I took this pic a few years ago but I’d like to dedicate it to my lovely wife of twenty plus years
Good morning Bluesky — go out there and make some good trouble. If you have to shop, make it support small local, your neighbors.

On this day in 1955 Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. For 381 days people boycotted the buses. They walked, carpooled and organized every single day until segregation cracked. Nothing will change today without that same resolve. Freedom isn’t granted, it's taken one step at a time. #Resist

I was shooting low with the Leica SL and 90-280mm, trying to capture people with umbrellas against the NYC fog and light from 42nd Street. Most shots felt cliché, but then... this one happened. A passing car perfectly framed my subject. You can't plan moments like this!

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack.
The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

cool autumnal nights

some go hand in hand
others walk alone
yet all are loved
by sky & trees
