Hello, Hello - happy to be here as I migrate my stuff from "the other site".
This account is a combo of two accounts, mainly #photography, #python, #SQLServer, and anything that is aggravating to me.
Here's a photo from #London back in 2020, just before Covid hit.

One year ago today I posted this miniature Robocop photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets...

I wanted this shot to work so bad but we were running late on our tour and I only had a few seconds to snap this photo. The perfectionist in me says it's not centered and there's too many people in it. I need to learn to let this go and just take the win. 😉 #Italy #photography

This account will remain focused on photography.
But…
We can’t ignore what is happening in america. Each of us needs to recognize that we are going to have to stand up to this thuggish, murderous, authoritarian regime, and that may be very uncomfortable for us.

In Florence Italy, we stayed at an AirBnB that overlooked the famous Ponte Vecchio Bridge. At night they had a light show projected onto the bridge. #Italy #Florence #photography #Travel

All shot using real lighting, figures, smoke and miniature sets. I digitally illustrated the light glow and electrical charges on Rasputin's Mecha-Glove.

I haven't posted in a long time, for various reasons (work, uninspired, etc.) I hope to start posting more regularly. For now, here's a few pics from our recent trip to Florence and Rome over Christmas and New Year's Eve #photography #Italy

I have taken this cue from Scalzi for several years. When I hit milestones, I donate something to a charity I care about.
If you can manage it, make it a habit. It doesn't have to be much, just do it.

"Sorry, chief, the guy got away. He drove through a puddle and then into a car wash, then over one relatively shallow pothole, and we just couldn't follow. Because, y'know, our cybertruck rusted and fell apart and then caught fire. But we'll catch him next time! Hail Elon!"

Grand Canyon Milky Way from summer 2024. We were up there a few days before the clouds left and then I was literally a happy camper.

Another suggestion for new Blue Sky photography folks...
As soon as you create your profile, upload photographs and/or posts — probably before you start following folks.
I check every profile that follows me to decide if I'll follow back. But if your page is empty I don't have much to go on! :-)

Portable air compressor got it to 24psi. Drove 3 miles to Discount Tire - still under warranty - one tire available. $60 to renew warranty - I got off lucky 😉
