Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

Excited about more improved Continuity on Apple devices since years ago, missing texts on my Mac that didn't show up on my iPhone cost me a paying job and an important working relationship.

Ahhhhh, @sonyalpha just announced a very exciting new lens—the FE 16mm f/1.8 G—and I can’t believe I got to try it out in one of the most gorgeous landscapes on Earth 🤩 If you’re curious about it (you should be, it’s amazing), I wrote a review on my blog with sample images. Link in the comments!

If your day has been difficult, or if you’re feeling anxious, here’s some Cornish medicine to ease your heart. It might not change things much but hopefully a moment of calm will help in a small way. May your evening be peaceful, my friends. 😊

Earlier this year I travelled to western Mongolia co-leading a workshop. For a couple days we hung out with the family of Serik Jenisbek, one of Mongolia's best-known eagle hunters. He and his family showed us such hospitality, and it was fascinating to learn about his traditions and culture.

Time for some ice! To my new followers: I'm rather fond of a place called Jökulsárlón in south-east
#Iceland
. An enormous glacial lagoon is filled with chunks of ice that calve off the glacier, & flow down a little river where they're dumped on the Fellsfjara beaches. It is quite magnificent :)

On this day in 1986 I was at a diner in Concord, NH watching the Challenger take off with Christa McAuliffe on board. Everyone was so proud all around us. Not ready for what was coming. How could we have been. I keep thinking about it today.
