I love capturing raw awesomeness. Always down for a live music shoot! 📸🎸

Stills from a spooky night shoot with Variat Dance. 🌙💃 My new Lumix S1ii has incredible low light and handheld performance. We relied on street lights and a couple of the cheapest video LED's and it still looks amazing and really holds up in the color grade!

@keithrosson.bsky.social Coffin Moon was brutal and wonderful. And reminds me so much of the Portland I loved and still love.

Also, I have to ask: was that an intentional footprints in the sand reference towards the end there?

I'm honored that "Becoming Mermaids" has been chosen to screen at the first ever Manzanita Film Festival on Sat, Oct 4th! It's part of an incredible lineup of films, and I can't think of a better venue for @kjirstentornfelt.bsky.social gorgeous aquatic animation than a festival at the coast! 📽🎞🌊

It’s so good!

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again.

So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels.

It’s ok

during the Wendy Davis protests i entered the capitol building with several female friends. i told the guards i was carrying a concealed firearm and showed them my license. they waved me through without a search.

my friends had their purses checked and their tampons confiscated.

I know it won't happen, but I think we need to start saying "import tax" instead of "tariff".
