Lightbulbs

When you post on Instagram, you are turning a light bulb on forever. That’s not the reason why I quit instagram, again. But reading about that and how the computing power around AI can affect the environment pretty much seals the deal for me.

I’ve read the articles that talk about how social media is just as bad as smoking. It’s just amazing to me, how in 1994 I was on AOL, making geocities websites and now here we are, holding the planet and our souls together with tape.

I like finding people who look or seem to be down to try to have a conversation and get a photo. This guy didn’t disappoint. I gave him my card. I hope he reaches out. He had some interesting things to say. I want to see the things he talked about that he creates. Usually these conversations involve photography. Although, I am still waiting for someone to tell me about their love for astronomical engineering.

Some more photos from “Keeping Score” (that title will definitely change). While making these photos I saw my first Moms for Liberty hat in the wild. She most certainly didn’t want her photo taken so I didn’t. Have to protect that photo pass with my life. A candid photo would not have done this particular person justice. That’s the problem with this project, I get more results form candids than I do trying to get portraits. That in itself can pose problems. We live in fear someone will misrepresent us on social media. I believe this is an irrational fear but also one that is based from people ALWAYS BEING ONLINE. I want to be as fair as possible on this anthropological journey.

Generally, anyone wearing something space-influenced and has a beer or two always says yes to a photo.
