There’s an aesthetic ideal I’ve been chasing for maybe fifteen-ish years now. I had always been big into Final Fantasy, and 13-2’s sequences in the City of Academia in particular struck me hard. I think the bulk majority of the art that I produce, of those broad cityscapes I photograph, is trying to capture that essence, that glass-bound, overcast neofuture, the sort that lights up real fancy when it’s night.

Also there’s a bird in this one.

Thanks for seeing my work!

This isn't something the geography actually lets you see very often around here, so I had to stop and unpack my camera from its hard case on the back of my bike (which is quite a faff) and take this.

Bonus motorcycle inclusion version:

I visited a medieval fair and really liked that guys horse.

I was doing a quick assignment for someone in Pike Place Market -- not so much about making art, but rather capturing reference photos and images of signage and architecture, just moving through and capturing all the angles and all the textures and all the surfaces.

And I got lucky with a stray snap of the lens.

Thanks for seeing my accidental work?

I was poking around a forest the last couple days and got a number of pics I'm particularly fond of. Just taken on my phone, idk the first thing about editing 😅

They came out a little fuzzy but thought I'd share.

Working hard on my band photography, seeing as how I seem to pick up a reasonably good and consistent seat every couple weeks. This is Chanpan, consisting of Grace Dumdaw and Lance and Matthew Tran.

Thanks for seeing my work!

The land mullet (Bellatorias major) is one of the largest members of the skink family (Scincidae).

The species may reach total lengths of up to 60 cm (23.6 inches). They are uniform glossy black to brown, with a paler ring around the eye. Their colour, along with their large size, allow them to maintain a body temperature of 30 degrees Celsius; they spend much of the day basking in the sun. Adult males have slightly shorter bodies but slightly longer forelimbs and heads than adult females. The ventral side (belly) ranges in colouration from auburn (orange-brown) to white, Juveniles have prominent cream lateral spots.

It is long-lived - with one captive female lizard known to have lived for at least 23 years.

The common name “land mullet” is said to date back to Longman (1918), who reported it to be in common usage for the species around Tamborine Mountain. The name probably alludes to the superficial resemblance to the homonymous fish, which has a similarly blunt head, large scales and is of similar size and coloration.

That'll do Autumn, that'll do... 😁

P.S if your country doesn’t have the freedom to roam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom/_to/_roam there’s something inherently wrong.

I meant to post these earlier, but I kind of got sucked into other things and eventually forgot. You know how it is.

The sunlight was not being cooperative with me just at this moment, so it was challenging to get any decent pictures of this particular monkey. How so?

Well, with this stupid fence mesh in the way, for a start. With a glossy finish on it, no less. Some people just have no respect for the struggling photographer, let me tell you.

Male and female white faced sakis are dimorphic. The females are all black, or possibly all grey depending on how you want to look at them. Only the males have their namesake white faces. Misogyny again, even with monkeys. What a crock.

Anyway, the unavoidable polka dot effect created by the fence here might just serve as a small but fitting unintentional tribute to Yayoi Kusama, and almost even on time.

Look at this fancy as fuck lichen that got it's hair done and is ready for #FungiFriday
