Tuesday night after the rain came this unbelievable sunset over Little Rabbit Lake.

Birthday weekend all set. Heading back to the western U.P. for the first time in 3-ish years. Thought about TRNP, Badlands, Grand Marais & the driftless before booking. I'll save those others for another time. Looking forward to all the solo photography, hiking, biking and kayaking I can do in 4 days.

This shot was from last time I was in Michigan in Oct 2021

I've got a bit of a complicated history with the place I grew up. Really, I'm sure a lot of us do. However, as difficult as that past was, there are some amazing things about it. There is some great natural beauty like this. There are some amazing people doing great things. From here on, that's what I'll choose to focus on rather than that past. Time and distance has taken care of it all. #waterfall #minnesota #photography #LandscapePhotography
Golden hour looking towards Pilot & Index Peak near Cooke City MT. #mountains #beartooth #montana #wyoming #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #goldenhour

Red Lodge, the Beartooths & Yellowstone were amazing & there are a lot of photos to come.
The harmony has been off this year when it comes to photography. I’m trying to get back at it. Vacation helped. I’ve missed the camera and the photo editing screen.
Let’s make the second half of the year way more productive & fun than the first.

Last night’s blood red moon over Lake Superior in Duluth. It’s been way too long since I’ve felt the peace of the inland freshwater sea come over me. #fullmoon #lakesuperior #LandscapePhotography #Photography #Minnesota
In ~2014, my colleague & I argued that social media (esp. Twitter) had become part of the critical infrastructure of disaster response. People were turning to Twitter during crises to share information about impacts and resources. Disaster responders were using the data shared there for situational awareness, and were communicating in real-time with their constituents. Today’s events underscore just how dangerous it is for society to come to rely on private platforms as critical infrastructure.

Happy Enshittification Day! 💥

July 1, 2023: Reddit cuts off API access, Twitter requires login, Youtube may ban ad-blockers, Meta & Google block news in Canada...

A half-year since Cory Doctorow's seminal thesis on #enshittification, how corporate platforms die (https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys), and every corporate site seems hell bend on its own destruction.
