While social media platforms have their uses, I don't love the notion of them being the only repository for those odds and ends photos that I take and feel the impulse to share. So, here's a compilation of my Facebook/Instagram/Twitter photo posts from April through June, on my own little corner of the open web.

Headshot photo I took of myself for work. If in early May you spotted someone outside the Burrowes Building setting up a camera, hitting the timer, jumping in front of it, then frowning at the results and doing it over and over again for about forty minutes, that was me.

Looking forward to seeing how this roll comes out. I’ve shot with HP5 before, and it came out a little grainier than I’d like, so I thought I’d try this. Also mis-cut this box end.

Black and white. Small park building (restrooms) on a sunny day. Three surrounding trees cast harsh shadows on the pavement. — May 30, 2022

I do have more blog posts and social media series in the pipeline. These include, among others, various sets of COVID-19 signage, a collection of photos of control panels and buttons that I'm pretty excited about, and photos from our France 2018 trip that I'm still slowly editing.

What keeps this held up is that I've made a concerted effort to keep up with editing the photos that I take. This includes iPhone photos, so that means that every night or two I'm churning through a batch of new pics, and there's precious little time to put together other content into a form that's worth sharing.

Still, I want to eventually get to sharing these other projects, it may just be a few weeks or months until I get there.
