Make pictures while you wait for your car to be worked on.

Took a few friends out hiking yesterday. It’s been a while since I’d been to this spot, so it felt good to share it with them. I had a couple psilocybin gummies before we set out, so the hike was peak beautiful with the sunshine we had. 🌞 Here are a few selects from the day. If anything catches your eye, I can make prints - signed, of course. 📷 Leica M262 🛠 Edited in Lightroom + Dehancer Film #photography #photostr #artstr #noicemag

Simple is good. Simple is easier. Simple is more profitable.

You can just do what you wanna do

Spent some time at the library yesterday working on some art. As I was leaving to head back to my car, I noticed a woman standing by it. Turns out, she’d scraped the side of my car while backing out of her parking spot. Thankfully, it wasn’t too bad - just something that needed a little buffing. I stayed cool about it, which is just how I handle things, and she did too. Neither of us wanted to go through insurance. She called a cop to assess the situation, and he was super chill as well. She even offered to cover the repair costs, saying she could pay cash or card - whatever I preferred. (I briefly thought, “#bitcoin?”… but figured that conversation was out of place.) I took my car to the body shop around the corner and got a quote: only $50. I called her, she came by, and paid ahead of time so I could get it fixed on Tuesday. The best part of it all was when she gave me $100 just for “being a good sport about the situation.” LIterally made money from all of this which is quite funny. The lesson? Maybe not a hard-and-fast rule, but a solid reminder: playing it cool is always the best route.

I did the album art 🤞🏼 View quoted note →

In most cases, it’s best to remove the superfluous. Small distractions can pull attention away from the essence of an image - or whatever you’re focusing on. The same goes for photography. Sometimes black and white is the better choice if color doesn’t add anything. Having both options in your toolkit - and knowing when to use them - is what separates a “keeper” from a “non-keeper.” I’m a fan of color - I love exploring tonalities and textures. But sometimes a photo just looks better in black and white. After years of looking at images, it often becomes a simple decision. It’s subjective, of course, but as Plato said, “the beautiful is easy to discern.” These photos were taken yesterday on a quick hike with my Leica M262 and edited in Lightroom + Dehancer Film. Feel free to use code “Pictureroom” for 10% off - I love the program:

Dehancer plugin for Ps, LrC, C1, APh

Powerful color grading with realistic film stocks, grain, halation, and vintage film effects.
