It’s like Charm+Camera. What other way could it be pronounced???

You’ve convinced me to pull the trigger on a charmera

Imagine if all the major horror franchises had one writer involved in all the entries. It’s amazing.

Too cool

Amazing photos as usual

It’s worth an occasional visit for the Sam Raimi cameo.

Changing my scanning process for those seems daunting in itself.

Pumpkin Spice disc golf discs

Pumpkin spice frisbees.

Finally took some photos of the finished discs. My “Paranormal Disc Golf Association” release for 2025. A little late for Halloween, but still perfect for fall. These look and feel great, but they smell incredible. Just like a pumpkin spice donut. Only 25 made. #DiscGolf

Godspeed

Have you tried your local library?

Well they weren’t wrong.

OK tonight I learned that Gaspar Noe brought Dario Argento as his +1 to meet the Pope, and this is possibly the sweetest and the maddest thing to ever happen.

This is why Raimi is the best in the game. No one is more delighted to beat up their heroes than him.

A Dark Song

First self portrait (and the underdeveloped / light-leaked test shot) using the 4x5 #InstantBoxCamera with the help of a friend acting as the lens cap shutter for me. #FilmPhotography

I have this and it is amazing. It has become a very fun part of our holiday traditions.

Now with video

Several black and white photos are drying on a table.

Weekend with some friends at a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so I set up the #InstantBoxCamera on the porch. My first chance getting to set up in one spot and fine tune over several portraits. The weather was perfect. #FilmPhotography adjacent.

This photo and story are perfect.

Has Dinklage launched an AI production company?

I need a good studio flash. I mainly have video lights…

I love the animated special. Boris Karloff narrating a Christmas story?? I’ll take it any day of the week.

With the super low ISO, are you effectively using the flash as the shutter here?

This first image is probably my current favorite photo of my daughter. She is a story teller and cannot be stopped. Kodak Double X on the Pentax 17 half frame. #FilmPhotography

I’m not shocked he picked the 4 Matrix films, but I am surprised that he listed Resurrections in the top slot.

Make more mainline Alien movies, but if this franchise helps Scott get the budget for these others scifi stories, then I’ll take all of them as well.

I’ll admit I’m not too worried about continuity between these movies, but I also didn’t think the civilization killed in Covenant is necessarily the engineers. Just a civilization like them. Part of me would love to have seen Shaw’s journey, but not if that wasn’t what Scott was interested in.
