I finally got around to catching the massive aurora storm.
Am I too late?

Probably the biggest aurora of the year and I’m dealing with family dramas.

My mates in Gold Light District are absolutely killing it after only a few gigs.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

I caught Shirina’s performance one night in Sydney recently. Video out tonight.

For the photographers out there: NiSi are having a Halloween sale, with up to 99% off.
It’s likely those extreme savings are gone now, but there are still amazing bargains on quality gear.
35% off Athena lenses is not to be sneezed at either!

I had some fun running around Sydney like a mad chook taking photos.

The underbelly of Sydney Harbour Bridge.

I couldn't resist posting this whilst editing photos for an upcoming video.

Just a little opinion piece

Everything is boring - It’s all getting a little too familiar.

Does Instagram suddenly have to pay to licence music? It seems all the good music is gone.

Card only.
But we will also add a charge for using said card.

YouTube has been pushing my macro-related videos lately, which has been great!
However, YouTube seems to think all my videos should be pushed to macro-lovers, and that is just not working.
So I’ve made the unconventional decision to delist those macro videos.

The rainforest is beautiful, but making a coherent photograph from the chaotic nature of the forest is not easy.
See how I manage this image and others.

What was promised for such a thing to eventuate? I don’t trust that anything good will come out of this “deal”

A few years back, I went chasing massive waves in front of the setting sun. I was not disappointed!

I came across this ridiculous poster outside a church shop in Launceston, Tasmania. Bring your antifa flags and shout down the christo-fascist bullshit.

All the outcry is a result of the empathy. Charlie Kirk said empathy was a woke idea and not real. #irony

We live in the best place in the world, which is run by fools.
‘..the stadium would "diminish the economic welfare" of Tasmania, the government's cost-benefit remains significantly overestimated, and it would have an "irrevocable and unacceptable" impact on Hobart's landscape.’

how’s Rockliff gonna spin dis? #politas #nostadium

Have you ever seen Tafoni? And in this quantity? This was an incredible experience- one I’m not likely to forget!

So I just finished reading Neuromancer for the umpteenth time, after a 20 year hiatus. And now I’m questioning if Case @hosaka.systems is real or not.
@greatdismal.bsky.social might have a lead?
