Every sunrise is proof you survived the night and earned another chance to shine. Rise, reset, repeat. What's your favorite way to start the day? 🌅 #goodmorning #sunrise #sunday #photography #nature

Also late for #BlueSkyArtShow, but this #infrared view of the waterfront in Wilmington, Delaware has become one of my favorites. To me anyway, the sky and water look #golden. But being #colorblind, I'm not actually sure they are! #photography #surreal

Late for #BlueSkyArtShow, but let me ask your advice: What could I do in editing to attract the eye to the #golden confetti is flying? I like this shot but my I keep flitting up to the plastic bag. #photography #performanceArt

Am I the only one who dislikes always hearing "We will rock you" and "We are the champions" together? #Queen #UnpopularOpinion

My first-grader asked if she or I were closer to college and I wanna know who is feeding the youth such hurtful questions

Universities, research institutions, and hospitals are heavy users of district heat steam. True in Boston and also a lot of other cities. The @broadinstitute.org, Mass General Hospital, and Takeda's R&D center are on this system, as @craigofwaffles.bsky.social reports. #chemsky 🧪

A hot 4th of July in DC. The Great American State Fair was a fiasco in some ways and really cool in others. All it in all, it delivered on the promise I made for a memorable #summer day. Odd-color shot is #infrared #photography with a 720nm filter. #BlueSkyArtShow #sky #DC #murica #festival

No comment on the politics, but dude certainly has a vibe going on the #water. #BlueSkyArtShow #boat #fishing

The Patterson Park Pagoda is really called the Observatory at Patterson Park. Even up close, it's hard to tell by looking how #big the #Baltimore landmark really is (60 feet). Likely a bit of clever #architecture is behind the effect. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #eastCoastKin

Bingham Hall, part of Yale in New Haven, Connecticut. Shot in #infrared with a 720nm filter and processed as B&W. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #architecture

Playing with my woodcut effect on #photography of the #Baltimore skyline. I've found that I get cleaner lines and negative spaces if I crank up the manual denoise and contrast while dipping the sharpness before I bring the photo over into photoshop to apply and adjust the effect.

This contest is a fascinating thing. The Venn Diagrams here ... Also, the insight that a lifetime supply of Natty Light is equivalent to $15,000 is a neat little nugget #beer #Murica #contest #solar #solatPower

If you like the photos I share on here, and you live/visit #Baltimore, go to Zeke's Cafe on Harford road and see the #IRL prints! #photography #fleshspace #coffee #art #infrared

Ride Home or Metromance I can't decide, titles are hard. Snapped across the platform on the metro ride out from downtown DC ahead of yesterday's "storm." #4thofJuly #transit #street #photography #DC #eastcoastkin #urban #romance

I just figured it out, the Great American State Fair bag rules are a conspiracy to bring fanny packs back into common use. Can't be wrong all the time, I guess. #usa250 #DC #GreatAmericanStateFair

It would be wild to #sail one of these across the Atlantic, and even wilder to have that be your job. So cool to see the Fleet Week ships in #Baltimore. #sailboat #water #maritime #photography 1/2

#Macro photography is in a hard spot along with other #hyperrealism because it overlaps with what #AI can do "well." I hope it emerges out the other side; it's a fascinating genre that is also an easy entry point for casual audiences into #photography. Anyway, here's my #grasshopper. #BlueSkyArtShow

Late for the #BlueSkyArtShow, but I do enjoy the #curve of this bridge in #Pittsburgh Schenley Park. It looks like something out of a fantasy novel. #photography

Okay, #BlueSkyArtShow, I want your opinions, raw and unvarnished. I've been playing with an edit look I'm calling woodcut, based on the #sharp masks in photo editor software. What do you think? Fun? Too obvious? "Cool-but-have-you-tried..."? #photography #critique #fashion #sailing #Baltimore

If I keep finding my way into these kinds of evenings, I might learn how to dance AND how to take some okay photos. #music #night #photography #Baltimore #lasers
