Sending best wishes, Matt. Where’s the store so I can buy me some books?

Done, as well. Where’s the bookstore, do you know?

Matt is a treasure. So is the bookstore. Avail yourselves!

I know you’re not looking for films but the documentary Sacred by Thomas Lennon is stunningly beautiful and I think would make a great fit. (I can’t seem to include a link but google it)

And to my shock and surprise, I’ve found I love writing.

(Btw, you may not be fishing but I’ll bite anyway. You ARE great at it.)

I don’t consider myself a writer, I’m a documentary filmmaker. But ever since I launched a Substack 3 months ago and decided a new post needs to come out weekly, well, maybe I am at that. And once I ask for paid subscriptions (soon, very soon!) I can even call myself a professional writer, woo hoo!

I’m tired of Instagram so I’m posting my photos here. Hopefully will provide a bit of relief from all the non-stop wretched news.

Nobody sees my Bluesky posts, so I’ll put up some favorite photos here and there for my own amusement.

An ever-changing film about art and creativity that itself is a work of art. And in this age of generative AI, could well go down as a landmark in cinema.

Incompetence may turn out to be the only guardrail.

Why can’t Bluesky be a place for #photograhy?

Jello. Cranberry sauce close behind.

Nope. And the price isn’t right at all.

Trump Won Less Than 50 Percent. Why Is Everyone Calling It a Landslide? — POLITICO Right and left have bought the narrative of a crushing triumph. They’re wrong.

Exactly. It’s infuriating!
