You’ll be a hero. Like the Canadian soldiers that gave my Mom an orange and a pencil when they liberated the Netherlands. 😊

@theguardian.com regularly has great photography features, often linked to an exhibit opening. I’ve also found local/regional photo organizations and photographers who like to elevate fellow artists helpful.

These are great. And the intro by Hank Willis Thomas also. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. Encouraging to hear American voices recognizing what we’re facing and standing with us.

I wonder if emailing the head office may help. Mention you’re a regular shopper there who is making decisions about what to buy and where to shop. Worth a try.

As a first step in moving away from made in USA cereal I’ve switched to some made in Canada by a US company (Post). It’s an imperfect move but I think the right direction. I’d like to keep supporting those workers and communities (e.g. Peterborough with Quaker) but it does bring mixed feelings.

Another reason for Canadians and everyone else to stop buying American food and nutrition products. 😒

These are so beautiful. Great to see the history of capturing snowflakes also. A modern talent at this craft/skill is @donkom.bsky.social. Here’s a set of snowflake images that he’s created as an example. www.donkom.ca/the-snowflake/

Very nice portraits. They definitely exude positive emotions. Joy for example.

Wow. That is brilliant. Thanks for sharing the link and details. Will enjoy reading that. πŸ‘πŸ»
comment in response to post
Wow! That looks incredible! I’ll have to look back on your posts for more details. Looks like a cyborg hybrid of old and new tech. And I noted the panorama feature. I’d love to do more pano film photos (currently just using a Sprocket Rocket). πŸ‘πŸ»
comment in response to post
Awesome. Do you design them yourself or find the plans/files from those good soils who make them freely available? (As I have done.😊)
comment in response to post
Love it! Love panoramic film photos also.
comment in response to post
Very nice! Thanks for the reply and additional images too! πŸ™ŒπŸ» I 3D printed a lens cap for my Pen EE-3 but should look into grips as well for some of my film cameras. (BTW I also shoot with Nikon mirrorless. πŸ‘πŸ»)
comment in response to post
Nice set of gear! I like the 3D printed grip (I assume) for the GR. And can I ask, what camera is that at the top left (fully black one)?

Looking forward to reading this!πŸ‘πŸ»

This expresses so well the fire and passion we Canadians are feeling right now. We need to go our own way, and find a new path apart from our southern neighbours.
comment in response to post
We were considering family trips to the US this year. Those will not happen. We will travel within Canada instead.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for standing up for Canada. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

I’m trying to avoid politics also, but this is insane. Less than 1% of fentanyl gets into the US from Canada. He says avoid tariffs by moving your business to the US - but why do so when all US law is now based on his whims?! (His tariffs violate a Free Trade agreement that he negotiated.)
comment in response to post
Thank you. This Canadian is rooting for Americans who are standing for sanity. πŸ‘πŸ»

Glad I quit then a while ago. The seeming complete lack of leadership in so many tech companies is sad and sickening.
comment in response to post
This brings to mind the psychotic bus hijacker in Dirty Harry, forcing the kids to sing β€œRow, Row, Row Your Boat”. Just insane.

Yes! Fond memories of having my quarters ready at my local pizza place! :)

Thank you so much Edd! ☺️

What a heartwarming account. We need more empathy and humanity between people. This is a wonderful example.

There’s nothing like holding and seeing your work in print. Congratulations. Looks great! πŸ‘πŸ»
