delighted to be able to capture photos of the #moon like this now.
99% full moon with reasonably good detail for a regular person. (me, i’m the regular person)

just a gray day but a happy one for me.

just like people didn’t know what they were doing when they threw away their history to be closer to whiteness.
AI steals.

but you already knew that.
however…
it also steals your ability to control
the means of production.

(you)

this takes away your leverage to negotiate better wages
and a more appropriate balance of power.
if you can’t “_____” without AI
then you can’t and should learn how
or do something else that brings you joy.

moon looking pretty last night.
just a little past half full (waxing) B&W moon photo. need to use a tripod instead of leaning against the wall next time.

greetings
a b&w photo of the Rabobank building in Utrecht. It’s hard to explain but it’s like a tower that might look like a shallow U from the air looking down.

I love it when flights, weather, and window seats cooperate. Still one of my favorite photos I ever took was from my phone as well.
Mountains West of Salt Lake City (can’t remember the name) captured from landing approach with a thin cloud layer below the mountain tops.

I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.

photo of my shoes on a brick walking path with the added text:
there is no

we must rebuild

that
which is good.

that’s work.

Your last saved image is your current mental state. Lol. Accurate.

i don’t know the Netherlands word for it but i absolutely love the “drain gardens” where the small dirt squares along brick sidewalks for drains have flowers and small trees growing out of them.

nighttime in #Utrecht
a night shot of Florian Utrecht in black & white with lights outside - it's a semi-traditional Dutch building/bar with a slightly blurred cyclist in the foreground and a dark old church maybe in the background.

not a perfect sample plate (no tripod right now) but here’s the #q2Monochrom regular, blue, sepia, and selenium effects for anyone else that has wondered but hadn’t played with them.

so #indy folks looking to buy an #EV — i had a lot of bias against Chevy and was delightfully impressed by the Chevy #Bolt. i’m going to be moving in late May and won’t need a car where i’m headed. if you or anyone you know wants a good deal on an EV with ~250mi range in a delightful hatchback…

i know the lawn care industry would say otherwise, but i’d rather have this than a green carpet.
grass with small purple “weed” flowers and a few yellow ones too.

this entire regime is the epitome of “i meant to do that” — imagine being so insecure and incompetent that you’re incapable of allowing for the possibility of being wrong.

for #indy folks. i still miss #Atlas and #CathCoffee in the old gas station.

posting for no reason in particular. wondering how much sugar in water he’s drinking.
Edgar the bug in his “Edgar suit” with his skin not seeming to fit quite right, played by Vincent D'Onofrio. Because yes, that’s what the current situation in DC made me think of.

What’s happening (and to some extent what’s always happened) is that these “big strong leaders” are chicken-shits who send other peoples children to fight for them and call it a rallying cry.

Now we kill children because we don’t even want to put the effort into _not_ killing children.

Cosplay cowards portraying leaders and kings throughout history.

important.
important:
if you want to get the billionaires 
attention, you don’t just not _shop/buy_ on January 30th.

you _consume_ as little as possible. don’t drive. eat things in your cupboard that were going to go bad or you’ll eventually throw away. etc.

they don’t care that you bought everything on the day before and after if they still get your money.
