Albania Journal 2023 has arrived. This is only the starting point. Each page will be “worked over” with writing, paint, pen, tape, glue, and maybe some gold flake if the price drops. #journal #print

Battle lines being drawn. Good, healthy, ageism is always entertaining. Last year the sign read 25, but apparently things have changed. #gettingold

Trade books are one of Blurb's best-kept secrets. Printed on the same pro-level printers as our photo books, they're just as color-accurate and bookstore quality. But the price point means you get more bang for your buck. blurb.com/trade-books

Stefan Falke, NYC-based editorial and corporate photog, started photographing New Yorkers the moment he heard about COVID-19. We talked about his client work, long-term projects, and self-published book, "Keep Going New York !!" youtube.com/watch?v=pYY_aRDp…

First porta-potty experience of the season. Traumatized. Summer is over.

Just overheard. “Your mother looks so thin in these photos.” “Thanks, that’s back when all the housewives were on speed.”

I get asked for headshots all the time, for my ⁦@BlurbBooks⁩ work. I don’t really take selfies and always seem to avoid the camera, but Michael Zeyda made this during our time in Albania, and it’s just my kind of portrait. Dark and shadowy. #portrait

It only took me fifty-four years to discover the white gel pen, but I did get a D in college algebra. I think these two things are related. #journaling

I like to bake my Instax in the sun. There is one major sequence change I would make here and it drives me crazy. The fact I ever thought this sequence would work makes me feel like I know nothing. #Albania #print

Three years of shooting in-camera multiple exposures while teaching in Albania. These are gimmicky but work when time is limited. And there is a certain skill in producing them. #Albania

Camera to phone to Instax. Then the pen comes into play. The horrendous handwriting, well, that took a lifetime. #journal. #Albania

Been making a few portraits this year while making my way through the wilds of Albania. This dude, Aron, was a cool cat who shed a little light on Albanian history for me. A quote machine. #Albania #AG23

Amount of plutonium released in ‘Vixen B’ nuclear trials at #Maralinga (1960-63) versus ‘Fat Man’ bomb over Nagasaki (1945). 24,100 years after VizenB tests, there will still be almost two Nagasaki bombs worth of plutonium scattered around the Maralinga. #visualization
