Fall photos from Letchworth State Park.

Another visit with the past. Balloon Manor, the slightly haunted mansion, was one of the very early public installations that launched a new realm of balloon art. medium.com/@larrycmoss/...

More fun photos from the weekend.

Fun nature photos of the week near Seneca Falls.

More nature photos from Western NY. These are from Durand Eastman Park in Rochester.

No nature photos this week. Instead I spent my time carving. Figure is 4” tall.

I just noticed RG&E's parent, Avangrid, is on the "World's Most Ethical Companies™" list. I wonder what they paid to get on that list.

What is art? I wrote this many years ago, but I've been updating a lot of my old writing and thought this would be good to share with a different audience on a new platform. medium.com/@larrycmoss/...

Why not try my hand at landscapes? A couple shots from Watkins Glen.

More cute animals and bugs. This time in and around Watkins Glen, NY.

This weeks nature photo walk. Back to Mendon Ponds Park.

I spent the morning at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge.

Local wildlife

Just some local nature photos. Flowers are all in the Maplewood Rose Garden here in Rochester.

Throwback Thursday. A project from back in 2003. medium.com/@larrycmoss/...

For Throwback Thursday, here's the story of a 40,000 balloon art installation we created back in June 2000. medium.com/@larrycmoss/...

@richardbcolon.com hey, I want to be one of the cool kids on your Rochester list, please.

What it's like to run a small nonprofit. www.larrycmoss.com/blog/

I’ve been revisiting old notes, blog posts, and memories—rewriting stories from years of travel and community art projects with fresh perspective. larrycmoss.com/blog

I use AI daily and plan to continue that. I think I use it well. Finally an argument against it that I can appreciate from Cory Doctorow. I don't think I fall into the trap he discusses, but worth keeping in mind. medium.com/@doctorow/ht...

Can one of you that listened to Booker’s whole speech summarize it for me?

Right. Any day now, Musk will claim he founded the US.

Finally. Babel fish. www.macrumors.com/2025/03/13/a...

AI video? Not yet. The prompt: Write a script for a film titled “Mediocre Art Thief”. The lead is a mediocre thief that only steals mediocre art. People are baffled by what he chooses to steal. Of course, the stuff he steals becomes worth more just because it was stolen. youtu.be/-FxRxK4lCvY

I’ve started writing again. It’s been a while. www.larrycmoss.com/2025/01/19/b...

You’re the conductor on a train that’s barreling toward 653K unhoused people tied to the track. You can save them if you switch to the track Musk, Bezos, and Zuck are tied to. Challenge: if you accept the billionaires' $ to stay on the current course, you don't know if they’ll pay once safe.

Pay your artists

People have been telling me to write my stories down (besides just as scripts for shows) for a while. So I started a new blog. Stories from my shows or things that inspired routines, or just totally random babbling: larrycmoss.com Feedback welcome.

This was such a great idea. Is this offer still on the table?

Whittled without injury.

@general-motors.bsky.social I’m unimpressed with Onstar. I received the attached texts. Note that it asked me to respond and then when I responded told me that I can’t respond. At this point I have no idea if help is on the way.

The arts are more than just a form of expression—they’re a pathway to learning, a tool for community building, and a source of inspiration. At TAROC we see the transformative power of the arts every day, and we’re inviting you to join us in making a difference on Giving Tues. tinyurl.com/taroc-give

Edible art for Thanksgiving. Three types of bread in the cornucopia.

So #roc- be sure to sign onto the #goodcause petition - it will be read into the record next month, get those numbers up even higher.

Anyone? Anyone?

I’ve been here for a few days and starting to see some of the same people I saw trying Mastodon, but Bluesky seems to to be sticking more. Why? What is it that’s keeping more people here? (Or am I imagining that?)

This ROC the Day, you have the power to bring the arts to life in classrooms and communities across the Rochester Area. Teaching Artists ROC believse every child deserves an art-rich education. On December 3, visit teachingartistsroc.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?...

Oh I missed this all so much

If a post is made on a social media platform and no one is there to read it does it really make a sound in the echo chamber?
