Bathroom stall wisdom. Relevant to this 57 year old professional from an industry that shits the bed every four years or so. At some stage, many of us just need to make a fundamental change in our lives. What about you?

In Brussels for the afternoon. Always fun discovering new places to eat and hang out. This is right by Central.

I hiked back down the mountain late at night. My neighbors were worried. But I had enough light and felt at peace.

Half moon in a night. Shadows of fir trees on a mountainside can be seen against the bluish sky.

🚨 MAYDAY from #Belarus 🚨

Amateur radio is now a capital crime. Over 50 licensed operators face the death penalty under a "spy network" charge that is technologically impossible. QSL cards are now used as "evidence" of treason

Why are European leaders wasting time talking about trade retaliation against the US over Trump's threats? All they need to do is sanction Trump personally in order to produce the required about-face.

How many of you #lift as part of your #fitness #training and experience trouble with #sleep-deprivation as a result? I'm talking about low-level #muscle soreness that makes it hard to stay asleep at night. What can you do? Can supplements help? Ibuprofen taken at bedtime wears off.

Barrel Racing , Alpine Days Rodeo 2025, Utah
Posted a while back (without tags, so betting few saw it). Curious to see if it reaches a wider audience with tags.
Enjoyed photographing the rodeo. First attempt at action photography. Not a fan of the off-brand 400mm f/8 reflex lens. (1/2)

The Compass
(pinhole photograph from the series “Artifacts of an Uncertain Origin”). Follow the link in my profile to see more from this ongoing project.

A black & white, partially sepia-toned pinhole photograph by Seán Duggan showing a small compass submerged in a tide pool next to several sea anemones. Shells and limpets cling to the rock surfaces above the waterline. In the far distance, fog shrouded trees and hills and can be seen. This image is from the series 'Artifacts of an Uncertain Origin". A behind-the-scenes view of a wooden pinhole camera photographing a small compass submerged in a tide pool and surrounded by several sea anemones. The photographer’s hand can be seen reaching in to steady the camera against the rocks.

Foggy, overcast winter photography. Not easy to get good shots. But keep trying.

What do #Lomography photographers think of the LOMO Cosmic 35 versus the MC-A? Reason I ask is that there's a Cosmic 35 for sale locally and I'm thinking of buying it (if I can get the seller to respond to my messages...). Any good? I know it's a slower, longer focal length lens on the Cosmic 35.

Posted this a while back. No tags. Evidently you need them, or people don't see your posts. My bad.

Had fun taking this. Scurrying around with tripod and camera at night.

Neolithic menhirs in rural Wallonie. These are located near a dolmen. They cause you to ponder and imagine.

Applied a crop to take out some of the vignette caused by a combination of lighting and inverse-square fall-off of light intensity on the film plane. Does this shot work?
