems to work well with Kodak Gold!

Me too! A few years ago some influencer types tried to photograph it with some long exposure fire trail type things and set it alight. After that itโ€™s been going downhill. But I do have some photos of it before hand.

The โ€œPoint Reyesโ€ at Inverness (California) has been a favorite of local photographers for many years but is sadly finally falling apart.

Considering how long Iโ€™ve been out of the traditional job market itโ€™s amazing how often โ€œrecruiters โ€œ seem to be interested in me. At least once or twice a week ๐Ÿ˜€

Everything is problematic these days. Compromise is required Iโ€™m afraid.

Hopefully those journalists are writing somewhere else. I think a few writers are using Substack.

A black and white photo series of 4 images taken lengthwise of an abandoned boat sat on a marsh. Each image is taken at an odd angle such that the boat appears to be bending and riding on a wave of the marsh grass beneath it.

Thanks for sharing. I know him mainly for his work in Chinatown San Francisco (where I live) and have not seen much outside of that.

Agreed.
On Instagram I put the hashtags in a comment on the photo and I think that works for putting the post in front of people who arenโ€™t already following me. At the same time it doesnโ€™t clutter the original post.

This is what it says when you make a post

โ€œAlt text describes images for blind and low vision users, and helps give context to everyoneโ€

Iโ€™m not trying to be confrontational but perhaps this is not the place for hashtags

I loved the Black Tudors book and am looking forward to your new one !

Does putting hash tags there clog up the alt text for people who need the alt text to enjoy your images?
