Pissing in the wind.

Jan 5. 2025

So lately the online culture. The people and content has become a little stagnent. It gets a little repeatative between pages or events. Sometimes with the same photographers and vidiographers being in the forefront, styles just trickle down and everyone is doing the same thing.

Be it color tones. Black and white retro looks. Moving vehicles and people. It seems to jump around and before you know it everyone is doing the same shit.

I recently started playing with AI. Not on my photography. That has been present already since the first photo edit program came out. It is anything you didnt snap with the camera, anything you cant change by using darkroom skills to manipulate your exposures or dodge and burn enlarge ect. Hats off to those in the dark room your real.

If you scan you are using digital and that is that. Not debating the film debate again I know my shit. I dont need to debate.

The point of this one today I guess is do what makes ya happy. Also dont do what makes you happy. Dont fall into a trap of not being creative because you see others with images that some like more than your on the socials. Socials suck ass. They are a tool for the end product. And can be good for networking.

Its the point of a handshake that matters. I have tried to put a handshake to every bike or car I have ever taken a photo of. Its important to me. A cool chopper or classic pan is only as cool as getting to know who put thier touches on the bike.

I have been creative. And some of mine came from blatantly seeing another photographers photo and thinking holy shit. And wanting a shot like it.

In that moment turn your creativety cap on and start playing with your settings and create. I didnt get the exact result. And I love that more. It inspired me. My intention was a blatant goal of copying the exact composition. In doing so and playing around I found a similiar groove of my own I started having fun with.

The photo was one Dean Landry took outside Vincents Bar in Mass. And funny thing is I have had a few chats with him about it. To let him know im not ripping you off. “You inspire me.” is what is said. And thats what we should all be doing. Inspiring each other. Not becoming jealous over each other. Trying to be origanal while also trying to emulate something you see.

Every photog I have ever nerded out has given me something to walk away with and think on and put in the tool box that is my brain.

Every photo here today is a post directly from my drive of scans. No digital used aside from the scanning process and whatever the lab hit on it. Which now my lab does zero corrections at my request.

A bee buzzed by me lately. It was buzzing that some didnt care for my attitude, or my flow, or my approach. My lack of being able to pump out all the content I shoot. Or deliver the prints you all want but dont ever give the full info on sizes and orders and numbers. This is a very very small group.

Sadly yesterday I shredded a pile of prints. Customers didnt pay and left me hanging. Guess what. FUCK YOU.

Whats really sad is I had other people closer to me. Some that support so solid its insane. They wanted stuff and I was hunting down files and could not deliver. This is on me for lack of proper back up. It is about 90% rectified at this point.

I guess im rambling, there is no need to have weird vibes torward me. If you ever have a question ask it im human and always try to stay positive. Also there is no need to be weird if you dont want me shooting. Or showing up somewhere I see posted.

So this is out there.. if you have a beef with me call me. Don’t have my number and want it. Hit me on the dm somewhere. But dont talk shit behind my back. Its not cool. Grow up. Be happy in your own shoes. This person knows who they are. Dont be a fuckin PUSSY.

Thanks and sorry if this ramble is all over. Had to get it out. And have deceided not to backspace to be nice anymore. Im just being me.

So have a great weekend. Stay Krackin. And FT entire W. In a good way.
