Happy Skyrim Day everybody!
10 years ago on release day, I skipped class and downed a four pack of Yoo-hoo and a half gallon of Bo's sweet tea during my first 12 hour session

Earlier this week I went to Kmart.
The closest one was 300 miles away.
I shot a couple rolls of color film to document this surreal experience.

Everybody knows who Steve Jobs is. Not everybody knows Edwin Land. Both had an immeasurable impact on humanity, and Steve took loads out of Edwin's playbook.

Original 90s or gtfo. You heard the (presumably) man. I expect nothing but only 90s content from here on out. Screw the 80s tech and DON'T YOU DARE talk about any games or tech released after Dec 31st, 1999 on *your* channel

After my recent trip to Chicago, I got to thinking about how physically processing film and mentally processing life have some similarities.
this is also sort of a super small sneak preview of the whole trip video, if you're interested

For those of y'all still awake at -5 GMT here's a new video for you! Let's take a look at how mistakes help our photography.
For the rest of y'all - I'll tweet it out again tomorrow (er, today) morning.

I need 30 more subs on YouTube to hit 1000. Do me a favor and subscribe if you're not already? Seeing a nice, round 1K would be very satisfying

Let me get a small Saturday night complaint in real quick.
I wish there weren't ads on *my* videos that I'm watching from *my* YouTube account.

Worst thing about Twitter? Not the trolls, or the bots. Not even the ads in a thread. No, it's the scrolling down, seeing a post that I start reading, and then the feed suddenly refreshes and that post is lost in the ether

Hi.
If you're like "man, Luke hasn't posted a video in almost a month now wtf," just know that there are a few in the works. I have no idea when they'll be out, but they're coming!
Spending 40 hrs/wk in Premiere for work has sapped my will to spend much of my free time in there

It's a long one, folks! Got a fresh video for you, packed to the brim with vintage computer goodness and simply too many rolls of film.

Still doesn't seem real, but I got a full-time video editing job! Now I can finally unsubscribe from a multitude of online job boards and not get so many F-ing emails 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Apologies for the radio silence the last couple weeks-ish. Been getting acclimated to the new job and figuring out a routine and whatnot. New video coming sometime tomorrow!

The overwhelming, crushing weight of existing in this modern world
Nothing makes sense
I wish I could understand
But everything's garbled
And tanks by daylight don't give me comfort
While the cognitive dissonance reeks
Buy this product
Don't forget to fight for your lives

My audience isn't very big, but whatever. I may or may not have a video coming this week, as a result of the protests. I've been on the streets marching in solidarity and trying my best to amplify those whose voices matter more than mine right now

Its been a whirlwind couple months, so I haven't had much time to work on a video for this week. Instead of farting out something I'm not happy with, I'm taking some time to mentally regroup and plan out the course for the next several videos. New stuff next week!

It takes a little bit of science, and maybe a good bit of magic, but you can develop film with coffee. Bonkers.
