I just lost an entire Friday night to discovering a whole ton of people making really interesting things off of suggestions from Instagram. You got me, algorithm, but no regrets. Gonna inspire me to make more interesting things myself in 2026 and beyond.

I am a file packrat! I just learned over time that so many clients are not ... and they lose files and then I am the go-to for file retrieval. Only I have all my folders on external backup drives. #FreelanceFriends

3 apples in a person's hand
About a month ago I discovered there's an apple tree growing in amongst a bunch of ash trees and brambles at the end of my property. I picked some today and they were delicious.
Nice! At one point in time, I even had an enlarger and all the stuff to develop film.
I think I'm going to get back into shooting black and white photos on 35mm film.

Muffin making takes serious focus.
