Auto in die Werkstatt gebracht, mit dem Fahrrad die 10 km zurück, Bild für #fotomontag gemacht. Jetzt warten auf den Anruf der Werkstatt 🙈

Worked on and completed some photography project submissions, and it really did a good job at putting me in shape as far as formatting and writing about my work. Whether anything comes of it or not, it’s been a net positive so far.

Really sad that Apollo is done. That was a killer app I used happily every day and paid for. So frustrated to see Reddit kill it with stupidity, hubris, greed and avarice. Done with Reddit.

Here’s that diptych bound together by the confines of this post. Big, historic cities have a tragic problem of pieces of history being at odds with modern construction. It shouldn’t be that way, but it is.

I wish Mastodon would not mangle images, but it's scaling things down for no good reason.

There's very long thread in a Github issue on this, but it's being ignored by the project leadership. :(

(P.S. I don't want recommendations for other Fediverse apps that can do higher resolution images. I know those exist. I want support for proper quality image attachments in Mastodon.)

Philadelphia City Hall. Part of a diptych I made of old and new architecture in Philadelphia.

@karlramberg I dunno I’m not a huge fan of the new layout, but thats fixable with a chrome extension. I’m not certain how wikipedia functions, but I could see some benefit of maintaining long term stability versions of wikipedia articles.

With the reddit api madness, I’m moving to mastodon more primarily. Very turbulent times in the social media world (as usual). I’m trying out metatext as my mobile app for now.

Good Morning! One of the creature comforts of digital photography is being able to shoot all the scenes you see throughout a day. Even if I don't find the shot when I initially take a look, having the image available to be revaluated in a different state of mind is invaluable to me.

@ci@social.lol The biggest thing in my view is just that numbers seem to inflated because we see people with "more". Having 100 people across the globe engage with a photo you've taken would've been reserved for the upper echelons as soon as 25 years ago.

Another shot from my photowalk out in Wheeler NWR. Been in love with Fuji color as of late.

I always wonder how they make the decision on where utility poles go. Sometimes it comes out beautiful.

@Rob_biondo @nucleo the FedEx god made sure that plane made it on time.

I've talked about them before, but the US National Wildlife Refuge system is super interesting. On my walk through Wheeler NWR, I ran into a guy biking with his dog, two fisherman, and a runner. No park rangers or tourists, and no real density of people. Maybe that's why I prefer them to their national park counterparts.

Throughout my time taking photos, I've shot a lot of different formats. The image I'm posting today, for instance, is medium format film. I find it hard to bring up gear as it pertains to photography because so often it doesn't matter, but at the same time it does. I grew the most as a photographer when I was shooting 5 rolls of film a week, but I always wonder if I would've seen the same growth if I never touched film at all.

@DrLeonJ@mstdn.social I'll definitely include alt-text in the future! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
