The post-war "peace dividend" owed its existence to three factors: industrial capacity, political freedom and pent-up demand.

The Earth from space; it is covered in scaffolding that is crawling with little rude mechanicals ganked from 17th century engravings of people operating machines.

Went out this morning and got a few shots in. Two black and white and one built up with the Trichrome process for a color image. I am digging the #Leica #Monochrom and the #Trichrome process. If you zoom in on the color one, you can see some fringing which is a byproduct of the trichrome process.

I’ve said about AI generated text “why should I bother reading something you didn’t bother writing”. This week I realized that I could use AI for those times when “why should I bother writing something you will not bother reading”

There is probably a dissertation in the relationship between Hee Haw going off the air in 93 and the almost immediate rise of right-wing talk radio. Correlation is not causation, but there are many interesting connections between the two.

Sometimes, when someone dies, what helps me is thinking about how wonderful it is that they were even alive in the first place. Dolly was the closest you could get to an American saint. We all loved her.

My East Tennessee heart where my children lived and thrived on the Imagination Station free book program truly cannot handle the Dolly Parton news right now. Please do not make fun of me because I try so hard to be a cool cynic and not a celebrity worshiper, but I literally cried

Not sure what to make of this edit from Lightroom. Reminds me of that fad from the early 2000s where every picture was desaturated except for one color #photography #blackandwhite?

Photography in 2026 be like: "Here's a pic my phone took instead of calling my friend, like I told it do" - 10,000 likes. "Here I took time to setup lighting, take several views, post-process, but not to death." - crickets.

I was added to a list called unk_test the other day. I have not idea of that is good or bad - probably why I was added. In celebration here are 4 pictures. Three black and white images taken with a red/green/ blue filter that were combined in Photoslop to create a color version. #photography.

Been playing with some very pretty Lillies in the studio this morning, I love experimenting with controlled low key exposures. Nikon D800, Bell and Howell 85mm f/1.4 #Lilies #FlowerPhotography #StillLifePhotography #BotanicalPhotography #StudioPhotography

A vertical, low-key colour still life of white lilies against an almost completely black background, surrounded by a narrow white border. Two open flowers occupy the lower half of the composition. The principal lily faces forward and slightly to the right, its broad white petals softly modelled by directional light. Dark rust-red anthers hang from slender pale-green filaments at its centre, with a few tiny grains of pollen visible on the lower petals. A second open lily overlaps from behind on the left, turning sideways and downward into deeper shadow. Above the flowers, two unopened buds rise on separate stems. The larger bud at upper left catches a soft glow, revealing pale cream and green longitudinal ridges, while the smaller bud at upper right remains dark and subdued. Long green leaves extend horizontally behind the flowers and merge gradually into the black. The stems and a narrow glass vase are only faintly visible beneath the blooms.

A portrait of the sun. There are four clusters of very visible sun spots. The background is black. Taken with a 16-stop ND100000 solar neutral density filter.

I did a series once where I posted a new quote of the days. I will say it was difficult to make these things, but it was fun. Unfortunately, I lost most of the pictures when I deleted tw*tter, so here are a few examples.

To be honest, haven't been a fan of 'novelty political candidate' for a very long time. Everything's a bit shit, and as much as some would say to that 'that's why we need a bit of fun!' I think what we actually need is some serious fucking politics and to start holding people like Farage to account
