Photo taken in March 2022 at Vintage Tube Services in Belding, Michigan with a Pixel. Culture # 100 years of whatever this will be with a thoughtful call for better regulatory foundations. With that last one being a bit heavy, Underrated reasons to be thankful is actually quite uplifting.

Photo taken in October 2019 at The Storr in Isle of Skye, Scotland with a DJI Mavic 2 Pro. The last half of this year really got away from me in terms of writing things down and actually sharing it.

Photo taken in July 2016 at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Las Vegas, Nevada with a Sony Alpha α7II, FE 28mm F/2. Finally settled into Hugo. Seems that for now it’s ushered in a boon of reading and writing. Transitioning content from ghost was necessarily manual so I could re-read/edit/remove. It’s felt good to clean house a bit. Also adding a travel section so I can remember places that I’d like to go visit. ...

Photo taken in July 2016 at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Las Vegas, Nevada with a Sony Alpha α7II, FE 28mm F/2. Little late… I’ve been dragging my feet as on writing as I’ve become irritated (maybe for the final time) in the direction Ghost is headed. I’ve been mucking about with Hugo and am trying to decide on exactly how I want things to look before transitioning. ...
