Somebody Else's Girl
McQ6 is writing again, or rather, lamenting about not being able to write. New job, family, vacations. . . cameras. His life is no more interesting than mine, but whose is in the Time of Covid?...

I don't know if I've posted this photo here before or not. My memory is bad and my files a mess. I don't think I have, though. Shot with the 4x5 Liberator camera and developed right here at home....

My body's getting old. It hurts constantly now. Long Covid? That's what I think, but you know, we weren't built to last. I'm tired all the time. I can do one thing and then I'm pretty much wiped...

Is it Friday? It doesn't seem like Friday. But then again, the sun has not yet risen, and I have been up for over an hour. Time change? I don't know. But I keep waking up long before dawn....

Fuck me. You know what I mean. It is not a come on. It is more of a c'mon. I don't know. I hate to complain, but what else is there to do? I think, "Look bud, some things are going well." Like...

Man. . . I wrote a morose blog entry last night. I thought I would post it this morning, but. . . I reread it. Holy smokes. It was pathetic, the sort of thing a man might mumble having masturbatory...

I don't even remember taking this picture, but I'm glad I did. It has sat untouched in a folder since it was taken over a decade ago. It was in S.F. but beyond that, I don't know WTF. But I'm...

I'm not even sure where it started. I sent some bullshit to Q telling him I had weighed myself at the gym and I didn't know how it was possible, but I had lost almost fifteen pounds. He bit. Of...

WARNING: Today's post is bound to be a mishmash of unrelated things. My ideas are not cohesive nor connected in any way. I will, however, endeavor to make them seem otherwise by the end of the post....

I will have to call my sponsor. I decided that I needed to drink last night. I don't know why, but I just felt the need. Perhaps it is the only tangible romantic thing in my life right now. I'll...

I saw this Polaroid on Instagram the other day. Oy! Who is making photos like this now? Turns out a whole lot of people, mostly non-Americans (un-Americans?). There are a few American women who do...

"Give a Nut a Gun." That's my campaign motto. I've got a 60/40 chance of winning on that platform in my state, the "Stand Your Ground" state. I'm trying to get a bunch of friends together to go to a...

Another early morning, another rainy day. When I was a kid, this was by far the best time of year. The air fairly hummed with excitement day and night. And there was football. We played it...

I'm fairly thrilled with the new Adobe tools in Photoshop and Lightroom. As I said when they were first released, pictures will never look the same again. Whether most people will be able to tell the...

I just love a girl who flashes a crowd, don't you? Do it when you're young, though. It is much more palatable. That's what I think, anyway, having a mirror and all. Maybe I'll show you a picture of...

God. . . I wish I had taken that photo. Sarah Moon, one of my favorite photographers, did. Only her photo is in black and white. Not quite. It is the color of old Polaroid 55 P/N film. I hand...

I had planned to write a long missive about the first Thanksgiving Day I spent away from home. In Key West. A long, long time ago. But I will not manage it today. I woke up with a pain in my right...

I felt bad yesterday. Real bad. My back, as previously reported, was a painful mess. But the rest of me did not feel well, either. I've been struggling with a variety of things for a couple of...

I haven't taken a photo for months now, not since I got sick with Covid. I was on a roll then, reaching out, making contacts, experimenting with new things. Since then, I've not had the energy to...
