2025 Feels Different (and a coupon code!) - Brian Creek Photography

There seems to be a lot of uncertainty swirling around the tourism industry this year, what with tariffs, foreign tourist boycotts, and whatnot.

Any animal or plant that has ESA protection has become a lightning rod for GOP hate mongery. It isn't about the particular species being saved from extinction; it's the idea that any government would have the gall to refuse to allow them to do anything they please.

And it isn't just the Endangered Species Act; they hate all of the bedrock environmental laws enacted in the 1970s in response to things like the Santa Barbara Oil Spill, people dying from breathing big city air, and lifeless, toxic rivers literally catching fire. Anything that might cause them to have to alter their behavior or lose one cent of profit is the target of all their vitriol.
And they wear "asshole" as a badge of honor.

Hi Gang!

There's a new post up on the website explaining the basics of ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed, using the venerable old Exposure Triangle. I know it's been done to death, but I have so many folks on photo safaris who don't understand exposure or what a "stop" of light is!
Enjoy!

Exposure & the Exposure Triangle - Brian Creek Photography

At it’s most basic a camera is a light-tight box that holds a thing which captures and renders the light that passes through the opening in the front. The

She's right. There needs to be a reckoning for the seditious attack on our capitol building of Jan 6, 2021, and those lawmakers who aided and abetted the traitors.

I don't think those ICE agents are qualified to direct traffic. They are just willfully cruel and bigoted MAGAs, the only job requirements.

Well, at least you have some level of experience opposing evil despots. Which is nice. 😉

If all the Trump admin appointees are pardoned before they can be tried it will be a colossal miscarriage of justice. I mean, on top of all their others.

Dame Jane Goodall was such a quiet and dignified person. The contributions she made and impact she has had in helping all of us better understand our place in the world in the value of all that is not human on it are legion.. Her voice will be greatly missed.
