On nights and weekends, I'm a photographer, gamer, junior world traveler, apprentice hiker. By day I'm an old IT guy that makes jokes about fax machines and corded telephones. https://bsky.app/profile/steelveils.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/steelveils.bsky.social/post/3meqsmlyhuk2sI despise Valentine's Day, so today is extra fun for me.

She, as usual, slayed out. My interpretations vary as the series undulated in my brain. More to come. #bwphoto #spookygirl #halloween27 Oct 2025 14:15 +0000at://did:plc:xtiy2s6hs2ekeiwxguowcr3i/app.bsky.feed.post/3m46m6k6ag22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/steelveils.bsky.social/post/3m3phhs7br22lSome more spoopy for Tuesday, because why not.

I've only had a few minutes to flip through so far, but I will be spending some weekend time really appreciating all the hard work that went into this. It's giving me some drive to do better so maybe I can land in the next edition. ;)24 May 2025 08:12 +0000at://did:plc:xtiy2s6hs2ekeiwxguowcr3i/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpvp5thjok2whttps://bsky.app/profile/steelveils.bsky.social/post/3ln6bsz23zc2lOn my third drive by past the #PetrifiedDunes in #ArchesNationalPark I had to pull over and get a shot. It's just too interesting to not give it a go, especially when we had a couple of clouds over the La Salle mountains in the background.19 Apr 2025 13:52 +0000at://did:plc:xtiy2s6hs2ekeiwxguowcr3i/app.bsky.feed.post/3ln6bsz23zc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/steelveils.bsky.social/post/3ln4d4zesfc2eWe were hoping for an epic sunset for our one-chance at this location, and the clouds were giving promise, but as the sun lowered, the clouds to the west rolled in on the horizon and blocked it all. Such is the life of #landscapephotography.

Lol (and any semblance of cell service).

I got the shot of the Arch then got kicked out by the rangers unfortunately. So I went somewhere else to shoot the blood moon. Stitched it all together almost how I had it in my head. #stlarch #downtownstl #lunareclipse #moon #nightsky #stlouis17 Mar 2025 00:09 +0000at://did:plc:xtiy2s6hs2ekeiwxguowcr3i/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkjughrq2c2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/steelveils.bsky.social/post/3lkfkouuhpk2yOne of my absolute favorite things about bsky right now is that I'm discovering so many amazing fine art photographers. It really makes me want to hit a desert with a model. I'm actually going to Moab in a couple weeks, but no model unfortunately. Next time for sure. :)15 Mar 2025 07:04 +0000at://did:plc:xtiy2s6hs2ekeiwxguowcr3i/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkfkouuhpk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/steelveils.bsky.social/post/3ljx4sboo322eHey @bsky.app, as I'm sure it's no surprise to you, users have lots of interests. What if we could save (bookmark, etc) the wonderful random posts we find to our own custom lists? Is that in the works, by chance?09 Mar 2025 13:18 +0000at://did:plc:xtiy2s6hs2ekeiwxguowcr3i/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljx4sboo322ehttps://bsky.app/profile/steelveils.bsky.social/post/3ljwbi4c4622nI got the most flattering compliment after my pool match this week. I played a new-to-the-league guy, who after losing to me significantly said "your prowess really threw me off, wasn't expecting that." To be fair, I did play pretty darn well that night, and I could tell he was off. #poolplayer09 Mar 2025 05:09 +0000at://did:plc:xtiy2s6hs2ekeiwxguowcr3i/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljwbi4c4622nhttps://bsky.app/profile/steelveils.bsky.social/post/3ljksmqpqts2pShot back in 2009. Unfortunately the model, Megan Filth, is no longer with us. She was my first nude model and became one of my favorite people. Going through our work every couple of years is always inspiring, yet obviously sad. #artnude #artnotporn #bwnude #nudemodel #figuremodel04 Mar 2025 15:44 +0000at://did:plc:xtiy2s6hs2ekeiwxguowcr3i/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljksmqpqts2phttps://bsky.app/profile/steelveils.bsky.social/post/3ljij6ztxms2bWhen you don't put enough coffee in the machine because you're too tired to turn on the lights to actually see how much you put in already...

I feel like I have a better eye now, so I gave it new life. It's not as heavy of an edit as you might think; experimenting with lighting setups can yield interesting results. #artnotporn #artnude #blackandwhite #bwnude02 Mar 2025 21:33 +0000at://did:plc:xtiy2s6hs2ekeiwxguowcr3i/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljgf6f7qpc2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/steelveils.bsky.social/post/3lj3vlqtjgk2fI heard it was hump day. #artnude #bodyscape #lightandshadow #curvesandlines #blackandwhite26 Feb 2025 17:27 +0000at://did:plc:xtiy2s6hs2ekeiwxguowcr3i/app.bsky.feed.post/3lj3vlqtjgk2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/steelveils.bsky.social/post/3liwlq2mamc2iReport the first album you bought *with your own money* I am having real trouble remembering the first cassette I actually bought, without the parents' finger wagging.
