Full of creative ideas and ways to make things happen. Wearing a lot of different hats while working to help us achieve the UN 2030 SDGs.

Here is the link to the survey I have been discussing in previous posts. Not my research, it's from Alina Wojciechowska who is a student at the University of Stirling.
I'm sharing it here because I found it so interesting and thought others in the #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead community might also like to see it.

I am reposting it here on a public post so other interested people can also share it if they wish.

The resurgence of analogue photography in the age of digital technologies

Every couple of months I spend an enjoyable morning helping a local charity shop in #Oxford sort out their box of 'Cameras and photographic stuff'.
I test it all for basic operation, clean things up, paying careful attention to lenses, add labels and notes, and price them up for display.

I am told they are usually all sold within a weekand I always hope the working film cameras will be used.

@kellyromanych @lishaberzins I like #bloomscroling already! Thanks for that

. @drupad You already mentioned this, I know.
Global Academy DO researchers want a place to talk with each other, and perhaps this would be a good one?
Moving slowly until we understand how much support and engagement to expect.

Academics and researchers love Twitter – or they used to. We’ve used Twitter very successfully for The Global Academy so we are sad, but not surprised, to see it falling out of favour.

No point moping.

Mastodon might be our next option. It’s worrying/sad to see how little #SDGs information is shared here and our research community is well placed to improve this.

Are you a researcher with an interest in ‘SciComms’? Let us know if you would like to be part of this.

The SDGs (Global Goals) need a bigger platform - The Global Academy

We'd like to see more conversations about the SDGs, or Global Goals, on Mastodon, as well as on Twitter

When I lived in Ottawa, Canada, some neighborhoods prohibited outdoor washing lines!
Almost as if modern humans can only function when using fossil fuels . . .
@keithdevereux where will you hide it?
@keithdevereux It's VERY green . . .
@suntour Ok, just read you profile and understand 100% why you stopped.
Never really thought I would do this again either, and somehow here we are,!
