Seeing "The Samurai and the Prisoner," a film by Kiyoshi Kurosawa at @filmliverpool.bsky.social in August with director Q&A. Very excited about this and will now have to go back and rewatch his films. 📽️

Nobel lectures are a minor art form, and Krasznahorkai is the master among masters. So happy this is now in book form by @ndbooks.bsky.social www.ndbooks.com/book/enough-...

Went to the Center for #Photography in Woodstock last weekend to see Ocean Vuong's exhibition as well as Nona Faustine's. Both were wonderful in their own way.

Amused by the Republicans who are jumping ship now. So…the concentration camps (etc!) weren’t enough, but high gas prices really do it?

Post by Dan Rather:
“It's tempting to use the analogy of rats fleeing a sinking ship to describe the growing number of Republican elected officials starting to speak out against Donald Trump. But that's really not fair to rats, who tend not to be complicit in driving ships to the bottom of the sea.”

I bought three roles of #Leica Monopan 50 last August on backorder at B&H. Just delivered, and they're sold out on the site already. Been on the waiting list at a Leica store for months. Why use a film at all when it's so rare? Utterly ridiculous. I still #believinfilm, just not this film!

This is a cool list of 100 best movie theaters in the world, though missing the tiny gem, Theater De Uitkijk in Amsterdam. These places (Like @filmforumnyc.bsky.social in NYC) are the heart of the movies to my mind. 📽️

Ah winter. We’ll miss you not when you’re gone, but you are pretty.

My day is always better when I have lunch at Factory Tamal.

About now, longing for summer and remembering the Down the Rabbit Hole Festival in The Netherlands from last year. #leica #m6TTL #portra

Took a walk through the massive Van Cortland Park this morning to enjoy the snow before it (please please) melts away. #leica #m10m

You can’t really see the tub of popcorn in the photo, but this is me in my happy place. Six+ hours of Antonioni/Vitti yesterday. #film

Finally! Follow labels in Qobuz. What’s great feature. Can’t say for sure but I think that’s unique for streaming services

Wendell Berry, eat your heart out. Love this!

I can only muse over what a classic style street photo this would have been had I merely composed and focused properly! Just owning mistakes here (and somehow more comfortable posting them). #believeinfilm #leicam6 hp5+ #Voigtlander Nokton 75mm

I’m not a Wes Anderson super fan but his films are great to see on the big screen

Figured out the best way to scan #film negatives with my #Leica setup (so only need the one digital camera). I’m using the Macro Elmar 90mm, but instead of the Macro Adapter, I’m using the Elpro 52. Very close to a true macro lens! Also, Valoi Easy 35, which helps make everything consistent.

It's not NYC without a rush hour subway meltdown. Yet, all these people were quite kind to one another getting out (this station uses elevators to exit). And a woman who saw me hanging out at the turnstiles (figuring out how to get home) offered to take care of my subway fare. #filmIsNotDead

This view of Manhattan, from Williamsburg, always gives me a sense of what the skyline might have looked like a century ago. #believeInFilm

The opening for the Bruce Davidson/Sara Messinger exhibit at #Leica NYC was huge and tons of fun. Really great photo community here.

Saw Sinners at the Village East Angelica tonight in 70mm. Thoroughly fun movie.

When #film development goes horribly wrong.

The conversation with Matt Black in his work American Geography and American Artifacts could easily have gone on longer than the two hours. He's such an authentic and impassioned #photographer keeping the documentary tradition alive. Thanks to picturehouse + thesmalldarkroom!
