Professional labor photographer. Unions for all. Birds. Whales. Cats. Hydration. Maybe a dash of democratic socialism. Not necessarily in that order. Too much optimism for the current moment.

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.
Our enemies are cowards and we're going to defeat them.

keep thinking of this @jumaane.bsky.social quote while seeing regular people line the streets of minneapolis to protect their neighbors.
NYC Public Advocate @jumaane.bsky.social: “There are tens of thousands of people whose names we will never know who stood up and was the light in the dark times that got us through.”

Pelican book intel!
I took a break from looking at this book to watch your diving video. Weird timing that I was literally looking at this diving image a bit ago.

I finally got around to editing the footage from this whole encounter, definitely the most beautiful moment of the year in nature for me.
Video taken across a 12 minute period, sunset lit water fans will REALLY like this one!

Tough day for reality; escaped for an hour to go catch the sunset, and luckily 4 pelicans put on a show after the sun sent down.
I decided to get a really long sequence of one.
Captured over 9 secs, 175 frames, cut to 54, edited and layered in photoshop, original sky, water made more blue. 🪶

Don't feed the monkeys Ai slop.
Multiple monkeys are on the loose in St. Louis. And AI generated images are complicating the effort to find them.

This is one of those where I think printed out might be better than digital. This is why we love the milky way core so much! it would have made the sky look so much prettier!

I've never done one of these dumb tourist reels before but I really want my 20 Instagram followers with good cameras to go touch salt water that isn't the Pacific Ocean. Hope some of you can too! I made some mistakes and hope some doesn't!
