Pretty much agree with this. The camera I always have on me (ie the phone) doesn’t motivate me whatsoever.

There was a verbal agreement made that Diana could photograph these barns and I can’t wait to see how she captures them over time, through the seasons. Hope you enjoy our latest art drop → https://open.substack.com/pub/pappasbland/p/artdrop23-april2025?r=35g9gg&utm_medium=ios

From ‘Edge’ by David Ricci. A great book I got out from the library recently by a photographer local to us here in western MA. #photostr #photography

I’m really enjoying tending to the feed I built on our website. It’s freeing to have somewhere to share images that don’t easily fit elsewhere within how we organize our work. Visit → https://pappasbland.com/feed

This time of year here in western #massachusetts we have what is known as ‘mud season’. Snow is melting, ground is thawing, and as you can imagine everything turns to mud. It’s not pretty, so Diana went looking for spring in a greenhouse nearby. #photography #photostr #artstr

Ha ha, nice, got there in the end. It’s been years for me too.

This is how it looked in the late summer of 2023.

Went to visit a parking lot in New Jersey that I first photographed in the summer of 2023. Amazing how these arrows and the asphalt have weathered in 18months. Didn’t have the real camera with me unfortunately.

Thank you for the kind words Stu. It would be awesome to make a print for you one day. We have a Permanent Collection on our website, or to stay up to speed on our very latest work you should sign up to our mailing list (link in bio). We publish all our new work there, direct to your inbox, once or twice a month.

Thanks Stu!

Nice, I had some fun with a Holga many years ago. Don’t have one at the moment but we do have a Diana F+ which is pretty similar. Love the light leaks!

For sure, we are here and hoping to start receiving #bitcoin from our clients too once I can set it up, or, at least have a way to immediately and automatically convert their USD to BTC when they pay.
