SoCal folks! @mhedin.bsky.social and I are teaching another macrophotography workshop in Anza-Borrego. We had a great time in December, and this one on March 15th should be even better, because photo subjects will definitely be more plentiful than they were in December. Hope you can join us! 📷🐙🌿
Macrophotography: Photographing Our Smallest Organisms
Do you have a passion for photography but have never tried it on a smaller scale? Are you curious about the Park’s tiny creatures but aren’t sure how to spot them? If so, this workshop is for you!

Going through some of the material in the collection I found this package of entomological pins from Western Germany! It's amazing the historic objects, aside from the specimens itself, that can be found in collections. I wonder about the actual year those pins were made...
