For the last year or so, he’s been experimenting with Infrared photography (IR) using a regular iPhone.

Wrote a brief guide to the getting started and what tools he’s using.

It is MUCH more accessible than you’d think. Infact, with the addition of an IR filter (for as cheap art $26), you probably have a smart phone or DSLR that works today.

We’d love to see what photos you make.

I'm wondering if anyone who has dealt with @fema in the past has been able to get any allocation for lost income — I've had to cancel multiple workshops in order to be here to help, and the likelihood is I'll have to cancel more before they're even announced.

Further, there are inconsistencies with @fema's communication / copywriting (details matter) on https://t.co/gYDxXpaqdR, with regard to timestamps on uploaded documents (EST+4?), time spans for communication being different than stated (on the same page no less), etc. (via Twitter: https://twitter.com/danrubin/status/1654547049184894979)

The @fema folks we've spoken with so far have been solid and organized, but the small windows they provide for communication have already proven difficult under the circumstances, and it's creating more work for our mum, my brother, and me.

This isn't ideal service design. (via Twitter: https://twitter.com/danrubin/status/1654546290028474371)

We're spending most days in mum's house, slowly clearing and reviewing everything — wet and dry, recoverable or beyond saving — wearing respirators, and ending each day exhausted. Keeping up on email and phone communications is difficult with 3 of us trying to stay on top of it. (via Twitter: https://twitter.com/danrubin/status/1654546004576706569)

While I'm relieved that @fema is providing disaster assistance for Fort Lauderdale after the flood, I'm not sure how most people would be able to handle the cognitive overhead required for processing paperwork, answering / returning calls, etc., while dealing with everything.

Looking for an inexpensive (I know, I know) Hasselblad 500CM with an 80/2.8 — I had a 2nd and sold it to a friend years ago (happily), but am about to start an art project which requires two identical cameras…

If you have one gathering dust and want to help, let me know 🙏🏼 (via Twitter: https://twitter.com/danrubin/status/1648676478651977743)

Rental viewings have been impossible in Edinburgh in the 18 months I've been looking (which really means that no viewings have been available during the days/weeks I've been able to be in the city in that time).

If you have friends/relatives looking to rent there, let me know <3 (via Twitter: https://twitter.com/danrubin/status/1647953883916914689)

A bit of positive news: Twitter returned control of my brother's account to him, so @alexrubin is now secure again. (via Twitter: https://twitter.com/danrubin/status/1646906143485116416)
