Google employee responds to all the negative feedback WEI, (google drm the web) (github.com)

I've been going through some of my old photos, especially the ones I took in Svalbard ~5 years ago (probably longing for the cold now that it's >25°C here). I'm really pleased with how many of them turned out. Taken with a Canon EOS 800D, and mostly either a Sigma 30mm or a Canon 70-300mm....
