When a photographer posts a photo without the location noted, this is not an invitation to say the location in the comments because you know it. “What is…” we are not playing Jeopardy! but some locations are unfortunately in jeopardy. #socialmedia @naturefirstorg

I always enjoy seeing the yearly recap from our Photo Cascadia team. And this awesome end-of-year video wouldn't have happened without the fantastic work from Erin Babnik. Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=K9xgb5…

Been months since I have been on or posted on X. I figure the end-of-year photo rewind is a good time to check in and say "hi." Here are a few of my favs from the year. You can see the full collection with personal write-up on the journal page of my website. Happy New Year!

I haven't shared on here in a while, so I figured I would post some random photos taken this year from the desert to the forest, and can't forget along the coast.

@thegaryarandall Unfortunately they can be in examples like this. I have to hope some learn from this experience as to not repeat it again.

@AdrianKleinPNW Humans are disgusting animals.

Really sad and unfortunate in this day and age seeing a mountain of a mess like this, especially along a beautiful lake. If everyone packs up their own trash there would be no issue. theguardian.com/us-news/2023/j…

Ever been to short term rental house where the accessible washer and dryer are off limits to guests? One of the oddest signs I have seen in a house rental. #rentals #oddsigns

While in Alaska I got to thinking back on photos from last summer in AK, that I haven’t shared yet. Here is a macro scene from along one of the endless ocean coves. #Alaska #aquatic #kelp #snail

It’s late June, the warm sun is shining and people are walking around in shorts and flip flops. Please don’t be that car I can hear blocks away because you still have your studded tires on. The road thanks you. #summer #tires #studded

@NaturePhotoNet is now publishing an excellent digital nature magazine. The first edition was filled with great articles and inspiring photos. It’s worth checking out. npn.link/adrianknvm

@rwongphoto @Yahoo The last few years some stations have been more lax about self serve based on personal experience. At this time legal self serve is small counties only which is another confusing aspect. This new law will require 50% self serve per station so full serve will still be an option.

@rwongphoto @Yahoo I have been waiting my whole driving life for this! Not a done deal yet. Still need our governor to sign, but nothing I have seen yet to assume she won’t. 🤞

@TinaKotek I am hoping you will sign this bill. It’s long over due for Oregonians to be able to pump gas without an attendant. Not to mention the current patch work of some locations can and others can’t doesn’t make sense. Thanks.

@rwongphoto Interesting that they are banning AI images (for now) but the use of AI for text is okay.

It’s Monday morning, time to get at it! My cat clearly doesn’t feel the same. 😹 #Mondaymorning #cats

@SMarinoPhoto @MRungPhoto @SophieCarrPhoto @alexnail @Photo_Poll I second that. My only mirrorless experience prior to the R5 was Sony some years back and the EVF was atrocious, making me wonder why would anyone want this.

@MRungPhoto @SophieCarrPhoto @alexnail @Photo_Poll The main reason I held off on getting a mirrorless camera was hating my first experience with a Sony EVF on a pocket camera. With my Canon R5, I absolutely love the EVF. It is so handy to see accurate exposure info, level, histogram, and focus peaking all right there.

@rwongphoto This is specifically why when I did a new website in 2022 I decided not to have a tag line around nature photography. It is mostly what I do but I don’t want to limit myself, and some work I have added isn’t my usual nature work. Urban work coming at some point too.

@rwongphoto Sadly I have biked or walked past many places looking like this near my home as well. But it’s slowly getting better around here.

Been reading about litter on Everest for years. It’s unfortunate that it continues at this level. I believe there is a large $ refundable trash fee in the permit cost, maybe it needs to be higher. How do they determine who gets a refund given conditions like this. Maybe none.

@Photo_Poll Dependent on where I am. If I am in a generally active area then I feel it’s up to me to be patient and wait. If no one is around and someone walks into my frame I would kindly open up a conversation. All this assumes up close, far away and healing brush is fine.
