Photographer, bibliophile, traveller, very occasional artist and immigrant (I've only immigrated 1X). I herd cats for a living but try not to talk about that here.

This probably won't even count as news east of the 135 meridian, but yesterday a white guy threw an IED into a crowd of hundreds of Invasion Day protest attendees. Thankfully it didn't go off.

Maybe ASIO could comment? PM? LOTO? Special envoy for racism against Indigenous Australians? Shouldn't there be a RC?

Nah, all good, def not terrorism.

Brought home a little extra treat from our holidays, wife and I are both a bit stuffy. She's more crook than I am, but I logged in to my work portal today to file for personal leave, only to find that I had indeed taken today off as well and don't restart work until tomorrow. Yay?
I want to ride my tricycle, tricycle, tricycle. I want to ride it well!

Old timer! Does anyone know what model car this is? Left in the forest of Sweden, once part of a large junkyard. Now, reclaimed by nature 🌲

So I bought the iPhone Air and have thoughts about the whole camera ā€œdowngradeā€.

I don’t get it. Photography is my main hobby, aside from ergomech keyboards and programming. I have had this phone with me on holidays for three weeks now and have captured stunning and fun photos just fine with this camera. I had a 13 Mini which has the wide angle, which I used, some, probably <10% of the time. This sensor is more capable than either of those were.

If anything I’m more creative with a single focal length. But then, I travel mostly with my X100VI as well. So, there’s that.

Having a super slim device in my pocket is surely worth it for me, even if my camera is ā€œlimitedā€.
