On an island in the sun.
Two years ago today, I turned a corner in New York City and saw this. Once the terror subsided, I asked him if I could take a photo. In classic Michael Myers form, he just stood there, so I took that as a yes.

Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃

Cap de Formentor, Mallorca.

I love this island so much – the slower pace of life, the friendly locals, the language, the weather, the light, the sea, the mountains, and the food.

It’s always been a place that recharges me – a place that balances the scales when life gets complicated.

This is quite the nostalgia trip, and the Wave Race 64 soundtrack is brilliant. Despite the slow trickle of songs being added, Nintendo have done a good job with this app. It’s a shame it’s tied to Nintendo Switch Online, but it’s worth checking out if you have a membership.
As Wave Race 64 joins Nintendo Music, here's the app's full track list, including every game, song and system

If you're a fan of #photography, I highly recommend checking out Tokyo Times. You can pick any article and enjoy the beautiful photos, but here's the latest as an example.

I've spent the last 5 years or so focusing on #ReactNative, but I've been having a great time learning #Swift and #SwiftUI recently.

I can see the appeal of developing apps both ways – and it really depends on what you're building – but I'm really enjoying learning something new.

I got lucky with this one. As I turned a corner I saw him crossing the street. He then stopped, so I had just enough time to turn my camera on and capture the moment.

This remains one of my favourite photos, and serves as a nice reminder to take a camera with me whenever I can.

If you're at all interested in #photography, this is worth checking out. Thanks for sharing, Andy.
I asked about Saul Leiter last night. He is one of my absolute favorite #photographers. Since so many of you are fans, too, I wanted to share this again, a piece I wrote in 2022. Please share if it resonates. Enjoy! www.flakphoto.news/p/searching-....

Hi, everyone! I'm Darryl.

I'm a software engineer specialising in mobile development with React Native.

In my spare time I really enjoy photography, video games, and travelling. I'm looking forward to connecting with more like-minded people on here.

While I welcome all new apps in the #photography space, I see far too few people talking about @glass.photo. It's extremely well-made and has a brilliant web counterpart.

I love the ability to search by camera or lens, and their new Series feature is great.

This post by @samuel.bsky.team was an interesting read, and is definitely worth checking out if you're a React Native developer (if you are, let's connect).

Congratulations, Samuel, to you and the rest of the Bluesky team — the app looks and feels great.

I remember the day I got Half Life. It brought my PC to its knees, but it didn't stop me from playing it. Just last week I was randomly thinking about it, and today it's celebrating its 25th anniversary with a big update.

I can't wait to play it on the OLED Steam Deck!
