“3 more dishes and we are home”.
The lamb
The risotto
The hamachi
Each one has it’s on inconclusive storyline.
When Storer gives these subplots closure (all of them directly linked to Sydcarmy endgame ofc) they will be home, AKA endgame.
Once home, they will nail the pasta, together.
I’m pretty sure that will happen once we have stablished Sydcarmy already because they’re gonna make this recipe again:
And share it with the family-family
The scallop marks the star
The star marks the endgame, so those 3 dishes above will be ready to go out on the new Menu post-star, not before.
Can’t wait for them to be home.

ALT4x5 film shots from a trip to Acadia National Park and the area around Bar Harbor, ME, US. All of the shots above were taken with a Graflex Speed Graphic camera using a Voigtlander Petzval portrait lens made in 1850. The film is orthochromatic lithography film rated at about ISO 5. I really like the super-contrasty look.
The two photos below were shot using the same camera, but using the 137mm f4.5 lens that came with the Speed Graphic. With aperture controls and some more shutter speed options, we can get more image options.
Finally, a portrait of me sitting on the rocky shore with a camera around my neck. My partner (pictured above on the same shoreline) took this picture of me with some direction on how to use the camera.

You got the cool water
When the fever runs high
You got the look of love light in your eyes
And I was in crazy motion
Till you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
Whoa, let me live in your city
The river’s so pretty
The air is so fine, mm
Rent me a room where I can lay over, oh
I’m just a traveler
Eatin’ up travelin’ time, mm
I’m just a traveler
Eatin’ up my travelin’ time
They got a wall in China
It’s a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners, they built it strong
And I got a wall around me
You can’t even see
It took a little time to get to me

DISPATCH #2 — 11.4.25
Getting some practice shots in with My Favorite. There’s no one more important to my development as a photographer. Over 10,000 portraits and counting. Pretty remarkable when I consider the fact that she’s not especially keen on being photographed.
I think people often overlook the sacrifice that often comes with belief. I’m fortunate to have thousands of pieces of evidence that the most important person in my life believes in what I do. Speaking frankly, some of my desire to achieve and ascend revolves around wanting to prove that the sacrifice and belief were worth it. Of course, there are lots of ways to measure ascendance and achievement; perhaps it is more a feeling than it is a demonstrable milestone. Whatever it is, I want to be in its presence in much the same way I want to be with Kim.
We made these on Ilford Delta 100 sheet film using my buddy John’s Super Speed Graphic. One of the dope things about shooting large format is seeing how depth of field changes between the formats. All the photos in this set were shot at f/8, which is roughly f/4 in medium format and f2.8 in small format. I’m looking forward to stopping the 4x5 lens down to f/22 and seeing what comes of it. Since this is continuous light, I’m thinking I may need a more powerful light since the shutter speed on these was 1/8.
Any large format portrait tips? Feel free to let me know 🫡.
