Is there anyone in the Seattle area who really wants to get into macro photography and has a Nikon? I'm giving up on heavy camera gear and I'm going to sell a ton of stuff including a barely used speedlight kit and commander, Laowa 100mm Macro, Nikkor 10-20mm, Manfrotto tripod with ball head...

Please understand, you the author or artist know more about your work than ChatGPwhatever and I would value your summary of it more than the canned words of a plagiarism engine.

From Texas Monthly (archived) a fascinating read on Odessa (TX), how it elected a far right city govt, how things fell apart, and how it got functional again. (Sometimes one extremely online old guy can be super-effective, apparently!)

Thank you for sharing this information, which is ugly but helps me understand the world.

Time does not stop, and neither does a society. It just shoots itself in the dick 50 or 60 times, apparently, then looks about for what to do next.

Do I know any UK folks here who've tried shipping to the US with the new Royal Mail DPP service?

Wanna get US shipping back up on my Etsy store, but I'd like to find out if anyone's having good/bad experiences with it?

Maybe the giant toy frog is not entirely appropriate for a gallery product image, but I do feel the photo captures the sensibilities of the artist as well as the artwork and its framing.

"Motherhood Among the Trolls," framed and ready for tomorrow on #EveryDayOriginal...

Framed artwork, "Motherhood Among the Trolls" by Heather Hudson, in a setting of books, curiosities, and, yes, a giant toy frog. Motherhood available tomorrow on EveryDayOriginal.com
