09/16/26, San Francisco // Fujifilm X-S20 // XF XF27mmF2.8 I started reading The Nerd Reich the other day and my desire to capture scenes from the epicenter of a lot of the current mess we're in came back in full swing.

09/04/26, San Francisco (Embarcadero & Mid-Market) // Fujifilm X-S20 // XF XF27mmF2.8 My hatred of the tech industry is growing exponetially.

It’s not every time I’m out on a photowalk, but it’s often enough that’s it’s starting to piss me off—someone will see my camera and ask about what pictures I’m taking or what kind of camera it is I’m using, things of that nature.

I had been stuck for the past month up till yesterday of wanting desperately to make music but only being able to make a couple 8 or 16 bar loops that went nowhere.

I'd been thinking about the Hank Green Situation again today, and how bizarre his framing of it was: he got addicted to the "level of dopamine" the chatbots were giving him.

07/27/26, Goin' to the Buddhist temple // Fujifilm X-S20 // XF27mmF2.8 R WR I was reading this fantastic paper on the history and science of cyanotypes last night instead of sleeping and I drifted off thinking about how I could get into the cyanoworld with

Over-the-air TV in my (bay) area is hit-or-miss but when it hits, it gets weird.

07/05/26, Lake Merritt // Fujifilm X-S20 // XF 16-50mm Taking pictures through a pair of public binoculars is not easy and the pictures are bad.

The radical centrists would have you believe that nothing good can ever happen in America.

A lot of times I'll get back home from a photowalk and see that none of the shots turned out all that great.

Today, I put my VHS copy of It!

I wanted to make something that feels like one of those inexplicable 19 year old videos that pop up on your YouTube home page, like an oasis in the desert, and you're like "Thank fuck, something without an ad read".

I couldn't get a picture but my new favorite yard sign looked like this: All other yard signs that aren't as good as this one should go — like, does anybody need to know who you want to be mayor?

I bought the entirety of Peanuts for peanuts on Thursday and have been binging it with great interest.

My girlfriend is on a long-term mission to show me all the classic anime I never got around to.

Last week on bluesky, the something app, I was like "hey if you get me this synth i'll make you an album with it" — thinking no one would take me up on the offer.

And who says commercial radio sucks eggs?

It's too easy for me to let a day slip on by.

I saw someone say that online yesterday and it's been rolling around my head ever since.

Earlier today, after we got done yelling with each other about how we hate the world we live in, my girlfriend was telling me about pre-Marx utopian thinkers... trying their best.

I've been having a nearly impossible time getting started doing anything.

You're allowed to make a cartoon whenever you want.

My best, proudest American quality (probably the only one I possess and could actually be proud of) is my ability to bullshit.

Taken over the course of the day // Fujifilm FinePix F40fd I'm back going on walks purely to take pictures.

Why does she have to be the only thing happening in music at any given point?

Life.

I'm pissed off. people keep asking the ceo reasonable questions about this and all she can do is say stuff like "violence is violence and it can't be the solution. the heart of the mind is the home of soul and that's where we should all live" [image or em…

I put my e-mail at the bottom of every post on here and encourage questions, as well as things that are more of a comment than a question.

IT IS EASIER THAN EVER TO EXPERIENCE ...

1959's best Z grade sci-fi film about a boy simply too kind & shy to kill all life on Earth, the girl who loves him, and the grandpa who sleeps on the couch.

My Tascam Portastudio journey this year has been so fulfilling in many tiny and large ways.

I'm not sure why I didn't post about this last week when we did the "pilot" episode but today, it's official—I've got a new weekly podcast with my good friend Meys.

Nicky Flowers - 08/20/25 - It's hard not to just play with the Portastudio all day every day. - (send any comments/questions to hello at nickyflowers dot com)

It's been so long since it rained here.

I think YouTube needs more short, ad-less videos that are just for fun.
