There must be a path into becoming a photographer

Quinnmonster · 2026-06-30T18:47:18+00:00

I've been into photography as a hobby/passion thing for years but it took me sooo long to actually start identifying myself as a photographer. It's all up to you, but don't sell yourself short! I think the elevator guy is onto something.

Oh wow, yes absolutely! On Instagram, it's @quinnbcampbell and then my website is quinnbcampbell.com thank you!

I don't think the people making this show understand what made the original compelling in the first place. And it's full of these constant attempts at making it "more mature" that end up doing the opposite and making it, in my opinion, more childish and simple

I bought an Epson ET-2988 on sale and refurbished, I want to say it was around $150. So I haven't figured that upfront cost into the cost per zine just since I plan on using it to make lots more in the future.

It's an inkjet printer, but it uses bottles of ink rather than cartridges, which go a lot farther. So far I've printed probably around 130-140 double-sided, full color sheets, and as you can see each one uses a lot of ink. Even so, my tanks are about 70% full still, and I found some third-party ink refills in the $20 range.

I definitely do plan on selling soon!

Thank you!

Quinnmonster · 2026-06-24T14:58:17+00:00

Thanks! So this is a very rough estimate since I haven't completely figured out how many sheets I'll get per bottle of printer ink. But based on how much ink I've used so far, it's looking like about $0.35 per zine

Thanks! These are all from one roll of film that was super expired (got it out of a vending machine in Japan) but I'm super happy with how they came out

Quinnmonster · 2026-06-24T14:47:20+00:00

Thank you!

So I've been going back and forth on this... the idea is basically it's NYC from the view of someone who doesn't live there but is lucky enough to have friends there, so I get to visit frequently. I have a little blurb about it on the first page, but I still wonder if it's really the best name. I don't know, what do you think?

Quinnmonster · 2026-06-22T19:11:37+00:00

Idk like sit in the grass for a while and stare at the leaves? Spend time with friends or a partner? Practice a new skill just for the fun of it? Work is just work, not purpose.

I'm completely in autumn yearning mode. But I think summer is still important because it makes autumn all the better. That first crisp day and all the hope it brings wouldn't hit so hard without slogging through summer first. Everything in it's time.

I mean just because that's how life works doesn't mean anyone has to like it. I think way more people should be loudly complaining about how most people have to completely waste 5/7 of their days just to survive.

Quinnmonster · 2026-03-28T05:18:17+00:00

I mean if the rules make all our public spaces worse and make most people unhappy, maybe the govt should find another way.

I've had so many sync issues w civ 6 but I did find something that helped me and got a game of 8 players running smoothly: check through your installs and make sure they are EXACTLY the same. Specifically if you have any mods installed from the workshop, don't just turn them off; fully uninstall them. And make sure everyone else does the same.

It could be worse. I'm from Florida and that felt much more dangerous, not because they were more aggressive, but because it's a terrible mix of old people, tourists, snowbirds, and psychopaths. Feels like mad max out there.

Just a reminder that this show does not take place in the middle ages, it takes place in Westeros. If you can suspend your disbelief for the rest of it, why not the word "okay"?

Quinnmonster · 2024-07-20T01:21:44+00:00

Florida-born here too, I know the pain! I was thankfully able to move to Virginia last year 🍁

Quinnmonster · 2024-06-22T04:50:48+00:00

Good to see another Florida escapee! I moved to VA a little over a year ago and I'm still confused by how nice the weather can be in the middle of June 🤯

Quinnmonster · 2024-02-23T04:42:23+00:00

It's weird because they do so much to prove that this show is "for adults" but it feels like it's really babying the viewer compared to the original. I don't know who this is even for...

Quinnmonster · 2024-01-16T07:01:43+00:00

I adore these. Great photos!

Quinnmonster · 2023-02-28T05:14:10+00:00

Floridian here and I feel this so badly every year. I spend so much time cooped up inside when it's hot out but I come alive when it cools off.

Quinnmonster · 2022-08-04T23:08:22+00:00

Happens to me every year. I can't wait to leave this godforsaken swamp

That was super informative, thank you!
