Captured with a small full frame mirrorless camera and 21mm lens.

A six second exposure created a motion study; we can see how people move around the plaza. Or perhaps they're ghosts.

Compositionally, this is mostly a study of circles and rings, with an imaginary diagonal radiating from the fountain to the man with the camera in the lower right.

It’s a real shame that I’ve never read anything in praise of Fortnite’s ongoing level design. The island is so complex and beautiful right now!!!

whatever you think fortnite is, they’ve replaced every piece of the game with something better and more interesting. while keeping the game running the whole time!

God, I’d love to read an oral history of their last 5 years. I’d call it “Shipping Theseus”

Russian drones crossed into Romania.

Back in 2001, I went to the Mihail Kogalniceanu airport just outside of Constanta.

We stayed where the Romanian 39th infantry regiment is.

If we still train with the Romanians there, we will shoot down any drones approaching our aircraft and or base.

Only he’s not writing to you. He is showing you exactly what is happening.

And he’s still here. Still alive. Still trying to survive genocide.

Can you see him? Can you hear him?

Will you help?
