(4/4) I’ll end my intro with a cheerful and uplifting quote from The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles, 1949. It’s too long, so here is a screenshot of text, which feels quite hacky 😑

I didn’t know about the Brandon Lee connection. He planned to use this quote on his wedding invitations, but instead it went on his tombstone. Ugh!

(3/4) I sold my SLRs recently and now use an iPhone. It fits what I want to do: travel light, stay in the moment, keep it simple.

I don’t regret the switch, but definitely lose some pictures I just can't make! Plus, I’m still figuring out how to process Apple ProRAW without Lightroom. This is Veteran's Memorial Pier in Bay Ridge. March, 2024.

(2/4) I've been taking pictures since age 12, but don't kid myself that this is serious work. I just like framing images and would miss it badly if I stopped. This is from the Metro-North station in Poughkeepsie, NY.

(1/4) Er… hi! An intro in four parts, using #krib to collect them.

I'm GenX and have never used social media for personal interests. Even a decade ago, Instant Graham felt sleazy—and Twitter toxic and shrill. 2024 Flickr is more of a cultural archive, so I'm mainly here to share photos.

I can only start with Sophie. Just over a year old, still full of beans, looking to go hard at any opportunity. Here's a brief moment at rest.
