OMG I wondered what happened to you, I'm glad to hear you're good and it was just a matter of being banned. I definitely won't be a stranger, and maybe I'll stay posting here again just because.

One day I'm totally going to remember on a regular basis that this app exists.

Maybe it's just me getting older, maybe it's just too many social media platforms, maybe it's just me being too busy.

Either way, TGIF and I hope you're all doing great!

I saw this "Bring back the plague" bumper sticker 5 years ago today, January 24th 2020. Just over a month later we would see the world go into lockdown.

In hindsight, it feels like those were much simpler times, "the before times" that is.

Time to put my uniform on, another night, another photo booking. πŸ‘Œ

So happy to have my Z mount 24-70 back from service, using my f mount 24-70 yesterday was painful πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

I haven't, but very accurate description of this time of year in Toronto πŸ˜‚

I will add it to my list of stuff to watch while I wait for spring πŸ˜‚

I think the project I'm most excited about for my 2025 is my one with NATO Canada.

With everything going on in the world, the disinformation, the division, the foreign influence, I don't think I could have asked for a more interesting time to be working on this project. Truly honored for the chance

I could really go for some of that sunshine stuff i think it's called. Yeah, definitely could use some in Toronto any time now.

Thanks

And don't forget that it wasn't a border crosser either, but simply one that was overstaying their visa in the US.

This was an interesting read. It's a fictional "If Trump was serious about invading Canada" storyline, complete with battle maps and headlines.

It's all getting a little crazy TBH, and as much as I love chatting online and connecting with new and old friends, I gotta keep taking breaks... But at the same time I need to remember to come back πŸ˜‚

That feeling when you felt like you grabbed everything you needed before you headed out, but not until you got downtown you realized you forgot to put the card in the camera πŸ™„

Thankfully I'm not at a shoot today, just a trip into the core.

Well, there we have it, the drone in LA that collided with a Super Scooper plane was a sub 250g DJI Mini.

People think these sub 250's you can just fly anywhere, and "they're too small to do damage", now it wouldn't surprise me if new (much needed) regulations come to these smaller craft.

P.E.I. homeowner captures sound and video of meteorite strike on camera, and scientists believe it's a first | CBC News A man in Prince Edward Island got doubly lucky last July, recording a meteorite's impact on his home security cameras. The space rock also landed in the exact spot he'd been standing minutes earlier.

Ok now this is cool!

A couple in PEI capture video and audio of a meteorite smashing into their walkway outside their home.

First time that the impact sound has ever been captured πŸ‘€

While I'm no Swiftie (surprising, I know), I gotta give the lady credit where it's due.

I'm not the biggest fan of winter, especially when it's not snowy out and it's just cold, and grey.

So I picked up #ArmaReforger to pass the time, and I've got to say I really missed Battlefield type games, had a lot of fun playing last night.

Anybody else playing Arma? Squad up?
