Closing out my #FP4Party posts with a few more shots from the Graflex up in/near #Asheville. These are from Craggy Pinnacle. They're not perfect but well worth carrying my camera up that trail.

I shot a few rolls and sheets of #IlfordFP4 over the last few weeks, so I'm finally ready for a few entries for #FP4Party.
I'll start with a shot from my #Graflex in/near #Asheville. This particular shot was from an overlook on the #BlueRidgeParkway heading toward Craggy Gardens. Shot with a red filter. The 3000 px resolution doesn't do it justice…zooming in on the treeline on the full 4x5 scan is awesome. I've included a snippet of a screenshot as an example.

A great video from the #AVLWatchdog on one of the deaths at Mission Hospital since HCA purchased the system in 2019.
No one is blaming the nurses. This is all down to HCA and their abysmal cost-cutting, leaving untrained, and badly over-loaded staff caring for very sick patients.

Welp Western NC, if youre hacking and feel like breathing probs.. its ozone..
Our promised rain has barely dampened the sidewalks here, but perhaps another few hundredths are coming before it all moves east and the temperatures (supposedly) plummet. As it's already 62 here, I'm ready.
Happy Easter, #Asheville

Our city's independent bookstore needs your help!
My local anticapitalist, antifascist, LGBTQIA+ friendly, anarchist, super ultra crunchy, cooperatively owned, and self described "radical bookstore" is falling on tough times.
Hurricane Helene was a doozy y'all, a ton of small businesses like this are closing with no plans on reopening. The FEMA payments meant to help Asheville and WNC are being bogged down in a bunch of red tape, so many of us haven't seen a dime of them yet, even though some of it is earmarked to help small business. And, although tourism is coming back (and we're very very open for business!) the shock to the system was just too big for a lot of folks.
I've seen long-standing cornerstorne-of-the-neighborhood places just like this wink out of existence without any warning, only to be replaced by exploitative, soul-sucking corporate owned chains run by people who don't even live or pay their taxes in our community. I don't want to keep seeing this happen to the town I grew up in.
These are good people who provide an essential service to our city: being some of the loudest, most outspoken defenders of our human rights, and providing civic minded reading material you won't find anywhere else.
They sell books other people don't want you to read, and that generally means those are books you're obligated to read.
Also, they once hosted the backroom of their bookstore out as a viewing space for a no-budget student film I helped make like a decade ago and they were real cool about it so-long-as everyone we invited to the screening bought a coffee or a book. Do you think Barnes & Nobel would do that? Would Amazon?
Check 'em out! Buy a banned book! Become a sustaining member of one of the best independent bookstores around!
