In a rare moment of media covering itself, here's the lead story on The Guardian right now (while everybody is *at last* covering the venality of Fox News, too)...

As lovely as it is treacherous, Hudson River State Hospital is perhaps the most dangerous building I've ever photographed. Here's why. By Matthew Christopher of Abandoned America

Hey Fediverse...

Do me a favor? Check in on people that you haven't seen for awhile?

This time a year a lot of people fall into seasonal depression and may need checking in on.

Approach with kindness and just ask how they are, and if there's anything that they might want or need from you?

Be a friend. Someone might need one right now.

Do you folks sincerely believe the Holocaust happened because 6 million Jewish people were not good at making the argument and not very polite?

Cause some of your replies seem to indicate that.

You beat fascism, by stomping fascists. Being "correct" didn't help one person the fascists murdered in history and it's not gonna help you here.

This is ENTIRELY MY POINT; your liberal frame of reference is USELESS here. You fight, or they kill you. End of story.

My #introductionpost. I am a caregiver for my gran (formerly: photographer at St. Petersburg College in Florida).

In my personal photography, I enjoy oddball cameras and lenses. I love my Sigma Merrills. The Pentax 645D is next on my bucket list. In better days I did a lot of wildlife photography at the local parks. I miss that. I'm doing more landscapes and portraits now.

Outside of photography, I spend a lot of time reading and playing video games.
