"We are tenant farmers on Amazon’s land, irrigated by the streams of Cloudflare. We rely on Crowdstrike and Palo Alto Networks as walls to keep the barbarians out. And like all serfs, we are safe right up until the moment the Lord lowers the portcullis." brandonkarpf.com/insights-med...

"There are," the swordmaster said with emphasis on every word, "many problems that can not be solved with a sword." "Yes, but if you do attempt to solve them with a sword," the former student said, "you will get new problems, which can be solved with a sword." "Yes. That's why they sent for me."

It took my breath away when this view expanded below me: The magnificent mountains of Canada's Yoho National Park cradle turquoise lakes reflecting intense light, as the setting sun colors low lying clouds. #bluesky #photography #landscapephotography #nature #naturephotography #landscape #travel

I've been working this week on a reproduction of a historical map from 1875. It's a map of part of the Canadian Great Plains. This is an unusual project for me, but it's been an enjoyable diversion, trying to make the map feel like the original. The original is in color, tho.

I have cleaned-up this autochrome of a (possibly Cree) First Nation family, photographed in colour 111 years ago on the bank of the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta. It was taken by the German photographer Hugo Viewegar in 1914. It is original colour, not colourised.

Photographed in colour by Auguste Léon 111 years ago, on Monday 19th January 1914, I have cleaned-up & enhanced for you this wonderful autochrome portrait of a young girl from the village of Aswan in Egypt. It is original colour, not colourised.

Hello! I'm giving away 20 (20!) signed paperbacks of this book to the first people to reply to this post. Stephen Fry called it "enchanting" and "hilarious" but some people hate it & that's all cool & what happens with books. Limiting this to UK (but happy to send outside if you can cover postage)..

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

I was recently asked if I had ever captured wolves howling on camera. This is one of my all-time favorite captures.

Look who came up the driveway this afternoon!!!! You've never seen me grab my camera so fast. Unfortunately, I had to shoot through a dirty window in low light, so it's a bit fuzzy. Still! Lynx!! In my yard!!! Look at those big fluffy paws! 🦊🌿

For my U.S. followers, our Canadian federal election must be held by this fall, but it can be held sooner. Our outgoing Prime Minister is still head of govt until a new Liberal Party leader is chosen on March 9th. It’s not up to Trudeau to decide when an election will take place. #cdnpoli #uspoli

You know what the real problem is here? Gretzky didn't think there'd be any consequences to being a Trump supporter. He still won't speak up for Canada yet his wife is telling us he's heartbroken and we're supposed to feel bad [that his actions have had consequences]. MAGA men are so fragile.
