Sorry about the CBC Bot. I was working on it just before I had to travel, and it had some issues with tags and duplicate posts. It was also running from my desktop, I'm moving it to a dedicated server later today, after I fix the above issues. @scrubfire84.bsky.social

I see people posting "wannabe photographer". Stop. If you are pointing a camera and capturing images, you*are* a photographer. My passion started when I was 9 and repaired my parents old Brownie Reflex, which they then gifted to me. #photography #vintage #camera

Every year there is a Feria in Chapala, Jalisco. They invite master craftsmen from the region to show their wares, and have a stage set up for entertainment. In 2019 they had Flamenco dancers. It was an incredible show. #chapala #jalisco #flamenco #mexico #photography

View from Marmot Mount near Jasper, AB. 2009. There were forest fires that year which added a blue tint to everything. I though because of the overcast smokey atmosphere it wouldn't be a good shot. I like it. #jasper #alberta #mountains #photography

WHO comments on United States announcement of intent to withdraw

The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization.
WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go.

The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board. For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership in WHO.

With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past 7 years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues.

We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.

It's amazing how far cameras have come in smartphones. Hi-resolution and image enhancement boggles the mind. Could I have taken a better picture with my SLR? Sure, but it's unwieldy to bring on a trail run. I also feel less of a target when I travel in uncertain places. Pixel 7 Pro. #photography.
