After a fair amount of work I was able to get my #Photography website off of Squarespace and self host it. I'm hoping to do a photo blog series as well at some point, but my primary focus was just moving to start with.

I don't post my #photography often on here, not because I don't want to... but because I overthink posting images on social media to the point where.. I don't end up posting anything at all 🤣 Here's one of my favorites of my cat Archer, basking in the fall sunlight last November.

Such a cutie! It was nice of it to rest a bit on the branch nearby. Unfortunately, the only shot I could get on the nest was through a dingy window. Curacao wildlife. #birds #photography

@flashes.blue looking forward to checking it out!

One of the joys of getting older is waking up in the morning feeling like you got in a brawl overnight.

If only our society put as much investment into researching the best systems to teach kids as we are currently doing with teaching LLMs how to reason, think, learn.

After a bit of research I’m going to ditch Squarespace and move my photography website to ghost. I’m lucky enough to have the technical knowledge to self host which will save my side business some cash. It’s insane how much Squarespace charges. Id always planned for it to be somewhat temporary.

One of the more frustrating parts of starting a #Photography business is the sheer number of subscription services you need. E-signatures for contracts? Sub. Website? Sub. Gallery software? Sub. Adobe? Sub.

By leaving insecure tracking devices on the open internet, “police have not only breached public trust but created a bounty of location data for everyone who drives by which can be abused by stalkers & other criminals,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @wired.com.

Trying to pick out my favorite 10 photos of 2024 is proving a bit challenging. Downside of taking thousands of photos a year 😂

Winter hits the Olympic Mountains, Washington 🏔️

The Canadian Rockies at winter. A playground for any landscape photographer lover. One of my favourite places in the world. #bluesky #photography #landscape #mountains #art #nature #landscapephotography

Golden run… An instant of eternity captured as 2 white horses are running full speed in the golden light of rising sun. Captured during one of our annual workshops in Camargue. #bluesky #photography #wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

And far, where dusk bends softly to the sea. A lighthouse stands, its form a shadowed plea. To guide, to guard, to promise through the haze, that hope endures in light’s eternal blaze.

Return-to-office (RTO) mandates lead to abnormally high employee turnover, especially for female/more senior/more skilled employees. It also takes significantly longer to fill these job vacancies after RTO mandates. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I was subscribed to @rollingstone.com but unfortunately, since they try and get me to turn off my ad blocker on every single page - even though I subscribe.. I've cancelled. Its for the best, trying to focus only on independent media now.

We explored a breathtaking wilderness & experienced amazing scenes in the Yukon's Peel Watershed, but this was the most memorable: A spectacle of fast moving rain showers sweeping over towering, black mountain ranges. #photography #nature #bluesky #naturephotography #landscapephotography #landscape

Tools like #ChatGPT have rendered any sort of peer feedback, aside from that which is expressed vocally.. absolutely meaningless. I appreciate when my peers give feedback, but I always know when someone just asked ChatGPT to do it. #Tech #Business

The Video Game Awards is one big commercial masquerading as an awards show. #Gaming

Wow... I had already decided not to buy #NZXT hardware for my next #gaming rig for unrelated reasons. But I definitely won't now. #scam Great work here by Gamers Nexus. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pom...

Awakening valley… with the great Mont Blanc & the needles of Chamonix in background… This one is captured from Swiss, but all you see here is part of the French Alps. #bluesky #photography #landscape #mountains #nature #naturephotography #landscapephotography

The sheriff was in town. Street photo sometimes involves a lot of waiting. For the right light, the right person to show up. Like this guy, who walked confidently down the middle of the street. #oslo #streetphotography #blackandwhite #bnwphoto #photography #street

Started to compile a list of street photography accounts. It’s small at the moment, but hopefully will grow. go.bsky.app/3Gzw61D

Moments above the fog.

This morning I dragged myself out of bed at 3:00 to head to the West End Bridge in hopes of capturing the moon over PPG Place and the Christmas tree at the Point in #Pittsburgh. Luckily the clouds stayed away for long enough to allow that to happen. Made for an amazing view.

It’s safe to assume that your data is training #AI basically everywhere, because legislation will never catch up to tech innovation and corporations will get away with everything they possibly can. And people will help enable them.

Standing on a beach... Stokknes, #Iceland March 2019

Japan is home to deep primeval forests as well as the majestic Alps. I truly love the landscapes of this country.

#Introduction Hello! Some things about me! I'm currently a Reliability Engineer on Azure and have been in tech for over 25yrs from Help Desk to the Cloud! I'm also a professional #Photographer with a focus on event and #Equestrian #Photography - but I dabble in all types.

Wow 100 followers on here already! Thanks all! Hopefully I don’t disappoint 😂 probably time for an intro post…
