Film is not expensive when it take 6 months to make 12 images. 🤓

I’ll be sharing things from last summer and autumn shortly.

Today I learned that there are letter writing games. Which is cool, but I’m intimidated by role playing games.

Yes, this is the shot from my pinned post about my Oregon Coast Substack, but that light was too awesome not to get its own time to shine on #stunday.

Putting out feelers - would anyone be interested in a #DrawATog party? Perhaps on or around the equinox?

Petty gripe compared to what’s going on the MN.

But you all were right. The new iPhone interface is nausea inducing. And ugly.
(My kid thinks they bypassed the designers and used Ai.)

Welcome to January's #photochat. Our topic this month is: Wintertime & Cold Weather Photography.

Q1: Did you buy or were gifted any new photography or creative equipment or supplies over the holidays and new years?

My company ended telecommuting and today is my last day with them.
26 years with them, 21 of which were remote.

It’s been a huge part of my identity.
But after 30 years in aerospace I’m thinking it’s time for a change.
