Donald Trump's State of the Union address descended into chaos after he unleashed a vile racist tirade and ranted about being denied an illegal third term in office.

ICM shots (intentional camera movement) -this technique creates interesting abstracts. Photos 1&2 are the same subject, just shot and processed differently. Shot with iPhone 13 Pro Max #streetphotography #ICMphotography #PDXphotography

I took a photo of this still life, then used AI sleight-of-hand to create a digital painting.

A reminder to always photograph what you love. I took these snapshots of my children with a film Canon AE-1 30+ years ago; I then printed these precious photos on fiber paper and hand tinted them in the 1990's. #NationalPhotographyDay #FilmPhotography #PortraitPhotography

I asked ChatGPT to do "deep research" on the Congressional Budget Bill H.R.1 as well as give me an analysis of the impacts as estimated by the US Congressional Budget Office. It took 61 minutes to review and analyze the nearly 1000 pages of data. The result is this 27 page summary.

Under the Milky Way, the stars went on forever. The scale of it all made one thing clear: we’re probably not alone. I felt small but connected, just one piece of something infinite. August 2021, Mount St. Helens, SW Washington #astrophotography #landscapephotography

One of my favorite walks in the area is Lake Sacajawea in Longview Washington. It’s a well documented Arboretum with a variety of gorgeous big deciduous trees. It’s always wonderful to walk there in every season.

A color photograph of trees in Autumn. The dominant color is yellow. Ling shadows of the trees are cast in the lawn of fallen leaves . The photograph almost looks like an oil painting. The location is Longview, Washington and the walk is around Lake Sacajawea.

A month ago I had surgery on my wrist and it looks like recovery is a long way off. Anyone else have LRTI surgery? In my third cast and I can’t imagine using my hand anytime in the future. Any photography TouTube recommendations appreciated!!

Took a trip to Amsterdam in September. One of my favorite travel shots. I love how Mama was watching out for her babies. #travelphotography #amsterdam

Color photo of the morning bicycle commute in Amsterdam. It appears a mother with two school age children have stopped. The mother puts her hand in the air to indicate Stop! The young lad in the picture looks to have abruptly stopped his bike and has a look of bewilderment. The younger sister is also stopped but appears to be trying to get the bicycle going again. The rest of the bicycle commuters trudge on around d the stopped family.
