Attending annual Tuerk conference in Baltimore, speaking on ASAM Criteria 4th edition #ASAM4.

Love this harm reduction talk from Dr Susan Sherman at Hopkins. Her SPARC program has mobile outreach van with FTIR spectrometer to test drugs for fentanyl, xylazine, etc.

Lou, my riff on your shot, removing all but silhouette and simplifying the line.

"Alert" is a young child's alert, maybe somewhat surprised, face. The image had been simplified to retain only its essential features. (second in a series called, "Faces")

overexposed image of a child's face from a 1960s photograph, with only details being eyes, nose, and mouth. Expression looks like mild amusement.

Backyard, this morning.
I think it's a Cooper's hawk eating a mouse. 🪶🦅🐭
Hawk perched on a garden cart with vegetation around it. In its talons is some bloody carcass, size of a mouse. A bit of meat is seen in its beak. It looks like a Cooper's hawk.

I did not take a pic of the final product, but here is a pic of the 3rd time I made it. The one I did on Xmas has carrots and leeks, but this pic did not have them.

@clinkshrink.bsky.social check out this leucistic hummingbird. I've only seen one leucistic bird in the wild, a red-bellied woodpecker.

Adventures in #ICM (intentional camera movement) - 1/10sec
dalhia #abstract #photography
1-red dahlia at Cylburn Arboretum USA-MD, 1/10 second exposure for intentional camera movement (ICM) effect. Meh. 2- 2nd attempt at ICM image (1/10 sec) of red dahlia, showing well-defined (not blurry) streaks of red highlights. I see a potential crop to transform this image. 3- tighter crop of 2nd image, with some cleaning and image sharpening/smoothing. One more crop should leave a nice abstract image... 4- there it is. My current profile image.
