The abstracts that the ocean generates endlessly is the only type of generative art I have time to create...

@WestWXWatchers Literally booked flights across today because of the risk of flooding

When tech is out of touch with culture. The pinnacle.

[Paul Pichugin @paulmp]

Any truly creative person will tell you that the process and the journey are the point... the act of creation is the point.

The technocrats can't understand enjoying the work & process to improve themselves at something, they want to short cut their way to talent they don't have and they don't want to pay for it, so they stole from every creative who has ever created something.

@joey_jo00 Yeah, we're not going anywhere just yet.

It is my annual (at minimum) existential crisis time... looking at real estate in Tasmania, Victoria (yes, really), New Zealand... and Japan.

I'll end up staying exactly where I am most likely, the flattest, driest part of Australia... when what I love is mountains, waterfalls, alpine lakes, snow, mossy creeks... I don't want to move my kids away from their grandparents, I saw mine once every few years because we moved away (dad was military, they move you around), I wish we hadn't, so I won't do that to my kids lightly.

@StJunt Beautiful region, I went through last year and loved it.

[Paul Pichugin @paulmp]

@MuzzaDavo I'm over that way next week, looking forward to it.

[Paul Pichugin @paulmp]

@xeneks I love FNQ, I would consider it for a few years at most though. I remember going through cyclones and their storms as a kid though.

[Paul Pichugin @paulmp]

@intrepid_p I know right? It is a stunningly beautiful country outside the cities too.

[Paul Pichugin @paulmp]

@LisaLemon09 Heh, I could probably do that with one set, definitely not on the other set though.

[Paul Pichugin @paulmp]

@MuzzaDavo I meant WA in general... but Australia as a whole is very flat compared to most other places.

Riding camels in the Jordanian desert was quite the experience... got to say, I'm not a fan of riding camels it turns out. Not particularly comfortable in certain places.

Mount Tambora, Sumbawa, Indonesia... This volcano erupted in 1815 and cooled the entire world so much that they called it the year with no summer.

I was fortunate enough to be there at a less explosive time, but in time to photograph an incredible storm sweeping across it.

Usually full by now. Might need to get a truck load (literally) of water in to make it through summer

[Paul Pichugin @paulmp]

@RachelSTWood @SuperRare Well deserved.

[Paul Pichugin @paulmp]

@SandyHorne61 Happy to cook it for you when you visit, there are plenty of birds to photograph locally too.

Brunch is served... shakshuka eggs on a potato rosti nest with a beetroot puree, herb oil, crisp chilli oil, asparagus, chorizo, halloumi, and a red onion pickle.

All made from scratch.
