World’s Greatest Negotiator Really Fucking Nailing Middle East Crisis — The Shovel

“He’s showing that when it comes to negotiating a centuries old, complex conflict, he really does have a lot of experience in doing dodgy real estate deals in Queens”.

This one slaps with the graphic designer wing of the resistence.

The man who made me the photographer I am today. This is the first photo I ever took (aged 5); it's no surprise that of all potential subject matter that could have grabbed my attention at that age, I chose him. He passed away in 2006 when I was in my mid-twenties, and what I wouldn’t give some days to take just one more photo of him. Thank you, #Dad, for all the gifts you gave me, including a shared passion for photography ❤️

A photo that I snapped an hour ago of the San Francisco #NoKings protest. I estimate about 150,000 people in total.

Everybody is a star. Thank you for being one and shining so brightly. Rest in Power, Sly Stone. 🙏🏿

Bill Atkinson was one of the most brilliant, imaginative, and compelling people I ever had the privilege to work with. His vision touched every device you use today. And his heart, his open love and humanity, exceeded all of that.
Here’s rare audio of Bill Atkinson talking about HyperCard at a 1987 NY Mac Users’ Group meeting, courtesy of Charles Mann’s wonderful Powersharing Series. https://soundcloud.com/thepowersharingseries/ps165-clip-sculley-atkinson-hypercard

@photosbygina_yeg What a beautiful memorial to your father. I'm so sorry you lost him at such a young age.
