It should be criminal to be as sad as I am, in as beautiful a place as #Oahu
Guess I'm here indefinitely. Could use a distraction. Maybe a friend? Bleh

I often dislike my attempts at #abstract, but this was a happy accident I'm proud of 👍🏽

I'm #anxious today. Gonna try to stay #busy. I used to do #watercolor paintings back in the day - might give that a go...

Imagine if media literacy as a high school class. Literally teaching kids how to read and parse and fact check consumed media. I see no downsides. Maximum real life applicability.

Photo of shop front. On the left, a young man is stooping forward looking in at a shiny golden display. The building on the opposite side of the road is reflected on the right of the photo, including a clipped store name: LOOK (seen backwards in the reflection).

In other news, I finished watching #dungeonmeshi / #delicousindungeon last night, and I'm absolutely gutted about it 😭

to my #fedifriends and #photographers on #ethics and #privacy: Im refraining from posting a shot Ive taken of an older man laid up in the back of an ambulance as EMTs finish loading him up. Its not a particularly good shot, but it envokes a feeling in me. Let discuss. For now, heres this 🪿

a special thanks to @jp-keating.bsky.social for suggesting a photo framing app that doesn't suck butts!

friends and fellow #photographers I am in need of an app that lets me put borders on my #photos without cropping into the photo itself. Im finding it weirdly difficult to find a free option. Any suggestions?

Does this qualify as #abstract ? Played around with some #lightroom edits and I am thoroughly exhausted with the possibilities 😮‍💨

This year will be riddled with #AI and #misinformation. Itll be important to be diligent. Heres a fun (and innocuous) game to spot #AIartifacts. Ill post the #unedited photo later tonight. Ready, GO!

*Hint: theres 3 changes total

It's an unseasonably warm #December day which is unfortunate for me to be delivering in. But hopefully it's a welcome reprieve for the #homeless population of the city.
