I just got back from teaching a photography workshop in Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. I think this is my favorite shot of the trip that I've processed so far. If you look closely, you may be able to see the herd of bison in the distance.

"Those who have never seen Superior get an inadequate, even inaccurate idea, by hearing it spoken of as a 'lake,' and to those who have sailed over its vast extent the word sounds positively ludicrous. Though its waters are fresh and crystal, Superior is a sea. It breeds storms, and rain and fogs, like the sea. It is cold in mid-summer as the Atlantic. It is wild, masterful, and dreaded as the Black Sea." - Rev. George Grant, Ocean to Ocean, 1872

2024 PaddlingLight Update https://www.paddlinglight.com/articles/2024-paddlinglight-update/

I realized today that there's been a dark and moody theme running through my photography since the start of the pandemic. It isn't all my work, but it has been a constant addition and is different than what I did before.

In my latest essay about photography, I write about stacks of books.

The talking heads on TV news have done a good job of convincing their audiences that they aren't the elite. Hiring Ronna McDaniel to be a talking head should be a clue that the major news sources are fundamentally corrupt to their core.

Back in 2006 I took this photo of a cargo bike in Mexico. I wish I hadn't cut off the rear of the fender. This is well-loved. I think it's single speed with coaster brakes.

It's now possible to follow Threads accounts from Mastodon and see what they are posting. You can reply, but the replies aren't being imported into Threads, yet. So, I followed myself to see if it works. It does with a delay between when I post on Threads and when I see it here.

Threads to Mastodon observation. On Threads, you can post 10 images per post, but due to only being able to post four here only the first four are shown on Mastodon.

I just boosted a Threads post with photos from my Threads account if you want to see it.

I didn't alt tag them on Threads, so I'm sure I'm going to get yelled at here, but it is what it is. While I'm told I do a good job with my alt tags, I find them mentally draining to write.

Anyway, the Threads connection is working.

Minnesota is supposed to get a big dump of snow, and I'm crossing my fingers that it hits the North Shore and the Grand Marais area. My kid has never snowboarded on good, fresh powder. It would be great if his second year of snowboarding would end with feet of fresh pow. Plus, they'd groom the Pincushion XC ski trails and I'd get a few km in. I'm only short ~950km of my goal. :)

I just saw this on Threads:

Everyone STOP what you are doing.

Go to O’Reilly Auto Parts website.

Type: 121G in the search bar and hit enter.

You’re welcome.

If you're a biker and looking for a helmet, watch this video first. Also, buy from a legit bike shop or sporting goods store and not an online store. Seeing what happens to a high-end counterfeit helmet in this video is scary.

I love this time of year on the big lake. It's a world-class photography destination this time of year.

(Shameless self promo: I'm running a photo workshop in this spot in Feb. I have two spaces open.)

Is there a way to check how many of your Mastodon followers are still active on the platform?
