Aram

Hi, new people! My name is Aram. I am a queer Armenian who has played TTRPGs for 40 years and produced gaming podcasts for the last decade. I am the co-producer of @killeverymonster.bsky.social and the co-founder of @deadghost.bsky.social. I also played a "malicious twink" on Unprepared Casters.

The subject for my photo club's monthly competition in December is "Intentional Camera Movement." "The technique involves in-camera motion blur, combining a slow shutter speed with camera motion to create a sense of movement." I feel like I will need the whole two months to get this down.

Playing with morning light and double exposures.

"There is, of course, a process: It’s the election, and the Alaska Supreme Court has already ruled in on how it is to be carried out."

I just got asked if one of my photos was AI, by a guy using an AI profile with AI images all over his timeline. And like...dude, how can you not tell the difference? You make this shit. How have you not developed any eye at all?

The river was glass tonight.

"Hi, I tried to refill the new Adderall prescription you gave me last month?" "You cannot refill that until we see you again." "Okay...it looks like the first available slot is February 1st?" "Correct." "You can see the problem here, right?" Healthcare is a very bad joke.

Late night wandering.

Went for a walk this morning with my camera.

It is incredibly funny that some Republican dark money group sent Tommy there to try and trip Abdul up and instead Tommy got bodied so hard the aftermath requires a professional wrestling announcer to adequately describe the damage.

Porsche putting a big red button that deactivates all the driver assist tech that screams "ON YOUR OWN" in all-caps is perfection.

I am such a sucker for cars. The flying part was, of course, mind blowing. But the little pop-DOWN headlights? I love those so very much. He’s still a Nazi and I hope the car is a failure, but it is damn impressive.

Whenever I stay in an AirBnB, my favorite game is "count all the things that are broken."

new EPISODE about a TRAIN which DERAILED at a place where that was LIKELY TO HAPPEN with @garethdennis.uk

Practicing intentional camera movement for an upcoming competition at my local photo club.

I’ve been to this bakery dozens of times, and always wondered why they had fire trucks and hats decorating the place. Then I looked up while I was eating my bagel this morning.

Spent the day with these boys during the peak of summer. Good lads.

I picked up a nifty little piece of photography gear recently. It is a small SD card holder shaped like a Mac folder. It holds 4 regular and mini SD cards, reads both types with dedicated slots for each, has a USB-C port, and the handle doubles as a USB-C connection. It never leaves my bag.

More evening wandering with my camera.

I haven't driven in over 20 years, but I'd get my license again if it meant a new CV2.

Strange how their version of Christianity can always come out in favor of horrible cruelty but never like, I don't know, helping anyone.

Took a long walk to clear my head with my camera and a few special effects filters.

I feel bad for every journalist who has to watch a public execution because our president is mad he didn't win a prize for peace.
