A gritty black and white illustration of five Canada geese. From left to right: A sickly looking goose surrounded by flies that rise up to form the word "honk." Next is a goose in a helmet and muscular Spartan breastplate, carrying a sword and a shield that bears the word "honk." The center goose is bigger than all the rest, with demon horns, bat-like wings, and a plume of flames behind him. A large HONK is above his head. To his right is a goose in reaper's robes, carrying a scythe with the word "honk" on it. The last is a skeletal, starved goose whose ribs form the word "honk." Hand-lettered text reads, "Goosifer and the 4 Honksment of the Apocalypse." The 4 is colored black with a white patch in the style of a Canada goose's chin patch.

Shot from Liverpool and the excellent photowalk that was held there a couple of weeks back. My first time using the new Kentmere 200! #kentmere200 #filmphotography #filmcommunity #believeinfilm

The resolution is on par with the Plustek 8200i I was using before for 35mm, but of course it's vastly faster and has better dynamic range so should handle more contrasty shots better where the Plustek couldn't (even with multiple exposures you had very little latitude with the scanner). 2/2

Giving DSLR scanning another try now the tools and software have improved a bit since 2019. Bought myself a cheap(!) Nikon D600 and Sigma 105mm macro from MPB. Initial results are looking nice. 1/2

Tragic news: The breeding male of Oregon's Metolius pack was recently found killed near Sisters, Oregon.

We've contributed to the $30.5K reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the killing of this federally protected wolf.

If you love wolves, you should be very concerned - the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the very legislation that saved gray wolves, Red Wolves, and Mexican gray wolves, is under attack. Call on your representatives in Congress to save the ESA.

Let this sink in.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

🚨Heads up! App Store Connect will be unavailable tomorrow for up to 8 hours!

Please don't blame us for things not working 😄

Some shots from the beautiful hilltop town of Volterra, Italy. Taken with my Nikon F100 on Ektar 100 in 2023 #believeinfilm #filmcommunity #filmisalive #nikonf100

Early morning Mount Fuji. I love the twilight light from the opposite direction of a sunrise, especially with mountains. This was late autumn season, when I saw lots of autumn leaves at the bottom of the lake. Taken with a CPL to make them visible.

Some Harman Phoenix shots from last year. It excels at grungy street art. Nikon F100 x Phoenix 200 #filmcommunity #believeinfilm #shootfilmbenice #filmisnotdead

Alaska to resume ‘barbaric’ shooting of bears and wolves from helicopters Renewed program would allow hunters to eliminate up to 80% of the animals on 20,000 acres of state land

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse...

AK is set to resume its brutal aerial gunning program that targets wolves and bears, all to boost caribou and moose numbers - even though the state's own evaluation suggests the killing isn't resulting in more cariou and moose.

So I’m going to start sharing photos here in the hope this catches on and I can dump Instagram. I’m not sure what format suits this platform best so I’m going to start off with how I share the images on Flickr. Canon EOS 3 x Delta 100. #believeinfilm #filmcommunity #filmisalive #filmisnotdead

So as it looks like all the Meta platforms are about to be swamped by hate I've signed up for this place to enjoy it before it capitalism/capricious oligarchs ruin it 👋
