I know I can be a bit of a mystery but… …if you were ever curious about what my ideal Friday Night Date is? It’s Burgers and Butt Sex. It’s more fun between the buns. Hope you had a happy pride weekend. Happy pretty epic Full Moon. #filmphotography #35mm #photography #pride #corvair
"I always hope that the images I share work both the feeling of despair and optimism holding hands. You don’t know what light is without embracing the shadows. There’s surprising light that gleams brightest because it is surrounded by darkness." #35mm #filmphotography #photography #california
Post a car that matches its surroundings. #weirdcarbs #BelieveInFilm (Luckily it's my own car)
No one that looks like this truly gets Black music like lmaooo PLEASE
“C&H, C&H, Mommy uses it to bake her cakes”… If you didn’t sing this as you went across the Carquinez Bridge as a kid, you not like us. #35mm #filmphotography #photography #corvair #bayareabackroads
Call it International if you must, but I’ll always call it East 14th. It’s one helluva street. Probably the most Oakland Street of Oakland. #filmphotography #35mm #photography #oakland #streetphotography
You would think because it’s been Corvair mania for an almost 5 solid months, I *haven’t* been paying attention to other classic cars. *WRONG* So here’s the juicy booty of somebody else’s vintage ride. In this case a Vanden Plas Princess 4 Litre. #35mm #Filmphotography #parkedcar #photography
It was a calm Friday solo brunch. I hadn’t been in since before I made the drive move to Portland. I hope in a few weeks time I’m taking a cute co-pilot here for a heavy meal and necessary drip coffee before I drive east. #35mm #filmphotography #photography #Oakland
I told the owner that the only other place I could get Salmon Croquettes made for me would be by my mom. I don’t think I’ve eaten anything else off the menu besides the Reggie Jackson Special. #35mm #filmphotography #photography
If you can vibe with that, I might think you’re extra cute. The sad part of the world is there’s so few of these spots left. I felt a need to honor one of my faves, Lois The Pie Queen, before this whole move to Philly business becomes super real. #35mm #filmphotography #photography
I was saying to Josh a few weeks ago how I used to test potential boyfriends by taking them to diners. Vinyl booths, syrup that’s only maple in name only, fat fucking pancakes, surly wait staff that really actually cares deeply that you enjoy the comfort food. #35mm #filmphotography #photography
Yeah, the flashback first image really made me go look at what I had from that trip, and its among some of my favorite shit I did earlier on with film photography.
The irony is I think I took more photos of Tulelake than I did of Lava Beds tho...
Teddy: “Why in gods name are you in Tulelake?” I’ve really put my boys through the ringer with some of my travel choices. Teddy still be like “bitch but you might die!” Tule Lanes, Tulelake, CA October 2016. #filmphotography #35mm #photography #landscapephotography
Anyways let’s make out and more in the front seat of a 1956 Buick Super? Or fuck in the back seat? Up to you.
“Ruler of my heart Robber of my soul Where can you be? I wait patiently My heart cries out Pain inside Where can you be? I wait patiently When you’re alone Going gets rough Come back, come back, come back baby I’ve had enough” #filmphotography #photography #35mm #Corvair #valentinesday
Somewhere on San Pablo Avenue, trust me, you can still get an international range of coiffures. #filmphotography #photography #35mm #ABrandNewHairdo
I really did double down & said I'd ride out the death throes of imperialism in a fucking Turquoise Corvair. Harlan is right, I'm wild as fuck. Pry driving enjoyment from my cold dead hands muhahahahaha. Anyways... #35mm #filmphotography #photography #fuckice #corvair #seetheusainyourchevrolet
Like literally did the same shit in a Whole Foods parking lot in Vancouver, Washington in a 1990 Sedan DeVille like lmaooo please
Just cackling at, and perhaps crying at the fact, that this is still fucking relevant 9 years after Zach sent me this trying to flirt/make being a Sagittarius seem like a better deal than being a Gemini.
For what a beautifully strange love world we could have if we paid attention to what’s already beautiful about it. #filmphotography #35mm #photography #lgbtq
For whatever reason it’s prompted a great deal of admiration filtered through melancholy, that because of this societal moment I feel pressed to document. Pressed in that I need to see it as real, as a possibility for a future I long to create, and demonstrate for others. #35mm #filmphotography
Ever since New Years Eve I’ve seen what to me, observationally, looks like queer definitions of love and companionship. #35mm #filmphotography #photography #lgbtq
6 weeks and counting til I bust out of this joint. Posting this on Bluesky is like having this conversation on College Avenue, but when I was 10, Oakland was 46-47% Black. Y'all don't want negroes here and it's fine to admit that lol. Philly is gonna be so refreshing.
“post a car picture you took” lol fine and easy for me, lmaooo. Take it away Fishtown…. #filmphotography #620mm #mediumformat #Packard #Cadillac #AskTheManWhoOwnsOne #BestOfAllItsACadillac #Philadelphia #Philly
I mean, but Philly read me for filth on this matter so 🙃 (I guess it pays to run in a coven of witches).
San Francisco is literally the vortex to hell at this point.
Sometimes it’s okay to be *THAT* tourist. #35mm #filmphotography #photography #drivethrutree #corvair
Driving thru San Francisco on the James Lick Skyway these days might as well be like driving thru a remake of John Carpenter’s “They Live.” All that’s going on but most importantly, buy a new iPhone… #filmphotograhy #photography #35mm #trafficjam
