Pin trading is a popular pastime for Olympic athletes and attendees. Chip George, Mohawk from Akwesasne and a volunteer at the games tracking shots in hockey games, brought beadwork to the Olympics and made a trade with Snoop Dogg!

Talent isn't rare. Throw an apple & you hit someone with talent. Perseverance? rare. Work ethic? exceedingly rare; the willingness to grind. Being able to endure the scorn, rejection & privation a life in the arts dooms you to in the United States is unicorn-scarce. But talent? Talent is everywhere.

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

Hey #ALX and Del Ray residents. I’m curious if anyone else monitors radon levels in the home and if this fall they have been higher than in the past?

Started the Thanksgiving break with some #CoffeeOutside this morning. Now on a southbound train for a few days in RVA and some hopefully excellent food.

Spent the afternoon and evening shooting some large format at The National Cathedral. Been awhile since I shot LF, felt pretty rusty but hopefully some good shots come from it.

A large format view camera set in a tripod and aimed at The National Cathedral in Washington, DC. The cathedral is lit by the Kate afternoon sun and numerous flying buttresses are visible.

Monday was the single biggest day of early voting in Alexandria thus far, with 1,642 Alexandrians voting in 1 day. Roughly 27K have voted in-person or by mail so far. Early voting is available tomorrow and Sunday at 4 locations! It’s time to vote, Alexandria!

Hey Alexandria. Make sure you go vote early and then stop by Casa Rosada on Payne St to get some gelato. They’re closing for the winter Nov 6 and won’t reopen until March. I recommend the pumpkin!

What an end to the day! On my way home from Council saw actual art happening in The Muse and ran in to see for myself! This is such an exciting development for Old Town North. Thanks to AEDP and The Art League for getting this project to the finish line! 😀 🖼️
