I finally figured out what the filter I need to do UV portraits is called. One would naturally google "UV Filter", which of course only leads to the most ubiquitous photography accessory in the world which just so happens to do exactly the opposite of what I'm looking for.
Turns out it's called a UV Black Filter.

Portrait and Landscape Compositions Exist
Seriously. How does an art site not know that other than square compositions exist? If a square composition was right, I would have shot it that way. If I wanted to be on Instagram, I'd be on fucking Instagram.
Hasn't been a Journal for a long while.
Not sure I'll last beyond the switch to Eclipse. And not because I can't eventually make my peace with a new format. But it's driving away the people I need to learn from.
Not that it really matters, this is more of an epitaph than anything. Like I say, most of my friends here have moved along already.
A long time ago, this place helped me go from being a kid with a good eye to a legitimately good photographer. My hope is to become great someday, but I don't think that can happen here anymore. The mentors are gone, the dialogue is gone. In its place is a click farm where you're lured to the next page instead of really interacting.
It
Yeah. My Old Journal was Depressing
So I wanted to bury it.
Here's an idea.
Respond with an idea and I will reply with a photograph that represents that idea as well as I can manage.
Go nuts you psychos.
Bored Photographer Problems
Woe is me.
The leaves are gone.
Sunsets are all gray.
The galactic center is on the wrong side of the globe at night.
I live too far south for Northern Lights.
Bugs are all dead for the winter.
Flowers are all dead for the winter.
Nobody gets married in February.
I'm too poor to travel to alpine places.
That's an excuse
I'm really too fat and lazy to go climbing alpine places.
Not really "con" season.
And I don't really have a connection here who is into that sort of thing.
And I'm shy.
Deer don't like having things pointed at them this time of year.
That's fair.
Old war buddy is living in my "studio" until he finds work.

I have a B+W403 but it is 2 spectrum: UV+IR.
I will google "UV black filter" so I can -finally!!- find this UV filter I need for my own funny experiments.
I am very curious and eager to see what you'll come up with -though I can sense it will sure be something. I am trying to imagine your current ID photo under UV light
