I love macro and I love motion macro even more:) Nice work, Paul. It's a follow from me. Macro was my first photo love... I remember fondly the August mornings catching the dew-laden wasps and recently hatched Monarchs and lazy milkweed longhorn beetles of the muggy midwestern prairies. ...and with Fuji Provia 100F! If I somehow survive corporate slavery, I'll get back to it with renewed zeal. Looking forward to seeing more of your work... what's out there so far is great! Keep going.
In 1776, George Washington asked for a volunteer to report on British movements. 21 year old Nathan Hale volunteered, was captured and hung as a spy. His last words:
"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."
American, remember who you are descended from.
Lift Trucks are in my blood from when I was young. Have never seen anything on X re Fork Lifts. Followed. Memories of scavenging parts in the bone yard, rebuilding valves & cylinders, machining new rods and pistons, replacing hydraulic lines, getting my fingers pinched trying to move forks, washing my hands with...well...stuff you shouldn't wash your hands with... good times.
DO YOU HEAR ME NOW?
We are the amnesia generation.
“PBS broadcaster loses access to 50TB of data comprising 70 years of TV history after contracted cloud storage vendor goes defunct — public TV channel sues Iron
Mountain data center, which hosts archival materials, to ensure preservation”
It is likely gone—forever.
Physical media is the only way to preserve our history.
My favorite capture of the night: The moment the moon's shadow split the sunset in half, leaving a diamond ring in the sky and a breathtaking view. I call it "Shadows on the Balearic Sea".
I'll have prints available for this one linked in my bio for a few days only.

@AJamesMcCarthy One of the more stunning captures I’ve seen. Bravo, man. You are good at your craft. Inspiring. Dedication and commitment to excellence!
This is absolutely the case. It has been very hard to encourage a balanced and healthy view of AI with my own kids. Most of their friends hate it or see it as a way to cheat. Their teachers and others who don’t understand or grasp the potential call it evil.
Educators are some of the slowest to adapt in the society. It will hobble the next generation if they cannot harness it to do good, build things, make, innovate, learn, teach, etc.
All they see are videos of killer robot dogs and stories about the next model hacking its way out of the lab.
I get it. It’s scary thinking about what evil people will do with it. Good people must counter the bad.
This is epic! Perseid fireballs are becoming common as we approach the peak Wednesday night into Thursday.
Also for all those who don’t yet follow Landon, *highly* recommend. (Both a talented mumbologist and very knowledgeable about space weather.)
@japan_nobunaga This is an echo of both their legacy institutional hubris and their over-inflated sense of self importance. They believe they are “The Media” with a capital M.
@teknopunk_com@BrianRoemmele Unfortunately the commercial model decided we had too many awesome features. Those were awesome days. Now I have to carry an external dock device everywhere and still have times I wish I could just swap to a fresh battery.
