This is my younger brother on a Honda ATC 200X. In Mexico, 1986 I think. We’d been swimming in that estuary in the background at high tide and were taking a break riding wheelies up the sand dunes. Fun times. The lack of safety gear was par for the course, don’t judge.

More night mode photos, shot at 9:30 PM in Tucson. The iPhone does really well in low light but you have to be really still. Extremely dark conditions can produce cool lofi effects too. There’s a lot of moonlight tonight too.

Hi a #geology question: was this talus / scree field formed by flowing water or by some other process? Why is it just there? This is the entry point into Dark Canyon on the Sundance Trail.

Makaiwa Bay, Mauna Lani, Hawaii. This noisy photo was taken with an iPhone 4. This was about the time that people started saying that there was no need to carry a DSLR around because quality on the iPhone was good enough. People are still saying that and it’s still not quite true.
