My uncle sent me a 4x5 camera he hand built in the 80s. It has a Linhof 135 Press Xenar 3.8 lens on it. The first two photos were my first two 4x5 photos ever taken. Shot on @ilfordphoto FP4.
Photo 3 & 4 were shot on my @nikonusa Z6ii with a 24-70 f4.
When @vanplating visits we take photos. Shot on @ilfordphoto Kentmere 100 in medium format on my Hasselblad 503cx and the last photo is FP4 on my large format camera. That was my first ever large format photo so I can’t believe I nailed it. #filmphotography #nashville #vanplating #shootfilmnotmegapixels
Nashville cuties I’ll see you Friday night! I’ll be debuting a bunch of new songs from the upcoming record made in Ireland over the past few months.
** editors note It’s Queens plural, I know, whoops. I need another cup of coffee.
Stories will be told, hugs will be shared, sleep will be lost, it will be worth it. Xo

“When an aircraft crashed near Coalinga, California, in 1948, all 32 passengers and crew members perished. After the incident, the Fresno Bee, a local newspaper, published the names of some of the passengers, most of whom were farm laborers from Mexico. But the Associated Press’ coverage only named the crew members. In the news agency’s article, the passengers were referred to simply as “28 Mexican deportees”.
The plane had been chartered by the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service. Some of the workers had traveled to the U.S. without documentation, while others had arrived in the country as part of a government-sponsored work program; they were going home because their contracts had ended. None of those nuances were captured by the words “28 Mexican deportees.”
That phrase upset Woody Guthrie, who came across it when the AP story ran in the New York Times. So the activist and musician did what he did best: He commemorated the victims of the plane crash with a song.”

Grateful for songs that tell important stories across time. This is one of the best of ‘em. Thanks Woody.
Thanks to my pal @vanplating for bringing your vocal and violin talents.
Thanks to @walrusmuse for the drums and the mix and bringing this all together.
Thanks for listening.
“Goodbye to my Juan, farewell Roselita
Adios mes amigos, Jesus e Maria
You won’t have a name when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be deportees”
New song Friday

Skipping Stones; These Sacred Bones
Jan ‘26 behind the scenes
1 - @daithibanjo getting sounds for Dust On a Red Dirt Road
2 - context in the key of “dirty south”
3 - @blennerhassettjames on upright

5 - a little bassy context
6 - singin’ a song I wrote alone in an Airbnb in the hill country of Texas, in the studio in Ireland. What a life.
7 - Joe guitar god at the strum
8 - this pair of gals is good trouble @ericakelly89__
9 - delirious and done for the week, pleased with ourselves.
Make friends with people who inspire you., buy the plane ticket, spend the time, forget about yourself, be vulnerable, have fun, it’s all such a temporary dance. It goes so fast. Burn bright while you can. X
