Having a nice digital camera means that you can take tremendously silly photos of your dog that still have a strange air of gravitas. #photo #photography #dog #dslr

Mastiff looking exceptionally silly with her upper lip caught behind her lower canine teeth.

I thoroughly don't understand why people use LLMs to generate their LinkedIn posts... What's the goal? They have to know that readers can tell, right? Why would someone read or engage with something an algorithm wrote? But... then again... this is the post that inspired this complaint...

This one was a fun opportunity to play with lighting a bit – both when taking the shot but also in post. #photo #photography #flower

Other People on LinkedIn: "Here is my well-considered think piece, demonstrating my prowess in this sector." Me: "I GREW A TOMATO AND HAD A SANDWICH!"

Screenshot of a LinkedIn post from Elise Hunley, where she states:

"I'm proud to announce that I've already met one of my KPI targets for Q3.

My target was to grow no fewer than one (1) tomato and consume no fewer than one (1) tomato sandwich.

And only 9 days in Q3, that target was met!"

Below that text, are two images. One is of a woman holding a small, beefsteak tomato. The second image is of a woman gesturing happily at a tomato sandwich.

This is my other favorite photo for similar reasons, but also this is Rex, and he is one of my Favorites at the market. He always comes by the info booth to ask for treats.

Rex is a hound mix of sorts, and the picture is of him sweetly taking a treat from my hand

Took pictures of some dogs at the farmers market again this morning, and this is my favorite. Partly because it’s an adorable shot. But *mostly* because I ACTUALLY MANAGED TO GET ALL OF THE CRITICAL FEATURES OF THE PUP IN FOCUS FOR ONCE?!

A sort of doodle breed, looking sweetly at the camera with their tongue out.

Look, I haven't read the article yet, but embedding AI engineers *inside* customers feels like some Alien-level shenanigans that might not go over so well with customers. (Linking the article given that I'm making a joke at it's expense: www.geekwire.com/2026/microso...)

Hobby collision of the best kind!! Photography + my first ever itsy-bitsy tomatoes!! #photograph #photo #gardening

A small green tomato can be seen hanging on the fine. A yellow tomato flower is in the background. Another smaller fruit can also sort of be seen in the background if you know where to look.

I love me some hydrangeas, but they definitely look odd when you zoom in.

I've been experimenting with this new, minimalist, privacy-focused, wrist-based time-telling device. So far, so good. Battery life for days and never needs updates. Anyone heard of this brand before?

On this first day of Pride, I received copies of my first professional headshots as myself where I am happy with how they look! Happy Pride! #trans #transgender #transjoy #lgbtq #pride

My tomato plants are starting to bloom! Honestly, I'm just surprised they aren't dead yet.

Small yellow blossom, with 3 more closed blossoms in the background. You can see the main tomato vine in the frame as well.

These posts were also wildly helpful for me, so adding my own. On the left, age 34 — just 2 months after my egg crack, and on the right, 36, a year into HRT. One of these people is much happier and more settled in who they are. I'll let you guess who.

A picture of the same person at two points in time. On the left, the image is labeled 2024. The person has masculine glasses, close-cut hair, a trimmed beard, and a button-up shirt. You can see the person is wearing earrings.

The image on the right is labeled 2026. The person now beardless, wearing cute, feminine glasses, has trans pride earrings, and she is wearing a floral necklace. She has a black cami on with a striped, short-sleeve button up. Her hair is now much longer and somewhat curly.

And now, for something completely different (relative to all of the flowers and dogs that I’ve been posting) #photo #photography

Selfies have been hard recently for Gender reasons, so I decided to take a selfie on hard mode (with my DSLR)

Close-up view of a white trans woman's face. She is smiling at the camera and has pink glasses on.She has moderately curly hair that's a bit messy, frankly. A yard can be seen behind her.

I present, Marsha. Normal looking until she is not.

Understood. Here's my dog being a dweeb.

Got to hang out with my mom's dog, Howie, this evening – such a sweet, sweet boy... although, in his old age, he has learned the fun trick of knocking over TV trays to get food.... best boy.

Playing around with different lenses, aperture settings, and subject positioning - I feel like I'm actually getting a somewhat better intuitive sense of my camera!

Some kind of rose in our yard - the bloom is positioned such that the "bokeh" of the background is very prominent.

I adore these little flowers. Related, I probably should have paid more attention to where the drip irrigation system was running before laying on the ground to take this shot.

Switching to a fixed 35mm lens made these a lot more fun. Although, our dog gets VERY CONFUSED when I start laying on the ground.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! I posted something a bit more thoughtful on LinkedIn, but here, I'm just going to post my latest transition timeline pic because it makes me happy. #trans #transgender #TDOV #LGBT #LGBTQ

On the left, labeled 2024, a bearded person with short hair and masculine clothing and glasses smiles at the camera.

On the right, labeled 2026, the same person smiles at the camera, but she no longer has the beard, and her hair is much longer. She is wearing feminine clothing and a collection of jewelry

I've been using my lunch breaks to wander out into our yard and take photos of whatever catches me eye. It's been a solid use of my time. #photography #plants #photos #touchgrass

Marsha was only briefly willing to be photographed today after being bribed with a stick. Marsha loves sticks.
