Post BLFC wrap-up: I was in a pretty low place beforehand being extremely nose to the grindstone with both business and work, little free time, and disconnected from friends and community. I legitimately thought this would be my last con and had the feeling like I was attending some kind of funeral.

Having a nearly full panel room was a fantastic feeling, and I hope it was informative to anybody who went. Thanks to all the folks I ran into at the con, reminding me that I still have a place even if I stay away for a long time. You guys rock.

Post con feeling pretty good, getting back to work sucks but at least I get to see some cool photos I took. More to come.

I was not in the best place and in my head pretty deep. Planning for BLFC felt difficult as well. I'm glad to say that I was very much wrong in my thoughts and that time at the con was grounding. Running into the many folks at the con was validating that it was a place I felt like I belong.

Weather outside: wind 30-40mph gusts to 60, severe santa anas. Dude out there with a leaf blower. My guy....what the fuck are you doing?

I will be bringing my camera to BLFC this year and would like to take photos of some of you wonderful folks in suit. No promises of good shots and it's not a paid gig, I just want practice, DM me if you'd like to meet up and be a subject!

A really cool drawover from one of my old photos from @dynamo-deepblue.bsky.social! Really happy with the result, there's just something about Stearman biplanes man... This photo won me a contest years back, it's still lovley, I just wish I had a higher resolution.

Sitting in somebody's photo shoot, figured I'd snap one of my own.  Why not, they're all staring at me to do something.

Oh man, I'm probably in for it.  At least I'm a good distance away with this lens. Nikon D810 W/Sigma 120-600mm f/5.6 AC2026

It must have been a blur, the unauthorized raves under a bridge while it rained. Long exposures are hard. AC2026

As somebody who has flown with @sashafox.bsky.social in a declared incident - you bet your ass I'd trust them in the skies.

So I am a transgender furry airline pilot. As far as I know, I am the ONLY transgender furry airline pilot. Somehow, this all feels personal. So let me assure you that I take my job extremely seriously, and I'm very good at it.

6F Karaoke, you're out of breath when you get there.  This was the reference image for a previous commission from Likeshine and it's a fantastic piece if you haven't seen her work! Nikon D810 w/Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8

Shibuya is just around the corner, but these alleyways are softly lit and are a welcoming respite. Nikon D810 w/NIkon 70-200mm f/2.8 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan

Instead of doing real content, TT showed me some old content I made. And all the information still holds and I think it's important stuff. So have this older video from voter registration day, which was actually 2 days ago, and get registered to vote! (Yeah it's on TT but I just don't care)

An intimate meal in a decidedly non intimate setting. I could really go for some noodles. Nikon D810 w/Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan

wow folks, appreciate the likes, shares, and watches. I hope my photography brings a little bit of visual joy to your scrolling! Thanks for stopping by!
