Earthling. f/8 and be there. 📷 🫘☮️

Mostly a watcher ("lurker") here. Dumped the "bird site" late 2022 and went to Mastodon. Got on Bluesky earlier in 2024. 🚫 DMs for now. If you're following me to promote your OF: Now Blocking
Less than 50 miles separates the southern edge of the Ice Storm Warning area and the norther edge of the Tornado Watch area. #weather #icestorm #winter #nws Thanks @nws.noaa.gov

A little "clean-up" from 2025. Our church has a Christmas Eve candlelight service. I took the photo in color, did a black & white output, then put the color mask in, and "unmasked" the poinsettia leaves. I did this in GIMP www.gimp.org. #musicians #ChristmasEve #Christmas #church #gimp

Been a while since I posted. Recently took a trip with extended family to the Georgia Safari Conservation Park (georgiasafari.com), a private animal preserve east of Atlanta. #photography #zebra #kudu #animals

Great photo. But I have to say, my next thought was this:

Shot this earlier today (August 19) at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. I'm in Minneapolis for a work trip and took advantage of some free time to visit the Sculpture Garden and the MIA. #photography #worldphotographyday #museum #art #Minneapolis #framing

"The Shade" by Auguste Rodin. This one was donated to what would become the Woodruff Arts Center by the French Government in the aftermath of the 1962 crash at Orly Airport that killed over 100 Atlanta arts patrons. This photo is part of my ongoing Blue Hour project.

Our then middle-school daughter introduced us to #pangolins. 2015 or so.The 2017 Valentine's Day Google "Doodle" was all about pangolins. In May 2018, Atlanta Airport had a youth art pangolin exhibit that I nearly missed seeing. Sadly (for this case) we dropped Netflix awhile back.

This was toward the end of 35mm days. My daughter - who is now 22. I wanted cameras that I would know when the shutter would fire, as with the Nikon FM2. 2/

Out of curiosity, my brief search for Georgia says we have a native white Sedum. We do have a fall-blooming yellow sunflower, Stone Mountain daisies or Porter's sunflowers (Helianthus porteri). Photo from Arabia Mountain outside Atlanta. arabiaalliance.org/field-notes/...

I have a print of this one, a gift from my in-laws.

This one, too. www.regnery.com/978168451360...

Full disclosure: I knew the author from a professional relationship. "Friend" is too strong a term. I stumbled across the book looking for "Caste" by Isabell Wilkerson.

For Mother's Day, a photo taken in the 1980s at an Atlanta bookstore. Left to right: My mother, Helen Gurley Brown, and me. Mom originally met Helen Gurley in the 1950s, after they each were 1 of 10 winners of a Glamour Magazine writing contest.
