I recently revisited an old shoot from 2022 with @artemisfauna.bsky.social and here is a link to the shoot -> www.techno-mage.co.uk/blog/techno-...
A black and white head and shoulders portrait of a young, long-haired woman apparently standing in a woodland area that is out of focus rendered in bokeh behind her.

Strongly recommending newly released British film "The Salt Path" to anyone with the time and inclination to go to the cinema and watch something beautiful and moving and meaningful and basically perfect. Anderson and Isaacs are both giving it all. #supportindiefilm #supportbritishfilm #chooseart

I do, occasionally, still burn CDs - does this make me weird or old or both?

Big Tech's emissions increased 150% in just 4 years, "thanks" to the exploding electricity demands of slop-bucket LLMs that boil lakes to rephrase the internet

Generative AI is worse than useless; it is making it impossible for us to limit climate change

Tech giants' carbon emissions up 150% with AI growth

That moment when, whilst out walking one’s parents’ dog of a Sunday morning, you find yourself openly weeping because a fascinating and accomplished person younger than yourself has chosen the Overture from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves on Desert Island Discs. #middleaged #oldnow #randomtears

I know perfectly well where my towel is, and where my wild-swimming towel is, and so I win!

Do you know where your towel is?

Happy International Towel Day! #internationaltowelday

This fine chap was waiting for the ferry to Tarbet at Inversnaid Pier when I went down there with my new/old Hasselblad 500c loaded up with its first roll of film under my stewardship. I can’t remember his name, alas, but he was from Mexico and his travelling companion was from Hungary #mediumformat

The Royal Mail Post Box at Stronachlachar on the shores of Loch Katrine. I have photographed it many times with different cameras and in different conditions, but this is the first time that I photographed it with a Medium Format film camera. #mediumformat #hasselblad500c #mono #film #XP2

Another photograph from my first 2 rolls through my new (to me) Hasselblad 500c. This is the beautiful, Victorian railing at the end of Stronachlachar Pier, with Factor’s Isle and the open loch in the background. #mediumformat #film #hasselblad #mono #monochrome

This is a photo I took recently with my new / old medium format film camera - my Hasselblad 500c. The scan was done by the lab, but hopefully I will be doing my own scans soon. #mediumformat #film #newoldcamera #photography #photo #landscape #loch

BREAKING

Authorities in the Philippines have arrested former President Rodrigo Duterte.

This comes after the ICC issued a warrant related to Duterte’s role in crimes against humanity during his administration’s “war on drugs,” which resulted in thousands of deaths and many extrajudicial killings.

There should be mass protests in the US over this. Allowing the US to brazenly transgress first amendment rights, down to rescinding green cards, shouldn’t be tolerated.
