I started practicing photography 20 years ago with a simple digital point-and-shoot, and have loved every outing since. Always looking for that ineffable quality in a photo that makes my attention light up. I do boost NSFW content but only if it has a content warning and it's always because the photo itself is fascinating.

This photo means a lot to me … I had to run around the traffic circle to align the sunburst with the top of the Azadi Tower.

When I visited the top level, I made a point of standing in the center window of each of the four sides.

Whenever I see a photo of the tower, whatever the circumstance, I can say with certainty that I was *there*.

Taken ~ New Years Day of ’79 … I left Tehran for the final time on January 3.

My parents got out the day before the Shah closed the airport.

The beautiful Azadi Tower, with the sun peeking out at the top through the smoggy Tehran sky. 

I terrified my parents getting this shot, but I had to do it. I remember feeling absolutely compelled, despite their protests. I believe I told them I had to do it.

Hey any east bay trans photographers out there wanna meet up?

I'm thinking of starting a photo group / zine (shoutout to @rooster) centered around slice of life photography of the trans experience in the east bay.

The idea is inspired by the group formed by Ansel Adams and friends, f/64 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_f/) which pushed back against pictorial photography of the 20s and instead aimed to embrace photography as a medium in its own right. Their work was frequently extremely political in its use of straight photography to reproduce a scene as they see it and understand it, rather than using it to build a pictorial image. In this sense, their photography acted as a testament to the way they saw the world, in all its problems: environmental, economic, bigoted; and aimed to lay those problems bare on their film

F64.0 is the ICD-10 code for transexualism.

In short, this project f/64.0 is a photographic depiction of trans life as we see it and as we experience it, during a period where our existences are politicized and used for purposes beyond ourselves. Just as f/64 used straight photography to ground their medium in its material realities and pull it back from pictorialism, f/64.0 does the same to root trans existence and pull it back from politicization.

Works by American photographer Tyler Mitchell, 2010s-20s, whose imagery seeks "to visualize what a Black utopia looks like or could look like."

Photo of a young Black man submerged in a lake surrounded by green trees, head just above the water, eyes closed, and face reflected below his chin. A cluster of large colorful balloons floats above him, its strings going down into the water.Photo of an outdoor laundry line holding large light blue sheets, with some bushes in the foreground and trees seen in the background. Two silhouettes pose together behind one of the sheets, one with hands on their hips and other leaning their elbow on the first one's shoulder.Photo of three Black teens playing in a grassy field flanked by two concrete apartment buildings. Two are balanced on a skateboard (one dressed in loose-fitting pale blue sweats and hoodie and the other shirtless with pajama pants), and they are pushing the third teen in a grocery cart as he looks back at them smiling, wearing a loose pale blue outfit.Photo of two Black figures dressed in white posing in a studio with wooden floor and a tall backdrop of blue sky with wispy white clouds over another backdrop showing repetitive windows on a city building. One figure stands back to us by the wall, holding their hand up to touch the printed sky. The other sits in a carved wooden chair, crossing his right leg and staring out at the viewer.

today:

-Woke up.
-Got out of bed.
-Dragged a comb across my head.

Okay. The third one is a lie. But I did make my way downstairs and had a cup.
