Decided to totally rewrite my workshop that I am giving this week.

Here is a nice Hellebore photographed against a blurry backdrop that I made by deliberately changing the focus on a shoot and passing through a gaussian blur post process. #F8andBeThere

All my other pics of the #NWFGS are on my insta account but this was too cute not to share here #gardenphotographer

Large epidemiologic studies have consistently shown an association between coffee and improved health outcomes. This may be one of the reasons: favorable changes to the gut microbiome 🏢🏢

Google for example, am trying to untangle their clutches. Keeping mail but ditching other stuff!

Been a busy week where I taught two smartphone photo classes.

I want to update my main class to add different images, not just gardening. Probably more food and architecture.

And I want to develop my Flatlay class.

Any other class ideas?

Exactly though in my case it’s deep in a crate somewhere which I will find as soon as I buy a new one

Yeah I'm kinda stuck on that step too. I found the hooks but lost the chains already.

I disagree - potatoes, brown rice, lentils, chickpeas, peanut butters, seaweed, oatmeal, mushrooms ... all pretty reasonably priced sources of fiber. Admittedly a bit boring without fresh apples or kale; hard to find in food pantries. I'm totally speaking from privilege so let me know if I'm wrong.

Scheming about using #Hellebores as “just” a groundcover

Playing around with ChatGPT by uploading some target images and asking it how to create that look and feel in lightroom, then following the 'recipe'. Lots to learn.

I sure would like it for an army of people to deep clean my house and stock it with my favorite food while I’m out.

Two questions, can they come every month instead of 4 years, and is there enough room for all of my favorite cheeses?
