Toy Photography – The Master Studies

I've been toying (lol) with the idea of doing action figure, scale model, and diorama photography for a while. My post The Calm After the Storm was my first diorama build. This is a custom character that I'll be using in a small series.

Postcrossing

I discovered Postcrossing recently and decided it fit neatly into my goal of being less chronically, and chaotically, online. Postcrossing is a website that facilitates the sending and receiving of postcards to people all over the world. I immediately loved the serendipity of it. It satisfies my interest in physical media, ephemera, and human story. And the excuse to buy more fountain pen ink and have my photos printed onto postcards doesn't hurt....

Through a Glass Freshly Windex-ed

Twenty years ago I would have said that colorizing historical black and white photos or film was nothing short of vandalism. I felt this way for two reasons. One, the technology wasn't nearly as good. You got results that were at best reminiscent of the hand-tinted photos you saw on old postcards and at worst looked like someone stabbed a photoshop document with the flood fill tool....

Little Boxes All the Same

One of the things I know about myself is I like boxes. I like frames, and physical boxes. I like ratios and fences. Wide open spaces are nice but intimidating. Endless possibilities are oppressive. I never liked studying biology because species are not well enough defined for me. What do you mean a toucan and an ostrich are both birds. Squids also have a beak, is that a bird?...

The Year in Photography: 2025

As we leave 2025 in our dust, let's take a look at some of the important stories from our little corner of the universe. Before we dive in, let me take a very defensive position, as one must on the internet these days, and say that I am not a journalist. I'm just a guy that likes things and has opinions....

Train Dreams

My ears perked up when I heard my coworker talking about the movie filming at the little church about 100 yards from the kitchen where I work. Exciting to hear, but I was hesitant. Most movies filmed in or around Spokane are straight-to-video fare, or low-budget passion projects. This one sounded different, though. It had William H. Macy in it. He's one of the best....

We'll start with The Bad. Our dachshund, Dwight Eisenhower, passed away just before Halloween. He was the best dog. He always wanted to be in the middle of whatever we were doing. I love him and miss him, and I am devastated by his absence. We love you forever, Dwight. The Decent Affinity did not go to a subscription…...

Trouble is brewing in the Adobe diaspora. Several years ago, Adobe went to a subscription based model. You would pay monthly for whichever apps you wanted. I was paying about $10 for Lightroom and Photoshop and a handful of free extras. It wasn't a bad deal, and I was happy to continue using it but then they went all-in with AI tools -- despite a vocal percentage of their user base not wanting that....

If you follow me on Instagram, you have no doubt seen my recent work with "faux tintypes". Images I take with a digital camera and then tweak in Affinity Photo to emulate the look of a late-19th-, early 20-century tintype image. For reference, this is what an actual tintype looks like: If you want to see more of the look I'm after, I highly recommend you look at the work of…...
